-1.7Very lowTelegraph article on climate change mixes accurate and unsupported, inaccurate claims, misleads with false balance
“This article is a prime example of false equivalence, putting fringe figures side by side with mainstream scientific findings while failing to distinguish between their respective credibility. It is rife with numerous factual errors and misrepresentations. Anyone unfortunate enough to read it will understand less of the science – as actually appears in peer-reviewed publications and conferences – not more.”

-1.8Very lowLetter signed by "500 scientists" relies on inaccurate claims about climate science
“The scientific content is completely inaccurate, undocumented, and fails to bring proof for its claims. The ending of the Little Ice Age in 1850 has no logical link with the fact that the Earth is warming now. Most past climate variations have been slower or less intense as the present one, and if they were as fast or severe they brought about mass extinctions in the biosphere. No explanation or proof is brought on the implausibility or inaccuracy of climate models (whose accuracy or uncertainty is precisely quantified and makes their use better than just random guesses).”

IncorrectThere is overwhelming evidence that current climate change is significantly caused by human carbon emissions contrary to claim in Townhall

Human-produced carbon might be one of the factors [of climate change], but there’s simply no evidence that it is a significant one.

Flawed reasoningCO2 caused warming during past climate changes, notably as a feedback amplifying other factors
Claim:
CO2 does not cause climate change, it RESPONDS to it [...] temperature always changes first, and CO2 follows

IncorrectSky News Australia interview falsely claims that global cooling is coming soon
Claim:
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is misleading humanity about climate change and sea levels, and that in fact a new solar-driven cooling period is not far off

IncorrectNon-peer-reviewed manuscript falsely claims natural cloud changes can explain global warming
Claim:
During the last hundred years the temperature is increased about 0.1°C because of carbon dioxide. The human contribution was about 0.01°C.

IncorrectOn Fox News, Patrick Michaels falsely claims humans are only responsible for half of global warming
Claim:
So that means that probably about half, maybe half of that nine-tenths of the degree [of total warming] might be caused by greenhouse gases

-2Very lowCommentary in The Australian by Ian Plimer relies on false claims to make its case
“If you think that potentially causing hundreds of millions of refugees and trillions of dollars in damages is fine because some plants did well in the same conditions millions of years ago when humans weren’t around, then you could support this article.”

IncorrectThere is clear evidence for the existence of climate change contrary to claims by John Coleman
Claim:
Climate change is not happening, there is no significant man-made global warming now, there hasn't been any in the past, and there's no reason to expect any in the future.
