Five takeaways from the federal climate report
The New York Times on Tuesday detailed the conclusions of a major draft government study on climate change — and how scientists are preparing for pushback from President Trump’s administration.
The report is part of an effort that 13 federal agencies undertake every four years to report on the state of the climate and climate science.
It’s government-mandated, but the Trump administration has yet to sign off on the report, raising concerns that the administration could undercut some of its more dire observations and predictions.
. . . .
Scientists who spoke to the New York Times — those involved in the report and those outside its process — said it was sent to the newspaper because scientists are afraid that Trump will suppress some or all of its findings.
