    We think that a goal of analyzing data in under six months is achievable if the data-gathering and climate-modeling labs prioritize it. This entails a small shift by the U.S. agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and the Department of Energy, and international agencies such as Copernicus, the European climate service provider, toward sustained funding instead of one-off research grants.

    Right as the MAGAs are about to abolish the NOAA. Perfect timing, no notes. 👩‍🍳😘🤌

      They aren’t going to abolish NOAA. Just…cut out stuff that goes against what they want to hear. I guess it’s the same thing in the end.

        They won’t need to abolish it. They plan to replace the 11,000 hired contractors with loyalists, just like every other agency.

    It’s almost as if a point at which the temperature tips upward has occurred. A “tipping point” if you will.
