The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( Noaa ) is the US ’s pre-eminent climate research agency.

Experts and officials have warned that dismantling and defunding the agency will come with severe consequences that will only increase as the world heats.

The administration began laying the groundwork with key changes at the agency in recent weeks .

Project 2025 , a policy playbook authored by numerous former Trump officials, calls for breaking up and downsizing’ Noaa due to its work to increase understanding of the crisis.

Claiming the research is “harmful to future US prosperity”, the document’s authors insist Noaa should be disbanded.

Plans include appointing leadership that aligns with the administration to “prevent obstructionism”.
