The nonprofit Internet Archive first uploaded the 543-page report, which is awaiting the Trump administration’s approval, in January.

Trump once famously called climate change a Chinese “hoax,” and he’s filled his administration with several other skeptics, including Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
