The call to dismantle the United States' vital weather department has raised the hackles of experts who say NOAA provides not only important free data but also life-saving information.
Among its many sweeping calls for change in American government, a conservative platform document known as Project 2025 urges the demolition of some of the nation's most dependable resources for tracking weather, combating climate change and protecting the public from environmental hazards. 'Break up NOAA,' the document says, referring to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its six main offices, including the 154-year-old National Weather Service.
In recent weeks, Trump has distanced himself from the plan — stating on social media that he knows nothing about Project 2025 and that he has 'no idea who is behind it.'
