U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced plans to review and possibly alter National Climate Assessments, which are crucial reports on climate change. Previously published assessments have been removed from government websites for this review. Wright criticized past reports for alleged political bias and expressed intent to ensure that future assessments present fair evaluations of climate data. The administration's actions include the dismissal of over 400 scientists who were developing the sixth National Climate Assessment, indicating a significant shift in how climate science is approached under the Trump administration.
Secretary Chris Wright stated that the Trump administration is reviewing previously published National Climate Assessments and may update them to fix objections in the data.
Wright accused past reports of political bias and expressed a desire to ensure fair assessments of climate data moving forward.
The National Climate Assessments, prepared by volunteer scientists, provide detailed insights on climate change effects and are subject to peer review.
The dismissal of over 400 scientists working on the sixth National Climate Assessment illustrates the administration's commitment to diminish the significance of climate science.
