For so long, fossil fuel projects have said their contribution to climate change is "negligible".
Turns out that's wrong.
Our research in NPJ Climate Action proves it.
Every tonne of CO2 matters.

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

It's even worse than removing the grant funding for university research (in groups like mine at UC Irvine). NOAA labs and cooperative institutes collect the climate data we use, develop the predictive weather and climate models, and train the students we hire.

This demolishes U.S. climate research.
The proposed budget would “eliminate all funding for climate, weather, and ocean Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes.”

Much of the current federal research funding goes to grants for university funding at cooperative institutions, including nine campuses in California, including many UCs.
