Climate (cult) Scientists Give Trump Bad Grade For Trying To Kill Endangerment Finding

They’re big mad, because ditching the Obama era endangerment finding undermines the cult scientist’s ability to generate media appearances and revenue for themselves

Scientists give harsh grades to Trump administration work aimed at undoing a key climate finding

Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?

Two key documents from the Trump administration aimed at revoking the long-standing finding that climate change is dangerous were filled with errors, bias and distortions, according to dozens of scientists surveyed by The Associated Press.

One of the reports argues that sea ice decline in the Arctic has been small, but uses data from the Antarctic to make the point. It uses a French-focused study on climate-related crop losses for a claim about the U.S. — a generalization the author said didn’t work because of significant differences in climate and agriculture. And after saying decades-old wildfire statistics aren’t reliable, the report reproduces them in a graphic anyway, making it appear fires were worse a century ago than they have been more recently.

Scientists noted those basic errors, but the most common critique from the vast majority of the 64 who answered AP’s questions was that the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy ignored, twisted or cherry-picked information to manufacture doubt about the severity and threat of climate change.

LOL, everything the Warmists use is cherry picked, altered fraudulently, er, excuse me, smoothed, or both

The Trump administration in July proposed revoking a 2009 government finding that climate change is a threat to public health and welfare, a concept known as the “endangerment” finding that is backed by mainstream science. Overturning it could pave the way for cutting a range of rules that limit pollution from cars, power plants and other sources. (snip)

AP reached out to some 350 scientists by email — nearly all the lead authors of research cited in the Trump administration’s work, plus another 139 climate experts in science, health and economics who are prominent in the field. Fifty-three of the 64 scientists who responded — including outside researchers not mentioned by the reports — gave the EPA and DOE documents a negative review. Seven praised them. The remaining four took no clear position.

In 15 cases, scientists whose work was cited said it was misused, misinterpreted or taken out of context.

Well, it’s not shocking that scientists who take the cult line are backing the cult, is it? Too bad the AP didn’t ask the scientists and “experts” didn’t ask if they had given up their own use of fossil fuels.
