'The failure of [NAS] to serve as an honest broker for independent, objective advice on climate issues that affect people's lives worldwide is abundanatly clear'
- Anti-GOP bias at the NAS: ‘Science Insider has printed a courageous article about the left-wing bias of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences’

Gingrich: 'And I'd say to NAS don't assume that a vote by renowned scientists is necessarily true
Rebuttal: 'Believe it or not, the NAS does not opine on science. NAS does not pass judgment on scientific issues. Indeed, there is no mechanism to do so. The NAS has an affiliate called National Research Council...produces reports of varying quality that represent consensus views of the panels'
- Tax dollars used by NAS’ National Research Council for full ‘advocacy’ on ‘urgent’ climate ‘action’ — ‘This is the first time the National Academies came out with those strong words to say that’
NAS' NRC: 'Our climate specialists assist federal, regional, and international agencies with development of climate change policy'

- Report: ‘Science Corruption at the National Academies of Science’
- Climatologist ridicules NAS warming panel: ‘Another in a numbing succession of groupthink reports predicting end of the world unless U.S. dramatically reduces its emissions of Co2. Pronto’
Report 'blatantly political': NAS report is 'designed to be used by unelected regulators as scientific cover for what our legislature refuses to do, which is to enact expensive and intrusive restrictions on emissions of Co2' -- Several authors are environmental activists, and the National Academies' President, Ralph Cicerone, has been on a mission to demonize carbon dioxide for decades'

- NAS/NRC Climate Panel Fails The Laugh Test: ‘5 of 23 panelists are or were staffers for env. activist orgs’
'Prior to publishing the NAS/NRC report, 19 of 23 made statements claiming global warming is a human induced problem and/or we need to take action to reduce CO2. That means 83% of panel was clearly and obviously biased before being selected. To claim that a report from such a small panel, comprised primarily of non-climate scientists and environmental activists, is objective and scientifically authoritative is a joke'
- NRC predetermined outcome of report: ‘Of the first eight names, only one appears to be a climate scientist. The others are engineers, lawyers, and public policy types’
