This speech forecasts continued US government resolve to counter multifaceted and often very serious challenges posed by the behavior of the government of the People’s Republic of China, and accompanying greater American support for Taiwan. It explains the reasons for US resolve developed over the past six years, highlighting the role of bi-partisan majorities in Congress. It anticipates smooth continuity in the US government resolve if President Biden is reelected and some serious complications if the former President Trump is reelected, though the hardening of US policy against China will endure.

This article is the second in a two-part account of the history of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The narrative starts with the move of the SSC activities to its Waxahachie site in Texas and the subsequent organization of its administrative structure. The technical design changes incorporated into the site-specific design are described together with their impact on costs. The principal activities at the SSC — technical progress, conventional construction and planning of the experimental program — are described briefly. The article then discusses the efforts to obtain international collaboration, the growth of the opposition both among the public at large and in Congress, and the final events leading to termination of the SSC. It ends with some subjective views on what went wrong with the SSC and on the prospects for construction of large scientific facilities in the US in the future.

Every year there are as many as 20,000 scientific papers and reports published about the science of climate and climate change, and the resulting impacts and policy implications. The vast majority of these publications are rigorously done and are peer reviewed before publication, Since about 1990, on a time scale of roughly every 4–6 years, top experts are being asked to assess the state of the science and the implications of the changes occurring in the climate. Internationally, this occurs through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and for the United States, through the US National Climate Assessments (NCAs). These assessments provide important input to policy considerations, at international, national, and local levels…

The article on the Climate Science Special Report: 4th U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA4), Volume I, summarizes the basis and the requirements for developing U.S. national climate assessments. The reader is referred to that material, as it is not repeated here. Instead, the focus in this chapter is on NCA4, Volume II, which is an assessment of climate-related impacts, risks, and adaptation in the United States. NCA4, Volume II (USGCRP, 2018), was published on November 23, 2018, and the entire assessment report is available at NCA2018.globalchange.gov…
