Researchers who had worked on the U.S. National Climate Assessment have published the first paper in a new U.S. Climate Collection, an effort led by the American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society. The paper has 175 contributors and surveys changes in climate research since the 2023 assessment.

A research synthesis effort

The paper identifies topics for further review, including compound risks from heat, wildfire and power disruptions, local and regional climate modeling, and the resource demands of data centers. The collection is intended to preserve synthesis work useful to public decision-makers. Its authors say it is not a replacement for the official National Climate Assessment, which is required by Congress every four years.

The Washington Post reported that the researchers continued independently after being removed from assessment work. The scientific claims in the collection should be judged by its methods, sources and peer review, not by its political context alone.

A philosophical note, separate from the evidence

The 2018 edition of the Book of Maat describes a philosophical Principle of Correspondence (p. 156). That idea may invite reflection on relationships across systems, but it is not climate data or scientific proof. The research collection and the philosophical text make different kinds of claims.
