WASHINGTON, D.C — The U.S. Department of Energy’s on the dangers of greenhouse gas emissions will ultimately harm communities, public health, and wildlife and the fight to slow and reverse the climate crisis. For decades, the federal government has relied on a robust body of scientific evidence and extensive peer-reviewed research that proves greenhouse gases directly fuel worsening climate-related threats including extreme weather, air pollution, habitat loss and heat-related illness and death.

“The link between greenhouse gases and harm to people humans and wildlife is clear — and has been affirmed by report after report and assessment after assessment for decades,” said Diane Pataki, chief scientist for the National Wildlife Federation. “Downplaying the underlying cause of the climate crisis will not solve it. The Department of Energy hand-picked five scientists to attempt to overrule the consensus of thousands. They have provided no sensible justification for weakening protections against greenhouse gas pollution and refusing to carry out the government’s duty to protect the health of people and wildlife.”
