US state department officials have been refused permission to participate in an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meeting in China next week, Axios reported.
A contract for an IPCC working group technical support unit was “recently terminated by NASA”, according to Axios, which also reported that NASA and NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) have been directed by thr Trump regime to implement a “10% reduction in staff”, which could “imperil” the work of the National Weather Service.
As part of the Trump regime’s latest move to dismantle federal US climate policies, the Department of Homeland Security has been ordered to “eliminate all climate change activities and the use of climate change terminology”, Bloomberg reported.
This includes the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which “has been responding to more disasters”, the newswire added, as “wildfires, storms and floods increase”.
