"Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright said officials are reviewing previously published National Climate Assessments and may update them. Earlier this year, the Trump administration fired more than 400 scientists working on the next federal climate report and removed the website that housed the previous ones."
"U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said this week the Trump administration plans to review and potentially alter the nation’s climate science reports.
In a Tuesday appearance on CNN’s The Source, Wright told CNN host Kaitlan Collins the National Climate Assessments have been removed from government websites “because we’re reviewing them.”
“We will come out with updated reports on those and with comments on those,” Wright said.
The National Climate Assessments are mandated by Congress and have been released five times since 2000. The federal reports, prepared by hundreds of volunteer scientists, are subject to extensive peer review and provide detail on how climate change is affecting each region of the United States so far, plus the latest scientific forecasts."
