The administration's proposed budget cuts to weather prediction and climate science research are extremely concerning. These programs save lives by improving forecasts for severe storms, floods, and other extreme weather events. Without adequate funding, our ability to predict and prepare for natural disasters will be severely hampered. The recent tragic loss of life from flash flooding in Texas demonstrates the critical importance of robust weather forecasting capabilities. To slash funding for agencies like NOAA, NASA, NSF, EPA, and others is a reckless decision that puts American lives and communities at risk. These short-sighted cuts undermine decades of scientific progress and leadership in meteorology and climate research. The economic impacts from impaired prediction abilities will also be immense across sectors like agriculture, energy, infrastructure planning, and emergency preparedness. I urge you to fight for full funding to be restored for federal weather and climate research programs. Protecting public safety and national preparedness should be a core priority. The consequences of these budget cuts are unacceptable and will have devastating real-world impacts if allowed to proceed. We cannot afford to let political ideology supersede scientific facts and undermine our ability to forecast and mitigate natural disasters. Please take a stand for the well-being of all Americans.
