By Lisa Friedman, Brad Plumer and Jack Healy, Dec. 17, 2025

Excerpt: "Mr. Trump routinely mocks #ClimateChange as a hoax and his administration has labeled virtually all efforts to study climate change, reduce the level of dangerous greenhouse gases in the atmosphere or protect communities from the impacts of #GlobalWarming as 'alarmism.'

The administration said the center had supported what it called frivolous and ideological issues, such as research on how to protect wind turbines from hurricanes and a project to incorporate Indigenous knowledge into studies of how climate change would affect #CoastalCommunities.
