Telegraph article on climate change mixes accurate and unsupported, inaccurate claims, misleads with false balance
in The Telegraph, by Sarah Knapton
« This article is a prime example of false equivalence, putting fringe figures side by side with mainstream scientific findings while failing to distinguish between their respective credibility.

The Daily Wire makes wild claims about climate change based on no evidence
in The Daily Wire, by Joseph Curl
« The article contains little to no rational treatment of observational data, but relies on heavily biased secondhand interpretation… Even the title is based on a lie. There is no ‘study’ that finds static temperatures for 19-years. This article is based on a newspaper article that makes this false statement based in turn on a blog post… »

Analysis of « Scientists: Here’s What Really Causes Climate Change (And It Has Nothing To Do With Human Beings) »
in The Daily Wire, by James Barrett
« The article misuses a Nature article on a geological process 90 millions years ago to argue the warming of the past century is not anthropogenic. It seems the reasoning is ideologically motivated rather than based on reality. »
