African wildcats and other species that prefer warmer climes roamed inside the Arctic Circle just 9,000 years ago at temperatures 5°C warmer than today, scientists have found. Turns out, the globe isn't boiling.
Climate fears are plummeting among Americans as a new survey shows steep drops in the number saying they are worried about climate change, with the sharpest falls in the youngest age groups.
Safety concerns around electric vehicles continue to mount as a ferry company bans them and observers warn of a sharp rise in explosions of the highly flammable lithium batteries.
Cherry-picked temperature data taken from near exhaust-spewing runways does not a scientific study make, says Chris Morrison. The BBC's latest steaming pile of "extreme heat" alarmism is just more extreme nonsense.
By the final programme of his five-part BBC Earth series, Chris Packham had perfected the art of using pseudoscience to push climate collapse "terror", says Chris Morrison.
Chris Packham's five-part series last year on the BBC called Earth, which warned of a coming CO2-driven "mass extinction", was propaganda not science, says Chris Morrison.
Now Reuters runs a 'fact check' of a Daily Sceptic Arctic sea ice story. Being accused of "cherry picking" by an outfit that urges journalists to claim climate change makes mangoes taste worse is beyond ridicule.
Climate scientists have hailed the huge boost to global plant growth and food production from the higher levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. "There is a social benefit from more CO2 in the air."
Further scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that the Earth’s atmosphere is 'saturated' with carbon dioxide, meaning that at higher levels the 'greenhouse' gas will not cause temperatures to rise.
The climate alarmists have been catastrophising about recent heatwaves in Mali and Burkina Faso. In fact, average temperatures in those countries have barely risen in the last 85 years, says Chris Morrision.
Chris Packham has hit back at claims made on GB News that half the world's population could die under Net Zero. But that seems like a fair estimate of the catastrophic harm of deindustrialisation, says Chris Morrison.
Do you think that the constant catastrophising of weather and climate in science and the media has just appeared by accident? In fact, a few fanatical billionaires are bankrolling the propaganda, says Chris Morrison.
