Trump Administration Cuts Climate Research Funding at Princeton
Tap title to read story
The Trump administration slashed nearly $4 million in federal funding for climate change research at Princeton University. The Commerce Department, citing "exaggerated climate threats" and increased "climate anxiety," cut programs studying sea-level rise and coastal flooding. This follows similar funding pauses at other universities by agencies like NASA and the Energy Department. The cuts represent a broader effort by the administration to reduce climate research funding, despite NOAA's current $220 million annual climate research budget.
