A Closer Look At Trump's Budget
Trump and whoever helped him come up with his budget proposal are morons. They are boosting military spending while making deep cuts to other vital agencies and programs. For example a 17% cut to the NOAA’s overall budget. With the deepest cuts coming from earth observation. The NOAA studies the atmosphere and oceans, often using satellites, to better understand climate and weather. Under Trump’s draft budget plan the NOAA’s satellite program would be cut by more than a half billion dollars. This is a real problem because since the NOAA uses these satellites to study weather patterns and build prediction models. But of course in Trump’s mind monitoring weather patterns is just furthering the climate change hoax.
