ARTICLES REVIEWED

Guardian explores sea level rise impact on cities, but fails to make timescale clear

in The Guardian, by Jonathan Watts, Dom Phillips, Helen Roxburgh, Josh Holder, Justin McCurry, Niko Kommenda, Richard Luscombe, & Ruth Michaelson

CLAIMS REVIEWED

Simple measurements demonstrate that CO2 is a greenhouse gas contrary to claim in online blogs
CLAIM
CO2 is not a greenhouse gas.

SOURCE: Tim Ball, Technocracy.news

Published: 14 Jan 2020

VERDICT

CO2 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

SOURCE: Robert W. Felix, William Happer, Ice Age Now

Published: 14 Aug 2019

VERDICT

In popular video, Dan Peña falsely claims humans aren’t causing climate change
CLAIM
Fifty-five thousand years ago the whole world was 2°C warmer than it is today[...] It's all cyclical; [human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are] not a fart in the wind. Sea level rise is not going to happen.

SOURCE: Dan Peña, "Ivanka_Trump" Facebook account

VERDICT

Some extreme weather events are clearly becoming more common, in contrast to Lord Lawson’s claim
CLAIM
The IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is sort of the voice of the consensus, concedes that there has been no increase in extreme weather events.

SOURCE: Nigel Lawson, BBC

Published: 10 Aug 2017

VERDICT

Lord Lawson falsely claims that global temperatures have declined over last decade
CLAIM
according, again, to the official figures—during this past 10 years, if anything, mean global temperature, average world temperature, has slightly declined

SOURCE: Nigel Lawson, BBC

Published: 10 Aug 2017

VERDICT

Natural variability can not explain modern global warming, as Heartland Institute report claims
CLAIM
Neither the rate nor the magnitude of the reported late twentieth century surface warming (1979–2000) lay outside normal natural variability.

SOURCE: Craig Idso, Robert Carter, S. Fred Singer, Heartland Institute

Published: 30 May 2017

VERDICT

A lull in solar activity would have little effect on global temperatures; claims of “global cooling” are not based on science
CLAIM
Forward projections of solar cyclicity imply the next few decades may be marked by global cooling rather than warming, despite continuing CO2 emissions.

SOURCE: Craig Idso, Robert Carter, S. Fred Singer, Heartland Institute

Published: 30 May 2017

VERDICT

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that caused warming during past climate changes, notably as a feedback amplifying other factors
CLAIM
Increases in atmospheric CO2 followed increases in temperature. Therefore, CO2 levels could not have forced temperatures to rise.

SOURCE: Craig Idso, Robert Carter, S. Fred Singer, Heartland Institute

Published: 26 May 2017

VERDICT

Heartland Institute report incorrectly claims no evidence of human impacts in melting ice
CLAIM
Melting of Arctic sea ice and polar icecaps is not occurring at ‘unnatural’ rates and does not constitute evidence of a human impact on the climate.

SOURCE: Craig Idso, Robert Carter, S. Fred Singer, Heartland Institute

Published: 17 May 2017

VERDICT

Global sea level rise is accelerating, despite Heartland Institute report’s claims otherwise
CLAIM
Best available data show sea-level rise is not accelerating. Local and regional sea levels continue to exhibit typical natural variability—in some places rising and in others falling.
