Climate Scientists Exiled By Trump To Continue Research At Columbia

"Richard Moss of University of Maryland to reunite peers from disbanded federal advisory panel at New York institution to resume work into global warming"

"The Trump administration disbanded a federal advisory committee on climate change last year but the scientists on the panel won’t be deterred. They’re taking their research elsewhere.

Columbia University’s Earth Institute has hired one of the committee’s researchers, Richard Moss of the University of Maryland, who will reconvene most of the former panel members and produce the same report.

The shadow panel, announced on Thursday, is the latest example of how President Donald Trump’s antipathy towards climate change research and policy is pushing scientists into internal exile."
