**Source:** https://www.zerohedge.com/political/devastating-us-report-lays-bare-abuses-settled-climate-science-and-its-role-net-zero

## Summary

• **US Department of Energy releases groundbreaking report challenging "settled" climate science and Net Zero policies**, compiled by five eminent scientists, systematically dismantling claims and methodologies of climate activists

• **Climate models criticized as offering "little guidance"** on CO2 impacts, with warming projections varying by a factor of three despite decades of research, making them unreliable for policy decisions

• **Extreme weather claims debunked**: Most extreme weather events are not increasing, North American sea levels show no rising trend, and weather attribution studies are challenged by natural climate variation

• **Weather attribution studies exposed as designed for "lawfare"**, with World Weather Attribution (WWA) criticized for non-peer-reviewed findings, methodological issues, and openly shaping analyses for litigation purposes

• **Planet "greening" from CO2 largely ignored**: Report highlights thousands of studies showing plant and crop benefits from atmospheric CO2, with 25-50% of planet experiencing greening, yet IPCC summaries omit this topic

• **RCP8.5 climate scenario condemned as "implausible"**, despite being the basis for most academic climate impact studies and mainstream media stories about future climate disasters

• **Report significance**: Unlike think tank papers, this has official government status with independent authors from NASA, IPCC, and major universities directly challenging prevailing policy narratives

• **Mainstream media blackout**: BBC, Guardian, and other outlets have largely ignored this report despite its importance in exposing decades of climate science censorship
