As the Guardian’s Hugo Lowell reports, “The president briefly considered firing Waltz over the episode, but reportedly
decided he was unwilling to give the news media the satisfaction

"Numerous Democratic-led states have in recent years filed similar lawsuits against companies including Exxon Mobil , Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Shell and BP accusing them of
deceiving the public about the role fossil fuels have played in causing climate change. The companies deny wrongdoing.
The Justice Department in the lawsuit cites an executive order Trump signed on his first day back in office on 20 January declaring a
national energy emergency to speed permitting of energy projects, rolling back environmental protections, and withdrawing the US from an international pact to fight climate change. "
"The US supreme court in March rejected a bid by 19 Republican-led states,
led by Alabama, to block five Democratic-led states from pursuing such lawsuits.
The Republican-led states raised similar claims as the Justice Department’s case."

Noaa’s invaluable scientific enterprise has been built up over decades through investments by US taxpayers for the public’s benefit.
Local decision makers, communities, meteorologists, first responders, farmers, mariners, and businesses depend on Noaa’s crucial weather and climate data provided free of charge.
Congress must do its job: reclaim its constitutional power and limit the worst excesses of this
increasingly authoritarian, anti-science and destructive administration."
