1. From the article:

   > The latest IPCC synthesis report, released two years ago, was a vast undertaking involving 721 volunteer scientists around the world. It states that it is “unequivocal” that human activity has heated the planet, which has “led to widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people.”
   >
   > By contrast, the Trump administration report was crafted by five handpicked scientists who are seen as having fringe or contrarian views by mainstream climate scientists, with no peer review. The experts behind the report have previously denied being climate deniers. The energy department did not respond to a question about the authors.

   […]

   > “The report they produced should be thought of as a law brief from attorneys defending their client, carbon dioxide,” Dessler said. “Their goal is not to weigh the evidence fairly but to build the strongest possible case for CO2’s innocence.”

   Evolving from the Environmental Protection Agency to the *Fossil Fuel Defense Agency* in record time.

2. >the report being used to justify the mass rollback of climate regulations has many claims based on long-debunked research

   Typical. Trot out old numbers and discredited data, completely ignoring current science and far lower costs.
