In 1990, Congress passed the Global Change Research Act, which created the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). The program aims to study environmental changes and their impact on society. [emphasis, links added]
USGCRP involves 15 government departments and agencies, with a budget of US$4.95 billion as of 2025.
The purpose of the USGCRP is to provide a “scientific foundation for climate change to support informed decision-making across the United States.”
Now, for the past three decades, USGCRP today’s equivalent of government contractors pushing climate shock funds under the guise of nonpartisan “science.”
For example, the latest report released by USGCRP in 2023 warned: “Severe climate risks to the United States will continue to grow.” According to these reports, federal departments and agencies have formulated regulatory policies and made funding decisions.
For the national climate assessment, USGCRP outsourced most of its work to contractors, with the main job being a large government contractor known as the ICF.
In June 2021, the ICF received a five-year, $34 million contract to help develop the National Climate Assessment (NCA). According to an official engaged in the assessment, ICF is basically controlled [NCA] Reported results.
“By providing all staff to the federal agency USGCRP, the ICF has had an undue impact on the federal government's narrative of global change and priorities,” the official explained.
“The ICF passes USGCRP, which has an undue impact on national climate assessment production every four years. [Except for] ICF Executive Director and Director of National Climate Assessment provides all staff related to USGCRP. ”
It can be said that only two full-time employees are listed on the USGCRP website. Furthermore, the two employees seem to be ideologically committed to the left-wing worldview.
One contributed to Democratic candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the other was her list of her preferred pronouns in Instagram Biology, calling herself a “climate scientist dedicated to preparing for the warmth of the world.”
However, the ICF may be a more important issue, as the contractor does not hide its left-wing partisan views. It seems that Dei and the commitment to climate shockism are strong on this dress.
As mentioned above, the ICF is a massive government contractor that received more than $2 billion in contracts during the Biden administration. Is the ICF effectively providing the Biden Administration with the “science” it needs?
It is worth noting that the ICF's share price fell from $171 per share on November 5 to $83 per share yesterday after Donald Trump's election victory last November.
Interestingly, the stock price fell this year in the same pattern as Trump was first elected in 2016. This factor alone makes it difficult to claim that the ICF will not make partisan views on climate “science”.
Houston Keene, a former journalist and current leader of the Transparency Group in the Government, believes:
“When a radical organization with obvious parties and economic conflict holds a pen, it is impossible to conduct a proper assessment of scientific integrity.”
This is reminiscent of large tobacco’s efforts to put research into its own “independent” researchers to study the health effects of smoking.
If you already have an established conclusion, spending money on “research” is just intended to provide a support narrative, which is exactly what the ICF seems to be doing.
