‘Goal is destruction’: Fired Calif. NOAA scientists warn of dire global consequences ‘Still in shock, still grieving’

“Blanket terminations performed without regard for the positions being eliminated — for example, I was notified that I was terminated from the position of ‘NOAA Federal Employee’ — make it clear the goal is destruction, not efficiency.”

Whether it’s the weather updates people get on their apps, the issuing of storm warnings, the protection of plant and animal life, or completing predictive modeling for multibillion-dollar industries, the financial impacts and threat to life on this planet are “beyond consequential” with every firing, Koller said.
