  • The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is now scrutinizing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The article from ABC News discusses a situation where NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is reviewing its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs following a report by the Heritage Foundation. The report highlighted that NOAA's DEI initiatives might be diverting resources from its primary mission. This has led to concerns about the effectiveness and focus of NOAA's efforts in areas like weather forecasting and climate research. NOAA has responded by stating that they are committed to ensuring their DEI programs support their mission, and they are currently evaluating these programs to ensure they align with their core objectives. The review comes amidst broader political debates about the role of DEI in federal agencies, with critics arguing that such programs could be politicizing scientific institutions.
