President Donald Trump is wading into the debate over a retracted climate education chapter in a judicial manual, ordering a review that could lead to funding cuts to one of the nation’s most respected scientific institutions.
In a post Sunday night on Truth Social, Trump said he is ordering federal officials with authority over contracts and grants to look at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
“Our Taxpayers should not be funding Climate Fraud, and Judges should never have relied upon it,” Trump said.
A spokesperson said the academies “remain committed to our mission to provide independent, objective scientific advice. Our activities are conducted to ensure scientific rigor, transparency and independence. Those enduring values remain our commitment.”
