Scientific societies “Save” climate evaluation after the rejection of Trump Team | USA
Common scientific societies have cooperated in the United States to try to “save” the work that has been done so far for the national evaluation of climate (NCA), a depth report on the consequences Climate Which was suspended by the Donald Trump administration. The goal of the American Federation of Geophysics and the American Meteorological Association is not to replace the report, but to allow data analysis and collect it with follow -up.
On Friday, the two organizers asked to send information so that it was possible to collect studies that, if this was not for the political obstacle created by Trump, had allowed clarification The sixth national climate evaluation. The idea is to produce about 30 specialized magazines that cover different climatic aspects such as notes, expectations, effects, risks, or solutions.
“This cooperation provides an essential way for a wide range of researchers and providing the necessary science to support the world contract, which is the demand for climate change solutions,” the geophysic said. Brandon JonesThe President of the American Federation of Geophysics (AGU), was transferred by Reuters.
This joint effort comes a few days after the Trump administration to reject Nearly 400 authors and employees working on the sixth NCA, the main study of the American climate change. This collective chapter makes it impossible to conclude the report, which was scheduled to be published in 2028.
“Our economy, our health, and our society all depend on the climate. Although we cannot replace the national climate evaluation, we consider that it is necessary to support and help expand this scientific effort to cooperate for the benefit of the United States and the global public,” said David Starsrood, President of the American Meteorological Association, quoted from British notes. Guardian.
Decisions and political companies
It has been published every four or five years since 2000, and the national climate evaluation of the scientific contributions offered by 14 federal agencies and hundreds of external scientists. The idea is to intensify one document currently in the field of climate science, with the aim of communicating this information clearly to political and commercial decision makers.
“It is up to us to ensure that our societies, neighbors, children are protected and equipped with the increasing risks of climate change,” added AGU, an independent organization that brings together nearly 50,000 colleagues from about 140 countries.
British newspaper Guardian It is reported that the report was supervised by the Global Change Research Program, with the support of the US Space Agency (NASA). The team of this program was also rejected by the Trump administration last month.
The last national climate assessment, which was published in 2023, had the world of Catherine Hayho as participating authors. For a climate teacher at the University of Texas, the cooperation of the two scientific societies is “evidence of the importance of summarizing and providing the latest scientific data.”
“People do not realize how climate change affects the decisions they make today, whether choosing the size of the rainfall tubes that they install, whether it is the expansion of the flood where people build homes,”
President Donald Trump is known for him Climate denial And for her enthusiasm to exploit Fossil fuelAnd that burns at the origin of the climate crisis that humanity faces today. Since the Republic Return To the White House, there was a series of demobilization of workers in the federal agencies related to the environment, education and diversity.
Since early 2025, data on extremist climate change or phenomena has been removed from the official pages of the American administration.
