Republicans want to gut NOAA and privatize it.


Marshall Shepherd, a professor at the University of Georgia and president of the American Meteorological Society, told Climate Central,
“I am fully supportive of making the U.S. the best weather modelers in the world, but we must also maintain a viable short (6-month to 2-year) and long-term climate modeling capacity,” he said in an email. “It would be short-sighted to dismantle that world-class capability.”

Mary Glackin, a former top administrator at NOAA said, “It places weather at the forefront to potentially the exclusion to other earth science research work that may be done at NOAA.”
