Trump's Budget is out. For NOAA, it's exactly what the previous passback document showed.
Trump administration eliminations NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research in its ongoing fight against science and reality.

Dear NOAA: Thank You
To my fellow NOAA employees—especially those of you who are departing in 2025—thank you! When I look back on my childhood dream and see how much of it came true and even surpassed what I dreamed of—it brings tears to my eyes. I owe so much of it to you. Your initiative, exploration, and discovery. Thank you for your service and Godspeed wherever life takes you.

Please call your reps. This is way beyond any debate about action on climate - rather, this would blind our nation so that we don't even know or understand what is happening in our atmosphere and oceans.
