The Climate Reality Project: DOE Disbands Group That Authored Controversial Climate Report
The Department of Energy (DOE) gathered a group of known climate skeptics to author a report on climate change. As expected, the report was filled with junk science to spread doubt about the reality of climate change. Climate Reality delivered nearly 4,500 messages opposing the report during the public comment period, joining climate scientists who added over 400 pages of detailed analysis of all the flaws. Following the public comment period and a lawsuit from the Environmental Defense Fund and Union of Concerned Scientists, DOE disbanded the group of scientists responsible for the report.
