Trump administration dissolves 🚫 Climate ☔️ Advisory Panel

The Trump administration decided 👍 to disband the federal advisory panel for the National Climate Assessment ☔️, a group aimed at helping policymakers 📋 and private-sector officials incorporate the government’s climate ☔️ analysis into long-term planning.

The charter for the 15-person advisory panel, which includes academics as well as local officials and corporate representatives — expires Sunday.

On Friday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s acting administrator, Ben Friedman, informed the committee’s chair that the agency would not renew the panel.

The National Climate Assessment ☔️ is supposed to be issued every four years but has come out only three times since passage of the 1990 law calling for such analysis.

The next one, due for release in 2018, already has become a contentious issue for the Trump administration.
