DOE’s skeptical climate report could create problems for EPA’s efforts to repeal CO2 Endangerment Finding
https://www.eenews.net/articles/doe-climate-report-could-create-problems-for-epa/ By JEAN CHEMNICK The agency may need to ditch its scientific justification for repealing the endangerment finding that underpins most climate rules. Science played only a bit part in EPA’s July proposal to scrap the scientific basis for most of its climate rules. In the final version, it may barely make an appearance. The […]
Media’s Psyop Against Five Scientists Questioning ‘Climate Change’
https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/22/opinion-medias-psyop-against-climate-scientists-vijay-jayaraj/ By Vijay Jayaraj is a Science and Research Associate at the CO2 Coalition A coordinated offensive unfolded with precision Sept. 2 against five scientists questioning the popular media’s most sacred bogeyman – the hypothesis that human-induced emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to overheat the planet. The scientists attacked had written a report published in July by […]

The NAS Climate Report: A Biased Rush To Rubber-Stamp Costly Regulations
https://townhall.com/columnists/franke-lasee/2025/09/18/the-nas-climate-report-a-biased-rush-to-rubber-stamp-costly-regulations-n2663542 By Frank Lasee The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) claims its fast-tracked report, due September 2025, will objectively assess the EPA’s 2025 proposal to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding (EF), which regulates CO2 as a pollutant. However, the committee’s composition and process suggest political motivation—not scientific rigor—as nearly every member of […]
NYT’s climate reporter Lisa Friedman on how easy it would be for ‘the next Democratic president to just undo’ Trump’s climate moves: ‘It would be a long and difficult process’ – Supreme Court ending government’s regulation of CO2 is what ‘climate activists fear the most’

Kushner – I’m the editor of this newsletter. President Trump has proposed to cancel the government’s 16-year-old finding that carbon dioxide emissions endanger public health. Doing so would mean the Environmental Protection Agency could no longer limit emissions from cars or power plants. The Trump administration once merely downplayed […]
Green Groups Sue To Silence Scientists Who Questioned Climate Alarmism In DOE Report
Green Groups Sue To Silence Scientists Who Questioned Climate Alarmism In DOE Report by Jeff Luse The EPA’s move to revisit its endangerment finding has sparked lawsuits to void the DOE report and censor its climate working group. In July, the Department of Energy (DOE) released a report challenging many of the mainstream narratives surrounding climate change. [emphasis, links […]
CNN: Trump admin dissolves group that authored controversial report sowing doubt in the severity of climate change – But DOE will not withdraw the report
https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/climate/trump-dissolves-contrarian-group By Ella Nilsen Climate scientists are declaring victory after the Trump administration dissolved a working group of five well-known climate contrarians that authored a recent federal report questioning the severity of climate change and even portraying it as potentially beneficial. A letter dated September 3 from Energy Sec. Chris Wright confirming the dissolution of the group was sent […]
DOE Climate Working Group RIP – Skeptical climate report disbands over lawsuit filing by environmental groups on procedural grounds
https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/doe-climate-working-group-rip By ROGER PIELKE JR. Excerpt: We rarely break news here at THB, but we are today.The Department of Energy’s Climate Working Group (CWG) was disbanded on September 3 and its work under DOE will not continue in any manner. Presumably its work product(s) and submitted public comments will all be withdrawn. This will be […]
Pielke Jr.: ‘Science is Not Team Sport’ – ‘The blue team response to DOE (climate report) shows that climate assessment is broken’
Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: I took a look at the DK25 (Trump Admin’s DOE dissenting climate) report in my areas of expertise, as I did with the DOE CWG (85 scientists pushing back on DOE report), and I found numerous statements that were simply false — among them that World Weather Attribution was not created with litigation in mind, that NOAA”s “billion dollar disasters” (RIP) tabulation was scientifically valid, that SRES had 6 not 40 scenarios, and that RCP8.5 has not been the most commonly used scenario in research and assessment. DK25 ignored all of our research that was accurately cited by DOE CWG.
DK25 also includes a bizarre claim regarding the detection of changes in extreme weather events:2
“the absence of statistically significant trends in the historical records does not mean that changes are not occurring”3
Actually, that is exactly what the absence of detection means — don’t take it from me, take it from the IPCC, which defines a change in climate as follows:
A change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g., by using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer.
The assumption here is that if you find some degree of merit in the DOE CWG then climate policy is doomed and if you instead side with DK25, then carbon dioxide regulation is on its way. Viewed from this perspective, scientific assessments are ”tactics” to be mobilized to support political action or delay.
Such a perspective turns scientific assessment into partisan politics. Scientific integrity inevitably suffers.

It’s time to reflect on what we might learn from the responses to this Report. Of particular relevance is the report that was issued earlier today, led by Andrew Dessler.
