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 Presumably its work product(s) and submitted public comments will all be withdrawn.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.
DOE Climate Report vs. the ‘Climate Expert Review’: Climate Industrial Complex strikes back at dissent: ‘The same scientists who have long peddled the myth that CO2 is a pollutant’

UK Guardian: U Penn Prof. Michael Mann declares the Trump admin challenging climate ‘consensus’ & ‘updating’ of climate reports is ‘Exactly what 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 and the United Nations.”
