A recent report from a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) working group on climate has drawn significant criticism from the scientific community. Climate scientist Andrew Dessler (@andrewdessler.com) released a 400+ page comment signed by numerous other scientists, asserting that the DOE report promotes scientific disinformation. Dessler's post on the matter, which has received 367 likes and 191 reposts, states, "The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science." This strong reaction from the scientific community indicates a major controversy over the report's findings and methodology, and raises concerns about the integrity of climate science communication at the federal level.
