The Trump administration has dismissed some 400 researchers involved in putting together the National Climate Assessment. The flagship governmental report is designed to help local and federal authorities respond to the evolving climate crisis and is published every few years by congressional mandate. The sixth edition of the assessment was scheduled to be released in 2028, though its publication is now in question.
