“The article’s scientific credibility is very low. The author cherry-picks data, makes broad generalizations and characterizations based on incomplete or flimsy reasoning, and repeatedly misinterprets technological and economic progress in justifying false claims and misinformation minimizing global warming impacts.”
Claim:
Scientists were caught 'adjusting' sea level data to create false impression of rising oceans
Claim:
NOAA has adjusted past temperatures to look colder than they were and recent temperatures to look warmer than they were.
“In a cursory attempt at both reporting and climate science, the author glibly highlights a document heavy on accusation and light on reasoned engagement with fact. Implying nefarious motives behind temperature measurement bias correction without providing readers any indication of why this is necessary is misleading and a dereliction of the author’s journalistic responsibility.”
“This article grossly misinterprets open-access scientific papers by simply looking at graphs and entirely ignoring their meaning as explained by authors in the text.”
Claim:
'Global warming' is a myth — so say 80 graphs from 58 peer-reviewed scientific papers published in 2017.
The scientists who have analyzed the article show that it contains significant inaccuracies, notably for its core assumptions, and misrepresents scientific studies and scientists it cites to make its point. Reviewers also note that the article knocks down strawman arguments that do not represent the state of scientific knowledge (scientists do not claim the ocean will become a “giant acid bath”).
Claim:
Marine life has nothing whatsoever to fear from ocean acidification.
Claim:
there has been no reduction in oceanic pH levels in the last century
