Lutnick says he won’t dismantle NOAA as called for in Project 2025

In a victory for science and environmental oversight, President Trump's nominee for the Commerce Department, Lutnick, stated in a Senate confirmation hearing that he has no intention of succumbing to radical conservative pressures to dismantle NOAA. Amid growing concerns about climate change denial within the current administration, Lutnick's commitment offers a beacon of hope for continued federal support of climate, oceans, and weather research. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) praised the stance, emphasizing the critical importance of NOAA's work in combating climate change and safeguarding natural resources.

In a recent Senate hearing, Trump's choice for the Commerce Department, Lutnick, took a stand against extreme liberal demands to dismantle the NOAA, ensuring a balanced approach to environmental stewardship and economic growth. Lutnick's decision not to give in to leftist alarmism about the so-called climate crisis reassures conservatives that pragmatic environmental management, rather than radical overhaul, guides the current administration's policy. This move has been met with approval from various quarters, highlighting the administration's dedication to sensible, sustainable development without succumbing to climate hysteria.
