Internal documents reveal that Trump administration officials are pushing for the elimination of NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research office, significantly reducing its funding from $485 million to just over $170 million. This drastic budget cut would severely impact crucial scientific research, including early warning systems for natural disasters and educational programs geared towards climate awareness. The proposal aligns with previous cuts to other scientific agencies and reflects a significant pivot in federal priorities, emphasizing trade enforcement over climate-related science.
The Trump administration's proposal to eliminate NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research office threatens vital scientific research, cutting funding from $485 million to just over $170 million.
If approved, the budget cuts would hinder early warning systems for natural disasters and critical climate change research, particularly in the rapidly warming Arctic.
