2 groups plan to publish climate research after Trump dismisses scientists
Read Original Source
After the Trump administration dismissed nearly 400 scientists who compile the nation's major quadrennial report on the impacts of climate change in the U.S., two scientific groups announced a plan to publish a special collection focused on the subject to ensure the scientists' work can be accessed.
AI Summary
Main Idea: After the Trump administration dismissed hundreds of climate scientists, the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society plan to publish a new climate research collection to keep the work available.
Key Points:
- The new collection will focus on climate change in the United States and is meant to complement, not replace, the National Climate Assessment.
- The National Climate Assessment is a congressionally mandated report that helps governments and businesses prepare for climate impacts.
- The two groups say they will invite scientists to submit original research and review papers, including researchers removed from the federal assessment process.
- The collection will be peer reviewed and may take months or even years to complete.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Fewer federal scientists in the climate assessment could leave households, cities, and small businesses with less reliable guidance for storms, heat, and other risks.
Positive Impact
The AGU and AMS research collection may keep climate findings public, helping voters and officials make better plans if the federal report is delayed or cut back.
