Written by RCEI affiliate Pamela McElwee, a professor in the Department of Human Ecology, this article, published in Science, is a call to action for US scientists, organizations, and citizens to not let the gaping hole in climate science left by the Trump administration go unnoticed or untreated. Due to the administration pulling the United States out of 60 global institutions, many that provided a platform for essential intellectual collaboration on climate action plans and advice for policy makers, it is now easier than ever for America to fall behind when it once was a leader. The American Geophysical Union, along with universities including Rutgers, is offering continued support to US climate scientists so they can keep doing their work, but they can’t be alone in stepping up. The article encourages non-profit organizations, local governments, and individual researchers to keep going and contribute each in their own way to help alleviate this current crisis.
