Flawed Climate Reports Used to Justify Fossil Fuel Expansion

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported on Politico’s findings that the Trump administration is promoting misleading narratives about climate change. Energy Secretary Chris Wright claimed climate science is exaggerated and framed as alarmist, but McIntyre explained that Politico found Wright’s review to be based on outdated, cherry-picked, and non-peer-reviewed studies. McIntyre noted that this misinformation supports the administration’s fossil fuel agenda while undermining renewable energy projects like offshore wind.
