According to the Post, acting National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Ben Friedman informed the Advisory Committee for the Sustained National Climate Assessment its charter would not be renewed after its expiration on August 2. The review committee helps take scientific findings from the National Climate Assessment—a series of federal summaries of climate data which is supposed to come out every four years—and turn that information into “concrete guidance for both public and private- sector officials.”Trump and his team, however, seem to already have something concrete for the National Climate Assessment: Shoes.

According to the Post, one immediate impact of the committee being disbanded was that organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers would no longer get detailed data they need to do things like update building codes. Richard Moss, the chair of the committee, told the paper its members will continue their work in private, but the decision to disband it as a formal entity was “short- sighted” and could end up “running huge risks here and possibly end up hurting the next generation’s economic prospects.”“It won’t have the same weight as if we were issuing it as a federal advisory committee,” he added.[Washington Post].
