Infrared Iris will reduce global warming | Global dimming creates a cooling effect that reduces the global average temperature elevation of greenhouse gases on global warming by 0.3-0.7 degrees centigrade. | 0 |
No warming since at least 1995, no melting glaciers and now no rising sea levels. | Bleaching events in benthic coral communities (deeper than 20 metres or 66 feet) in the Great Barrier reef are not as well documented as those at shallower depths, but recent research has shown that benthic communities are just as negatively impacted in the face of rising ocean temperatures. | 1 |
The claim sea level isn’t rising is based on blatantly doctored graphs and conspiracy theories that are contradicted by empirical observational data. | Natural science is concerned with the description, prediction, and understanding of natural phenomena based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. | 0 |
I conclude that it must be ice accumulation, through evaporation of ocean water, and subsequent precipitation turning into ice. | Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions. | 1 |
Arctic sea ice loss is three times greater than Antarctic sea ice gain, and the amount of solar energy absorbed by the Earth is increasing as a result. | More of the Sun's energy is now absorbed in these regions, contributing to Arctic amplification, which has caused Arctic temperatures to increase at more than twice the rate of the rest of the world. | 0 |
Arctic, Antarctic and Greenland ice loss is accelerating due to global warming. | The effects of global warming in the Arctic, or climate change in the Arctic include rising air and water temperatures, loss of sea ice, and melting of the Greenland ice sheet with a related cold temperature anomaly, observed since the 1970s. | 0 |
Scientists have known for some time, from multiple lines of evidence, that humans are changing Earth’s climate, primarily through greenhouse gas emissions. | Slowing global warming requires a transition to a low-carbon economy, mainly by burning far less fossil fuel. | 1 |
Science entitled The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change (Oreskes 2004). | Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars from which other organic compounds can be constructed, and oxygen is produced as a by-product. | 1 |
They changed the name from 'global warming' to 'climate change'. | Climate change adaptation (CCA) is a response to global warming (also known as "climate change" or "anthropogenic climate change"). | 0 |
Satellite transmissions are extremely small and irrelevant. | Signals from DBS satellites (operating in the more recent Ku band) are higher in both frequency and power (due to improvements in the solar panels and energy efficiency of modern satellites) and therefore require much smaller dishes than C-band, and the digital modulation methods now used require less signal strength at the receiver than analog modulation methods. | 0 |
by that I mean the central Arctic will be ice-free. | The melting of the ice is making the Northwest Passage, the shipping routes through the northernmost latitudes, more navigable, raising the possibility that the Arctic region will become a prime trade route. | 0 |
This means it is possible that by some yardsticks, 2016 will be declared as hot as 2015 or even slightly hotter – because El Nino did not vanish until the middle of the year. | Kiribati was mentioned in the study, and Webb and Kench found that the three major urbanised islands in Kiribati—Betio, Bairiki and Nanikai—increased by 30% (36 hectares), 16.3% (5.8 hectares) and 12.5% (0.8 hectares), respectively. | 1 |
On a world scale coral reefs are in decline. | Solid and liquid particles known as aerosols – from volcanoes, plankton, and human-made pollutants – reflect incoming sunlight, cooling the climate. | 1 |
Jupiter's climate change is due to shifts in internal turbulence fueled from an internal heat source - the planet radiates twice as much energy as it receives from the sun. | The water clouds are assumed to generate thunderstorms in the same way as terrestrial thunderstorms, driven by the heat rising from the interior. | 0 |
Arctic sea ice loss is matched by Antarctic sea ice gain. | "Antarctic ice shelf disintegration triggered by sea ice loss and ocean swell". | 0 |
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing ocean acidification, which is catastrophically harming marine life. | Higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations have led to an increase in dissolved CO2, which causes ocean acidification. | 0 |
The argument that solving the global warming problem by reducing human greenhouse gas emissions is "too hard" generally stems from the belief that (i) our technology is not sufficiently advanced to achieve significant emissions reductions, | Carbon dioxide mole fractions in the atmosphere have gone up by approximately 35 percent since the 1900s, rising from 280 parts per million by volume to 387 parts per million in 2009. | 1 |
