Trump cuts to climate science leave US vulnerable
Original: Trump cuts to climate science leave us all vulnerable
The Trump administration's cuts to climate science programmes are drawing criticism, with commentators arguing that reducing funding for weather monitoring, research and forecasting leaves the public exposed to worsening storms, heatwaves and other climate-driven disasters. Critics say the reductions weaken early-warning systems and data collection that communities rely on, warning that the consequences will be felt across the country regardless of politics.
Why now: New funding cuts to federal climate research and monitoring have raised alarm about public safety and disaster preparedness.
