It is literally zero surprise that they knew their hand-picked climate deniers weren’t putting out real science.

This shameful abdication—an economic, moral, and political failure—will harm Americans’ health, homes, and economic well-being.
It ignores scientific fact and common-sense observations to serve big political donors.
