Climate Report Censorship Signals Political Pressure
- NASA released a 2025 temperature report but omitted any mention of human-caused climate change.
- Corey highlights that political pressure appears to be censoring federal climate communications despite ongoing scientific work.
Scientists See Self-Censorship And Funding Risk
- Scientists like Michael Mann and Zeke Hausfather interpret the omission as political self-censorship tied to the administration.
- Corey warns that funding cuts could eventually halt the underlying research even if publication continues now.
Baseline Choice Masks Recent Warming Magnitude
- NASA measured 2025 average temperatures at 1.19°C above the 1951–1980 baseline, which Corey says understates recent warming due to baseline choice.
- He emphasizes that different baselines can make recent warming numbers look smaller than they feel locally.
