Scientists have started responding to Trump's attempts to diminish the significance of climate research

• Scientists reacted to the call from the Trump administration regarding climate.
• The National Academy of Sciences is conducting a review of climate research.
• Experts criticize attempts to diminish the significance of scientific data.

A group of climate researchers started a coordinated response to the call from the Trump administration, which raises serious doubts about the seriousness of climate change. The call, published last week, included proposals regarding the deregulation of polluting industries and was signed by five researchers, known for stating that the consequences of climate change are significant for Americans.

Scientists who wrote or contributed to hundreds of reviewed studies are trying to protest the Trump administration's attempts to exclude scientific data from public discourse. Government agencies, such as the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, use this call as a basis for weakening regulations regarding pollution.

In addition, the administration released all mandatory climate assessments from federal websites. Energy Secretary Rick Perry noted that the calls, which were previously published, will be removed before being republished on the internet.

Scientists plan to write a public comment on the call from the Department of Energy to ensure access to scientific data for the public. Experts from the National Academy of Sciences highlighted the need for a comprehensive review of climate research conducted since 2009, which will be completed by the end of the year.

This review aims to provide current data for policymakers and the public. President of the National Academy of Sciences Marcia McNutt emphasized the importance of ensuring that federal policy is based on the best available scientific data.

Scientists working on the response to the call believe that it is essential to highlight the critical issues that require correction. They also note that the Trump administration is trying to undermine its policy, relying on data that does not reflect the complete picture of scientific research.
