The Trump administration is proposing drastic funding cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that will put vital weather forecasting and climate research at risk.
NOAA's research work powers early warning systems for hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, protecting millions of Americans. The agency's data also informs international weather forecasts, climate modeling, and disaster response. Slashing NOAA's budget could put lives in danger.
This is yet another example of the science we need to save the planet coming under attack. And at WePlanet, we're here to defend it.
Join us today by signing our petition to the Department of Commerce, which oversees NOAA, urging them to reverse course on planned cuts at NOAA.
