InaccurateLink 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

IncorrectLetter 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.

IncorrectRobust 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"

How sea ice in the Arctic and the Antarctic is influenced by climate change
“The decreases have accelerated since the 1990s and have been part of a consistent suite of changes in the Arctic, including rising atmospheric temperatures, melting land ice, thawing permafrost, longer growing seasons, increased coastal erosion, and warming oceans. Overall, it has been a consistent picture solidly in line with the expectations of the warming climate predicted from increases in greenhouse gases. In particular, modeled sea ice predictions showed marked Arctic sea ice decreases, and the actual decreases even exceeded what the models predicted.”

InaccurateYouTube video falsely claims that climate models systematically over-estimated warming and that we are heading towards an ice age
Claim:
"The official observed temperatures are coming consistently below the scary global warming numbers"; "Melting polar ice triggers ice age"

IncorrectPragerU post by Happer uses flawed reasoning to claim that climate models always fail
Claim:
"climate models that attempt to predict the future temperature of the planet...don’t work. They haven’t worked in the past. They don’t work now."; "the number of factors that influence climate—the sun, the earth’s orbital properties, oceans, clouds, and, yes, industrial man—is huge and enormously variable"; "CO2 is a minor contributor to the warming of the earth"

IncorrectClimate 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.

-1LowArticle in The Guardian misleads readers about sensitivity of climate models by narrowly focusing on single study
“The article correctly reports that the most recent versions of some climate models estimate more warming for a given increase in CO2 concentrations. It is also correct in highlighting that how clouds are represented in these models is the likely reason for these higher estimates. However, it does not report all the science available on this topic and its claims are thus misleading.”

-1.6Very lowWashington Examiner op-ed cherry-picks data and misleads readers about climate models
“This article focuses only on specific lines of evidence that climate models disagree with observations. In doing so, the authors ignore research that helps to reconcile differences between models and observations. The authors do not consider alternate datasets and time periods in which models and observations agree. Models are one tool for understanding climate change; their overall credibility does not hinge on one variable, in one domain, over a specific time period, with respect to a set of imperfect observations.”
