WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration plans to scrap a contract for a federal climate assessment used to direct government action on climate change, two sources familiar with the matter said.
The administration will cut the contract with global advisory ICF for work on the National Climate Assessment, a comprehensive report published every five years on how climate change affects the United States.
CF provides most of the staff for the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), an agency created by Congress in 1990 to coordinate research and investment on climate change, and which has overseen the last five national climate assessments.
The last assessment, published in 2023, said climate change was increasingly imposing costs on Americans, as prices rise for weather-related insurance or certain foods, and as medical care becomes more expensive as people face threats like extreme heat.
Without the contract, what happens with the assessment due in 2028 is uncertain, said one of the sources.
President Donald Trump's administration has targeted scientific research in several areas in sweeping government job cuts to curtail what it calls wasteful spending, including at the National Institutes of Health, Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Not federal climate “assessment.” He’s hamstringing federal climate fearmongering
My “climate assessment” is that leftists are blowing hot air—every single day.

How you know it’s a leftwing hit piece
“The Trump administration plans to scrap a contract for a federal climate assessment used to direct government action on climate change”
OH NO! We’re all gonna die ... Riiiiiight!
assessment, their assessment leads to more squandering and stealing of tax payer money into their personnel pockets and their mentally ill agenda
Thanks for that.
Saving for making wooden silhouettes right now...
I, I, I feel sooooo bad! Okay. All better. 😊👍
roto rooters says what ?
;-).
Notice they don’t say how much the contract is worth? Also, if we have so many government agencies that are supposed to be doing this work already, why are we hiring outside groups to do it?
Hamstring? They need a bigger rope.
hamstring is such a loaded word
roto roooters must have had that turd saved for a story like this.
Good move. So far I am not particularly suffering from being warm. I even survived visit to Death Valley during summer!
But, I am suffering from all those “Green, save the earth” measures.
I cannot get car I want, My gas and electricity are expensive, and unreliable, my taxes go for some crazy green initiatives, the Earth is polluted by windmills and solar cells, ...
Even if all the doomsayers were correct, the rest of the world (China, India, Russia, and many, many, other countries) have already left the station and are NOT playing ball with the doomsayers. So we (the West) could shrink our 25% share of global GNP to near zero and live destitute lives, but the other 75% of the world will continue using the resources they have access to for IMPROVING their lives...and the planet cannot be saved (even using their logic).
Best Psyops ever with China’s finance of the Green Global Warming conspiracy.
Good riddance to funding junk science.

What a combo. Two of worst leftist propagandists in the world.
And still waiting on Ethanol.
Assessment = fees...’bout time it ended.
Should be limited to adapting to the results of a changing climate. It is wasteful to throw money at something you cannot affect.
