Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work

wired.com Molly Taft 2025-12-17 11:31:16

A new report released yesterday by the Department of Energy purports to provide “a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.” But nine scientists across several different disciplines told WIRED that the report mishandled citations of their work: by cherrypicking data, misrepresenting findings, drawing erroneous conclusions, or leaving out relevant context. This report was introduced on the same day that the EPA announced it would seek to roll back the endangerment fin

It’s ironic, but we here at WIRED have long been wireless charging fans. Not having to fumble with cables is nice! Most wireless charging devices these days follow the Qi (pronounced chee) standard, which has taken its time reaching ubiquity. (The user experience has not always been great.) The Wireless Power Consortium, which manages the charging protocol, announced the next-generation version called Qi2 in early 2023.
