Love to see the names of the AERE community on this list!
I love that over a hundred climate activists - oh no excuse me, Environmental and Natural Resource Economists! - are objecting to the "quiet cancellation of this important leadership initiative & critical public resource," calling it "as shortsighted as it is unlawful."

National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration
The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.

I was so shocked by this White House post that I asked Google Gemini AI whether it was real or fake. Gemini's 1st take -a resounding assertion the tweet was a spoof- is in the post below.
Gemini's reasoning is similar to what any normal human being would think after seeing such a sophomoric post.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!
why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

This is what COURAGE looks like. Thanks to every person who marched. Thanks to all who cheered and waved. Thanks to all in cars who endured traffic jams but continued to honk and wave. And to the MAGA guy who yelled from his truck that we are not patriots, check yourself. The Resistance is coming!

Not yet a hundred days, and it'll get plenty worse before the policy pendulum will swing back, but the political pendulum is swinging back hard already.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
