The Trump administration's recent decision to dismiss hundreds of scientists and experts involved in the National Climate Assessment poses a significant threat to the future of this essential report. Required by Congress, the assessment has documented the effects of climate change on diverse sectors like human health, agriculture, and energy production since 2000. The abrupt re-evaluation of the report's scope and the release of all contributors signal a potential halt in efforts to prepare for climate-related challenges. Experts fear this could severely impede the progress needed for the upcoming report, planned for 2028.
The Trump administration has dismissed the hundreds of scientists and experts compiling the National Climate Assessment, jeopardizing the future of this crucial report.
This dismissal represents a fatal blow to the next climate assessment, potentially halting progress on understanding the effects of climate change in the U.S.
