(In the United States)Gutting NOAA: Trump's Administration Plans to End Climate Research Support.

 

NOAA is trending in The US as a result of reports revealing that the Trump administration will soon eliminate the research arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).

The probable shutdown of targeted arms of NOAA extends to the closure of weather and climate labs alongside several other offices, according to a proposal from the Office of Management and Budget.

With an estimated workforce of 12,000 civilians, the elimination of NOAA'S research arm is expected to lead to a layoff of 20% of the agency's staff.
