DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases on key weather buildings Andrew Freedman NOAA CENTER FOR WEATHER AND CLIMATE PREDICTION DISCOVERY DISTRICT 5830 UNIVERSITY RESEARCH COURT NOAA's Center for Weather and Climate Prediction headquarters in College Park, Md. Photo: Michael A. McCoy/Bloomberg via Getty Images The Trump administration has informed NOAA that two pivotal centers for weather forecasting will soon have their leases canceled, sources told Axios. Why it matters: One of the buildings is the nerve center for generating national weather forecasts. . It was designed to integrate multiple forecasting centers in one building to improve operating efficiency. It houses telecommunications equipment to send weather data and forecasts across the U.S. and abroad. Driving the news: The NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction is on the lease cancellation list, according to a NOAA employee who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. • Two ex-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials also confirmed the list. • The building houses the National Weather Service's National Centers for Environmental Prediction, or NCEP, which includes the Environmental Modeling Center. It opened in 2012 and has about 268,000 square feet of space. The modeling center runs the computer models used in day-to-day weather forecasting, and ensures that weather data correctly goes into these models and that they are operating correctly.

elsteve314159 02/21/2025 If you are 80% of the way through building a million dollar home and then cancel the whole thing, you didn't save a million dollars. You saved at best $200k and now have a useless unfinished asset that requires $200k more to be worth anything. And if you understand that, you're already smarter than DOGE. 7.2K 80 501 147
theconcealedweapon Follow austerity is theft @wideofthepost 91 disabled kids in one PA school district abruptly cut off from a support program to help them transition from high school to life after school because the DOGE brigade hit ctrl+f for "transition" and never bothered to read any further Patrick LaForge @palafo So @elonmusk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word "transition." It helps them to transition from high school to work. usagi-zakura Follow What's this? "Transport"... THEY'RE TURNING THE CARS TRANS SHUT DOWN THE POSTAL SERVICE!

Why. Literally why. Even from the most cynical, oligarchy perspective, what possible net positive could there be in diminishing citizens' ability to receive weather updates? How does this help anyone, make anyone money? Why.
