The US Department of Defense has cancelled more than 91 studies, many of which pertain to climate change, that have sparked political,  scientific, and military debates. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, one of the most powerful men in President Donald Trump’s administration, called climate change research “crap,” defending the administration’s policy of not giving priority to climate change policies in government agencies. The transition has drawn opposition and support, echoing the broader divide in US climate policy.
