Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 439

The Global Change Research Act of 1990 established the program that produces the National Climate Assessment. Chapter 2 separately asks that the same program be reshaped by executive order and that its output be critically analyzed and if required refused.

What the document actually says

“A high priority should be the repeal or reform of the Global Change Research Act of”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 439
That sentence, in plain words

One old law should be a top target. Repeal it or change it.

What this is about

A 1990 law set up climate research across government. It produces regular climate reports. The book says the law should be repealed or changed.

Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. EPA's final rule of February 18, 2026 rescinds the 2009 endangerment and contribution findings and repeals greenhouse gas emission standards for light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, all under section 202(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act. It is a large action on climate regulation but under a different statute. The Global Change Research Act of 1990, the research program it created and the National Climate Assessment it requires are untouched by it and by every other candidate. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
