First National Climate Act, Historic Work, 1978

GreenPolicy360 Siterunner / SJS: The beginnings of modern environmental and climate science can be traced to the 1960s and 1970s. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences played a key role in laying a foundation of scientific reports and data.

Energy and Climate Report, 1977, National Academy of Sciences / 175 pp. / PDF via GreenPolicy360

Rep. George Brown took the findings of the 1977 Energy and Climate Report from the Academy of Sciences and made the science actionable. In a historic moment, he proposed and drafted the legislation of the first U.S. National Climate Program and shepherded its passage in 1978.

This first federal program established to study and assess scientifically the issues and risks of human-caused climate change became a foundation for comprehensive initiatives, with an array of new Earth Science missions led by NASA and NOAA, the EPA and USGS.

2016...

An election and a retro-vision U.S. president, Donald Trump, comes into office with what is described as a "transactional" approach to governing. The new administration immeditely attempts to rollback Environmental Security efforts and progress of decades. The Trump administration attempts to 'scrub' Earth science and climate change and environment-related information that is publicly available from the U.S. and shut down, defund, terminate and block environmental, health, and public benefit programs that Trump deems expendable.

Rollbacks included:

Trump administration attempts to end earth science missions of NASA as part of a larger rollback of environmental protections
