Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out.

Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

On July 29, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a report from its Climate Working Group (CWG). This report features prominently in the EPA's reconsideration of its 2009 Endangerment Finding. In response, over 85 scientists have come together to write a comprehensive review, which is

New study on linking wealth-based emissions to climate impacts: We find that 2/3 of global warming is attributable to the wealthiest 10% and so are climate extremes.

🚨 Research by VUB and ETH Zurich shows millions of children will suffer most from heatwaves, crop failures, floods, fires and storms due to climate change. We must act now to protect their future!

This accelerated drying is driven by decreasing runoff rates in spring, summer and autumn in response to warmer conditions. Winter runoff rates are increasing in the #alps likely due to changing snow dynamics.
