No, US Scientists Didn't Trick The World Into Adopting The Paris Deal

"The climate-denial camp has new ammunition: A widely refuted Daily Mail article that claims top U.S. climate scientists exaggerated their data for a 2015 study to 'dupe' world leaders into adopting the Paris Climate Agreement.

That agreement, which went into force in November 2016, for the first time committed the world to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

For his incendiary story, British journalist David Rose, who has reported inaccurately on climate science and Iraqi weaponry in the past, spoke to a 'high-level whistleblower' in a top U.S. climate agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)."
