Summary
Trump is withdrawing support for scientific research that references climate change, forcing researchers to alter project titles to retain funding.
Grants, including Fulbright scholarships and National Science Foundation (NSF) projects, are being frozen or revised to remove terms like “climate change” and “equity.”
The administration has also cut NSF staff and scrubbed climate references from federal programs. Scientists warn this politicization threatens research, public safety, and national security.
Critics argue it prioritizes industry interests over scientific progress. Calls for greater scientific investment are growing.

Why are insurance companies just stopping with insuring houses and businesses? Without insurance, no loans, no economic activity!
Let’s study this. Aaand it’s defunded. Looks like it’ll remain a mystery, sir.
These stupid fucks are screwing with the entire planet without a single worry about it.
It’s so low rent too, literally just doing a “find - Delete all”
Just got the word today at my job that the people who write reports need to remove all mention of climate related things, not even a year after they finally decided to tell that we can include it. So basically, the last legislation moved too slowly and this administration is moving rapidly to change what they finally implemented.
Time to start researching “global long term weather patterns” instead.
Collective action from the bottom up, across the world. It’s the only game in town.
If you’re not sure how, step one is “don’t scoff like a fucking idiot”.
