#NationalWeatherService is now hiring back hundreds of positions that got cut in the #DOGE chaos
#NWS has received permission to hire 450 #meteorologists, #hydrologists and radar technicians just months after being hit hard by DOGE related cuts and early retirement incentives.
The new hiring number includes 126 new positions that were previously approved and will apply to “front-line mission critical” personnel, a #NOAA official told CNN.

#Trump wants to destroy or privatize #weather satellites that already cost taxpayers "$750 million to design, build and launch" but only cost $15 million per year to provide critical data to Americans. Farmers & scientists are completely reliant on these already funded satellites, there are no replacements if the administration tries to stupidly crash them into Earth to "save" a few bucks. #NWS #climatechange #ClimateDenial #GlobalWarming #TrumpIsUnfit
