Bill Nye becomes target of MAGA after making claims about Elon Musk on CNN.

Nye said Musk’s actions at NOAA amounted to “fundamental corruption."

“This loss of talent at NOAA is going to set the agency back years and compromise the integrity of missions that directly support human health and safety, economic prosperity and national security… This is not a move toward efficiency; it’s a move toward putting Americans in danger every day.”

“I want to be clear: If there were to be large staffing reductions at NOAA and NWS … there will be people who die in extreme weather events and weather-related disasters who would not have otherwise,” Swain said in a statement shared on social media.

This reckless decision will cost lives.

NWS is a lifeline for families from hurricanes & severe storms. It provides crucial local forecasts we use every day. Slashing its workforce cripples its ability to protect communities.

My neighbors deserve better—this is an outright attack on public safety.

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA

Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for*

Make that part clear when you ⬇️

It’s saying a lot when America’s weatherman Al Roker is speaking out against Trump & DOGE’s NOAA staff firings. Their actions aren’t just wrong — they’re dangerous and make us less safe when storms hit.

Loss of talent at #NOAA will set the agency back years & compromise integrity of missions that directly support human health & safety, economic prosperity & national security. “This isn't a move toward efficiency; it’s a move toward putting Americans in DANGER every day.”

I’m thinking we should spread this news about the firings at NOAA as far and wide as possible. Like cancer research, weather forecasting seems likely to be broadly popular across the political spectrum. apnews.com/article/nati...

The work done by the scientists at NOAA facilities in Boulder and beyond protects our communities in countless ways.

Proud to stand with @bennet.senate.gov & Senator Hickenlooper in demanding immediate answers on these reckless mass terminations from the Deputy Inspector General 👇🏾

Calling all Oceanography & Atmospheric Sci. professors! Let's teach our students the many & varied ways that the services that NOAA provides impacts their lives. This is a teaching & LEARNING moment to help Americans understand how federal agencies impact them directly www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...

Trump gutting NOAA will affect vital climate research and public safety. These cuts threaten the ability to provide weather forecasts and respond to extreme weather events. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and disasters will strike with less warning particularly in the South. This has real world consequences.
