Trump administration cuts to NOAA already disrupting weather balloon program and forecasts | Doge-related budget shifts putting lives at risk

PROJECT 2025 IS DISMANTLING NOAA RIGHT NOW

Trump administration and Doge is already cutting critical weather services while The Heritage Foundation plans total breakup

Project 2025's Explicit Plan to Destroy NOAA

Direct from the Heritage Foundation's Mandate for Leadership:

"NOAA should be broken up and downsized... [It] has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future U.S. prosperity... The preponderance of its climate-change research should be disbanded."

Their Specific Plans:

Why This Threatens Every American

Immediate Dangers:

  • ❌ Less accurate hurricane forecasts
  • ❌ Delayed tornado warnings
  • ❌ Cuts to tsunami monitoring
  • ❌ Lost fishing industry data

Long-Term Threats:

  • 🌡️ No independent climate data
  • 🛰️ Weather satellites privatized
  • 🔒 Paywalls on life-saving forecasts
  • 💸 Corporate control of public science

Project 2025 Admits Their Goal:

"NOAA's current organization corrupts its useful functions... Each of these functions could be provided commercially, likely at lower cost and higher quality."

TLDR; Turn public weather data into private profit.
