Update. It turns out that the National Academies of Science (#NAS) did 𝗻𝗼𝘁 acquiesce in this #censorship of #climate science. In a short statement (March 11), it said that “The manual, including the chapter on climate science, will continue to be available on the Academy’s website.”

PS: Bravo to the NAS. Although it's not part of the govt, about 85% of its funding comes from govt agencies, making it highly vulnerable to retaliatory defunding. It's the first agency I've seen with that level of vulnerability flatly reject a Trumpist demand to censor research.

EDIT. I meant to make this a threaded reply to my earlier post on the same subject, before we knew the NAS decision. But I inadvertently made it a separate post. Here's the earlier post (Feb 11, 2026).

National Academies of Sciences says no to demands it remove climate info

State attorneys general won't get climate chapter removed from a legal manual.

@petersuber He'll try to send ice agents.
@petersuber politicians have never listened to to actual scientists since it ruins their corporate sponsors cognitive dissonance.
