As Trump reports in the climate, NASA breaks its promise to save them

Since he took office in January, the Trump administration has made a great effort to limit the public’s access to information about climate change. After the president suspended the official government website, which hosted the national climate reviews earlier this month, NASA broke her promise to publish it on its own website.

On Monday, July 14, NASA press secretary He said Associated Press will not host NASA any data from Globalchand.gov, which was the official website of the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). This program is among the agencies Spread About four years of national climate evaluation, according to the 1990 Global Change Research Law. These reports provide reliable scientific information about climate change risks, effects and responses in the United States after USGCRP. Darkening In early July, the White House and NASA said that the space agency will publish reports on its website to comply with the 1990 law, according to AP. Apparently, this is no longer the case.

“NASA is not committed to legal obligations to host Globalchange.gov data,” NASA, Pethani Stephen, said in a email letter. Fortunately, copies of previous reports are still available in Noaa libraryThe latest report and its interactive atlas can be found here.

Trump administration mainly dismantling USGCRP in April when he removed federal employees from their positions. It also ended the program contract with ICF International, a consulting company for technology and policy available Technical, analytical and program support for USGCRP, especially its national climate assessments. Later that month, administration to reject All scientists working in the following evaluation, which was supposed to be published in 2028. Now, previous reports of the public can not be accessed more than ever.

The evacuation of Usgcrp and Sinjab away from its national climate assessments is just part of the comprehensive attack by the Trump administration against American climate information. Thousands of employees via other federal agencies that are studying and tracking global warming – including National Oceanic and Attrads Administration (Noa), Nassaand Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – He lost their jobs since Trump took office in January. Its administration also Frozen Climate grants, killing Main federal climate programs, Proposal Great discounts for federal research programs, and disinfection References to climate change from federal sites.

Trump’s efforts to hide the facts of climate change will have real consequences, but in the end it is useless. Americans face this crisis every day while moving on new challenges paid at an increasing global temperature. Fifth National Climate Evaluation, published in 2023, to caution From the “potential catastrophic results” of the nation as climate change increases the harsh weather. Many parts of the United States already feel these effects.

The multiple flood events have already killed dozens of Americans in the first half of 2025. Recently, at least two people died in New Jersey when The abundant rain has caused flash floods in most of the northeast On Monday 14 July, and more than 100 people in Texas –Incurred At least 36 children in Kiir Province – they were equipped during Destroyed on July 4 of the floods. While it is difficult to connect a single weather event directly to climate change, numerous studies Display The high global temperatures increase the frequency and intensity of severe rain in the United States and around the world, and thus increase the risk of floods. This is because the warmer air increases both evaporation and amount From water vapor can carry the atmosphere. The atmosphere that contains more moisture can produce more intense rainfall events, which is exactly what the United States faces recently.

Forest fires are also more difficult in management. This was evident in January, when more than ten homogeneous fire fires Parts of Los Angeles. In Arizona, the firefighters struggled to contain them Two active fires near the Northern Grand Canyon edge This historic hostel was destroyed, evacuated, and forced officials to close this part of the National Park on Sunday, July 13. Both fires Remain 0 % received from Tuesday, 15 July. In the fifth national climate evaluation, experts concluded that the fires in the southwest became larger and more severe, according to Climate.gov. The warming that a person plays an important role in this direction, as the vegetation that nourishes forest fires dries. one Ticket I found that climate change may be responsible for nearly two -thirds of the remarkable increase in summer weather conditions over the past forty years.

Everywhere the Americans see, seeing evidence of climate change. They are not just deadly floods and deadly forest fires – they are severe heat waves, transformation seasons, and drowning coasts. Farmers lose their livelihoods, families facing high insurance costs, and infrastructure wandering under harsh weather conditions. This makes it difficult to access information about this ongoing crisis that will not protect the public from its effects, but it will make it difficult for governments and societies to adapt to them.
