No wonder the Times (UK) omitted mentioning the ocean temperature

The Times reports: “Temperatures only 1-2C higher than the long-term summer average can cause coral bleaching.” But the paper omitted mention of the key study result — that the 2019 ocean temperature was a mere 0.075C over the 1981-2010 average.

New York Times also omits mention of minuscule ocean warming

A new study reported yesterday that ocean temp in 2019 was a mere 0.075C over the 1981-2010 average. While the NYTimes was happy this morning to yell “2019 Was a Record Year for Ocean Temperatures, Data Show”, the paper omitted reporting the ‘data showed’ a mere (and unmeasurable) increase of 0.075C.

Fake News media omits key finding (and debunking factoid) from ocean warming study

My guess is you won’t find this key tidbit in other media coverage either — even though it was in the media release.

Study: No experimental evidence for anthropogenic climate change

“We have proven that the GCM-models used in IPCC report AR5 cannot compute correctly the natural component included in the observed global temperature. The reason is that the models fail to derive the influences of low cloud cover fraction on the global temperature. A too small natural component results in a too large portion for the contribution of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.”

Orwellian: Climate predictions are wrong, but YouTube gives climate skeptics the asterisk

JunkScience and the Heartland Institute just collaborated on “Climate Prediction Swings and Misses: A Decade of Alarmist Strikeouts, 2010-2019“, a compilation which includes a short YouTube video.

Note that immediately under the video is a link to the “global warming” entry for Wikipedia. Why? Below is YouTube’s explanation.

That’s right. We present 10 wild climate alarmist predictions that were in print and didn’t come true… and YouTube labels our video as possibly misinforming people?

Milloy files greenwashing shareholder proposal with ExxonMobil

ExxonMobil says it plays “an essential role in addressing the risks of climate change.” But the oil ExxonMobil sells (when burned) emits 30 times more CO2 than the amount of emissions ExxonMobil claims to avoid emitting at its facilities. So what is actually being accomplished by the billions of dollars ExxonMobil spends “addressing the risks of climate change”? Below is my just-filed shareholder proposal.

Milloy files greenwashing shareholder proposal with Xcel Energy

Xcel Energy announced in 2019 it would be the first electric utility to derive 100% of its electricity from sources that don’t emit CO2 by 2050. Management should explain to shareholders what this will accomplish and what it will cost. Below is the shareholder proposal I just filed with Xcel.
