Trumpery corrupts NOAA: NOAA staff warned against 'opinion' about Dorian after Trump comments

Get over it loser. Trump was right, as always. Go snivel somewhere else

Note the warning "after Trump comments".

Donald Trump has corrupted every branch of the American government and turned NOAA into a political tool.

"A NOAA meteorologist told the newspaper that the message was interpreted internally as a reference to the president's comments. Shortly after Trump said Dorian could reach Alabama, the National Weather Service's Birmingham branch emphasized in a tweet that the state would not be affected by the storm."

NOAA then proceeded to defend Trump's weather forecasting skills.

Donald Trump has corrupted government agencies forever. They will never recover even after the Trump management in government agencies is expunged.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reportedly warned its staff against providing information beyond official forecasts just hours after President Trump claimed in a tweet that Alabama could be impacted by Hurricane Dorian.
The agency issued the directive on Sept. 1, according to an email obtained by The Washington Post.
The email, which was sent to National Weather Service (NWS) personnel, told employees to "stick with official National Hurricane Center forecasts if questions arise from some national level social media posts which hit the news this afternoon."
The Post noted that the email also cautioned staff against providing "any opinion" when faced with questions about the hurricane.
A NOAA meteorologist told the newspaper that the message was interpreted internally as a reference to the president's comments. Shortly after Trump said Dorian could reach Alabama, the National Weather Service's Birmingham branch emphasized in a tweet that the state would not be affected by the storm.
NOAA reportedly sent a similar message after Trump showed off a map that appeared to alter Dorian's original path projection with a marker.
“This is the first time I’ve felt pressure from above to not say what truly is the forecast,” the meteorologist said to the Post. “It’s hard for me to wrap my head around."
A National Weather Service spokesperson told The Hill that the directive was sent as part of an effort to avoid distractions.
"NWS leadership sent guidance to field staff so they (and the entire agency) could maintain operational focus on Dorian and other severe weather hazards without distraction. The guidance made no reference to the president," the spokesperson said in a statement.
An anonymous NOAA official told the Post that there was no "political motivation" behind the statement. Acting NOAA Administrator Neil Jacobs and NOAA Director of Public Affairs Julie Kay Roberts were reportedly involved in writing the statement. Commerce Department leadership ultimately approved its release, the Post reported.
NOAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
Trump faced widespread pushback last week after stating that Alabama would potentially feel the effects of Dorian. The president continued to defend his statement throughout the week and at one point displayed a map in the Oval Office that appeared to show a marker-drawn addition to indicate that the hurricane would hit the southern edge of the state.
NOAA officials on Friday released an unsigned statement affirming Trump's claims. The statement also disavowed the tweet from the National Weather Service in Birmingham about the hurricane.
The statement sparked backlash from many quarters of the scientific community and within the NWS.
“These are the people risking their lives flying into hurricanes and putting out forecasts that save lives. Never before has their management undercut their scientifically sound reasoning and forecasts,” Dan Sobien, who heads the National Weather Service Employees Organization representing thousands of employees working under NOAA, told The Daily Beast.
The anonymous NOAA official told the Post that the statement called out Birmingham's office because one NOAA hurricane forecast showed a chance of tropical storm-force winds hitting a small part of Alabama.

Another stupid ignorant post by a snot-nosed ignoramus. Well, read this and weep asshole:

NOAA Contradicts Weather Service, Backs Trump On Hurricane Threat In Alabama
NOAA Contradicts Weather Service, Backs Trump On Hurricane Threat In Alabama

The parent agency of the National Weather Service said late Friday that President Trump was correct when he claimed earlier this week that Hurricane Dorian had threatened the state of Alabama.
The surprise announcement in an unsigned statement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration essentially endorsed Trump's Sunday tweet saying that Alabama will "most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated."

Sit on that and spin, beotch

Snide Trumpery and corruption.

There’s no end to this administration’s corruption and dishonesty.

You folks keep forgetting that OBAMA is no longer president.. We have an actual CITIZEN who has brains and the ability to use them to kick out your corrupt POS bureaucrats.

Vladimir Putin?

Get over it loser. Trump was right, as always. Go snivel somewhere else

You keep telling yourself that. I really don't mind an occasional lie from him, because I know he can't help himself, but it's insulting for him to tell such stupid lies, and want us to believe them.

Terri proves herself a doofus once more.

I understand you like Trump. I liked Obama. But more than once, I posted here that Obama was “pressing the stupid button” and “you’re making a mistake Mr. President.”

ME: Once again, after the dust clears, Trump is right, and all the haters who insulted him on this subject turn out to be the assholes they are. When will they ever learn.

This is the official projection map from the day Trump first made his statement......

That's nice. And now, back to this:

IF we can't even count on the weather service to be honest who can we trust? Two Republican appointees who would not sign their names? Trump made a mistake, we all do, why must he always be right even if it means creating a lie?

 

[TNHarley]

There were trajectory maps showing Alabama could be hit.
Trump was just behind on updated info. If he didn't act like a little girl all the damn time and just admitted it, this retarded shit would be over.

Because the little girl hasn't admitted to his mistake.
Originally they said it could hit Alabama.
Outdated info happens..

"WASHINGTON — The Secretary of Commerce threatened to fire top employees at NOAA on Friday after the agency’s Birmingham office contradicted President Trump’s claim that Hurricane Dorian might hit Alabama, according to three people familiar with the discussion."

Why the fuck would the mods merge two threads that are saying the exact opposite thing. WTF

It's the same subject. Relax, don't panic and you'll learn to persevere.

Perhaps they're endeavoring to express the duality of man.

Are we talking about the same federal agency named NOAA that has been caught manipulating and distorting weather data? That NOAA?
