Trump allies outline plan to dismantle NOAA's climate science work

Climate experts fear a potential second Trump term could lead to dismantling the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) climate science work, as outlined in a blueprint by conservative groups. The "Project 2025" document proposes eliminating NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, calling its climate research "alarmism." It also suggests privatising the National Weather Service's forecasting operations, despite concerns over public access and accuracy. Critics argue the plan disregards climate truth and scientific evidence, prioritising business interests over environmental protection and public safety. The proposal highlights the ongoing battle over climate policy between science and political ideologies. (The Guardian)
