De ijsbeerpopulatie stijgt en is vetter dan ooit.
Publisher’s rating: De berichten zijn misleidend en onwaar. Hoewel de totale ijsbeerpopulatie moeilijk in kaart te brengen is, toont wetenschappelijk onderzoek aan dat de klimaatverandering een catastrofale rol vervult in het voortbestaan van de ijsbeerpopulatie. Experts verwijzen de beweringen van het GWPF-rapport naar de vuilnisbak.

De zeespiegel daalt, blijkt uit een gedeelde grafiek.
Publisher’s rating: Het bericht is onwaar. De zeespiegel stijgt al jaren, dat wordt permanent gemeten door internationale klimaatinstituten. Het dalen van de zeespiegel in Scandinavië is een gevolg van polyglaciale opheffing, het fenomeen waarbij de aardkorst naar boven komt door de smeltende ijskappen. Het wordt ook veroorzaakt door de klimaatopwarming.
