Trump's recent election has not only affected the political world, but the environmental world as well. Trump plans the cut the budget of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), one of the government's top weather and climate-science agencies, according to a report by The Washington Post. This would affect research funding and satellite programs. This would drastically hurt the research that has already been conducted and the research that was future planned to be pursued. Trump proposes a cut of $126 million (26 percent of its current budget) to its research division and $513 million (22 percent of current funding) to its satellite program, called the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service.
To me, this is crazy. Trump ha some good ideas, but this was obviously not one. It is annoying an frustrating to read stuff like this because it is obvious how much it is going to affect us, but it makes me wonder how much longer we have until we will start seeing the results. It sparks fear in a lot of people's lives, not just mine. I hope someone can stop Trump from doing something extremely destructive to the Earth, because it is so precious and not replaceable.
