Contrarian #climate assessment from #US #government draws swift pushback
Researchers say #DOE cherry-picks data to downplay threat of #greenhousegases
Department of Energy released its own climate assessment, as part of a campaign by the #US EPA to overturn its landmark endangerment finding from 2009, which found that burning #fossilfuels endangers #publichealth and established #carbondioxide as a #pollutant #EPA could regulate.

Dappled Beginnings
I came across four white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) this morning while Charlie and I were out on our walk. The doe stood watchful, her head raised as three polka-dotted fawns grazed quietly at the edge of the forest. She clearly saw us—me and Charlie—but seemed to sense that we posed little threat. Still, as we passed, the fawns slipped into the woods with calm precision, no panic, just a gentle retreat. I wished I’d had my other camera with me—it has twice the range, and the deer were pretty far off. But the lens on that setup is so long, I’d look like one of the Three Musketeers, strolling along with a rapier slung at my side.

#DOE projecting data centers will require ~3x as much energy by 2028
rise of these #serverfarms has sparked fierce battles from the Virginia suburbs to Tucson, Arizona, and beyond, as city and #countygovernments grapple with how to balance job creation and new #revenue streams against the strain #datacenters put on #water and #energy #resources.
@MichaelEMann @sciencefeedback here's a gist of the results of Fabric AI's `analyze_claims` pattern against the article you posted.
tl;dr:
# OVERALL SCORE:
**LOWEST CLAIM SCORE:** B
**HIGHEST CLAIM SCORE:** A
**AVERAGE CLAIM SCORE:** B+
# OVERALL ANALYSIS:
Science Feedback's analysis demonstrates strong evidence that DOE report misrepresents climate science through cherry-picking and methodological flaws. *snip*

The U.S. Energy Department is under fire for misrepresenting climate science in official materials, drawing criticism from researchers. #ClimateScience #DOE #Accountability https://phys.org/news/2025-08-energy-department-misrepresents-climate-science.html
"Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work
A new Department of Energy report 'fundamentally misrepresents' climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.
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 cherry-picking 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 finding, a crucial 2009 ruling that provides the scientific and legal basis for the agency to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. In its draft reconsideration of the finding, the EPA cites the paper from the DOE as part of a review of 'the most recently available science' that it undertook to challenge the validity of the 2009 ruling.
(. . .)
The DOE report’s summary states that CO2-induced warming 'appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies could be more harmful than beneficial.' Many of the arguments reflected in the new DOE paper, mainstream scientists told WIRED, have been debunked over and over for years."
Last evening, our doe visited us. So, I had a feeling that she might be here. Voila! Thank you for being so gracious.

Fermilab Cyberattack Contained, But Raises Red Flags.
Hackers hit Fermilab via a Microsoft SharePoint flaw, but damage was minimal and no classified data was accessed. Experts warn it's part of a growing trend of cyberattacks targeting U.S. research and energy systems.

#US #DoE taps federal sites for fast-track #AI #datacenter and energy builds
Private sector invited to colocate at legacy #nuclear facilities
The four that have been finalized are the Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge Reservation, Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, and Savannah River Site. These will now move forward to invite companies in the private sector to build AI datacenter projects plus any necessary energy sources to power them, including nuclear generation.
