Die Climate working Group besteht aus folgenden Wissenschaftlern:
Roy W. Spencer
- Klimatologe, früherer NASA Wissenschaftler.
- In seinem Blog legt er seine Ansichten zum kürzlich veröffentlichten Report dar:
- long-term warming has been weaker than expected
- it’s not even known how much of that warming is due to human greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
- there are good reasons to believe the warming and increasing CO2 effects on agriculture have so far been more beneficial than harmful to humanity
- there have been no long-term changes in severe weather events than can be tied to human GHG emissions
- the few dozen climate models now being used to inform policymakers regarding energy policy are not fit for purpose

US Energieminister Chris Wright hatte den Bericht mit folgenden Worten in Auftrag gegeben:
What I’ve found is that media coverage often distorts the science. Many people—even well-meaning ones—walk away with a view of climate change that is exaggerated or incomplete. To provide clarity, I asked a diverse team of independent experts to summarize the current state of climate science, with a focus on how it relates to the United States.
To correct course, we need open, respectful, and informed debate. That’s why I’m inviting public comment on this report. Honest scrutiny and scientific transparency should be at the heart of our policymaking.

To provide clarity, I asked a diverse team of independent experts to summarize the current state of climate science, with a focus on how it relates to the United States. I didn’t select these authors because we always agree—far from it. In fact, they may not always agree with each other. But I chose them for their rigor, honesty, and willingness to elevate the debate. I exerted no control over their conclusions. What you’ll read are their words, drawn from the best available data and scientific assessments.
