The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) have created a committee purportedly to have an unbiased assessment of the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s proposal to repeal the regulation of carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) as a pollutant, which is known as the Endangerment Finding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NASEM announcement of the study stated that the committee should \u201ccontain the requisite expertise to address its task and whether the points of views of individual members are adequately balanced such that the committee as a whole can address its charge objectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our review of the backgrounds of committee members, we found that 13 of the 15 have a strong bias toward linking increasing atmospheric CO2<\/sub>\u00a0to supposedly dangerous global warming and a threat to human health. In other words, the committee was constructed to reinforce the very claim it is purportedly designed to test rather than carry out an impartial investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By populating the committee with members whose views embrace the so-called \u201cconsensus\u201d opinion that increasing CO2<\/sub>\u00a0is leading to dangerous warming and harm to human health, the NASEM has stacked the deck to arrange a pre-determined outcome which will oppose repeal of the Endangerment Finding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possibility of an honest evaluation of the science underlying CO2<\/sub>\u2019s actual role in the environment, which is that of a plant food necessary for all life, is unlikely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
