CBS News has a rundown on a projected warmer than average winter.
Of course, that includes intense storms like those happening across the continental US right now.
Odd how current news reports look an awful lot like Al Gore’s slide show from 25 years ago.
Also underlines why Project 2025 wants so much to break up NOAA – to blind us to the increasingly dire situation.
American Institute of Physics:
Project 2025 repeatedly targets climate science beyond its discussion of DOE. A chapter on White House agencies states that “the Biden administration’s climate fanaticism will need a whole-of-government unwinding.” The chapter author Russell Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget during the last year of the Trump administration, proposes the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy work to roll back climate initiatives along with policies promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across science agencies.
He also proposes to “reshape” the U.S. Global Change and Research Program, which coordinates climate change research across agencies and produces the quadrennial National Climate Assessment. Noting that the NCA results can have legal implications for agency rulemaking, he states, “The next president should critically analyze and, if required, refuse to accept any USGCRP assessment prepared under the Biden administration.” He further calls for OSTP and OMB to “jointly assess the independence of the contractors used to conduct much of this outsourced government research that serves as the basis for policymaking.”
Project 2025 also proposes breaking up the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, describing it as “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry.” The chapter author is Thomas Gilman, who served under Trump as the chief financial officer of the Commerce Department, NOAA’s parent agency.
“NOAA should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories,” Gilman states. He proposes disbanding a “preponderance” of climate change research funded by NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, which he calls “the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism.” By contrast, he does express support for NOAA’s role in collecting longitudinal climate data, so long as it is presented neutrally.
