Wrong, Daily Mail, Global Warming is Not Spiraling Out of Control

No, Smithsonian Magazine, Climate Change Is Not the Main Driver of Satellite Collision Risk—The Sun Is

No, Yahoo News, “Extreme Heat” Isn’t Accelerating Aging—And It’s Not Getting Worse

Why Isn’t the Mainstream Media Reporting that Ocean Circulation Is Doing Well?
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is not collapsing, is not slowing catastrophically, and is not about to trigger an Ice Age. The latest scientific research confirms what observational data has…
False, Forbes, Climate Change Is Not Threatening Food Security
The real threat to food security isn’t climate change, rather it is flawed reporting being used to encourage and provide cover for bad policies. Restrictive environmental regulations, misguided carbon reduction…
Wrong, The Guardian, There Are No Identifiable “Climate Tipping Points”
