NASA's GISS Shuts Down Under Trump Administration's Budget Ax
In a controversial move, NASA's renowned Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is shutting its doors due to budget cuts driven by a Trump administration executive order. Known for its pivotal climate research since 1966, GISS's closure draws concerns from scientists and the public alike, highlighting broader implications for climate science and the emotional toll on researchers. With drastic cuts to climate and Earth science budgets and an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season looming, critics fear this could hinder efforts to understand global climate patterns.
