Records of Trump Administration’s Illegal “Climate Working Group” Available Online
Environmental Defense Fund, Union of Concerned Scientists Obtained Documents By Court Order Related to Attack on Endangerment
Trump Energy Secretary Chris Wright secretly arranged for five hand-picked climate contrarians to form the “Climate Working Group” last year. They were assigned to secretly draft a biased report challenging the overwhelming scientific consensus underpinning the Endangerment Finding – EPA's foundational scientific finding that climate pollution endangers public health and the environment. That report was kept hidden until it was unveiled as part of the Trump administration EPA’s proposal to overturn the Endangerment Finding last July.

The "energy secretary" is a climate change denier who's been using the full power of the US state to broadcast climate change denial. Good on EDF and UCS for freeing these documents so that everyone can see for themselves the level of treachery and deceit involved.

D.O.E. Panel to Question Climate Science Was Unlawful, Judge Rules

The researchers produced a report that was central in a Trump administration effort to stop regulating climate pollution.

The New York Times

“Since at least the 1990s, emissions-intensive industries such as coal and gas and their lobby groups have had an outsized influence on climate policy. This includes groups such as the Minerals Council of Australia, which represents BHP, Rio Tinto and Whitehaven Coal, and Australian Energy Producers, which lobbies on behalf of BP, Shell and Woodside, among others.”

I’ve been in Caribbean waters that were over 90 degrees. It freaked me out. Aquatic life can’t live long in this temperature. All of humanity needs to focus on this extensional crisis.
Instead MAGA attacks Venezuela and threatens other countries. We need leaders that will address this threat to life, not drill for oil.

Are we in a sixth mass extinction?

We’re in a biodiversity crisis, but it's tough to compare it to past periods of mass death.
