Biden White House removes Trump-era scientist from overseeing climate report
White House officials have transferred Trump-appointed scientist Betsy Weatherhead from her position overseeing the US government's report on the effects of climate change, a senior administration official told CNN.
The move is part of a larger effort by the Biden administration to clean house of President Donald Trump's political appointees in scientific roles. The EPA recently wiped out the entire Scientific Advisory Board put in place by Trump administration.

The move comes as the White House is set to host a climate summit on Thursday and Friday and release 2030 emissions goals for the United States.
Weatherhead was appointed to her role at the National Climate Assessment by Kelvin Droegemeier, who served as the director of OSTP under Trump.
