Seems like a win-win, since some of the stuff that R-OK Bridenstine wanted to include is gone:

Original drafts of the Bill were highly controversial since they proposed shifting NOAA’s research funding from climate change to weather forecasting. Democrats strongly opposed this re-prioritization. The bi-partisan version which passed, that includes 20 co-sponsors, infuses resources into weather research without decreasing climate funding.
