"The White House last week abruptly removed the lead scientist over the National Climate Assessment — a Trump appointee whom peers have called a serious professional in an untenable situation.

Betsy Weatherhead — an atmospheric scientist with decades of experience in academia and the private sector — was recently reassigned from her civil service post overseeing the national climate report, a multiagency effort released by the federal government every four years.

The report was particularly politicized under former President Trump, who released the 2018 report on the day after Thanksgiving, prompting outrage in the scientific community."
