Outrageous climate hoax: The pathetic pretext for the @theNASEM climate report against the Trump EPA proposal to rescind the endangerment finding is last year's flooding caused by Hurricane Helen, the Los Angels wildfires and the July 4 Texas flooding. Claimed emissions and/or "climate" links to these events were been easily debunked when these events occurred.

No surprise: The rigged @theNASEM report concludes that the Obama EPA's 2009 endangerment finding for greenhouse gases "was accurate, has stood the test of time and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence."🙄🙄🙄 2/
153 years of climate irony: This graph in the new @theNASEM endangerment finding report is fake:
1. The underlying data sources are different for every year. There were relatively few temperature stations in the early 20th century and many more now. Moreover, almost half of today's temperature data are guesstimated, not measured.
2. As there is no physical thing as "average US temperature" and the imaginary metric is guesstimated, the graph presents no estimates of uncertainty or margins of error.
3. It is quite ironic that on the day the Washington, DC-based NAS tries to pass this off as science, today's global warming in WashDC will be 10°F cooler than 153 years ago on September 17, 1872. 3/
@theNASEM .@theNASEM offers no actual explanation for why higher atmospheric CO2 is not warming the southeastern US.
Also, please note that there are no temperature stations in the region of Alaska that the NAS claims is warming the most. 4/
@theNASEM .@theNASEM has falsely implies that EPA heat wave data only exists since the 1960s (i.e., the chart on the left). But the EPA actually has heat wave data that goes back to 1895. But it ignored that for obvious reasons. 5/
.@theNASEM falsely implies that the increase atmospheric CO2 is solely due to fossil fuel emissions. But look at the circled increase from 2024. That increase is the largest on record but energy emissions only increased on the order of 1% in 2024. Read more: 6/
@theNASEM .@theNASEM report claims that methane emissions are increasing ozone (smog) levels and harming human health.
On the left is the trend in atmospheric methane. On the right is the trend in ozone levels in the US. Why are the trends in opposite directions?🤔 7/
@theNASEM .@theNASEM report claims that global warming and air pollution are increasing schizophrenia and suicide. 🙄 8/
@theNASEM .@theNASEM report admits that East Coast and Gulf Coast "sea level rise" is largely due to subsidence, groundwater withdrawal and oil/gas extraction. 9/
@theNASEM .@theNASEM report blames marine heat waves on emissions. But a recent study from Nature reports that marine heat waves are due to more sunshine from cleaner air and winds.

@theNASEM .@theNASEM report blames wildfires on emissions but that is just not the reality. x.com/JunkScience/st…
Moreover, show me a wildfire that began in an area that has been dried out by global warming. See e.g., x.com/JunkScience/st… 11/
A National Academy of Embarrassments: At the video release of the @theNASEM climate report today, NAS committee chair Shirley Tilghman (Princeton University) was asked and answered:
Q. What haven't climate predictions since 2009 come to pass?
A. [Our 15-person committee evaluated all the scientific literature since 2009 in five secret meetings and determined that the 2009 EPA endangerment finding was accurate.]🙄 12/
@theNASEM "Top scienists"? No. Just a clown car from @theNASEM. 13/ nytimes.com/2025/09/17/cli…
