Trump administration cancels Arctic report, undermining climate science

This week, the U.S. government acknowledged that it had canceled the publication of a benchmark report on the state of the Arctic, which had been released annually since 2006. The report is highly regarded by the scientific community, which considers it an important source of information on climate change.

The cancellation of this document comes at a time when climate research in the United States is facing attacks from the Trump administration, described by some as another blow to climate science.
