As Trump Scrubs Climate Reports, NASA Breaks Its Promise to Save Them

Since the beginning of the office in January, the Trump management made great efforts to restrict the public about the public community to learn about climate change. After the president’s early this month, NASA promised to broadcast on its website after the presence of the official government site receiving national climate assessments.

On Monday, July 14, NASA Press Secretary Bethany Stevens tell Associated Press, NASA will not accept any information from GlobalChange.gov using the official website for the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). This is a management program publish National climate assessments within the 1990s all four years, which give the powers of the Global Change Research Law. These reports provide prestigious scientific information on the risks of climate change in the United States and the US website in the United States found the dark In early July, the White House and NASA, the AP’s report said that the cosmic agency will broadcast on the reporting website to comply with the 1990 laws. Apparently, this is no longer.

“NASA has no legal obligations to host the information of Globalchange.gov,” NASA spokesman Bethany Stevens said in an email. Fortunately, copies of past reports are still available in NOAA libraryAnd the latest report and its interactive atlas can be found here.

Trump management is essentially tear down USGCRP in April when the federal employees remove from their duties. He also stopped the program’s contract with ICF International, a technology and policy consulting firm given Technical, analytical and program-program support for USGCRP and especially national climate assessments. That month, leadership rejected All scientists working on the next assessment that should be broadcast in 2028. Now past reports are more inaccessible to the public than before.

Removing USGCRP and national climate assessments, removing national climate assessments is part of the Trump management against the United States. Thousands of employees among other federal agencies that include and watching global warming National Ocean and Atmospheric Department (Noaa), Nasaand and and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – lost his jobs because Trump started his office in January. His leadership also has be frozen Climate-related grants, brave Main Federal Climate Programs, proposed Significant cuts to federal research programs and cleaned References to climate change from federal sites.

The efforts to darken the realities of Trump’s climate change will lead to realistic consequences, but are as useless. The Americans rose the global temperature because they face this crisis every day. Fifth National Climate Assessment, published in 2023, notier As climate change, the “potential catastrophic consequences” increase the weather for the nation. Many of the United States are already feeling these effects.

In the first half of 2025, many severe floods have already killed Americans’ scores. At least two people died in New Jersey in New Jersey Heavy rain caused floods in most parts of the northeast More than 100 people on Monday, July 14 and Texas-including At least 36 children died in Kerr Member Destructive July 4 Flash flood. It is difficult to connect a single air event directly to climate change, numerous work show This rising global temperature increases the frequency and intensity of extreme rain in the United States and the world, thus increases the risk of flooding. The reason for this is because the hot weather increases both evaporation and quantity The water vapor can catch the atmosphere. An atmosphere, which is more moisture, can create more heavy rain events, which is what the United States has been last.

It is also difficult to control the wildflies. It became clear that in January, where he moves more than him, the destructive wildfires Cut parts of Los Angeles. They struggled between firefighters in Arizona Two active flames near the northern ring of the Grand Canyon He destroyed a historic lodge, caused evacuations, and forced officials forced to close this part of the National Park on Sunday, July 13. Both fire remaining On Tuesday, July 15, in Tuesday, in the fifth National Climate Assessment, experts caused the fact that the fires in southwesters were larger and more serious climent.gov. The human-controlled warming plays an important role in this trend, dries the vegetation that feeds wild flames. One learn In the last 40 years, summer fire reveals that climate change is responsible for two-thirds of the growth in the weather.

Everywhere in Americans see the evidence of climate change. It’s not just deadly flood and wide wild fires – severe heating waves, seasons change and sink shorelines. This is the growing families of farmers who lost their livelihoods, family insurance costs and infrastructure in excessive weather. It will be more difficult for the people to obtain information about the ongoing crisis, but the people will be more difficult for governments and communities to adapt them.
