ARTICLE REVIEWS
The Daily Wire makes wild claims about climate change based on no evidence
in The Daily Wire, by Joseph Curl
— 09 May 2017
"The article contains little to no rational treatment of observational data, but relies on heavily biased secondhand interpretation... Even the title is based on a lie. There is no..
Analysis of “Scientists: Here’s What Really Causes Climate Change (And It Has Nothing To Do With Human Beings)”
in The Daily Wire, by James Barrett
— 28 Feb 2017
"The article misuses a Nature article on a geological process 90 millions years ago to argue the warming of the past century is not anthropogenic. It seems the reasoning is ideolog..
Analysis of “Earth heading for ‘mini ice age’ within 15 years”
in The Telegraph, by Dan Hyde
— 30 Jul 2015
"The whole argument in the article rests on the incorrect myth that the Maunder minimum caused a "mini ice age" and uses that name to draw specious implications and conclusions.
CLAIM REVIEWS
Claim that current climate change can be explained satisfactorily by natural cycles and volcanic activity does not have scientific support
CLAIM
The cyclical activity of the Sun as well as other variations in solar and earth activity, and NOT anthropogenic CO2 emissions, are responsible for climate change
SOURCE: Social media user, Twitter
Published: 18 Sep 2023
VERDICT
Link between CO2 and Earth’s temperature is well-established, despite claims on Fox News
CLAIM
Scientists have found no consistent correlation between CO2 and temperature; scientists do not know whether earth will warm or cool in future
SOURCE: Tom Harris , Fox News
Published: 18 Oct 2022
VERDICT
The sun isn’t responsible for current climate change, contrary to claims in Suspicious0bservers YouTube video
CLAIM
Scientists have neglected the effect of solar particles, cosmic rays, the interplanetary magnetic field and Earth's weakening magnetic field to conclude climate change is due to human activity
SOURCE: Ben Davidson, Suspicious0bservers
Published: 29 Jul 2022
VERDICT
Robust scientific evidence supports that human activity drives global warming, contrary to claims in a CO2 Coalition blog post by Andy May
CLAIM
"There is no evidence, other than models, that human CO2 emissions drive climate change and abundant evidence that the Sun, coupled with natural climate cycles, drives most, if not all, of recent climate changes"
SOURCE: Andy May, CO2 Coalition
Published: 16 Mar 2022
VERDICT
Solar forcing is not the main cause of current global warming, contrary to claim by Alex Newman in the Epoch Times
CLAIM
The Sun and not human emissions of carbon dioxide may be the main cause of warmer temperatures in recent decades. There is a systemic bias in UN IPCC's data selection.

VERDICT
Low solar activity has little effect on Earth’s climate, contrary to claim in The Sun
CLAIM
"The sun has gone into ‘lockdown’ which could cause freezing weather, earthquakes and famine, say scientists"
SOURCE: Chris Pollard, The Sun
Published: 20 May 2020
VERDICT
Electroverse article incorrectly claims the Sun is behind climate change
CLAIM
the IPCC is wrong − the sun, not CO2, drove modern global warming
SOURCE: Roger Higgs, Electroverse
Published: 18 Mar 2020
VERDICT
Claims of a coming 30-year “mini ice age” are not supported by science
CLAIM
Earth about to enter 30-YEAR ‘Mini Ice Age’
SOURCE: Harry Pettit, Sean Martin, The Sun, Express
Published: 06 Feb 2020
VERDICT
Earth’s orbit cannot explain modern climate change
CLAIM
changes in the solar orbit of the earth, along with alterations to the earth’s axial tilt, are both responsible for what climate scientists today have dubbed as “warming”[...]. In no way, shape, or form are humans warming or cooling the planet
SOURCE: Ethan Huff, Natural News
Published: 03 Sep 2019
VERDICT
Claim that cosmic rays are a crucial player for current climate change is unsupported
CLAIM
Based on the increase of solar activity during the twentieth century, it should account for between half to two-thirds of all climate change
