Trump’s #NationalClimateAssessment: No funding and all authors cut loose
Two weeks after cutting funding for the organization that coordinates the report's production, Trump informed all authors working on it that their services are no longer needed.
"The scope of the #NCA6 is currently being reevaluated," and "We are now releasing all current assessment participants from their roles."
The assessment is required by #Congress, but administration is not noted for caring.

The #climate assessment had been overseen by the Global Change Research Program, which the #Trump admin dismissed earlier this month, & had coordinated input from 14 #FederalAgencies & hundreds of external scientists.
