NOAA to lay off another 1,000 jobs, threatening weather forecasts and disaster response
Briefly

The Trump administration is initiating job cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), targeting 10% of its workforce. Approximately 1,029 positions will be eliminated, a significant reduction following prior cuts since Trump took office. The agency plays a vital role in monitoring weather-related threats, climate change, and fisheries management, but these cuts could undermine its effectiveness. Critics, including former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, warn that such reductions could lead to a loss of critical capabilities essential for disaster response and environmental management.
The Trump administration is starting another round of job cuts - this one more than 1,000 - at the nation's weather, ocean and fisheries agency.
This is not government efficiency; it is the first steps toward eradication. There is no way to make these kinds of cuts without losing critical capabilities.
