US EditionTrump cuts to NOAA, NASA ‘blinding’ farmers to risks, scientists warn
- Cuts proposed by the Trump administration to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration threaten weather forecasting, crucial for agriculture, according to a study published in Nature.
- The study suggests wealthy regions may lose 41% of crop yields by 2100 due to climate change effects, while poorer areas could see a 28% decline.
- Professor Jonathan Martin warned that the proposed cuts will cause forecasting to be 'like losing your eyesight,' impacting U.S. food supply safety as weather becomes more volatile.
- Research indicates that farmers are left without vital information needed for planting and adapting, putting the future of crops like corn and soy at significant risk.

WSPATrump cuts to NOAA, NASA 'blinding' farmers to risks, scientists warn
The Trump administration's cuts to climate research and federal weather forecasting agencies are "blinding" the U.S. to oncoming threats to its food supply — and kneecapping efforts to protect it. As Congress debates its own research and forecasting cuts, a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature suggests that fossil fuel-driven climate change poses an existential threat to key parts of the American food supply. Heat waves and drought dr…
