After Climate Activism Scandal, 25 State AGs Push Feds To Suspend Grants To National Science Org
‘Organizations that abuse taxpayer money to prop up political causes for the benefit of donors should not receive federal agency grants.’
A coalition of more than two dozen state attorneys general is asking the Trump administration and Congress to suspend federal grants to a national science organization for its ongoing left-wing climate activism.
In a Thursday letter to several Trump cabinet secretaries and congressional committees, the 25 Republican AGs raised concerns about recent actions by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The academies — which receive taxpayer-funded federal grants —have sought to advance leftist policies in recent years, as the Capital Research Center reported.
One avenue of activism highlighted by the state AGs is the NASEM’s role in the controversial fourth edition of the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, which the nonprofit produced alongside the taxpayer-funded Federal Judicial Center (FJC). While designed to provide objective guidance to federal judges on science-related matters before the bench, the manual was found to contain a “Reference Guide on Climate Science” stacked with references and citations to left-wing climate activists and advocates.
