Last Monday, Rachel Cleetus expressed deep disappointment upon learning that she and nearly 400 contributors were dismissed from the National Climate Assessment (NCA6). This change follows previous cuts to funding for the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Cleetus believes these decisions threaten the integrity and comprehensiveness of a critical report on climate impact in the U.S., due for publication in 2028, and suggests there's a risk the administration may attempt to suppress scientific findings in favor of alternative narratives.
The dismissal of nearly 400 contributors to the sixth National Climate Assessment, along with funding cuts for climate science programs, raises serious concerns about US climate policy.
Cleetus warns that the disbanding of authors puts the NCA6 report, vital for understanding climate impact in the US, at serious risk for the future.
