Really proud to be part of this author team on centering environmental justice in the National Climate Assessments. As one of the NCA 6 authors, it's a little bittersweet to have this out given the uncertain state of the NCA but regardless of how hard the regime tries, they can't erase the truth.

The Trump admin plans to gut climate research at NOAA & NASA, following #Project2025 agenda. Proposed cuts include NOAA’s Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Division, all 16 cooperative institutes, 10 labs, 6 climate centers, NASA’s Goddard Space Institute budget, and $70M in grants—plus mass firings.

Gutting NOAA doesn’t just hurt science—it hurts all of us. From weather forecasts to safe, sustainable seafood to coastal resilience, we rely on NOAA every day. Congress must act to protect NOAA. Read more from @UCSUSA: blog.ucs.org/rachel-cleet...

“What difference does it make if a biotech company promotes misunderstanding about the practical and implications of their technology,” you ask, having apparently not noticed how the Trump administration is using that misunderstanding to weaken actual endangered species conservation policy.

Dismantling the US Global Change Research Program is, alas, no surprise. USGCRP and the National Climate Assessment have long been on the radar for the Trumpists. But they don’t want to eliminate it. They want to use it for their own ends. [1/11] www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

ICF has supported the National Climate Assessment and the IPCC for nearly two decades with professionalism & integrity. Yesterday, ICF's contract to support NCA was cancelled. All federal staff details for OSTP + USGCRP were already returned to their agencies. There's no one left to work on NCA.

The rationale for this cancellation is climate denial. There is no dressing it up, there is no tiptoeing around it. Yet climate change doesn’t care if we believe it. It will destroy our homes, multiply insurance rates, wreak economic havoc and more — regardless of our opinions or voting record.

This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administration’s ‘climate’ purge.

I was a commercial fisherman in a past life and American fisheries exist because of regulation. Fishermen know that without regulation we don't have fish and we don't have fisheries. It's not just a nice thing - it's existential.

Today, EPA's Lee Zeldin announced rollbacks on key environmental regulations, including pollution limits for coal plants, climate rules & EV standards. He called it a “consequential" day of deregulation, but for those who care about clean air & water, it's one of the most destructive in US history.
