Over 85 scientists criticized a Trump administration report downplaying climate change. They argue the report contains errors, misrepresentations, and cherry-picked data to align with the president's agenda. The scientists claim human-caused climate change is real, causing dangerous impacts, and leading to significant warming. They likened the report to the tobacco industry's efforts to deny smoking's health risks. The administration's report, authored by five handpicked researchers, acknowledges warming but minimizes its economic damage.
