Tell Trump that Gutting NOAA is Unacceptable

The results of the election could radically stall progress in addressing climate change. As climate activists, we need to establish immediately that dismantling critical government agencies is not acceptable.

Sign the petition to tell Donald Trump that dismantling  the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has to be off the table.

If we are to avert climate chaos, we have to protect NOAA and its team of dedicated scientists who play a critical role in safeguarding our nation against climate-related disasters. Recent news reports have made clear that agencies like NOAA and the EPA could be at risk in his administration.
NOAA’s scientists provide essential insights into the climate trends that influence our weather, oceans, and ecosystems. Their work is indispensable to understanding and mitigating climate risks that impact every American.

For decades, NOAA has been the backbone of research that supports vital weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and disaster response. From tracking hurricanes and wildfires to predicting droughts and severe storms, NOAA's research equips communities with early warnings that save lives, protect property, and bolster local economies.

In a time when climate-related challenges are escalating, reducing NOAA’s capacity to carry out its mission would endanger American lives and communities. Across the country, people rely on NOAA’s trusted science to prepare for and respond to extreme weather. Without NOAA's skilled scientists, emergency planning and preparedness efforts would be hindered, increasing the human and economic costs of natural disasters.

NOAA’s research also fuels innovations that strengthen America’s infrastructure resilience and agricultural planning. As a globally respected agency, it enables partnerships that allow the U.S. to be the world leader on climate science. The next Trump administration must maintain that status.
Putting politics over science could jeopardize all of us. 

Please sign the petition to tell Donald Trump to protect NOAA’s funding, preserve its scientific workforce, and support its mission to keep the public safe.
