Looking at what is happening to NOAA it's a right wing reaction to climate science: because climate and weather are sister topics, they go after the agency on one political agenda, (climate) and the other side of the coin (weather) suffers. And, most of the opposition from communities like farming comes from the strong suspicion of being "told what to do" about climate and land management.
It's a horrendous impedence mismatch. I did debate not directly putting right-wing into this, but my personal experience of speaking to people in the farming sector who are sharing hate on the BoM is that it's driven in right wing political agenda about "big government" and "world government" and "my tax dollars"
