Trump administration pushes ahead with NOAA climate and weather cuts.

The article focuses on the significant budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), particularly affecting its research arm. The administration plans to reduce NOAA's research spending by nearly $100 million, which is 14% less than what Congress mandated for the current fiscal year. These cuts are seen as part of a broader strategy to eliminate NOAA's research capabilities by 2026, with particular reductions in climate research funding, which is set to drop by 25%. The article highlights the implications of these budgetary decisions on NOAA's various divisions, including the National Ocean Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service, and raises concerns about the future of climate and weather research under these constraints.
