Hundreds of scientists and experts who were working on the government’s report on how global warming is affecting the country have reportedly been dismissed by the Trump administration.
Researchers who were working on the sixth national climate assessment that was set for an early 2028 release received an email on Monday stating that the scope of the report "is currently being re-evaluated" and that all those working on it were being dismissed, the New York Times reported.
The federal government has published a report every few years since 2000 outlining how climate change would affect human health, transportation, agriculture, energy production, and other things. The last report was issued in 2023.
