Two major scientific societies on Friday said they will try to fill the void from the Trump administration's dismissal of scientists writing a cornerstone federal report on what climate change is doing to the United States.Related video above: Scientists warn Earth nears climate 'point of no return맥스카지노�The American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union said they will work together to produce peer-reviewed research documents assessing the current and future national impacts of climate change because a science-based report required by law is suddenly in question under President Donald Trump.Earlier this week, Trump's Republican administration told about 400 scientists working on the National Climate Assessment that they were no longer needed and that the report was being reevaluated. That report, which comes once every four to five years, is required by a 1990 federal law and was due out around 2027.맥스카지노�We are filling in a gap in the scientific process,맥스카지노� AGU President Brandon Jones said. 맥스카지노�It's more about ensuring that science continues.맥스카지노�Meteorological Society's past president, Anjuli Bamzi, a retired federal atmospheric scientist who has worked on previous National Climate Assessments, said one of the most important parts of the federal report is that it projects 25 and 100 years into the future.With the assessment 맥스카지노�we're better equipped to deal with the future,맥스카지노� Bamzi said. 맥스카지노�We can't be an ostrich and put our head in the sand and let it go.맥스카지노�Texas Tech University climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, also chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy, said the two organizations joining to do this report 맥스카지노�is a testament to how important it is that the latest science be summarized and available.맥스카지노�Hayhoe, who was a lead author of reports in 2009, 2018 and 2023, said, 맥스카지노�People are not aware of how climate change is impacting the decisions that they are making today, whether it맥스카지노�s the size of the storm sewer pipes they맥스카지노�re installing, whether it is the expansion of the flood zone where people are building, whether it is the increases in extreme heat."They need that knowledge to figure out how to adapt to harms in the future and even the present, Hayhoe said.The national assessment, unlike global United Nations documents, highlights what맥스카지노�s happening to the weather not just in the nation but at regional and local levels.Jones said he hopes the societies' work can be done in just one year.The last climate assessment report, released in 2023, said that climate change is "harming physical, mental, spiritual, and community health and well-being through the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme events, increasing cases of infectious and vector-borne diseases, and declines in food and water quality and security."In 2018, during Trump's first term, the assessment was just as blunt, saying, "Climate change creates new risks and exacerbates existing vulnerabilities in communities across the United States, presenting growing challenges to human health and safety, quality of life, and the rate of economic growth."But University of Illinois climate scientist Donald Wuebbles, who led one of 2018's two national reports, said he worries about what kind of document this new administration will try to issue, if any.맥스카지노�I think they'll put out something that will, like, it'll be scientifically based, but it will be pretty crappy,맥스카지노� Wuebbles told The Associated Press.Watering down or killing the national assessment will not keep the message about the importance of climate change from getting out, Wuebbles said. The scientific societies' efforts to fill the void will have some value because they will be a statement of the scientific community, and, in the end, he said, science is about data and observations.맥스카지노�We know this is an extremely important problem. We know it is human activities driving it. So the question is: What do you do about it?맥스카지노� Wuebbles said.Storms and wildfires do not care if it is a red state or a blue state, Hayhoe said.맥스카지노�Climate change affects us all,맥스카지노� Hayhoe said. 맥스카지노�It doesn't matter how we vote.맥스카지노�___The Associated Press맥스카지노� climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.
