"Trump's Energy Department disbands group that sowed doubt about climate change
Energy Secretary Chris Wright has disbanded the Department of Energy's controversial Climate Working Group (CWG), which wrote a report that prompted dozens of independent scientists to issue a joint rebuttal saying the report was full of errors and misrepresented climate science.
The disbanding was first reported by CNN and now NPR has confirmed that Wright wrote a letter on September 3rd to the five hand-picked members of the group, thanking them for their service.
The decision to disband the CWG came as a hearing was held this week in a lawsuit that the Environmental Defense Fund and the Union of Concerned Scientists had filed against the Trump administration. As NPR reported previously, the suit alleges that Energy Secretary Chris Wright 'quietly arranged for five hand-picked skeptics of the effects of climate change' to compile the government's climate report and violated the law by creating the report in secret with authors 'of only one point of view.'"

This is ridiculous, Birmingham put on the Commonwealth Games in 2022 for £778m which is only $1.5bn AUD, how could it cost Victoria 5x more?
