Dismantling or defunding NOAA would be a catastrophic error given the rising costs and vulnerabilities associated with extreme weather in the changing climate.
Project 2025 claims erroneously that NOAA is a main driver of the climate change alarm industry and advocates for its breakdown and downsizing.
Despite the incoming administration's aim to cut the federal workforce, there's broad bipartisan support in Congress to invest in NOAA's future.
NOAA's mission to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts is vital for industries and communities vulnerable to extreme weather.
