Leading Climate Scientist Rebuts “Factually Incorrect” US Government Climate Claims

Climate scientists led by Benjamin Santer said a US Department of Energy report downplayed evidence of human-caused warming.

They argued the report misrepresented key climate signals, including the atmospheric fingerprint of greenhouse-gas warming.

The researchers warned it should not be used as a basis for regulatory decisions.

The dispute could affect U.S. climate rules and efforts to weaken emissions controls.
