Trump admin orders government agency to stop predicting long-term climate change impacts
The Trump administration has told a major US government department to end predicting what the long-term effects of climate change will be on the country.
The order is likely to impact the US government’s National Climate Assessment, an interagency report produced every four years which outlines the projected impact of climate change in every corner of US society. The move is just the latest in a concerted attempt by the Trump White House to undermine climate science and challenge attempts to address runaway warming, which is posing an existential threat to much of life on Earth.
