US EditionScientific societies say they’ll step up after Trump puts key climate report in doubt
- Two leading scientific organizations announced plans to collaborate on producing peer-reviewed climate change reports after approximately 400 researchers were released from their roles in the National Climate Assessment earlier in May 2025.
- The Trump administration questioned a federally mandated National Climate Assessment, required by a 1990 law and due around 2027, leading to the scientists' dismissal and report reevaluation.
- These societies aim to fill a scientific gap by assessing current and future impacts of climate change on the U.S., projecting 25 and 100 years ahead to support decision-making.
- Climate scientist Donald Wuebbles expressed concern that any upcoming report might be scientifically grounded yet lack quality, but he emphasized that weakening the report will not prevent climate science from being communicated to the public.
- The societies' reports will provide valuable, science-based statements emphasizing that climate change affects all Americans beyond politics and informs current infrastructure and health decisions.
