Stuart Levenbach, a former Trump administration official criticized for attempting to undermine previous National Climate Assessment reports, has returned to the White House, now serving as the associate director for natural resources, energy, science, and water at the Office of Management and Budget. His past interference with climate science, particularly in attempting to soften key language in reports, has raised concerns among scientists about the direction of upcoming climate assessments, particularly in the context of the current administration's policies on climate change.
Levenbach's return raises alarms among scientists concerned about the potential influence on vital climate assessments, echoing his past efforts to downplay climate risks.
Scientists criticized Levenbach's previous attempts to soften the National Climate Assessment's conclusions, which sought to portray climate threats in a less alarming light.
