Another Day–Another Warming Scare!
The reality, unlike the BBC’s vision of apocalypse, is that any changes to the Earth’s climate are tiny, and would be unnoticeable if the media was not constantly banging on…
Claim: Global warming accelerates the water cycle, with relevant climatic consequences
This acceleration of the water cycle is caused by an increase in the evaporation of water from the seas and oceans resulting from the rise in temperature.
Claim: Model Pinpoints Glaciers at Risk of Collapse Due to Climate Change
Meltwater seeping beneath Arctic glaciers puts thickest and fastest at risk of sudden collapse
Claim: Unchecked Global Emissions on Track to Initiate Mass Extinction of Marine Life

By Paul Homewood It’s Whack-A-Mole time! image A disaster-weary globe will be hit harder in the coming years by even more catastrophes colliding in an interconnected world, a United Nations…
Claim: Permafrost peatlands approaching tipping point
Researchers warn that permafrost peatlands in Europe and Western Siberia are much closer to a climatic tipping point than previous believed.
Study: Ice flow is more sensitive to stress than previously thought
The rate of glacier ice flow is more sensitive to stress than previously calculated, according to a new study by MIT researchers that upends a decades-old equation used to describe…
Misinformation about Sea Level Rise
There are few environmental issues with more unsupported claims than the effects of global warming on sea-level rise.
Claim: Arctic Winter Warming Causes Cold Damage in the Subtropics of East Asia
Arctic warming causes temperature anomalies and cold damage thousands of kilometers away in East Asia.
Claim: Climate change lowers nutrition, increases toxicity at base of food web
HANOVER, N.H. – October 25, 2021 – Climate change impacts on freshwater systems can lower nutrition and increase toxicity at the base of the food web, according to research from Dartmouth…
The UN’s ‘code red’ on climate change
The new U.N. climate report is nothing more than a tired ritual of fear-mongering that has been repeated for decades with the complicity of mainstream media.
Claim: 5 million deaths a year caused by global climate related abnormal temps
More than five million deaths a year can be attributed to abnormal hot and cold temperatures MONASH UNIVERSITY Research News More than five million extra deaths a year can be…
CLAIM: Climate has shifted the axis of the Earth
Melting glaciers redistributed enough water to cause the direction of polar wander to turn and accelerate eastward during the mid-1990s, according to a new study in Geophysical Research Letters, AGU’s…
Claim: Colorado River basin due for more frequent, intense hydroclimate events
In every scenario, the number and magnitude of each type of extreme event increased on average across the Colorado River Basin for the future period compared to the historical period.…
Wild claim: Nuclear war could trigger big El Niño and decrease seafood
A nuclear war could trigger an unprecedented El Niño-like warming episode in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, slashing algal populations by 40 percent and likely lowering the fish catch, according to…

Claim: UN report says up to 850,000 animal viruses could be caught by humans, unless we protect nature
Human damage to biodiversity is leading us into a pandemic era. The virus that causes COVID-19, for example, is linked to similar viruses in bats, which may have been passed…
Claim: Climate change undermines the safety of buildings and infrastructure in Europe
Updating structural design standards is crucial to improving European climate resilience and ensuring the safety of constructions, that are expected to suffer from changes in atmospheric variables and more frequent…
Claim: New research: nitrous oxide emissions 300 times more powerful than CO₂ are jeopardising Earth’s future
Agriculture is the main cause of the increasing concentrations, and is likely to remain so this century. N₂O emissions from agriculture and industry can be reduced, and we must take…
Claim: Sea level rise from ice sheets track worst-case climate change scenario
Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica whose melting rates are rapidly increasing have raised the global sea level by 1.8cm since the 1990s, and are matching the Intergovernmental Panel on…
Climate worst-case scenarios may not go far enough, cloud data shows
