The Trump administration has decided to disband the federal advisory panel for the National Climate Assessment, a group aimed at helping policymakers and private-sector officials incorporate the government’s climate analysis into long-term planning.
The charter for the 15-person Advisory Committee for the Sustained National Climate Assessment — which includes academics as well as local officials and corporate representatives — expires Sunday. On Friday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s acting administrator, Ben Friedman, informed the committee’s chair that the agency would not renew the panel.
The National Climate Assessment is supposed to be issued every four years but has come out only three times since passage of the 1990 law calling for such analysis. The next one, due for release in 2018, already has become a contentious issue for the Trump administration.
The committee was established in 2015, but its members were not appointed until last summer. They convened their first meeting in the fall.

This might make Peggy Noonan faint.
GO “President TRUMP” GO!
Clean out that SWAMP!
So do these climate change clowns get moved to other federal positions or are they axed saving us tax dollars?
Wait...I thought with Bannon gone, the WH was going to fall into liberal hell.
Another landmine planted by Obama.
Obviously you didn’t read the article.
More WIN
Despite the constant barrage from all sides, President Trump keeps on plugging away...
“... includes academics as well as local officials and corporate representatives...”
Just look at all the “expert climatologists” that were on this committee!!!!! *ROFL*
good
Yeah, well I didn’t read the article either because I use an ad blocker and WaPo withholds articles unless I allow them to spam the hell out of me. Screw ‘em.
Trump doing good work!
To all who say the Science on Climate Change is closed....Science is never 'closed'...climate change science is extrapolating conclusions from incomplete/misinformed data.
Good on POTUS!

I’m having trouble making sense of this. Formed in 1990, is chartered to deliver a report every 3 years, that makes 27 years divided by 3 or about 9 reports but has only delivered 3 reports and last but not least was empaneled in 2015?
Sounds like a waster of time and money with little urgency. Abolished. MAGA.
“Obviously you didn’t read the article.”
Save us some time and the misery of going to the Post. I didn’t read it either. What is your point?
Complete waste of time and money, but stay tuned for all the whining from the usual suspects.
