NOAA tied to dodge the Trump DEI Executive Order, so now it is being audited by Elon Musk\u2019s team\u2026and their quest is upsetting social justice warriors and climate cultists.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Legal Insurrection<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted by Leslie Eastman<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has been actively involved in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, embracing them tightly during the last 4 years.\u00a0 This is the federal agency responsible for e federal agency for forecasting the weather, researching and analyzing climate data and tracking storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is a little perplexing that the staff was distracted by social justice initiatives, rather than the meteorological science American expected them to focus on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has gained access to NOAA\u2019s IT systems and is currently reviewing the\u00a0agency\u2019s DEI program<\/a>\u00a0after having been initially denied entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

At least one member of DOGE has entered the Department of Commerce \u2014 the agency that houses NOAA \u2014 and was granted access to NOAA\u2019s IT systems, according to U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who is the ranking member of a subcommittee with jurisdiction over NOAA. The DOGE move was also confirmed by Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee; Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., ranking member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee; and other current NOAA employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOGE was first denied access to the NOAA IT servers but now has access, according to two sources familiar with the situation. DOGE is looking for anything tied to DEI and whether they have removed anything DEI-related from bulletin boards, including posters and signs, the sources said. They also checked bathroom signs to ensure they complied with President Donald Trump\u2019s executive orders.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One of the NOAA administrators has been placed on administrative leave<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Also this week, the head of NOAA\u2019s Office of Human Capital Services\u2014the agency\u2019s human resources team\u2014was placed on administrative leave. NOAA referred questions to Commerce, which did not respond to a request for comment. The move follows the Trump administration and DOGE placing leaders at many agencies across government on administrative leave and its widespread efforts to shrink the federal workforce.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The staff within the agency is\u2026.upset<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Inside the NWS, there are grave fears of what a potential 5-10% cut of staff could mean for their ability to operate weather radar and provide timely and free forecasts for this year\u2019s hurricane season, a person familiar with the situation told CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe people of the Weather Service are as fine as you\u2019ll get in terms of getting the mission done, but it would be a pretty substantial cut,\u201d the person said. \u201cPeople are scared. They\u2019ve never had this type of uncertainty really hang over them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, they brought the issue on themselves by trying to dodge Trump\u2019s executive order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It appears the @NOAA<\/a> has a DEI Dept called \u201coffice of inclusion\u201d and installed the same woman who was running DEI at @NWS<\/a> to run that office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebranding DEI is still DEI and it will be shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.@DOGE<\/a> should look into this. Cc @elonmusk<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Z51NOOYIeR<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RjNkPBzJfe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many of us who have serious concerns about how climate science has been manipulated to pursue eco-activist agendas are hoping for a bit more than a focus than just on DEI:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Thanks for everyone\u2019s help in getting @DOGE<\/a> to look into NOAA\u2019s data tampering factory. pic.twitter.com\/QcWlsKNRLU<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And eliminating \u201cindigenous knowledge\u201d from reasoned discourse related to weather phenomenon would also be immensely helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

DOGE should start by cutting all funding that promotes indigenous ecological knowledge from NOAA: https:\/\/t.co\/3idoES2KF4<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/J0PCcnUx3B<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be fascinating to see exactly what the young men of DOGE uncover, in terms of discourse and data analysis as they pertain to global climate and atmospheric levels of life-essential trace gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
