'Their loss diminishes us all': Scientists emphasize how Trump's mass NOAA layoffs endanger the world

A person at a crowded protest holds a sign that says SAVE NOAA.

For decades, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been the beating heart of weather forecasts that keep our society safe.

Its employees regularly collect weather data that help scientists monitor daily forecasts, track hurricanes, support air traffic control, operate marine vessels, enhance wildfire relief efforts and, of course, keep the weather application on your mobile phone accurate. This information is also shared freely with nations worldwide, including those most vulnerable to climate disasters.
