(1) the establishment of scientific protocols and 
a robust oversight mechanism governing an infra-
structure of observing, monitoring, measuring, and 
verification technologies, data collection methods, 
and peer review standards is necessary to preclude 
future infringements of public trust by scientific fal-
sification and fraud; and 
(2) climate change research information pro-
vided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 
Change should meet United States Federal stand-
ards for scientific research as defined by the Na-
tional Science and Technology Council and the Na-
tional Academy of Sciences before being used as the 
basis for action by the United States Government.
