The Trump administration has initiated significant layoffs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), targeting over 800 employees out of 13,000, particularly probationary staff. This decision, perceived as harmful to climate science, has raised alarms about potential declines in the agency's capacity to contribute to human health, safety, and national security. The rush to terminate employees has sparked an urgent scramble among supervisors to assist in the transition for those affected. This move is seen not as an efficiency effort, but rather as a dangerous step that undermines the agency's valuable work.
The Trump administration's firings at NOAA could cost over 800 jobs and jeopardize climate science, impacting human health, safety, and national security.
This loss of talent at NOAA is going to set the agency back years and compromise the integrity of missions that support economic prosperity.
The firings are a move towards putting Americans in danger every day, rather than a step towards efficiency within the agency.
NOAA's layoffs focus on probationary employees, easily dismissed, impacting staff roles critical for climate science and public safety.
