Trump tried to nominate the CEO of accuweather to run NOAA his first term, but was blocked. That CEO has lobbied to get Congress to limit the services NOAA provides so it doesn’t “compete” with companies like accuweather.

Project 2025 calls for moves similar to that.

Key quotes:

> The document describes NOAA as a primary component “of the climate change alarm industry” and said it “should be broken up and downsized.”

> Project 2025 would not outright end the National Weather Service. It says the agency “should focus on its data-gathering services,” and “should fully commercialize its forecasting operations.”

> It said that “commercialization of weather technologies should be prioritized to ensure that taxpayer dollars are invested in the most cost-efficient technologies for high quality research and weather data.” Investing in commercial partners will increase competition, Project 2025 said.
