Russia President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that climate change doubters "may not be at all silly." In an interview by CNBC at the International Arctic Forum in Arkhangelsk, Russia, Putin was asked about the rollback of environmental regulations from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. "Those people who are not in agreement with opponents (of climate change) may not be at all silly," Putin replied via an interpreter.

Climate policy expert Donna Laframboise: U.S. government rules "in no uncertain terms, repudiate the process by which UN climate reports are produced. The US government says political tampering with scientific findings is a violation of scientific integrity.

1. IPCC reports are extensively tampered with by political officials.
2. IPCC reports therefore lack scientific integrity.
3. People who rely on IPCC reports are basing their decisions on documents that have no scientific integrity.

The 2017 DOE policy says:

Under no circumstance may anyone, including a public affairs officer, ask or direct any researcher to alter the record of scientific findings or conclusions. 

…personnel will not suppress or alter scientific or technological findings, or intimidate or coerce…others to alter or censor scientific or technological findings or conclusions.

There’s nothing equivocal about these statements...I am therefore happy to report that this same government has, in no uncertain terms, repudiated the process by which UN climate reports are produced.
