Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) has reportedly infiltrated the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the agency that collects and shares vital weather and climate information.

Sources have told The Verge they’re worried about drastic changes that could impact the public’s access to weather forecasts, jeopardize cybersecurity, and gut employee morale.

NOAA employees got a rush of spam mail in their inboxes that included advertising for denim jeans and Scientology Today .

The spam emails were reportedly deleted from staff inboxes by someone within NOAA about an hour after they were sent.

NOAA has been in the crosshairs of the Trump administration’s efforts to downplay the consequences of climate change.
