An open letter to our fellow meteorologists and climate scientists from our Department Head, Steve Nesbitt
An Open Letter to Our Fellow Meteorologists and Climate Scientists 28 February 2025 Dear Friends and Colleagues, The news of layoffs at NOAA and other federal agencies has been tough to hear, and I know many of us here in CliMAS are feeling the weight of it. NOAA’s work is at the heart of what we do as meteorologists and climate scientists, and it’s hard to see talented, dedicated people facing uncertainty. Earth scientists are some of the most dedicated people to their profession you’ll find. Many have dreamed of their careers since they were young, like me, and now those dreams and aspirations have been jarred. I know this is a difficult time, but the weather and climate enterprise is close-knit, strong and supportive. Whether in government, private industry, or academia, we are all connected, and we stand with you. If you need advice, networking opportunities, or just someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out us. For those in a position to help, let’s do what we can to support our colleagues, whether it be sharing job leads, offering recommendations, or simply reminding them that their work matters. To everyone at NOAA, past and present, thank you for everything you’ve done. Your work has made a real difference—saving lives, advancing science, and helping people understand the world around them. You should be proud of your accomplishments and we recognize all of the hard work you do to make our nation and our world a safer place. We value your work, and we in CliMAS are here with you as you take the next steps forward. With respect and support, Stephen W. Nesbitt Professor and Head

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.”

Is equivalent to asking

“Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.”
