What was the purpose of the climate working group Christopher Allen Wright convened?

The climate working group was convened to produce a report that evaluated the state of global warming and climate change and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) endangerment finding with respect to the economic and health effects caused by greenhouse gases. Critics argued it was composed of fossil-fuel industry officials and contrarians who produced a report filled with poorly framed and misleading findings. Still, the report formed the basis of the EPA decision to allow the EPA under the Trump administration to rescind the endangerment finding.
