Myth: Zbigniew Jaworowski disproved (insert random climate change denier argument about glacial studies and ice cores here). Fact: Zbigniew Jaworowski’s claims are rejected among other Glacial experts, as being based on old, outdated methods that have been since improved upon. Zbigniew Jaworowsk (1927-2011) was a Polish physician who is sometimes referenced by climate change deniers […]

What about the Positive Impacts of Global Warming?
Myth: Climate change will have some benefits. Climate alarmists need to take a breath and weigh the pros and cons of global warming. Fact: The cons outweigh the pros by a large margin, and the cons are far more extreme in nature. This has been understood for years. Many of the alleged benefits are based […]
No scientists did not exaggerate global warming
A recent article published by Nature Geoscience states that limiting warming to 1.5 °C is feasible with current emission pledges (Note: emission PLEDGES, not current emission levels). What this means is that it’s not too late to avoid a 2 °C increase in average global temperatures, which itself would have disastrous consequences, but was a benchmark climatologists […]
Did Climate Change Cause Hurricane Irma, Harvey, Sandy or Katrina?
Fact: This is the wrong question to ask, since it assumes that one variable (in this case, climate change/global warming). In reality, multiple events led to hurricanes like Irma, Harvey, Sandy and Katrina, and increased ocean temperatures and atmospheric water vapor increased the strength of these hurricanes. While there is no credible source claiming that […]
Climate Change and the 97% Consensus among Climatologists
The “97% Climatologist agreement” claim is based on the fact that 97% of related a articles published in peer-reviewed journals and that actually take a position in their abstracts agree that climate change is real and largely caused by humans. Most “counterarguments” omit these specifics. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. The 97% Consensus In reality, seven […]
