National Climate Assessment Report
Panic in the Greenhouse: Guardian Shrieks as Climate Gravy Train Derails
2 days ago Charles Rotter
They say you can hear the wailing from space—or at least from deep within the editorial dungeon of The Guardian, where climate correspondents are reportedly being consoled with soy lattes and participation trophies after the unthinkable occurred: the Trump administration canceled funding for ICF International, the contractor coordinating America’s National Climate Assessment (NCA). That’s right—the federal sugar spigot has been shut off, and the climate clergy are not taking it well.
Let’s start with a gem from The Guardian’s April 9th obituary for the ICF’s federal funding:
“There’s really no coming back from this,” moaned one anonymous staffer, whose main contribution to planetary salvation apparently consisted of convening meetings and photocopying catastrophic graphs. “I’m left without a support system and the latest science on climate change”.

But fear not, dear reader, for this is not the death of science—it’s the euthanasia of a political machine disguised as one.
