The proposed NOAA budget cuts all climate research, closing labs, offices and measurement systems. Other countries (🇨🇦) are jealous of NOAA's depth, breadth, quality and history of atmospheric and ocean research. If you want to streamline that work, cut budgets, there may be a rational discussion...

... this isn't that. This is ideology (climate = bad) leading people to act in a coarse manner against their own self-interest, as it risks wasting the capital investment in building the programs, giving away leadership in science, and undermining American's ability to prepare for extreme events...

Until NOAA says climate change isn't happening and deregulation is nothing to worry about, the Trump regime will want it gone. There is no rational discussion.
