AGU and AMS join forces on special collection to maintain momentum of research supporting the U.S. National Climate assessment

Congressionally mandated, the NCA draws on the latest scientific research to evaluate how climate change is affecting the United States. The new special collection does not replace the NCA but instead creates a mechanism for this important work to continue.

"The scope of the #NCA6 is currently being reevaluated," and "We are now releasing all current assessment participants from their roles."
The assessment is required by #Congress, but administration is not noted for caring.

"At this time, the scope of the #NCA6 is being evaluated in accordance with the Global Change Research Act of 1990," the email said, referring to the #legislation that kickstarted the assessments signed by #Republican President George H.W. Bush.

The #climate assessment had been overseen by the Global Change Research Program, which the #Trump admin dismissed earlier this month, & had coordinated input from 14 #FederalAgencies & hundreds of external scientists.
