📣The report says EPA’s Endangerment Finding was “accurate, has stood the test of time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence. Much of the understanding of climate change that was uncertain or tentative in 2009 has now been resolved by scientific research.” bit.ly/4mp2kxI

The comment period for a sham “climate science” report commissioned by the DOE closed earlier this week, and the verdict is in: the scientific community has overwhelmingly and resoundingly rejected the report. UCS submitted comments on the report, and here are the four key points we made:

Today, I alongside colleagues of @ucs.org have submitted our public comments to the DOE report that completely undermines climate science and misinforms the American Public about climate change and its impacts to our well-being and our environment.
The Trump Administration is using tactics straight out of the fossil fuel industry playbook to undermine climate science—but we won't let them get away with it.
Today, we're voicing our strong opposition to the deeply flawed, anti-science report commissioned by the DOE.

Our comment on the DOE CWG report is done. It tips the scales at 439 pages, approx. 3x longer than the DOE report.
This is related to Brandolini's law: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
Example: refuting one sentence.

Notably, websites like heat.gov, drought.gov, and weather.gov remain untouched. So why target Climate.gov? My take: it’s a troubling attempt to bury vital climate science, making it harder for the public to easily access and use this information.
