The Economic Impact of Trump’s War on Climate Science

This Bloomberg News podcast, "The Big Take," investigates the Trump administration's actions against climate science across various federal agencies like the EPA, FEMA, NOAA, DOI, and DOE. It details budget cuts, staff reductions, and the cancellation of programs and grants, which are impacting the U.S.'s ability to address climate change and natural disasters. The podcast explores the economic consequences, including potential slowdowns in GDP growth, increased costs from extreme weather events, and the cancellation of green energy projects. It also examines how these actions could allow countries like China and Europe to take the lead in clean energy and technology, while experts warn that the damage to climate science infrastructure will be difficult to reverse.
