Trump administration sacks all authors of lead climate report

Washington, Apr 29 (UNI) US President Donald Trump's administration has sacked all scientists and other authors working on the next authoritative look at how climate change is affecting the United States.
The move will allow the administration to either skip the congressionally mandated report altogether, or pursue an alternative, potentially far more sceptical take on what is otherwise widely accepted climate science, CNN reported.

The last National Climate Assessment in 2023 found that climate change is already transforming every region of theUS, with more frequent and intense extreme weather events and a slew of other costly and harmful effects.
During the first Trump administration, the Fourth Assessment came out after being worked on mainly under the Obama White House. Trump officials sought to deep-six the findings by publishing it the day after Thanksgiving.
Congress mandated these reports — conducted by a mix of federal and outside scientists under the US Global Change Research Program — be produced every four years. The next is due by 2027. UNI SSP
