U.S. has long been a global leader in climate research, says Julian Zelizer .

Since Trump took office in January , the federal government has frozen billions of dollars in climate funding and grants for universities.

Zelizer: The loss of American research and expertise will affect the entire world.

NOAA and NASA are among agencies that conduct climate science that have received budget cuts.

The budget proposal for NASA is expected to halve science funding.

The U.S. Academic Alliance is stepping up in place of the federal government to handle nominations for the next IPCC assessment.

In 2018 , the last year that the Government Accountability Office took stock of federal climate funding, the government was spending over $13 billion on climate change research.

But in recent weeks , the Trump administration has frozen billions of these dollars as part of its investigation into antisemitism at over 60 universities.

With so much uncertainty, scientists may begin to seek opportunities in other countries.
