A number of climate scientists have fled the US for Norway’s research institutes since Donald Trump started pushing through his anti-science and anti-climate crisis agenda, Norway’s minister for research has said.
In the first year of Trump’s second term, the US government cut thousands of jobs at federal science agencies, slashed grant money for universities and effectively ended government-backed research into the climate crisis, notably with the announcement last December that the Colorado-based National Center for Atmospheric Research would close.
