Trump’s National Climate Assessment: No funding and all authors cut loose https://arstechni.ca/YjLE9 #trumpadministration #climateassessment #climatechange #Science #Policy #law

New interview with the New York Times on the cuts threatening the Congressionally-mandated Sixth National Climate Assessment, where I am an author of the Southwest chapter. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/climate/trump-national-climate-assessment.html #climatechange #climateassessment #nca #usgcrp

As a co-author of the NCA6 Southwest Chapter, this is devastating news: "The Trump administration is canceling funding for the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the entity that produces the federal government’s signature climate change study." https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/09/trump-moves-to-hobble-major-climate-study-00280405 #climateassessment

Just got off a fantastic briefing on the Fifth National Climate Assessment. Incredible work by everyone involved. And I look forward to “borrowing” your best practices for the California Assessment.
