NOAA is one of those agencies that people don’t think about (or know about), but the work they do is critical for understanding so many issues: global weather patterns, climate change, ocean acidification, sustainable fishing levels, just about anything having to do with the health of our oceans and atmosphere like it says in the goddamn name.
They NEVER have enough funding as it is. I know people in this office — brilliant scientists who have dedicated their professional careers (and SO many extra hours) to helping *our communities* by making science more accessible to folks from all walks of life.
Fuck this administration and everyone who supports it. We’re gonna spend the rest of our lives restoring the damage they’ve wrought, and they don’t give a single damn that it’ll hurt their own children down the line.
