Trump to Cut NOAA

April 15, 2025

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley covers a range of issues impacting global energy markets and geopolitics. It discusses the UN's new emissions tax on shipping, President Trump's administration potentially shutting down NOAA's climate research division, and ABC News misleadingly attributing tornado surges to climate change. It also highlights China halting critical exports in retaliation for trade wars and OPEC adjusting its oil demand forecast amid economic uncertainty. The discussion underscores the complex relationship between tariffs, oil production, and the evolving global energy landscape.
