National Academy Of Sciences Faces Mounting Scandal Over Climate Activism
The National Academy of Advocacy: Internal documents raise new questions about the institution’s funding and independence.

by Roger Pielke Jr.  September 02, 2026, 9:54 AM in Legal, Money & Finance, News and Opinion, 
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) — a storied institution signed into law by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 through an act of Congress — finds itself at the center of a growing controversy over how it has mixed climate change science and politics in violation of its Congressional mandate and the organization’s commitment to objectivity, independence, and excellence. [some emphasis, links added]


It would be easy to dismiss the issues here as just another arena where pathological partisan politics has taken root — science institutions have certainly not been immune.

While it is certainly true that universities and many institutions of expertise have become increasingly politicized and political targets of the current administration, partisan battles are not all that is going on.

That which can be created by an Act of Congress can be destroyed by another Act of Congress. 

American taxpayers should not be subsidizing a liberal Dem political action institution that has aligned interests with China.

Who has the most to benefit from America's de-carbonization?  The Chinese Communist Party

ALL government agencies are "political" now.

From the biggest ones, down to the broom closets...
