“It's a parody of science.” Over 80 scientists criticized the Trump administration report

On Tuesday, over 80 scientific experts were criticized by the US President's Administration report on climate change – AFP agency said. Methodological errors, facts manipulation and references to discredited research were pointed out.

Published at the end of July this year. By the Ministry of Energy, the report undermines several scientific claims, especially in terms of an increase in the number of extreme weather phenomena.

“This report is a parody of science,” wrote Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the Texan University.

In the over 400-page document published on Tuesday, Dessler and over 80 other scientists analyzed the method and content of the Trump administration report and rejected the conclusions contained in it. In their analysis, they emphasized that the authors from July use “tactics similar to those used by the tobacco industry” to minimize the harmful effects of smoking on health.

“The report is based on rejected theses, supported by incorrect interpretation of scientific knowledge and bypassing important facts,” said Dessler.

After Trump's return to power, Washington made a radical return in climate policy. The American president withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement of 2015 on climate change, and the American Environmental Protection Agency withdrew from the recognition that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health. At the end of July, the Ministry of Energy published a report that undermined all warnings regarding climate change. (PAP)
