UK Guardian: Scientists decry Trump energy chief’s plan to ‘update’ climate reports: ‘Exactly what Stalin did’
Excerpt: Ex-fossil fuel executive Chris Wright said administration is reviewing national assessments made by past governments
The US energy secretary, Chris Wright, is facing growing criticism from scientists who say their “worst fears” were realized when Wright revealed that the Trump administration would “update” the US’s premier climate crisis reports. Wright, a former oil and gas executive, told CNN’s Kaitlin Collins earlier this week that the administration was reviewing national climate assessment reports published by past governments.
“We’re reviewing them, and we will come out with updated reports on those and with comments on those reports,” said Wright, who is one of the main supporters of the administration’s “drill, baby, drill” agenda to boost fossil fuels, which are the primary cause of the climate crisis.
…
Asked about Wright’s comments on the national climate assessment reports, respected climate scientist Michael Mann said in an emailed comment to the Guardian: “This is exactly what Joseph Stalin did.”

Reality Check to UK Guardian and climate activists, scientists like Michael Mann, comparing consensus-busting reports to Stalin:
Climate Depot’s Marc Morano: “The old federal National Climate Assessments were pure political garbage reports masquerading as ‘science.’ Challenging the climate ‘consensus’ and updating federal climate reports is not a Joe Stalin move. Instead, what the Trump administration has accomplished in just eight short months, dismantling the climate cult — is a marvel to behold. Authentic dissenting scientific voices are now the voice of accurate federal climate science reports.
Scientists around the world should welcome the fact that the Trump administration is creating a scientific re-examination of ‘global warming’ and fostering a healthy climate debate. No longer do the American people have to have their tax dollars pay for predetermined climate fear propaganda manufactured by the likes of Michael Mann and the United Nations. Cheers!”
