Arctic Report Card Cut by Trump Admin | Anchorage News

The Trump administration has pulled federal funding from the Arctic Report Card — NOAA’s annual, peer-reviewed snapshot of Arctic climate change — sparking alarm among scientists and lawmakers. Though data collection will continue, NOAA no longer leads the report’s coordination, a move critics say undermines critical climate research at a time of accelerating Arctic change. Polar scientist Melody Brown Burkins and Senator Lisa Murkowski voiced concern, warning that cutting ties to this vital tool weakens global climate understanding and jeopardizes communities worldwide. Environmental advocates stress that Arctic shifts ripple globally, making sustained funding essential for ocean health and safety — echoing broader Trump-era rollbacks in climate science, including removing climate info from NOAA’s site and slashing data deliveries to research centers.
