Is climate change risk an invention of self interested and stupid?

No the graph is from "fake climate science" please link to the same graph on the actual NOAA site. I won't hold my breath.

 

By the well respected mediabiasfactcheck. They are very thorough!

• Overall, we rate Real Climate Science a Quackery level pseudoscience website as well as a moderate conspiracy website based on promoting that the solutions for climate change lead to communism. We also rate them Low for factual reporting due to failed fact checks and a complete rejection of the consensus of science in regards to human influenced climate change.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Real Climate Science is the personal blog of Tony Heller, who’s mission is to debunk the consensus that climate change is strongly human influenced. Articles and headlines often feature highly emotional wording such as this Alarmists Using Children For Climate Fodder. This is a video story narrated by Tony Heller, that claims the solutions for climate change are the same as communism. Politically, Real Climate Science aligns with the right through support of President Trump’s environmental deregulation and human influenced climate change denial Obama’s Plan Vs Trump’s Plan. In general, Tony Heller and his Real Climate Science blog believes that climate change is The Biggest Fraud In History. This theory is at odds with the consensus of science.

The majority of information published on this blog is not derived from peer reviewed research, in fact Mr. Heller explains why peer reviewed studies in climate change are “worthless” Why Climate Science Peer Review Is Worthless. In general, Real Climate Science is opposed to Real Climate Science.

Real Climate Science/Tony Heller/Steven Goddard has failed a few fact checks by IFCN fact checkers:

• “[T]he raw data, the actual thermometer data[…] shows that the US has been cooling for 80 to 90 years. But the graphs they release to the public show warming trend, and it’s all because they’ve altered the data.” – Inaccurate
• “NASA scientists fudged the numbers to make 1998 the hottest year to overstate the extent of global warming.” – Pants on Fire
• “[NASA] has been adjusting temperatures from the past[…] downward, while adjusting current-day temperatures upward, and those changes are responsible for most of the claimed global warming during that time.” – Inaccurate

Overall, we rate Real Climate Science a Quackery level pseudoscience website as well as a moderate conspiracy website based on promoting that the solutions for climate change lead to communism. We also rate them Low for factual reporting due to failed fact checks and a complete rejection of the consensus of science in regards to human influenced climate change. (D. Van Zandt 1/25/2020)
