This past week in the United States, climate change has remained a central issue as states and federal authorities continue to grapple with its impacts and the political controversy surrounding climate science. According to ABC News, a significant federal climate website managed by the U.S. Global Change Research Program was taken offline by the Trump administration. This website previously offered expansive resources and included the National Climate Assessments, which are congressionally mandated reports detailing the science and effects of climate change across the country. In June, the administration had also canceled funding for the next assessment and dismissed all contributing scientists. NASA is set to host the previous reports in an attempt to maintain federal compliance, but the shuttering of this site raises concerns among experts about public access to critical climate data at a time when accurate information is increasingly necessary.

On the state level, however, momentum continues despite federal disruptions. The League of Conservation Voters reports that June saw significant progress in several states advancing clean energy initiatives, investment in renewable resources, and policies to reduce emissions. For example, the Oregon legislature passed a new bill that ensures large energy users such as data centers and cryptocurrency operations are classified separately, forcing major polluters to shoulder a fair share of the energy burden and aiming to control costs for ordinary consumers. In New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy announced a four hundred thirty million dollar package designed to reduce summer power bills, a response to the spike in demand and rising costs during extreme heat waves, which are becoming more common with shifting climate patterns.

Across the country, the last decade has brought more billion-dollar inland flooding disasters than the previous three decades combined, and the frequency of severe storms, droughts, and wildfires continues to rise. According to testimony before Congress, climate change is driving this increase, and such events are expected to intensify further as the planet warms. Research discussed in congressional hearings warns that by the year twenty one hundred, extreme rainstorms that were once rare could occur every two years, and coastal communities may contend with significantly more frequent flooding even on sunny days.

Looking ahead, New York City is preparing for Climate Week in September, an annual event that draws global leaders to discuss solutions, report progress, and galvanize public action. Internationally, leaders in Asia and the Pacific are preparing for the Asia Climate Summit in Bangkok in July, where the focus will be on scaling up market-based solutions and leveraging new technology.

The current pattern reveals a United States deeply divided on climate policy at the federal level, but with individual states and global partners pressing forward through regional action, new legislation, and collaborative international summits. The urgency is underscored by increasingly severe weather, mounting costs, and a growing need for both resilience and coordinated response.
