Last Friday: US canceled climate research at the EPA.
Today: They pulled out of UNESCO (effective 31 dec 2026)
Tomorrow: The Grand Canyon? Yellowstone? Alaska’s wildlands?
﻿
Last Friday, the EPA eliminated its Office of Research & Development, axing 23% of its scientists and shutting climate and health science teams — saving $748M but undermining public health and environmental safeguards.

Today, the US anounced the will withdrew from UNESCO — the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization — leaving only one other UN member outside a global 194‑nation alliance dedicated to protecting science, culture, education, and heritage  ￼.

This isn’t bureaucracy. It’s a strategic retreat from truth.

🌍 What could be next?

Let’s be real — this isn’t about principles. It’s about power, profit, and the fear of science stopping them.

•  🛢 Oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, long contested globally. 
•  🏜 Uranium mining near the Grand Canyon, previously paused by international pressure. 
•  🌲 Gas pipelines near Yellowstone’s protected zones. 
•  ⛏ Stripped protections for Bears Ears, opening it to coal and mineral mining. 
•  🌋 Ignoring damage to Indigenous sacred sites.

These aren’t hypotheticals. They’ve been proposed, paused, or blocked — often due to scientific review and international pressure. But without UNESCO oversight and strong science institutions, they’ll be easier to advance — and harder to stop.

🏛 Strategic erasure?

UNESCO was born from the ashes of WWII to preserve memory, culture, and collective truth. Today’s retreat from science and global cooperation is not random — it’s a calculated erasure of anything that dares challenge unchecked power.

👁️ The question now is: Will we let them do it?

The more people who understand what’s happening — and why — the easier it is to stop it.
But the longer we wait to mobilize, the harder it will be to reverse the damage.

Make Science Great Again

🧠 When truth becomes a threat, science becomes resistance. 
﻿
Scientists are being silenced. Disinformation spreads faster than facts. We’re risking a future where science is sidelined — just when we need it most.
