"Workers and scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) warn that drastic funding cuts threaten decades of vital research and natural resource protection."
"The destructive path taken under the Trump administration risks leaving the US with unbreathable air and undrinkable water."
The Trump administration has imposed significant cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), jeopardizing essential scientific research and natural resource protection. Workers express concerns over ongoing environmental issues, such as harmful algal blooms and collapsing fisheries, which are exacerbated by reduced staffing and the proposed abolition of the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research office. Longtime NOAA scientists describe a demoralizing workplace that hinders progress in combating these environmental threats. Without necessary data collections, including global temperature records, the future of research and disaster preparedness appears bleak, highlighting the potential for impaired air and water quality in the US.
