Well, they are doing it. Most of NOAA is getting cut including anything to do with climate surveillance, storm weather prediction and modeling, and any kind of public outreach. The Fifth National Climate Assessment Report has already been taken offline in violation of federal law (backups are available on other sites but no future assessments will be forthcoming) and thousands of climate and meteorological modeling experts are soon to be unemployed, with many projects which are in process and near completion abandoned, and data analysis which farmers, mariners, aviation, urban planners, et cetera depend to for planning no longer available. So we can ‘save money’ for tax breaks for the überwealthy.
