"US President Donald Trump is an avowed climate science skeptic who during his
second term has followed through on promises to slash funding for renewable
energies like wind, and to promote oil and gas.
But the administration has also gutted agencies that produce climate
information used by millions of Americans. In February, only weeks after taking
office, around 800 people were dismissed from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which monitors ocean and climate conditions
and issues weather forecasts and warnings via its National Weather Service.
The firings also impacted the agency's climate.gov website, the premier
platform for climate information in the US that informs readers about extreme
weather, sea level and temperature rise, and much else. It had around 15
million page views in 2024, noted the
AFP news agency."
