Trump's NOAA Cuts Raise El Niño Forecasting Risks
Original: Trump's NOAA cuts raise El Niño risks
Cuts to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Trump administration are raising concerns about the country's ability to monitor and forecast El Niño events. Scientists and weather experts warn that reduced funding and staffing could weaken climate observation systems, leaving communities less prepared for the droughts, floods and heatwaves El Niño brings worldwide.
Why now: Concern is growing that defunding NOAA will weaken early warnings for a major global climate pattern.
