How the US govt is misleading us on Climate change impact

The US govt has a misleading website Global Change that tells about the climate change happening in the US over the last century. This website has a number of slides that the govt uses to 'educate' people about the climate changes happening and the impact of these changes on us. There is misleading information on future emission scenariois and global warming. I am trying to understand the reason why the govt is doing this. Why the US govt wants people to believe that the climate changes have a larger impact than they really would?

Here is from their website

Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States: Report Home Page The most comprehensive, authoritative report on Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States

The highest emission scenario is almost double of the lightest scenario

The disinformation campaign from the government needs to be stopped because there is a strong renewable energy lobby that is behind this. The US wants to reduce it's dependance on oil and hence it is misleading people with such websites

Besides the study done on this was by a biologist and not by a climatologist
