Donald Trump doesn’t believe in climate change and he’s doing everything he can to defund research on it. There’s an overwhelming scientific consensus that burning fossil fuels is disrupting the climate. Now, some scientists are reportedly taking the president to court so they can continue their research.
Trump has been attempting to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and the institution has challenged his targeting, calling it “a widespread and coordinated campaign of punishment and coercion.” The NCAR is a federally funded research center, but the issue lies in where the center is based.
