The Trump administration has dismissed nearly 400 scientists involved in the National Climate Assessment, a congressionally mandated report on climate change. This move has raised alarms among climate watchers and environmental experts who are concerned about the future of climate science in the US. The dismissal of all authors has thrown the assessment into uncertainty, jeopardizing crucial evaluations regarding climate crisis preparedness. Critics argue that this decision reflects a troubling trend of undermining scientific research and environmental commitments, which could leave Americans less safe and hinder future efforts to address climate change.
