NYT > Science·August 10, 2026
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine has removed a chapter on climate change from a manual intended for judges. The deletion was made after the organization faced pressure from Republican leaders, including President Trump. The manual, which aims to help judges understand complex scientific issues, will no longer include information on climate science. The removal of the chapter has sparked concerns about the politicization of science and its potential impact on environmental policy.
