Climate Experts Roast Joe Rogan After He Misinterprets Simple Graph to Claim Earth Is Cooling

Trump Officials Publish Climate Denial Flyers, White House Disavows Them

Like a well-oiled machine, the Trump administration is focusing on what really matters in this time of democratic crisis and pandemic: publishing climate denial “flyers” from the Office of Science and Technology Policy, including two authored by Trump hires, and then disavowing those papers and saying it “does not have intention to formalize” them. In…

Trump Taps Climate Denier to Pick National Medal of Science Winners

The president took a break from his grifty attempt to blow up democracy under a cloud of flatulence to do more damage in the job he has for another month and a half. The White House announced this week that President Donald Trump was appointing a climate denier to serve on the committee that chooses…

Amy Coney Barrett’s Climate Denial and Anti-Abortion Views Are Two Sides of the Same Coin

Much of the focus on Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination hearing for the Supreme Court has rightly been focused on her virulently anti-abortion stance and whether she would overturn Roe v. Wade. But over Tuesday and Wednesday, a weird climate thread also emerged in her hearing, namely whether she accepted climate science. Barrett, as she has…

Facebook Ads Are Giving Climate Deniers a Lifeline

Facebook is no stranger to climate misinformation. Just last month, the platform became a key player in spreading flat-out hoaxes surrounding the wildfires raging across the West Coast to an audience of tens of thousands, taking them down only after public outrage. And last year when activists pointed out that climate misinformation seemed to be…

The End of Climate Change Denial Is the Start of Something Much Worse

Last night’s presidential debate was an abomination by just about any standard. The sitting president told white supremacists to “stand by,” took no responsibility for the deaths of more than 200,000 Americans killed by covid-19, refused to back a peaceful transfer of power, and generally lied with reckless abandon while moderator Chris Wallace essentially took…

Facebook Follows Up Vow to Fight Climate Change With ‘Mass Censorship’ of Climate Activists

Just last week, Facebook launched an initiative to uplift climate science. It was wildly misguided, yes, but the company was trying to show it’s down for the cause or something. Now, the company is proving just how devoted to climate activism it is by, um, booting environmental justice organizers from the platform. Tight! Hundreds of…

Is This a Joke?

Facebook’s plan to combat climate misinformation running rampant on its site is here. It is a… “climate science information center” of facts, figures, and news stories about the climate crisis that obscures the systematic changes needed to address climate change while peddling tips that mirror Big Oil talking points. The whole thing is a giant…

Conservative Media May Be Influencing People Not to Evacuate During Hurricanes

The climate crisis is making already dangerous weather worse. That means it’s more important than ever to listen to evacuation orders and get out of harm’s way whether its catastrophic fires or souped up hurricanes. But new findings suggest that when politicians and media personalities deny that fact, the effects can put people in danger.…

Earth May Take Decades to Cool After We Cut Emissions

Imagine an alternate reality where world leaders finally listened to the science and implemented measures to reduce greenhouse gases right now. Well, a new paper shows that at least a decade would pass before the world begins to cool down as a result. Depending on the level of emissions reduction, we may have to wait…

Apparently It’s Sue Big Oil Week

It’s lawsuit week for Big Oil. A day after Minnesota filed a groundbreaking suit, Washington, DC District Attorney General Karl Racine sued ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, and Shell, alleging that the companies “systematically and intentionally misled consumers … about the central role their products play in causing climate change.” Racine’s consumer protection lawsuit accuses the three…

Climate Lawsuits Are Coming for Koch Industries

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced on Wednesday that he’s suing ExxonMobil, Koch Industries, and the American Petroleum Institute because the three firms deceived customers about the climate crisis. This is the first lawsuit of its kind to name API and Koch Industries, and it takes a novel approach by suing them solely for the…

Insurance Companies Are Subsidizing Fox News’ Coronavirus and Climate Misinformation

Insurance companies have issued some of the loudest calls for climate action, and they rely on hard data to make their assessments. But a new report from Media Matters for America finds that major insurers are top sponsors of Fox News’ coverage of highly misleading pandemic coverage, using tactics it honed through years of climate…

Michael Moore’s Garbage Planet of the Humans Has Been Removed From YouTube

Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans is a trash film that contains massive amounts of disinformation and dabbles in ecofascism. Turns out it also contained copyrighted material. The film racked up 8 million views and gained major traction with climate deniers and right wing groups thanks to YouTube hosting it and featuring it on Earth…

The Same People Who Peddle Climate Denial Are Behind Coronavirus Pseudoscience

Almost as soon as covid-19 began to spread across the U.S., science deniers began to call the deadly virus a hoax. “THE CV PANDEMIC WAS SIMULATED OCT 2019 BY MEGA-RICH CONTROL FREAKS BILL GATES, GEORGE SOROS +CRONIES,” conservative weatherman Piers Corbyn tweeted. “Stop the panic,” Steve Milloy, a policy director at coal company Murray Energy…

Here’s the Pro-Bernie Climate Scientist Op-Ed the Washington Post Wouldn’t Run

On Sunday, the Washington Post published an opinion piece by Fred Hiatt, the opinion page’s editor, entitled “How Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders Both Reject the Reality of Climate Change.” This false equivalence is, to put it bluntly, absolutely one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen. Hiatt’s piece inexplicably attacks the climate…

Climate Deniers Are Out of Ideas

Folks, the Washington Post had itself a Sunday night.

It took two reporters to do one of the most egregious pieces of both sides…
