> The group of climate scientists found several examples where the DOE authors cherry-picked or misrepresented climate science in the agency's report. For instance, in the DOE report the authors claim that rising carbon dioxide can be a "net benefit" to U.S. agriculture, neglecting to mention the negative impacts of more heat and climate-change fueled extreme weather events on crops.
>
> The DOE report also states that there is no evidence of more intense "meteorological" drought in the U.S. or globally, referring to droughts that involve low rainfall. But the dozens of climate scientists point out that this is misleading, because higher temperatures and more evaporation -- not just low rainfall -- can lead to and exacerbate droughts. They say that there are, in fact, many studies showing how climate change has exacerbated droughts.

Given the background of spotless honesty so far, I'm trully amazed. Let me sit down for a moment.
BTW, MAGATs, the "ultimatum" to putin has lapsed, and right now putin is executing another massive rocket attack against civil infrastructure in Ukraine.
What is the trumpistan king who made the ultimatum going to do?

We should categorize these not as 'errors', but as deliberate lies in the service of the fossil fuel industry, who Trump openly promised would get whatever they wanted if they helped him win the election.
The section on the models is hilarious (Score:2)
P 123 It shows the good fit of the climate models to the period 1850-1990 ignoring the fact that that is the data the models are trained on. Great the models fit their training data. big fucking whoop.

At this point, if any other country attacks the US, we'll simply launch retaliatory ICBMs against ourselves. Given who has the launch codes.
