The agency that leads most of the government’s work on ocean and coastal health as well as climate research is one among those being targeted by Trump.

NOAA, the agency best known for collecting and analyzing data that make weather forecasts and warnings possible, leads most of the government's work on ocean and and coastal health, as well as climate change research.

The terminations come days before a potential severe weather outbreak in the southeastern U.S. — and just months ahead of the next Atlantic hurricane season.

More federal workers were fired in Alaska yesterday, including at least four people from NOAA’s regional office in Juneau.

Scientists warn that the Trump administration's abrupt firing of hundreds of weather forecasters and climate experts at NOAA will curtail important climate research and result in preventable deaths during extreme weather events and related disasters.
