The AP ought to have looked at a wider view of crop production data in Brazil and Vietnam, which may have assuaged some of their concerns about the future of coffee prices – at least as far as the influence of climate change...

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach So I ran across this headline and subhead out on the interwebz: “China Disrupts Earth’s Rotation”: NASA Confirms Massive Project Is Slowing the Planet With…

It’s astonishing that The Hill would publish such an article based on shaky, unverified models without at least checking real-world data trends on agricultural productivity and extreme weather...

While sea levels are rising, PBS exaggerates the rise. There is no evidence that extreme weather is getting worse for Rhode Island. Evidence suggests that population growth and infrastructure problems are mostly to blame...

Axios’ “Climate Anxiety Map” isn’t science—it’s partisan theater. The map mirrors the 2024 election results, with Democrat strongholds reporting the most fear. But it measures emotions, not actual climate impacts....

Crop production will always have good and bad years in different parts of the world, especially in places with government meddling and mishandling of resources and price fixing which makes it harder for farmers to invest...

This article shows that the NYT continues to be wedded to promoting pseudoscientific climate alarmism. Rather than investigating the real causes complicating and limiting blood donation and delivery, ranging from donor apathy...

Unworkable schemes come in two flavors. The first involves schemes too mad capped to work because they have no principle of operation behind them or they violate how the universe works – they violate one of the laws of...

It seems the NYT story is built on a fact-free “House of Cards,” emblematic of the mainstream media increasing tendency to write “Fake News,” and ignore facts, especially when the issue is climate change.

This is false. Climate change is not causing an increase in the number or severity of tornados, nor can it be connected to such a limited event.

The Gila monster migration data presented by the study authors, although interesting, was unfortunately informed by flawed climate models and the extreme modelling scenarios they chose to use to forecast the species decline...

Climate Central continues to push a simplistic narrative that ignores fundamental atmospheric physics, misuses regional data, and omits well-established meteorological processes like UHI and aerosol-induced rainfall...

TV weather-person cites Pleistocene glacial geology of NYC as evidence of catastrophic glacier melt.

The Seattle Times ClimateLab stories are often sloppy and incorrect, with the article in today's paper a good example of poor journalism, with politicized, error-filled claims.
