Two years after Donald Trump's return to power, the alarming assessment from American climatologists

Since returning to the White House in January 2025, Donald Trump has intensified his attacks on climate science, leading to significant layoffs at NOAA, NASA, and the DOE. He has attempted to close major climate research laboratories, impacting researchers severely. Twila Moon, a researcher at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, reported that colleagues have relocated abroad or left the scientific field due to these changes. She noted that federal funding and NOAA support were drastically cut in August, a move unprecedented since the establishment of a key Arctic report in 2006, which Trump has shown interest in for its fossil resources.