Rather, global polar bear numbers have been stable or slightly improved.” | Absorption of infrared light at the vibrational frequencies of atmospheric carbon dioxide traps energy near the surface, warming the surface and the lower atmosphere. | 1 |
The IPCC 95% confidence that humans are responsible for most of the current global warming is simply a summary of the peer-reviewed scientific research. | Most of the global average warming over the past 50 years is "very likely" (greater than 90% probability, based on expert judgement) due to human activities. | 0 |
The IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is sort of the voice of the consensus, concedes that there has been no increase in extreme weather events. | Weather conditions out at sea are taken by ships and buoys, which measure slightly different meteorological quantities such as sea surface temperature (SST), wave height, and wave period. | 1 |
“But there are plenty of studies that have come that show with respect to Antarctica that the total ice sheet, particularly that above land, is increasing, not decreasing. | All datasets generally show an acceleration of mass loss from the Antarctic ice-sheet, but with year-to-year variations. | 0 |
More than 260,000 Americans are employed by the domestic solar industry â three times as many workers as employed by the entire coal mining industry. | The modeling also shows that "even without a carbon price (the most efficient way to reduce economy-wide emissions) wind energy is 14% cheaper than new coal and 18% cheaper than new gas." | 1 |
The idea that climate change is producing heat records across the Earth is among the most egregious manipulations of data in the absurd global warming debate. | Given the estimated trend and the volume estimate for October–November of 2007 at less than 9,000 km3, one can project that at this rate it would take only 9 more years or until 2016 ± 3 years to reach a nearly ice-free Arctic Ocean in summer. | 1 |
Humans are too insignificant to affect global climate | In the real world, consumption of fossil fuel resources leads to global warming and climate change. | 0 |
Donald Trump claims Global Warming is a hoax | Originally it was believed that the drought in the Sahel primarily was caused by humans over-using natural resources in the region through overgrazing, deforestation and poor land management. | 1 |
By that time CO2 emissions had already risen from the expanded use of coal that had powered the industrial revolution, and emissions only increased slowly from 3.5gigatonnes in 1910 to under 4gigatonnes by the end of the Second World War. | Human activities since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (around 1750) have produced a 45% increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, from 280 ppm in 1750 to 415 ppm in 2019. | 0 |
97% of climate experts agree humans are causing global warming. | Ice sheet models project that such a warming would initiate the long-term melting of the ice sheet, leading to a complete melting of the ice sheet (over centuries), resulting in a global sea level rise of about 7 metres (23 ft). | 1 |
The costs of emissions regulations, which will be paid by everyone, will be punishingly high and will provide no benefits to most people anywhere in the world. | point out that while distributed solar and other energy efficiency measures do pose a challenge to electric utilities' existing business model, the benefits of distributed generation outweigh the costs, and those benefits are shared by all ratepayers. | 0 |
The effect of this disparity is that thermal radiation escaping to space comes mostly from the cold upper atmosphere, while the surface is maintained at a substantially warmer temperature. | Although the temperature may be −60 °C (−76 °F; 210 K) at the tropopause, the top of the stratosphere is much warmer, and may be near 0 °C. | 0 |
If the public were aware that man-made CO2 is so incredibly small there would be very little belief in a climate disaster ..." | Global dimming creates a cooling effect that reduces the global average temperature elevation of greenhouse gases on global warming by 0.3-0.7 degrees centigrade. | 1 |
describes a world of worsening food shortages and wildfires, and a mass die-off of coral reefs as soon as 2040 | With degradation of protective coral reefs through acidic erosion, bleaching and death, salt water is able to infiltrate fresh ground water supplies that large populations depend on. | 0 |
This means that the world is now 1C warmer than it was in pre-industrial times | The 60- to 80-year cycle of the atmospheric and oceanic variability over the North Atlantic was also linked to the hiatus by two studies published in 2013 and was used to infer the length of the hiatus. | 1 |
