Trump Taps Climate Skeptics to Attack Science on Global Warming

The Trump administration has appointed five climate skeptics to write a report that challenges the scientific consensus on global warming. The report, which is being prepared for the National Climate Assessment, aims to undermine the established evidence on climate change. Scientists and climate experts have criticized the report, pointing out factual errors and misrepresentations of scientific data. They argue that the report is an attempt to politicize the assessment and undermine the credibility of climate science. The move is seen as part of the administration's broader efforts to downplay the threat of climate change and roll back environmental regulations. Critics have raised concerns about the integrity of the National Climate Assessment and the potential for the skeptics' report to influence policymaking on climate change.
