It’s not wholly accidental, nor even deliberate, that the weather stations the Met Office uses to underscore its climate change narrative are frequently located at airports... - No Climate Mayday in Madras: Reconsidering Doomsday Narratives
The fact that Chennai’s highest recorded temperature occurred in 1892, long before the era of modern industrialization and urbanization, is a powerful reminder that extreme weather events are not a recent phenomenon... - Climate Central’s Urban Rainfall Claims Are All Wet
This kind of shoddy research for media consumption undermines public trust in climate science.

ABC News ignores the research and data which strongly suggests that the UHI is wholly responsible for earlier spring peak cherry blossom blooms, due to fewer late season frosts and warmer average nighttime temperatures... - Gosh, Really? NASA data reveals role of green spaces in cooling cities
Cities in the Global South tend to have less green space than cities in the Global North. This mirrors studies of the disparities within cities, sometimes referred to as the “luxury effect”: wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more green space than... - Climate Change Weekly #495: New Research Further Demonstrates Problems with Surface Temperature Records and Models
