The True Cost of Trump's Cuts to NOAA and NASA

The article from MSN discusses the significant budget cuts proposed by former President Donald Trump to NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and NASA, which were part of his broader initiative to reduce federal spending. These cuts, if implemented, would have drastically reduced funding for climate research, weather forecasting, and space exploration. Specifically, NOAA faced a proposed reduction of about 26% in its budget, which would have impacted its ability to monitor climate change, provide weather services, and conduct marine research. Similarly, NASA's budget was targeted for cuts, particularly in areas like Earth science, which studies climate change, and in programs aimed at understanding our planet's environment. Critics argue that these reductions would have compromised America's scientific leadership, weakened its response to climate change, and potentially endangered public safety by diminishing the accuracy of weather predictions. The article highlights the long-term implications of such cuts, suggesting they would have set back scientific progress and environmental protection efforts significantly.
