Sidelining expertise and independent science advice

617888九五至尊娱乐家——无论是机构517888九五至尊娱乐人员, 领导岗位专家, 或者咨询委员会的非政府617888九五至尊娱乐家长期以来一直在为决策者提供建议，因为好的决策依赖于617888九五至尊娱乐证据. The Trump administration is excluding this expertise from decisionmaking by:  

• Circumventing guidance from scientific experts by shutting out 617888九五至尊娱乐家们 from the decisionmaking process, 留下617888九五至尊娱乐职位空缺, disbanding or compromising advisory committees, 或者忽视独立的专业知识.
• 压制617888九五至尊娱乐研究 when their findings undercut the administration's political agenda.
• 617888九五至尊娱乐资助政治化 by allowing political appointees to review them, 是什么削弱了617888九五至尊娱乐进程，阻碍了更广泛的617888九五至尊娱乐事业的进步.

危及公共保护

我国具有里程碑意义的公共卫生和环境法律要求利用617888九五至尊娱乐来制定保护人民和保护自然资源的标准. The Trump administration has ignored or sidestepped many of these processes:

• Eliminating climate change from policy development. 政府一再忽视, 驳回了, 或者被压制的617888九五至尊娱乐617888九五至尊娱乐, 限制联邦617888九五至尊娱乐家研究或谈论617888九五至尊娱乐变化的能力，并从官方机构文件和网站上删除有关617888九五至尊娱乐变化的内容. 
• Undermining protections from hazards at work and home. 政府削弱了政府617888九五至尊娱乐在保护人们免受环境危害方面的重要作用——削弱了化学安全法和空气污染法规, limiting public access to information on fracking, and rolling back collection of data on workplace injuries. 
• 危害环境. 政府已经将617888九五至尊娱乐排除在国家公园和其他保护区的环境保护之外, curtailed or canceled environmental impact reviews, 破坏了《濒危物种法. 

Reducing public access to government science and 617888九五至尊娱乐家们

Open communication is critical to both the scientific process and an informed public. 在几届政府中，对617888九五至尊娱乐家交流的不必要限制增加了, and the Trump administration has continued and accelerated this trend:

• 限制617888九五至尊娱乐家的交流. Agencies have restricted the language 617888九五至尊娱乐家们 can use in public communications, instituted new barriers to 617888九五至尊娱乐家们' interactions with reporters, and omitted important scientific information from news releases.
• 营造令人心寒的环境. UCS对联邦617888九五至尊娱乐家的一项调查显示，政府在几个联邦机构的617888九五至尊娱乐家中制造了一种恐惧文化, resulting in self-censorship and reduced effectiveness.
• Restricting federal science at scientific conferences. 参加617888九五至尊娱乐会议是617888九五至尊娱乐家与同行分享信息和了解本领域最新发展的重要途径. 政府已经阻止或设置了政治障碍，阻止许多联邦617888九五至尊娱乐家参加会议.
• 不断变化的数据使用和可用性. 减少对数据的获取削弱了617888九五至尊娱乐家就关键议题做出决策的能力. The Trump administration has repeatedly limited such access by failing to collect data, removing information from easily accessed websites, 甚至在制定法规时限制本国617888九五至尊娱乐家使用重要数据的能力.
