  • The Trump administration has halted the participation of US scientists in key UN climate change assessments, two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from a key global climate assessment, as reported by sources. This move was part of Trump's broader policy to undo many of the environmental regulations and international climate commitments established under the Obama administration, including the Paris Climate Accord. The withdrawal from this assessment, which involves tracking and reporting on climate change impacts and mitigation efforts, signifies a step back from global cooperation on climate issues. Critics argue that this action not only isolates the U.S. from international efforts to combat climate change but also undermines the global response to an escalating environmental crisis. The decision reflects Trump's skepticism towards climate science and his administration's preference for deregulation to boost economic activities, particularly in industries like fossil fuels.
