The Trump administration just dismissed all 400 experts working on America’s official climate report

The Trump administration’s recent decision to dismiss over 400 volunteer scientists and experts working on the next National Climate Assessment has thrown the future of the report into uncertainty. The National Climate Assessment, which has been published every four years for the past 25 years, provides crucial information on how climate change is impacting the country and helps various stakeholders prepare for the future.

The move to release the scientists and experts from their roles is part of a broader trend within the administration to scale back efforts related to climate change. Earlier this month, funding for the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the office responsible for producing the report, was canceled. This has raised concerns among experts about the administration’s commitment to addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

Rachel Cleetus, a senior policy director at the Union of Concerned Scientists and one of the authors dismissed from the assessment, expressed disappointment at the decision. She highlighted the importance of actionable science in helping communities prepare for and adapt to climate change impacts.

The National Climate Assessment is mandated by the Global Change Research Act of 1990 and is meant to provide the latest scientific information on climate and environmental trends. The report covers a wide range of topics, including how climate change might affect agriculture, energy production, human health, and more for the next 25 to 100 years.

The future of the National Climate Assessment remains unclear. While legally only Congress can scrap the report altogether, experts fear that the administration may publish a scaled-back version or use it to spread misinformation about climate change. The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a list of policy recommendations that the administration seems to be following, suggests a potential scaling back of the assessment.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the National Climate Assessment, there is hope that experts involved in the report may continue their work independently. This was the case with the National Nature Assessment, which was canceled by the administration earlier this year. The authors of that report decided to publish their results independently, showing that there are avenues for continuing important climate research even without federal support.

In the meantime, there are international and state-level climate reports that could help fill the gaps left by a scaled-back or canceled National Climate Assessment. While the future of the assessment remains uncertain, experts and stakeholders are hopeful that efforts to address climate change will continue in some form. The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) plays a crucial role in synthesizing climate science on a global level every few years. This comprehensive assessment provides valuable insights into the state of our planet’s climate and the impacts of human activities on it. However, the recent decision by the Trump administration to block federal scientists from participating in the latest IPCC meeting is a significant setback for climate research and action.

The IPCC’s assessments are a key resource for policymakers, scientists, and communities around the world. They provide a comprehensive overview of the latest scientific findings on climate change, including projections for future impacts and recommendations for mitigation and adaptation strategies. By excluding federal scientists from participating in this important process, the Trump administration is depriving American communities of vital information and tools to address the challenges of climate change.

Dr. Sarah White, a climate scientist who was blocked from attending the IPCC meeting, expressed her disappointment and frustration at the decision. She highlighted the impact that this exclusion will have on American communities, who rely on the knowledge and tools developed through the IPCC assessments. Without the input of federal scientists, the U.S. risks falling behind in understanding and addressing the urgent threats posed by climate change.

The IPCC’s assessments are based on the work of thousands of scientists from around the world, who volunteer their time and expertise to contribute to this important endeavor. By blocking federal scientists from participating, the Trump administration is undermining the collaborative and international nature of climate science. This move not only hampers the progress of climate research but also jeopardizes the ability of the U.S. to effectively respond to the climate crisis.

In light of these developments, it is more important than ever for the global community to come together to address the challenges of climate change. The IPCC’s assessments serve as a critical foundation for informed decision-making and action on climate issues. It is essential that all countries, including the U.S., prioritize the participation of their scientists in this important process to ensure a sustainable and resilient future for all.
