A judge ruled their firings were illegal. The government got to do it anyway A judge ruled the firing of thousands of federal employees was illegal. But he stopped short of ordering the government to reinstate them, predicting the Supreme Court would overturn it.

The Secretary of Commerce's new policy requiring his personal review of all NOAA contracts over $100,000 is directly harming American science. πŸ§ͺ

How do I know? Because this morning, twelve of America's rising leaders in climate science (including myself) were furloughed.

White House Proposal Could Gut Climate Modeling the World Depends On Potential funding cuts for NOAA and its research partners threaten irreparable harm not only to climate research but to American safety, competitiveness, and national security.

NEW: The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research β€”a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling β€” represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from.

Trump's NOAA firings leave Northwest workers in 'purgatory' Fisheries scientists who were fired by the Trump administration say they've been living in limbo as their work is sidelined.

Firings at NOAA Fisheries will ultimately hurt fishing communities. The effects of climate change will continue even if we stop studying them.

Trump seeks to end climate research at premier U.S. climate agency White House aims to end NOAA’s research office; NASA also targeted

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.
