Trump fires NOAA’s chief scientist for asking political appointees to follow scientific integrity rules

The Chief Scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is out.

Craig McLean, who until recently was the acting chief scientist, had sent a memo to political appointees at NOAA requesting that they, like everyone else, observe the agency’s scientific integrity rules, The New York Times reports.

The next day one of President Donald Trump’s political appointees, Erik Noble, told him he was out and had already been replaced.

The NOAA is the federal government’s premier scientific agency. It oversees vital agencies including the National Weather Service.

3. This whole political appointee thing should be made bigger.

In all departments, the incompetence of who trump has appointed. Nothing gets done by this administration, they just get by.The covid response, day to day operations of the white house, meetings and phone calls with foreign counties, they just muddle through it without and professionalism and intelligence.

16. What does he have against science?

Science does not follow the tv script that he has written.

When an actor does not follow the script he gets himself fired.

21. When I got to the fourth paragraph, my mind registered "Erik Prince."

Oddly, my reaction was more or less disgust, and not outrage. I guess those reactions are kind of aligned, but still...

[warmfeet]

Correctly so.

[bdamomma]
