Episode Details

Host: Peter Neill Producer: Trisha Badger ABOUT THIS EPISODE Science is one of the best tools available to humanity for understanding the complexities of the unknown and of life on earth. NOAA (the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States) is arguably the most advanced utility for the investigation of natural systems, yet a new 2026 budget has been presented with cuts to NOAA exceeding 1.6 billion US dollars: an administration that has provided research and information to inform our understanding of weather, changing systems and impacts, emergency response, forecasting, air and water circulation, temperature change, and so much more.
