前政府官员和科学家警告称，唐纳德·特朗普对美国政府首要气候机构的全面削减已严重削弱该国预测、研究和应对极端天气事件的能力，而美国今年冬天正面临可能具有历史意义的厄尔尼诺现象所引发的一连串危害。
President has taken an axe to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, stalling climate research on and response to extreme weather events Sweeping cuts to the premier US climate agency under Donald Trump have severely hampered the country’s capacity to forecast, research and respond to extreme weather events, former government officials and scientists have warned, as the US faces a cascade of hazards fueled by a potentially historic El Niño this winter.
自第二个任期开始以来，总统就将矛头对准了美国国家海洋和大气管理局（Noaa），大幅削减人员编制，取消合同和拨款，并关闭数据库和研究实验室。自2025年1月以来，这个长期以来被视为全球气候科学和预报领域皇冠明珠的机构已流失约20%的员工。
From the start of his second term, the president has taken aim at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), slashing staff levels, canceling contracts and grants, and shutting down databases and research laboratories. The agency that has long been considered a global crown jewel in climate science and forecasting, has lost roughly 20% of its staff since January 2025.
