DOE Report Exposes Scientific Flaws In EPA’s CO2 Endangerment Finding
New DOE report calls EPA’s climate science into question amid major policy rethink.
by Dr. Roy Spencer  July 30, 2025, 8:24 AM

Around 3 p.m. ET today, 29 July 2025, a Department of Energy report entitled “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate” will be made available here. [emphasis, links added]

This is the report providing the scientific basis for today’s announced decision by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to reconsider the 2009 CO2 Endangerment Finding.


The report has 5 authors: John Christy, Judith Curry, Steve Koonin, Ross McKitrick, and me.

We were asked by Energy Secretary Wright a few months ago to produce this report. As the first few pages of the report will explain, we had no pressure to come to any conclusions; we asked for complete autonomy.

Also, throughout this whole process, we did not know what the decision-makers at the EPA were going to do regarding energy policy.

The best part -

"Another thing I learned was just how poorly the science of climate change has been communicated to the public.

For example, if you follow Roger Pielke Jr’s research, you will know that most of what the public has been told about climate change and severe weather has been a lie — and Roger still considers human climate change to be an issue worth addressing.

It’s just not a “crisis”, and nothing we see in severe weather has been tied to human greenhouse gas emissions.

And that’s not a skeptical talking point, it’s according to the IPCC(!)."
