Trump admin seeks to revise 2020 Climate Report
The Trump administration is proposing to revise the 2023 National Climate Assessment to dismiss worst-case climate scenarios, particularly the high-emission pathway known as RCP8.5, as implausible and restrict their use in federal decision-making. This move, led by appointee Matthew Wielicki, has faced opposition from scientists and California officials, who argue it undermines scientific integrity and disregards rigorous, multi-agency research. The proposal aims to align climate reporting with an executive order promoting reliance on less unlikely scenarios and reflects the administration’s focus on energy development and reducing emphasis on climate risks.
