Editor’s note: This compilation serves as a fact check on the top false claims made about climate change by the media in February, 2026.
Climate Change Is NOT Worsening Wildlife Viruses – NOT Harming Coffee Production – ‘Global Warming’ NOT Causing More Snow – Sea Level Rise NOT a looming catastrophe

this site and others need to stop equating climate change, which is natural and has been happening since the earth was formed and man made climate change which doesn’t exist – leftists combine the two to keep their false narrative alive
This site and others don’t NEED to do anything. You need to get off your high horse and stop lecturing people and assuming they’re not smart enough to know how leftists keep the narrative alive and not smart enough to know the difference.
Not many people here confuse the 2, other than the resident alarmists.
Excellent!
Regarding the fact that nor’easters are not worsening, here are a couple of references:
1. https://acs.evsc.virginia.edu/data-analysis-and-summary
2. https://www.alcf.anl.gov/news/innovative-models-predict-effects-climate-change-nor-easters says, “On the whole, the statistics for these extratropical storms are not changing so significantly as to suggest a higher probability of a large surge event in the future versus now.”
As a resident of the NE, the nor’easters have gotten fewer in recent years. This recent winter was a more traditional frigid, buried in snow winter. One blizzard doesn’t make a climate catastrophe/threat. I was so buried in snow I had to hire a local Big Foot to help me shovel my patio.
Nice try Joseph.
We all know that’s really you wielding the shovel 🙂
I do appreciate this compilation series. Thanks.
I sometimes hear an acquaintance make a comment and I wonder where it came from.
This might be a good place to mention the “Failed Predictions” link at the top-left of the home page.
Global warming, climate change, climate crisis, climate emergency (can you go much higher?) is in the lap of the goddess Gaia and only the chosen few – trusted high priests such as brother Miliband, and the holy modellers, like Freddi Otto – can discern her will and what must be done to placate her in her wrath.
There is no crisis, let alone an emergency.
What there is… is the indoctrination and enfeebling (infantilising) of the population. Those in authority know. You do not. Do as you are told. Or else…
No longer is it the goddess Gaia. It is the goddess Gretta.
She can see carbon dioxide – she has said so herself. What more proof does one need for divinity.
Meanwhile, here in New Hampshire, we’ve got a big problem with sap due, I’m sure to climate change. Specifically, maple sap, which is running like crazy, which is exhausting the people in the maple industry. Because as long as that sap is flowing, you have to stay ahead of it, and continue boiling it down, and into syrup. Because otherwise it spoils and is useless, and has to be dumped, and nobody wants that. And then, what in heck is everyone going to do with all that syrup? You can only eat so many pancakes. So anyway, it’s a huge problem, and that is why this climate change thing has to be stopped.
Make maple sugar?
Sell it to the rest of us at a discount!
All that good old acid rain is causing a bountiful maple syrup harvest. That and the fallout from Three Mile Island.
But there was apparently not sufficient acid rain in MA to keep WI from overtaking its USA 1st place spot in cranberry production.

No, a cry of anguish
MPs Put Net Zero Above Energy Security
Parliament decided to put Net Zero above the national interest and the motion was voted down by 297 votes to 108. Not a single Labour, Liberal Democrat, Reform, Restore Britain or SNP MP voted in favour of the motion. Time to explore why this was a catastrophic error and tantamount to treason.

Parliament Net Zero. Now there’s a clanger of a dog’s dinner.
Re: Sea Level Rise in Hawaii – Shirley, Alarmists must know that tides are caused by Gorebal Warming, ergo the rising and falling of Hawaiian seas; else surfing would not have been invented. It’s a fact; look it up.
Maybe Hawaii should invite Al Gore to live in in Hawaii?
We know The Gore Effect has caused cold in the areas he visited to preach Global Warming.
Maybe his presence will calm all those pesky tides? Tides don’t bother Tennessee. 😎
Has this site referenced, even in passing, the historic heat records that have been set in the US southwest this winter?
Is this a trick or treat question?
I just searched; it looks like there was not a dedicated article on it, but that’s not to say someone didn’t post on it in other articles. It was a pretty wild heat wave though, eh?
Not according to WUWT, apparently.
Heat records?
We have records of the flow of thermal energy across temperature gradients?
Or are you using the common/social language context derived definition?
You can do better.
Fair play.
‘Temperature records’.
Still no mention of them at WUWT, though.
‘Hide the incline?’
TFN, there have been many stories in the Southern California press about our recent “heat waves”, none of which came close to being heat waves according to the WMO definition. Just scientific-sounding speculation devoid of facts in evidence.
WMO defines a ‘heatwave’ as:
You’re saying nowhere in the US southwest even came close to experiencing these conditions in March?
That would seem to be at odds with numerous reports from the area.
