Evidence: For example, Ross McKitrick and Patrick J. Michaels conducted a statistical study of surface-temperature data regressed against socioeconomic indicators, and concluded that about half of the observed warming trend (for 1979–2002) could be accounted for by the residual UHI effects in the corrected temperature data set they studied—which had already been processed to remove the (modeled) UHI contribution. | SUPPORTS |

"Austria is today seeing its earliest snowfall in history with 30 to 40 centimetres already predicted in the mountains.. Evidence: This law of neutrality, passed in late October 1955 (and not the State Treaty itself), ensured that modern Austria would align with neither NATO nor the Soviet bloc, and is considered one of the reasons for Austria's delayed entry into the European Union in 1995. | NOT_ENOUGH_INFO |
In the last 35 years of global warming, sun and climate have been going in opposite directions.. Evidence: Climate change may occur over long and short timescales from a variety of factors; recent warming is discussed in global warming. | NOT_ENOUGH_INFO |

The sea level was 20 to 30 feet higher than it is today, implying that the ice sheets in both Greenland and Antarctica must have partly disintegrated, a warning of what could occur in the relatively near future if the heating of the planet continues unchecked.”. Evidence: In 2018, scientists concluded that high sea levels some 125,000 years ago, which were 6–9 m (20–30 ft) higher than today, were most likely due to the absence of the WAIS, and found evidence that the ice sheet collapsed under climate conditions similar to those of today. | SUPPORTS |
And there is a lot of evidence that climate change is diminishing biodiversity, which can be seen in these alpine meadows as well.. Evidence: Increased temperatures may allow herbivores to expand further into alpine regions, significant impacting the composition of alpine herbfields. | SUPPORTS |
Forward projections of solar cyclicity imply the next few decades may be marked by global cooling rather than warming, despite continuing CO2 emissions..

The amount of heat energy coming out of the Earth is too small to even be worth considering.. Evidence: Geothermal power is considered to be renewable because any projected heat extraction is small compared to the Earth's heat content. | REFUTES |
California legislators have made it illegal for anyone to deny climate change, under threat of jail time.. Evidence: If the government was armed with appropriate legislation and the threat of long prison terms, private citizens would not feel the need to act. | SUPPORTS |
The current debate on the connection between CO2 emissions and climate change has largely overlooked an independent and equally serious problem, the increasing acidity of our oceans.. Evidence: This will cause an elevation of ocean alkalinity, leading to the enhancement of the ocean as a reservoir for CO 2 with implications for climate change as more CO 2 leaves the atmosphere for the ocean. | SUPPORTS |
Given that a doubling of carbon dioxide would change the surface heat flux by only two watts per square meter, it is evident that a small change in cloud cover can strongly affect the response to carbon dioxide.".

"a [cloudcover] change in the Tropics could lead to a negative feedback in the global climate, with a feedback factor of about –1.1, which if correct, would more than cancel all the positive feedbacks in the more sensitive current climate models" (Lindzen et al.. Evidence: The impact of this negative feedback effect is included in global climate models summarized by the IPCC. | NOT_ENOUGH_INFO |

“The IPCC reports also don’t fully account for the albedo effect (less ice means less reflected and more absorbed sunlight, hence more warming); more cloud cover (which traps heat); or the dieback of forests and other flora (which extract carbon from the atmosphere).. Evidence: If cloud cover increases, more sunlight will be reflected back into space, cooling the planet. | NOT_ENOUGH_INFO |
The atmosphere of the Earth is less able to absorb shortwave radiation from the Sun than thermal radiation coming from the surface.. Evidence: Sunlight on the surface of Earth is attenuated by Earth's atmosphere, so that less power arrives at the surface (closer to 1,000 W/m2) in clear conditions when the Sun is near the zenith. | SUPPORTS |
The past shows that climate change is normal, that warmer times and more atmospheric carbon dioxide have driven biodiversity and that cold times kill.”. Evidence: Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide certainly affects plant morphology and is acidifying oceans, and temperature affects species ranges, phenology, and weather, but, mercifully, the major impacts that have been predicted are still potential futures. | NOT_ENOUGH_INFO |
In an interview with the BBC after the scandal broke, Dr Jones admitted there had been no statistically significant global warming since 1995. Evidence: Here is the quote: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't." | SUPPORTS |
