The CO2 Coalition and Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) are calling on the Trump administration to fix what they call “flaws” in the influential National Climate Assessment (NCA). These flaws, according to the groups, include a reliance on unrealistic emission projections, contradictions, and false information on heat waves, hurricanes and wildfires.
The letter to Michael Kratsios, Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy includes a report by Dr. William Happer, professor emeritus in the Department of Physics at Princeton University, and Dr. Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of atmospheric science at MIT. The report outlines a number of similar issues with the NCA in its reporting on sea level rise, the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and recent warming, and hurricanes.
In light of these scientific integrity violations and OSTP’s obligations under EO 14303 “Restoring Gold Standard Science”, the OMB Guidelines, and the IQA, we formally request that OSTP reevaluate NCA 5 and correct the errors that have been identified as well as any others that do not comport with Gold Standard Science.
