So what's happening here is the current leaders of the Environmental Protection Agency are really looking to overturn a key legal tool that's been used since 2009 to justify climate regulations on a host of industries, from vehicles, from power plants, and from the oil and gas industry, all of which emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that scientists say are warming the planet.
So in previous years, what's occurred is that the U.S.
government has adopted almost a scientific method at assessing what the effects of climate change are and the causes of it.
The National Climate Assessment, there have been five of them since 2000.
Congress has mandated this report.
This report has been put together by 14 federal agencies.
It's taken several years and several layers of review to put together.
And it basically gives sort of an overview of the science and what scientists know now, what we know now about climate change.
What this administration has done is really an end-around approach.
the National Climate Assessment and asked some skeptics of climate change science.
Some of them believe that the future warming is being exaggerated.
Some of them have written that the scientific climate models are inaccurate and not working.
Some of the authors of this report have said that the
Current climate warming is within the natural variability that we see, and there may be other causes for climate warming, whether it's a brighter sun or volcanoes or other natural sources of carbon dioxide and so forth.
So what we've seen here is an end run around sort of the established climate science, but also the government process for using that science to devise regulations on a host of industries.
So what the report has done is taken bits of uncertainty from whether it's climate models or other reports to sort of sow doubt into the established climate science across the globe and in the United States.
So again, selectively choosing facts to fit the argument, which is certainly a legal way to do it,
But the scientists that I've talked to saying that they're missing the big picture and they're missing really what's happening on planet Earth.
Right.
So this report basically backs up the endangerment finding, which is a legal tool.
