Why many scientists fear a second Trump term toggle caption Gregory Bull/AP Joel Clement is a forest ecologist by training. Sponsor Message The Project 2025 authors describe the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — which includes the National Weather Service and offices that support fisheries and monitor air quality — as a "colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry," and they propose gutting it. If that happened, people in positions like the one Clement had — working on climate impacts in Alaska — could be fired en masse by a new Trump administration. Costa says he successfully found ways to describe his wildfire-related work to Trump administration officials in ways that minimized its connection to politically charged topics like climate change and air pollution regulation.
