Two large US scientific societies have announced that they will join together to create the effects of the climate crissis of experts after the government of Donald Trump dismissed the participants for an important report on the Congress on the willingness of climate crises.

On Friday, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) said that they will work together to produce more than 29 of experts that will cover all aspects of climate change, including observations, projections, effects, risks and solutions.

Cooperation takes place only a few days after the government of Trump has rejected all contributors to the sixth national climate assessment (NCA), the flagship study by the US government on climate change. The dismissal of almost 400 participants had left the future of the study in question; It was planned for the publication in 2028.

The NCA was monitored by the NASA-supported global change program-a important US climate setting authority, which the Trump government had also released last month. The reported input of 14 federal authorities and hundreds of external scientists since 2000.

In his announcement on Friday, the two companies said: “These efforts aim to maintain the dynamics of the sixth national climate assessment (NCA), whose authors and employees were rejected by the Trump government in almost a year at the beginning of this week.”

According to AMS and AGU, the collection will not replace the NCA, but will create a mechanism for important work on the effects of climate change to continue. “It is American to us that our communities, our neighbors, our children are all protected and prepared for the increasing risks of climate change,” said Brandon Jones of AGU.

“This collaboration offers a critical path for a wide range of researchers to meet and to support science to support the global company that pursues solutions to climate change,” he added.

Similarly, the AMS President David Stensrud said: “Our economy, our health, our society are all dependent on the climate. Although we cannot replace the NCA, we see it as important at AMS to support this collaborative scientific efforts for the benefit of the US public and the world.”

Katharine Hayhoe, a climate professor and chief scientist at Texas Tech University University, said with The Associated Press, said that the latest cooperation between AMS and AGU is “proof of how important it is that the latest science is summarized and available”.

Hayhoe, who was a main author of reports in 2009, 2009, 2009, 2018, and an author of the in 2023, added: “People are not aware of how the climate change affects the decisions that they are making today, whether it is the size of the storm wastewater pipes that they install, regardless of whether it is the expansion of the flood, in which people are built up, Build extreme heat. “

In addition to the widespread layoffs in the federal authorities, information about information about climate change and extreme weather events has been reduced since Trump took office in January.
