The US government is withdrawing grants and other support for research that even references the climate crisis, academics say.

Funding freeze for federally backed scientific work also has been imposed, throwing the US scientific community into chaos.

Trump has already stripped mentions of climate change and global heating from government websites and ordered a halt to programs that reference diversity, equity and inclusion.

The attack upon science “feels very personal right now” and may deter a new generation of young scientists from entering their areas of research.

“We could see a reduction in whole fields of scientific research that will slow down our ability to understand the natural world and craft policies to protect society and national security,’s Joanne Carney said.
