Trump Administration Dismisses Scientists Writing National Climate Assessment

HeadlineApr 29, 2025

The Trump administration has dismissed some 400 researchers involved in putting together the National Climate Assessment. The flagship governmental report is designed to help local and federal authorities respond to the evolving climate crisis and is published every few years by congressional mandate. The sixth edition of the assessment was scheduled to be released in 2028, though its publication is now in question.

In related news, federal cuts ordered by Elon Musk’s DOGE operation have canceled AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps, which places over 2,000 young people in community nonprofits or in disaster recovery roles.
