National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration

The climate assessment process has been dealt a significant blow as key contributors are being released from their roles ahead of the next report. Experts like Tulane University professor Jesse Keenan have expressed frustration, with one stating that the move could "as close as it gets to a termination" of the assessment. The White House remains silent on the matter, leaving uncertainty about future steps. Recent changes under the Trump administration, including NASA canceling a critical contract, have further complicated the program's trajectory.
