The Trump administration on Tuesday proposed pulling all funding for climate research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), along with research at its weather laboratories.
A budget document reported by The Hill recommends pulling funding for multiple areas like NOAA’s weather research program, its tornado and severe storm research centers, and shutting down weather and climate laboratories.
The document comes after the Trump administration indicated that it wanted to actually eliminate NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, where a lot of climate and weather research is conducted. The Trump administration has also slammed scientists for warning about the dangers and potential threats of climate change.
The budget document, which suggests reducing the agency’s full-time staff by 2,061 people, is only a proposal and all final funding decisions are made by Congress.
