Good things will still happen

It's been a rough week for the NOAA family, including feds, contractors, and scientists across this country / world. I need to say something very important. It is my motivation to get you the weather, water and climate data you need, regardless of what has, or will happen to us.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

"There will be no interruption in service. All NOAA Research sites will remain online," a NOAA spokesperson told Axios Friday afternoon. www.axios.com/2025/04/04/n...

Kindleberger's spiral coming to mind

My friend from the NOAA lab that brings you the Keeling Curve wants that world to know that things are horrible inside NOAA.

FaceTiming anyone in America these days

NOAA’s office of Oceanic Atmospheric Research has had IT and other support contracts canceled in the last day or so that will fundamentally affect its operation. One source there said “It will seriously hurt our ability to improve weather forecasting and climate projections.”

Make no mistake about it, if those numbers are even close to true, there is no way all of the weather forecast offices can exist as they do now. A full-on attack on public weather services. If a car lost 25% of its parts, it doesn't slow down. It just doesn't work.

We are bringing forward the full transition to #OpenData to 1 October 2025. This means that our entire Real-time Catalogue will be fully available under a CC-BY-4.0 licence at the maximum resolution. Find out more ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...

The wind map at hint.fm/wind/ has been running since 2012, relying on weather data from NOAA. We added a notice like this today. Thanks to @cambecc.bsky.social for the inspiration.

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this. earth.nullschool.net

Only thing efficient about this administration is how quickly they torched the country's reputation.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

AMA about my love of maps observablehq.com/blog/maps-an... thanks @allisonhorst.bsky.social for the cosy chat

Global ocean heat content is at record high levels - new update just in from the Japan Meteorological Agency dataset... 🌊 Graphic at zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

3 of the top 4 institutions receiving the most NSF funding are for earth, ocean, and atm science 1. Leidos(MD): McMurdo Station on Antarctica 3. UCAR(CO): National Center for Atmospheric Research 4. WHOI(MA): Ocean Observatories, Deep Submergence, research ships dellweb.bfa.nsf.gov/top50inst2/d...

Most people in the US have no idea about the attacks on federally funded science or our government institutions. Many (or most!) of your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends have no idea. My own MAGA dad thinks DOGE is just identifying waste, and that nothing has been cut. We have to tell them.

While I wait for the email that tells me whether I’ve been fired or spared, here’s a thread of things I’ve had the privilege of working on, experiencing, and accomplishing in my 10 months as a federal employee at the Storm Prediction Center. 1/?

I really cannot believe my childhood career dream might end like this. Feeling so small and lost.

i got to live my dream working at emc as a federal employee for 7 months. i’ll forever be proud of that and all that i did for 7 years as a contractor. no one can ever take that away from me.

God this is such a good video. I cannot believe we still have to put up with the absolute dumbest people spreading fossil fuel misinformation in media in 2025

The NOAA CO2 data website has vanished. gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

A Met Office and Met Eireann 'red' warning for wind tomorrow for Ireland and parts of Scotland due to #StormEowyn. Very windy everywhere over the UK at times. Might be a working from home day if you can. A very low central pressure below 940mb is possible. Image: earth.nullschool.net

Sending gratitude to all the folks who served in the Biden Admin and dedicated years of their lives to making progress on climate action and environmental justice. I see you and appreciate you! Your work matters enormously and will continue to resonate. They may slow us down, but they can't stop us.
