Trump Cuts Would Paralyze U.S. Climate Research

By Douglas McIntyre  •  April 14, 2025

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on President Trump’s proposal to drastically cut funding for NOAA’s Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research Office, reducing its $485 million budget by 75%. This office is a cornerstone of U.S. climate research and global collaboration, especially in integrating artificial intelligence for weather forecasting. McIntyre warns that if the operation is eliminated, it will severely damage America’s climate research capabilities for decades to come.
