White House dismisses authors of major climate report

"Climate change remains a hot topic in Washington as the Trump Administration reportedly dismissed key authors of its flagship National Climate Assessment, potentially limiting access to critical scientific information and data on U.S. responses to global warming. The report, crucial for local governments, farmers, and educators, saw over 400 contributors—including scientists and climate experts—dismissed after they received termination emails, with no explanation provided by the Administration. This decision could delay or alter the report’s scope, raising concerns under outgoing President Trump, who has opposed major changes to the National Climate Assessment process."
