There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

Now the good news: This is preventable. We can SAVE NOAA and the NHC.
BUT ONLY IF WE COME OUT IN MASS NUMBERS IN NOVEMBER AND FROM NOW ON.

And LITERALLY the only other thing in this whole section is a massive expansion of commercial space operations and "space commerce", meaning....pretty much weather forecasting turns as unreliable and as unusable as severe weather threads on Xitter nowadays (Page 677, page 709 in PDF) 14/x

Oh, and for the final poo-cherry on this turd sundae, they want to farm all of this out to private companies via "small innovation prizes"--but ONLY if they're ideologically aligned with the goals of Project 2025, thus pretty much assuring no weather forecasting. (Page 677, pg. 709 in PDF) 13/x

I wasn't kidding when I said Project 2025 was coming for the Hurricane Hunters, either. They're planning to abolish the ENTIRE department devoted to marine observations (including buoys) & the aviation operations (aka the Hurricane Hunters planes). Not. Kidding. (Pg. 677, pg. 709 in PDF) 12/x

A Tell in this is that Project 2025 wants to "downsize" (read: completely neuter) the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, largely because OAR shows inconvenient truths that climate change IS happening and humans are PROBABLY the cause (probably)...per page 676 (page 708 in PDF). 11/x

I wasn't kidding about them coming for the buoys (and that's all in part of basically destroying the very concept of national marine sanctuaries), per p. 676 (p. 708 in PDF) Note: NOAA actually relies on buoy readings for wind & storm surge predictions for hurricanes, so losing this is Bad. 10/x

And under the wording in the Project 2025 document, this can't even be discussed or planned for, because it's considered a nonpartisan acknowledgement that climate change exists (and they can't have that). Even when we're getting a Category 4 hurricane in June and Florida can't get insurance 9/x

And another thing involves the NHC discussing whether there needs to be separate categories for storm surge danger and winds or whether a Category 6 needs to be added or whether enhanced wording (much like there are for typhoons and tropical cyclones in other parts of world) are useful 8/x

And yes, this impacts NHC being able to do its job. One of the actual discussions involving climate change has to do with the naming of hurricanes (functionally the Atlantic now has multiple lists, like the Pacific, because of too many incidents of literally running out of names)... 7/x

Yes, Project 2025 is coming directly for the National Hurricane Center itself AND the NCES that provides satellite imagery that enables the NHC and Storm Prediction Center to MAKE hurricane action statements (pg 675-676, pps. 707-708) Can't admit to climate change if it's illegal to do so 🙃 6/x

And, well, that plan for privatizing all of NWS is a problem, and one compounded by the fact that they're also proposing to privatize or outright get rid of almost every other department at NOAA that is responsible for weather data and weather modeling that even Accuweather uses... 5/x

And in pages 674-675 (pages 706-707 in the PDF) they lovingly go into how, yes, this explicitly includes the NWS, this explicitly includes the *satellite services that see hurricanes*, this includes the Hurricane Hunters planes, this includes *ocean buoys* used to take wave measurements 4/x

So for simpler reading. I did the search for you, and on page 663-664 (page 695-696 in the PDF) they flat out admit "Yeah, nuke the Department of Commerce get rid of NOAA entirely, privatize it or make states do their own storm warnings if they want them" And it gets worse. Much worse. 3/x

And I always share my receipts. In this case, right from the horse's mouth, namely Heritage Foundation's own Project 2025 document--and how it'd get rid of not just the discussion of WHY there's nastier hurricanes/storms, but even the *WARNINGS* for them

Today's fun #Project2025 fact:
Project 2025 would actually make it *illegal* to discuss that there are climactic changes that make it more likely to SEE a Category 4 hurricane in June, much less the potential *reasons* for said climate change...
And the NHC, and NOAA, wouldn't exist to warn.

How did the GOP get dragged rightward from the 1960s on? Part of it had to do with the activism and organizing of fascistic conservatives like Huss who kept insisting (with their voices and votes) that the party move in their direction. sethcotlar.substack.com/p/silver-shi...

In 1964 Huss had been gung ho for Goldwater. In '68 he'd backed Reagan for the GOP POTUS nomination, then when Nixon won Huss moved on to back George Wallace. In '72 he backed John Schmitz, the candidate of the American Independent Party. In '76 & '80 he backed Reagan for the GOP POTUS nomination.

This flier was for an event attended by Walter Huss, the former chair of the Oregon GOP in 1992. He'd backed Pat Buchanan for the 1992 GOP nomination, & then when GHWB got the nod Huss moved on to back a "true conservative" like Gritz. This was part of a longstanding pattern for Huss.

We’re in the middle of a full blown crisis and being forced to have conversations about power and abuse and aging and trauma and the past and the future that we were never taught to have. In fact, capitalism actively incentivizes not having those conversations.
