The Trump administration has effectively censored climate change discourse by revoking research grants that mention the topic. An environmental scientist detailed how their grant was rescinded unless they altered the title to omit 'climate.' This reflects a broader trend under the administration to prioritize fossil fuel interests while dismissing climate initiatives as 'woke.' Such actions symbolize a disregard for the escalating climate crisis, reminiscent of the satirical film "Don't Look Up" regarding the political response to an impending disaster.
"I still have the grant because I changed the title. I was told that I needed to do so before the title of the grant was published on the US DoT website in order to keep it."
"The explanation was that the priorities of the current administration don't include climate change and other topics considered 'woke.'"
