Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, but it is not a major driver of global warming
Claim:
Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas so it is the main cause of recent global warming

InaccurateWall Street Journal article questions decades of scientific evidence demonstrating elevated atmospheric-CO2 causes global warming
Claim:
We do not know if CO2 is the cause of global warming

Flawed reasoningScientists have found that modern climate change is caused entirely by human activity, contrary to recent speculation by Joe Rogan
Claim:
“The question is, ‘how much of an impact do we have on [climate]?’ That has not totally been quantified”; climate change is happening anyway, “The ice age happened without us…It’s probably this constant cycle”.

IncorrectScientific evidence indicates that modern warming is driven by CO2, contrary to Richard Lindzen’s claim
Claim:
“Believing CO2 controls the climate is pretty close to believing in magic.”

IncorrectLetter stating there is “no climate emergency” repeats inaccurate claims about climate science
Claim:
“Natural variation explains a substantial part of global warming observed since 1850;” no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying natural disasters, or making them more frequent.

-2Very lowVideo interview of Ian Plimer at Sky News falsely claims that a new study announces an incoming ice age, partly based on an incorrect Daily Mail headline
“This video is chock full of false and misleading information, and presented in a way to make the correct scientific information seem like a farce. For example, the direct link between human emissions of carbon dioxide and global warming is very well established. The physics and chemistry of this link has been understood for well over 100 years, and science continues to affirm it.”

-1LowArticle by Michael Shellenberger mixes accurate and inaccurate claims in support of a misleading and overly simplistic argumentation about climate change
“Shellenberger’s article promoting his new book “Apocalypse Never” includes a mix of accurate, misleading, and patently false statements. While it is useful to push back against claims that climate change will lead to the end of the world or human extinction, to do so by inaccurately downplaying real climate risks is deeply problematic and counterproductive.”

IncorrectClimate scientists agree that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are primarily responsible for climate change, contrary to claims in Clear Energy Alliance video
Claim:
The scientific consensus on whether global warming is human caused is not 97 percent, it’s less than 1 percent. There is no way to measure the human impact on climate change.

IncorrectHuman-induced increases in greenhouse gases are the primary driver of global warming, contrary to claims in CFACT article
Claim:
They tell us that we are the primary forces controlling earth temperatures by the burning of fossil fuels and releasing their carbon dioxide. I hope my readers can recognize the absurdity of their claims. … increasing sunspots are linked to increases in earth temperature

-2Very lowIan Plimer op-ed in The Australian again presents long list of false claims about climate
“This article is a mixture of misdirection, misleading claims, and outright falsehoods. The author attempts to paint a picture of current climate change as simply a continuation of natural changes that have occurred in the past. But this neglects the clear evidence that climate change over the last two centuries has been shown to be largely man-made, that it is much more rapid that anything we have seen in the last two thousand years if not longer, and that it is occurring in the context of a globe with more than 7 billion human inhabitants.”
