Former NOAA chief Neil Jacobs told lawmakers Wednesday he would “probably do some things differently” in response to questions over the 2019 “Sharpiegate” scandal, pledging at his confirmation hearing not to sign off again on an inaccurate hurricane forecast under political pressure.

Jacobs, nominated to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, came under fire during his time as acting administrator when he oversaw the release of a statement backing President Donald Trump’s false claim that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama in 2019. The move contradicted local forecasters and later led to a finding that Jacobs had violated the agency’s scientific integrity policy.