Human CO2 is a tiny fraction of CO2 emissions. | These models predict an upward trend in the surface temperatures, as well as a more rapid increase in temperature at higher latitudes. | 1 |
"There are other possible causes for climate change which could be associated with solar activity or related to variations in the temperature of the liquid core of the Earth, which is about 5,400 degrees Celsius. | Henrik Svensmark has suggested that the magnetic activity of the sun deflects cosmic rays, and that this may influence the generation of cloud condensation nuclei, and thereby have an effect on the climate. | 0 |
The claim that 2.2 conventional jobs are destroyed for every new job created in the alternative energy industry is based on a study which relies on incorrect numbers, cherrypicked dates, faulty theory, flawed methodology, and is disproven by real-world examples. | "Vitalists claim to be scientific, but in fact they reject the scientific method with its basic postulates of cause and effect and of provability. | 0 |
IPCC overestimate temperature rise | Currently, surface temperatures are rising by about 0.2 °C per decade. | 0 |
Climate sensitivity can be calculated empirically by comparing past temperature change to natural forcings at the time. | In tropical and subtropical areas, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) rose 0.2 °C (0.36 °F) within a 50-year period, and in the North Atlantic and Northwestern Pacific tropical cyclone basins, the potential destructiveness and energy of storms nearly doubled within the same duration, evidencing a clear correlation between global warming and tropical cyclone intensities. | 1 |
97% consensus on human-caused global warming has been disproven. | Of these, 97% agree, explicitly or implicitly, that global warming is happening and is human-caused. | 0 |
New Study Confirms EVs Considerably Worse For Climate Than Diesel Cars. | In the scientific literature, there is an overwhelming consensus that global surface temperatures have increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused mainly by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. | 1 |
‘While volcanic eruptions are natural events, it was the timing of these that had such a noticeable effect on the trend. | The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora created global climate anomalies that became known as the "Year Without a Summer" because of the effect on North American and European weather. | 0 |
As a result, "The warmest year on US record is now 1934. | A 2018 systematic review study estimated that ice loss across the entire continent was 43 gigatons (Gt) per year on average during the period from 1992 to 2002, but has accelerated to an average of 220 Gt per year during the five years from 2012 to 2017. | 1 |
When CO2 levels were higher in the past, solar levels were also lower. | For example, the mole fraction of carbon dioxide has increased from 280 ppm to 415 ppm, or 120 ppm over modern pre-industrial levels. | 0 |
Heat waves have been decreasing since the 1930s in the U.S. and globally. | Tuvalu was mentioned in the study, and Webb and Kench found that seven islands in one of its nine atolls have spread by more than 3 per cent on average since the 1950s. | 1 |
In their worst-case scenario, the sea level could rise by six feet by the end of this century, and the pace could pick up drastically in the 22nd century. | Between 1993 and 2017, the global mean sea level rose on average by 3.1 ± 0.3 mm per year, with an acceleration detected as well. | 1 |
Using satellite data rather than tide-gauge data that is normally used to measure sea levels allows for more precise estimates of global sea level, since it provides measurements of the open ocean. | Tide gauges can only measure relative sea level, whilst satellites can also measure absolute sea level changes. | 0 |
“The oceans, which absorb more than 90% of the extra CO2 pumped into the atmosphere“ | More recently, anthropogenic activities have steadily increased the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere; about 30–40% of the added CO2 is absorbed by the oceans, forming carbonic acid and lowering the pH (now below 8.1) through a process called ocean acidification. | 0 |
Coral atolls grow as sea levels rise. | [page needed][need quotation to verify] Conditions during the Paleolithic Age went through a set of glacial and interglacial periods in which the climate periodically fluctuated between warm and cool temperatures. | 1 |
IPCC were wrong about Himalayan glaciers | Two errors include the melting of Himalayan glaciers (see later section), and Dutch land area that is below sea level. | 0 |
As a result, "The warmest year on US record is now 1934. | In 2012, the United States experienced its warmest year on record. | 0 |
Rising CO2 increases atmospheric water vapor, which makes global warming much worse. | Climate scientists have reached a consensus that the earth is undergoing significant anthropogenic (human-induced) global warming. | 1 |
