US EditionOver 85 scientists say Energy Dept. climate report lacks merit
Over 2,300 public comments and a 439-page expert review highlight extensive errors and bias favoring fossil fuels in the Energy Department's climate report, sparking ongoing legal challenges.
- On Tuesday, more than 85 climate scientists submitted over 400 pages of public comments rebutting the July 29 Department of Energy report in Washington, D.C.
- The rebuttal arose from the DOE report, authored by five handpicked skeptics, which portrays climate change as less harmful and challenges established science amid efforts to roll back pollution regulations.
- Scientists criticized the report for cherry-picking data, misrepresenting research, ignoring negative impacts like heat on crops and sea level rise, and manufacturing uncertainty on extreme weather and agriculture.
- Andrew Dessler called the report a 'badly written blog post' that 'makes a mockery of science,' while Rutgers' Robert Kopp deemed it 'not scientifically credible' and the American Meteorological Society identified 'five foundational flaws.'
- The critiques suggest the DOE report serves to justify rolling back climate protections, but it remains uncertain how the Energy Department will address the extensive public comments.
