NOAA set to fire 1,029 more employees

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration plans to cut 1,029 employees, which adds to previous job losses under the Trump administration, representing a 25% reduction in workforce since then.
Craig McLean, former NOAA chief scientist, warned that staffing losses could reach 20%, significantly impacting the agency's ability to provide weather forecasts and public safety services.
Rick Spinrad, former NOAA Administrator, stated that these cuts will compromise mission capabilities and warned it is not government efficiency.
NOAA's spokesperson, Monica Allen, mentioned that the agency will continue to provide weather information and forecasts, despite the significant staff reduction.
