The Trump administration is proposing drastic budget cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), threatening vital climate research and weather forecasting operations. Experts warn that these cuts could regress scientific advancements to the 1950s.
In a controversial move, the Trump administration is set to lay off up to 800 employees at NOAA, raising concerns over the agency's ability to forecast extreme weather events as the climate crisis escalates.
