This is what a Republican dictatorship looks like. It is very dangerous.

It is sheer stupidity to oppress the facts of science. The agency should sue the president for dictating processes that do not serve the people. The dangers of this administration cannot be understated.

Donald Trump’s sharpie-gate refuses to blow over. (click here) In addition to the president’s seeming determination to keep his Alabama gaffe in the news cycle, another wrinkle emerged Saturday: the same National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that publicly chastised the National Weather Service in Birmingham for refuting President Trump apparently ordered its own employees not to contradict him.

According to The Washington Post, an agency-wide NOAA directive made the rounds on September 1, hours after President Trump included Alabama in a tweet warning states in the path of Hurricane Dorian. After the NWS office in Birmingham corrected Trump’s warning to specify that “Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian,” not only did the NOAA release a public statement that the “Birmingham National Weather Service’s Sunday morning tweet spoke in absolute terms that were inconsistent with probabilities from the best forecast products available at the time,” but behind the scenes staff were reportedly directed to “only stick with official National Hurricane Center forecasts if questions arise from some national level social media posts which hit the news this afternoon,” as well not to “provide any opinion.”...

It will be amazing to see cruise ships crashing against the rocks and sinking due to turbulent seas when Trump dictates his political priorities to the message of agencies assigned the safety of the people.

NOAA is an agency that enriches life through science. (click here) Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep the public informed of the changing environment around them.

From daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, and climate monitoring to fisheries management, coastal restoration and supporting marine commerce, NOAA’s products and services support economic vitality and affect more than one-third of America’s gross domestic product. NOAA’s dedicated scientists use cutting-edge research and high-tech instrumentation to provide citizens, planners, emergency managers and other decision makers with reliable information they need when they need it....
