Do Hundreds of Papers Published in 2017 ‘Prove’ That Global Warming is a Myth?

25 Oct. 2017

“The first time that Breitbart ran a NTZ based-story, numerous scientists listed in the report pointed out their their graphs had been digitally altered by NTZ to omit data, and that NTZ had either misinterpreted their papers or read them so superficially that the author of the post did not realize he was sometimes quoting from general background material and not the actual findings of the papers themselves. […] Ernesto Tejedor Vargas, whose study “Temperature Variability in the Iberian Range Since 1602 Inferred from Tree-ring Records” was featured in both the June Breitbart article and in the current iteration, told Climate Feedback in June that he “would like the author of the No Tricks Zone post to remove my name from the blog since it is not reflecting our research conclusion””

Possible good news about climate change leads to confused coverage

22 Sept. 2017

“Here is where some coverage of the story diverged from the facts of the study. Some interpreted this to mean that climate models have overestimated global warming because they were too sensitive to changes in greenhouse gases. […] In reality, those model projections have done an admirable job of matching the observed rise of global temperatures in recent years.”

Is there really still a chance for staying below 1.5 °C global warming?

22 Sept. 2017

“We’ve seen a bizarre […] misreporting about Millar et al., focusing on the claim that climate models have supposedly overestimated global warming. Carbon Brief and Climate Feedback both have good pieces up debunking this claim, so I won’t delve into it much. “

How Y2K Offers a Lesson for Fighting Climate Change

19 Jul. 2017

“Last week, New York magazine published a riveting and frightening look at the future of the planet we call home.[…] The article captured the public’s attention, quickly becoming the most-read piece in the magazine’s history. But many critics, including several climate scientists, argued that it was flawed because Mr. Wallace-Wells focused on the worst-case scenario, a pessimist’s take. Why feed the public a too-bleak picture of the future? Why frighten people into action, rather than inspire them?”

The Heartbreak for Heartland Continues

5 Jun. 2017

“diligent science teachers are updating their curricula and lesson plans, participating in professional development, and catching up on the latest science. Unfortunately, the Heartland Institute is continuing to inflict its climate change denial literature on science teachers across the country. […] Climate Feedback, a network of scientists who collectively assess the credibility of climate change coverage, published a detailed assessment of the Heartland material on May 31, 2017. […] “Scientists found that almost all the claims that made it to the ‘Key Findings’ section are incorrect, misleading, based on flawed logic, or simply factually inaccurate.””

Fact-checking Donald Trump’s statement withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement

1 Jun. 2017

“Trump cited a number of negative statistics about the predicted economic impact from the climate deal […] All of these statistics come from a March 2017 study, prepared by NERA Economic Consulting, that estimates the potential impact of hypothetical regulatory actions necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. The study makes assumptions that gave several economics and environmental professors pause when reacting to the NERA study for ClimateFeedback.org.”

Paris Agreement: What Experts Say vs. What the White House Says

“The NERA study cited by the President is wrong. They assume we’ll take the LEAST efficient path to decarbonization, and that innovation in cleantech will slow down, instead of speed up. If it’s going to kill jobs and cost money, why are businesses so uniformly supportive? (One debunking by WRI, and another by economist Gary Yohe, and similar arguments rebutted by a variety of scientists)”

Jeremy Berg, di Science, interpellato da Climate Feedback, smentisce che il lavoro di Thomas Karl abbia goduto di una via preferenziale.

This is why conservative media outlets like the Daily Mail are ‘unreliable’

13 Feb. 2017

“This past November, Rose tried to blame the record-shattering hot global temperatures of 2016 on El Niño in a piece that the climate scientists at Climate Feedback gave a “very low” scientific credibility score of -1.9. The lowest possible score is -2.0. The scientists described Rose’s article as “incredibly misleading,” “flawed to perfection,” “deceptive,” and “completely bogus.” One expressed dismay that they couldn’t rate its credibility worse than “very low.””

It was the former article that recently prompted a number of members of the House of Lords, including me, to write a letter to the editor of The Times, John Witherow. We highlighted the newspaper’s recent record of tendentious and misleading coverage of climate science”
