📝 Summary

The administration of US President Donald Trump has fired 880 employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the federal agency for weather and climate research, said Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell.

NOAA employs 12,000 people, including 6,700 scientists, engineers and military professionals, who serve NOAA’s fleet of research vessels and aircraft. The layoffs jeopardize the U.S. ability to predict and respond to extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods and wildfires, putting the population at risk. The cuts also threaten maritime trade and put the 1.7 million jobs that depend on fisheries at risk, Cantwell said. NOAA provides services on which more than a third of U.S. GDP depends. However, on February 28, NOAA will lay off several hundred employees, concludes Bloomberg. NOAA has predicted an increase in fires in southern California in January. The wildfires began in California on January 7 and quickly spread across the state due to hot and windy weather. The fire destroyed almost 10 thousand buildings, the damage reached $ 250 billion. Trump said the Los Angeles fires were much worse than a hypothetical nuclear explosion.
