We Watched Neil Jacobs’ Confirmation Hearing for NOAA Administrator and Are Concerned about What We Heard

President Trump’s nominee to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Dr. Neil Jacobs, faced scrutiny during his confirmation hearing before the US Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. Dr. Jacobs, who previously served as acting NOAA administrator, came under fire for his involvement in politicizing the agency’s scientific work and violating its scientific integrity policy during the “Sharpiegate” scandal.

During the hearing, Dr. Carlos Martinez, Senior Climate Scientist at UCS, closely monitored the proceedings and highlighted some key takeaways. Dr. Martinez expressed concerns about Dr. Jacobs’ willingness to undermine science for political purposes and questioned his ability to lead NOAA effectively, especially in the face of climate change impacts.

One of the major concerns raised was Dr. Jacobs’ endorsement of President Trump’s proposed budget cuts to NOAA, which could have detrimental effects on the agency’s ability to carry out its critical mission. Additionally, Dr. Jacobs’ lukewarm comments on human-caused climate change raised doubts about his commitment to addressing this pressing issue.

NOAA plays a crucial role in gathering and analyzing scientific data to understand and predict climate and extreme weather events. With the agency facing budget cuts and staff reductions, there is a growing urgency to protect NOAA’s scientific enterprise and ensure that its data remains accessible to the public.

Dr. Martinez emphasized the importance of holding Dr. Jacobs accountable and ensuring that he upholds NOAA’s scientific integrity policy and defends the agency against political interference. It is essential for Congress to closely monitor Dr. Jacobs’ actions if he is confirmed as NOAA administrator and to push back against the proposed budget cuts that could hamper the agency’s vital work.

In conclusion, it is imperative for Congress to prioritize funding for NOAA and reject any attempts to undermine the agency’s scientific mission. The nation relies on NOAA to provide accurate and reliable data for weather forecasting, disaster preparedness, and environmental protection. By safeguarding NOAA’s resources and upholding its scientific integrity, we can better prepare for the challenges posed by climate change and extreme weather events.
