Environmental groups sue Trump over suppressed climate report

A coalition of environmental groups filed suit in federal court after the Trump administration withheld the federally mandated National Climate Assessment, which was completed under Biden but shelved before publication. The report documented accelerating climate impacts across all US regions. The administration had dismissed its own expert authors and blocked public release, prompting legal action under the Global Change Research Act of 1990.
