The effort to break up [NOAA] is part of a strategy of hear no evil, see no evil: If you don’t report on climate change, then perhaps it doesn’t exist.

The same thing was done by Conservatives in the Spanish provinces that have just been ravaged by flooding. They dismantled government agencies responsible for monitoring the effects of climate change and provide aid to affected communities, which made it impossible to prepare and warn citizens, resulting in hundreds of deaths and enormous amount of destruction.
