## Scientific societies say they’ll step up after Trump puts key climate report in doubt

Authored by apnews.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two major scientific societies on Friday said they will try to fill the void from the Trump administration’s dismissal of scientists writing a cornerstone federal report on what climate change is doing to the United States.

Earlier this week, Trump’s Republican administration told about 400 scientists working on the National Climate Assessment that they were no longer needed and that the report was being reevaluated.

That report, coming once every four to five years, is required by a 1990 federal law and was due out around 2027.

Preliminary budget documents show slashing funding or eliminating offices involved in coordinating that report, scientists and activists said.

“We are filling in a gap in the scientific process,” AGU President Brandon Jones said.

Watering down or killing the national assessment will not keep the message about the importance of climate change from getting out, Wuebbles said.
