No, but for those experts interpreting the data they require confidence from the public that what they are saying is accurate and factual. The Trump administration has gone out of their way to discredit every institution of government involved in scientific research or application of scientific findings. Without that credibility their findings are worthless. Trump has destroyed the intellectual infrastructure in the government that would lend credibility to anything that comes from his administration. At a time when we need to trust our government to protect us, the opposite condition exists.

Reason was behind the now defunct newenvironmentalism.org, which was site that relied on pseudo-science to counter climate change and climate science. Reason is and has been a front for the Koch Foundations and promoting a pro-market, pro-fossil fuel agenda.
