Project 2025 is the Heritage Foundation’s policy blueprint for a Republican administration.

It describes NOAA as a primary component “of the climate change alarm industry” and said it “should be broken up and downsized” The document would not call for the National Weather Service to be dismantled.

It says the agency should focus on its data-gathering services and “fully commercialize its forecasting operations”.

A 2005 bill would have eliminated the free dissemination of weather information provided by the National Weather Service .

The bill drew no co-sponsors and foundered, Fugate said.

Project 2025 doesn't call for the elimination of the NWS , but it places restrictions on research, climate products.
