Trump wants to control God

In 1807 the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was established under Thomas Jefferson to provide nautical charts to the maritime community. The weather bureau was established in 1870, and one year later the U.S. Commission of Fish and Fisheries was founded. These agencies were the first physical sciences dedicated specifically to atmospheric sciences. In 1970 these three agencies were combined to form what we have today as NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). NOAA is under the Department of Commerce. It is tasked with daily weather forecasts, severe weather warnings and climate monitoring. It is parent to the National Weather Service.
