In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through the climate alarmism community, the Trump administration has officially cut off funding for the Global Change Research Program—a program that has spent the last thirty years predicting nothing but doom and gloom. It seems common sense is back in style, as “stop work” orders were issued for the contractors supporting this federally funded boondoggle. Established by Congress in the 1990s, the program has long been a conduit for climate melodrama, coordinating with NASA and fourteen other federal agencies, as well as legions of scientists aiming to crank out the infamous National Climate Assessment.
The National Climate Assessment has rarely been a paragon of accuracy, but that hasn’t stopped it from influencing a laundry list of government policies and business strategies. Its findings require a suspension of logic that most rational folks simply cannot muster. Over the years, the report has claimed that global warming causes everything from increased hurricanes to devastating floods, yet the reality seldom matches its far-fetched predictions. Ironically, as the climate alarmists have warned of catastrophe, the world keeps on turning—quite comfortably, in fact.
Adding to the absurdity, the Global Change Research Program was found to be burning through nearly five billion dollars in taxpayer money, with only two full-time employees on its federal payroll. The bulk of the work has been funneled to a left-leaning environmental consulting firm, ICF, which has wielded profound control over this supposedly independent agency. A climate scientist familiar with the workings of the program hinted at ICF’s dominion over the entire operation, claiming their monopoly stifles genuine debate and skews governmental priorities towards a climate narrative steeped in alarmism.
Trump Cuts Funding for Fearmongering Climate Change Programhttps://t.co/ypbQXJJfNi

Investigations into how taxpayer dollars fuel this cabal of climate despair seekers have suggested the need for a complete overhaul of this so-called research program. With a growing appetite for government accountability, the White House is expected to take a more active role in shaping the National Climate Assessment, especially since the Administration recognizes the necessity of combating court overreach and bureaucratic resistance in environmental policymaking. There’s growing awareness that unearthing this tangled web of climate propaganda could unleash more effective and sensible policies.
By ceasing the flow of funds to the climate doomsayers, the Trump administration is effectively striking a significant blow against the alarmist agenda that has plagued U.S. economic discourse. This decision not only saves taxpayers money but also signals a return to sanity in climate discussions, where evidence-based policies take precedence over fearmongering and conjecture. At the end of the day, the move is a refreshing reminder that an informed populace can push back against the tide of exaggerated predictions and hold the power to demand accountability from those who’ve long profited from partisan panic.
