It's hard to overstate how catastrophic this would be for hurricane forecasts. Should Congress approve the move, it would undo 50 years of hurricane forecast improvement. The folks taking a broad ax to climate are hacking away decades of progress to life-saving weather forecasts.

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the research arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices, according to internal documents obtained by CNN

This would be a disastrous move should Congress approve such a proposal. Dismantling NOAA's research and development arm would shutter the Hurricane Research Division in Miami and undo any progress in hurricane forecasts, one of the great scientific advances of the past 50 years.

Need to sound the alarm on this one. As I understand it, this is from the "President's Budget Request", which often isn't really used that heavily by Congress (who actually controls funding). But this would essentially end all research and development within NOAA and NASA if

These probationary cuts were done with a hatchet, not a scalpel. They have everything to do with an unlucky status and nothing to do with conduct or performance. The worst part is they disproportionately affect some of our brightest early career scientists like Andy. Disgraceful.
