The National Academy of Sciences just released its so-called review of the Trump EPA’s proposal to rescind the endangerment finding for greenhouse gases. It is every bit the rigged and predetermined outcome predicted.
Not only does the report conclude that the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding was correct, it claims that the evidence now for greenhouse gas emissions causing harm is greater than it was in 2009. But what was the process by which the NAS committee reached this conclusion?
The Trump EPA formally proposed to rescind the endangerment finding on Aug. 1. The NAS announced that it would launch its own review six days later on Aug. 7. This was a surprise since the NAS generally only offers scientific advice to the federal government upon request of the federal government. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what NAS president Marcia McNutt had to say about that in April 2020 when people urged the NAS to tackle the COVID crisis: “Y’all have it backwards. The charter states that the government calls on the Academies to conduct studies, not the other way around.”
In its Aug. 7 announcement, the NAS set a deadline of Aug. 27 for the public to submit information to the committee and, perplexingly, a Sept. 11 deadline for comments on the composition of the proposed committee.
