At this point I think that the definition of truth is just another wedge issue introduced to the political teamsport - the process of searching for truth was already so noisy that it's best left to the people nearest to the feedback loops that help us iterate on solutions. Reading between the lines, this is a push to take power away from the bureaucrats in charge of the US (Western?) regulatory model (the so called "deep state") and move the "fact finding" process to somewhere the politicians could better influence it. Climate change is a perfect example because oil companies and armed forces worldwide have been operating under the assumption that it's real and its coming, largely because they're the ones who have to deal with, for example, the immediate effects of storm size on ship builders, ports, and deep sea mining equipment. We've got a Jekyll and Hyde government with a Navy that has been preparing for climate change since the 90s while half the country fights tooth and nail against the very concept. I think the pragmatic approach is to let the experts at the CDC, FDA, EPA, etc do the work they're qualified to do while working on checks and balances to prevent regulatory capture, politicization, and corruption.
