href=\"https:\/\/co2coalition.substack.com\/p\/medias-psyop-against-climate-scientists\">CO2 Coalition<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Vijay Jayaraj<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A coordinated offensive unfolded with precision September 2 against five scientists questioning the popular media\u2019s most sacred bogeyman \u2013 the hypothesis that human-induced emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to overheat the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scientists attacked had written a report published in July by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2025-07\/DOE_Critical_Review_of_Impacts_of_GHG_Emissions_on_the_US_Climate_July_2025.pdf\">A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delivering virtually identical narratives, proclaiming that 85 \u201cclimate experts\u201d had discreditedthe DOE report, were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/energy-department-greenhouse-gas-report-climate-experts\/\">CBS<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/09\/02\/nx-s1-5521384\/energy-report-scientists-climate-change\">NPR<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/dozens-scientists-push-back-fundamentally-flawed-department-energy\/story?id=125211760\">ABC<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/09\/02\/climate\/climate-change-report-trump-administration\">CNN<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/09\/02\/climate\/climate-science-report-energy-department.html\">The New York Times<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/environment\/story\/2025-09-03\/leading-scientists-rebuke-trump-administrations-climate-report\">Los Angeles Times<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/cop\/over-85-scientists-say-energy-dept-climate-report-lacks-merit-2025-09-02\/\">Reuters<\/a>&nbsp;and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Language in the news reporting was nearly indistinguishable, and the focus identical: a number (\u201c85\u201d or \u201cdozens\u201d), a designated group (\u201cscientists\u201d or \u201cexperts\u201d) and a verdict (\u201cflawed,\u201d \u201clacks merit,\u201d \u201cfull of errors\u201d). This is not the natural variance of independent newsrooms pursuing a story. This is the result of a shared press release, a common source or a backroom agreement to push a common story line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a master class in singing the same tune that would make any propaganda ministry proud \u2013 a calibrated flash mob of climate-fear messaging in an explicitly partisan tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fooling the Public<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first volley of the assault was a classic ad hominem attack. The authors of the DOE report, five of the world\u2019s most distinguished and academically rigorous researchers of climate issues, were immediately branded as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/subscriber.politicopro.com\/article\/eenews\/2025\/09\/17\/national-academies-clap-back-at-trump-team-on-climate-00568553\">Trump Team<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a deliberately dishonest tactic. The authors \u2013 Drs. John Christy, Judith Curry, Steven Koonin, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer \u2013 are not political operatives. They are scientists with decades of experience and hundreds of peer-reviewed publications.<br><br>Dr. Koonin served as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/realitycheck\/the-press-office\/president-obama-announces-more-key-administration-posts-32009\">Undersecretary for Science<\/a>&nbsp;in the Department of Energy under President Obama, a fact conveniently omitted from most of the media\u2019s hit pieces. Drs. Christy and Spencer are world-renowned for developing the first global temperature dataset from satellites, for which they received&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/aqua.nasa.gov\/content\/roy-spencer-us-amsr-e-science-team-leader\">NASA\u2019s Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No mention that Ross McKitrick is a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uoguelph.ca\/lang\/people\/ross-mckitrick\">Canadian academic<\/a>&nbsp;with no political ties. No mention that Judith Curry stepped away from academia partly because of the politicization of climate research and previously had been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedom-research.org\/p\/interview-dr-judith-curry-on-global\">much sought after for her research<\/a>&nbsp;into hurricane intensity.<br><br>Most critically, the authors themselves have stated that there was no oversight or compulsion from anyone in any government department during the creation of their report. They say they crafted the report&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/the-truth-about-climate-change-lies-middle-steve-koonin?utm_medium=organic-social\">independently<\/a>, with no interference from Energy Secretary Chris Wright. But the media gloss over that. Instead, the scientists are derided as the \u201cTrump team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In stark contrast to the vilified DOE authors, the 85 individuals who signed the critical letter were anointed as \u201cclimate experts\u201d and \u201cleading scientists.\u201d Yet, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1PwAR8I9YYmPhbQ6CRekHkroJGMbjbX7l\/view\">list of signers<\/a>&nbsp;is padded with individuals whose specializations are, to put it generously, tangential to the core issues of climate science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy is clear: assemble a gaggle of academics, label them \u201cclimate experts\u201d and use the sheer number to create an illusion of overwhelming scientific consensus against the DOE report.<br><br><strong>Sell Lies, Instill Fear With a \u2018Black Mirror\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding to the theater, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has announced a panel to review the DOE report. But here\u2019s the twist: The panel is headed not by a climate scientist, but by a biologist. Out of the panel\u2019s members,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/our-work\/anthropogenic-greenhouse-gases-and-us-climate-evidence-and-impacts\">only a few have\u00a0<\/a>direct expertise in atmospheric science. Yet the announcement was trumpeted as if the nation\u2019s top climate experts were mobilized.<br><br>Predicting catastrophe is a media business model. NPR\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/03\/20\/1162711459\/cut-emissions-quickly-to-save-lives-scientists-warn-in-a-new-u-n-report\">warned<\/a>\u00a0of \u201cirreversible\u201d sea-level rise in 2023, ignoring tide gauge records that show\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/andymaypetrophysicist.com\/2024\/08\/04\/is-sea-level-rise-accelerating\/\">no acceleration<\/a>\u00a0beyond historical norms. News outlets regularly report on \u201cunprecedented\u201d floods, yet data indicate\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pure.iiasa.ac.at\/id\/eprint\/10982\/\">no uptick in floods<\/a>\u00a0due to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If everybody believed climate impacts were manageable, the case for sweeping carbon taxes, bans on fossil fuels and subsidies for wind and solar energy would collapse. That\u2019s why the DOE report \u2013 noting forecasting uncertainty, adaptation possibilities and economic trade-offs \u2013 is so threatening. It undermines a narrative of an \u201cexistential\u201d threat or imminent collapse. So, the media did not debate the five scientists; they sought to destroy them and their report. Not with data, but with labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a psyops initiative like depicted in the Netflix dystopian series \u201cBlack Mirror.\u201d The media outlets are not mirrors reflecting reality; they are black screens projecting a manufactured one. They have become instruments of a political agenda, sacrificing journalistic integrity to enforce a specific viewpoint on climate change. They operate not as individual watchdogs but as a wolf pack. They decide what you should think and seek to broadcast it in unison until you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This commentary was first published by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2025\/09\/22\/opinion-medias-psyop-against-climate-scientists-vijay-jayaraj\/\">Daily Caller<\/a>&nbsp;on September 22, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/co2coalition.org\/teammember\/vijay-jayaraj\/\">Vijay Jayaraj<\/a>&nbsp;is a Science and Research Associate at the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/co2coalition.org\/\">CO\u2082 Coalition<\/a>, Fairfax, Virginia.
