There’s no doubt on CO2’s role in climate change, despite Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan’s claims
Claim:
Whether all that additional carbon dioxide is a function of human activity, that’s still debatable.

Is vehicle pollution still a problem? Yes, here’s why it still harms health and climate
Individual vehicle emissions have improved through tighter regulations and better technologies, but vehicle pollution is an ongoing issue that harms human health and worsens climate change.

MisleadingEarth was hotter in the past, but that doesn’t make humans safer from modern climate change
Claim:
It is not too hot now. Temperatures and CO2 are lower now than they have been throughout nearly the entire history of the Earth.

InaccurateTire fires in Kuwait have a much smaller climate influence than methane emissions from cows, contrary to claims
Claim:
Cow farts [methane emissions from cattle] are blamed for climate change, but there are bigger issues like people burning millions of tires in the deserts of Kuwait.

IncorrectRecent global warming driven by human CO2 emissions, not ‘little ice age’ or urban heat island effects
Claim:
“even IF mankind is influencing the temperature, it is insignificant compared to the natural forces”

How CO2 warms Earth through the greenhouse effect and why CO2 is not ‘saturated’ in Earth’s atmosphere
There is no doubt about it – climate science can be complex. But sometimes this complexity is mistaken for uncertainty.…

MisleadingNo evidence for a significant influence of volcanoes or solar variability on recent climate change contrary to Judith Curry’s claims in PragerU video
Claim:
Climate scientists disagree about how much warming is associated with our emissions and whether this warming is larger than natural climate variability from the sun and volcanic eruptions

IncorrectCarbon isotopes do not show that humans’ climate impacts are too small to notice, despite the Daily Sceptic’s inaccurate claim
Claim:
Human-caused carbon emissions’ effect on climate is ‘non-discernible’. Measurements of carbon isotope ratios in atmospheric CO2 indicate that it is the recent expansion of a more productive biosphere that has led to increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

MisleadingOptimal atmospheric CO2 for dinosaurs and plants is harmful for humans; current concentration is higher than Homo sapiens have ever experienced
Claim:
High CO2 was fine for the dinosaurs and high CO2 benefits plants today in greenhouses, so more CO2 can’t be bad for humans
