CLAIM REVIEWS
Scientists 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”.
SOURCE: Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan Experience

VERDICT
Scientific 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.”

VERDICT
Letter 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.

VERDICT
Climate 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.

VERDICT
Human-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

VERDICT
Human activities release far more carbon dioxide than volcanoes do
CLAIM
That one little burp by Mt. Etna has already put more than 10,000 times the CO2 into the atmosphere than mankind has in our entire time on the Earth

Published: 11 Sep 2019
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

VERDICT
Non-peer-reviewed manuscript falsely claims natural cloud changes can explain global warming
