The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) is facing scrutiny from Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives over its promotion of data which falsely claims that so-called “global warming” is real.

As the Daily Caller reports, a letter was sent to NOAA Administration Richard Spinrad on Wednesday by members of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The letter demanded information from the agency on its “billion dollar disasters” (BDD) dataset, which has been frequently cited by the Biden-Harris administration as evidence that all future natural gas deals and other similar ventures must be halted due to fear of global warming.

The congressional letter further warned that the existence and the use of the BDD data could constitute a violation of NOAA’s own rules on scientific integrity, prioritizing a political agenda over empirical fact and scientific struth. Members also demanded that NOAA provide clarification with regards to its methodology, as well as an explanation of why its dataset does not adjust for variables such as gross domestic product (GDP).

“Since the 1990s, NOAA has published annual reports showing the number of disasters that have cost more than a billion dollars in damages,” the letter reads, in part. “Debate around the validity of the reports’ methodologies has resulted in NOAA making incremental but important changes. Since 2011, the reports’ cost estimates of all past disasters in the dataset have been updated annually to account for inflation in today’s dollars.”
