30 July 2025

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has published a new report entitled A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the US Climate, evaluating existing peer-reviewed literature and government data on climate impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and providing a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.

The study was released concurrently with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rule to rescind the 2009 GHG Endangerment Finding.

Among the key findings, the report concludes:

The report was developed by the 2025 Climate Working Group, a group of five independent scientists assembled by Energy Secretary Chris Wright with diverse expertise in physical science, economics, climate science and academic research. The authors are: John Christy, Judith Curry, Steven Koonin, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer.
