Улаанбаатар хотын агаарын бохирдлын нөхцөл байдлыг харуулсан гэх зураг
Publisher’s rating: Худал
Scientists have found "no change" in global warming rates since 1970.
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
صورة لزراعة القمح في محافظة الجوف وتحويل الصحراء إلى جنة
Publisher’s rating: مضلل
“I own Doral [golf course] right next door, and we did that in a very environment … I get awards, environmental awards for the way I built it, for the water, the way I use the water, the sand, the mixing of the sand and the water …. I’ve had many awards over the years for environmental, the way I’ve built. Because you know about building, that’s what you do.”
Publisher’s rating: Four Pinocchios
Het WEF wil een verbod op zelfverbouwd voedsel om global warming tegen te gaan.
Publisher’s rating: Het WEF wil geen verbod op het verbouwen van je eigen voedsel, om zo de opwarming van de aarde te voorkomen.
The review says the WEF has expressed support for urban gardening, describing it as a sustainable way to grow healthy food and noting benefits for mental health. It also says a 2024 study about emissions from urban gardening did not call for banning gardens, and had no link to the WEF.
Zonne-explosies zijn de voornaamste reden voor de opwarming van de aarde en niet CO₂.
Publisher’s rating: Cette vidéo n'est pas récente, elle circule en ligne depuis juin 2021. De plus, le programme de recherche HAARP auquel les internautes font référence est incapable de contrôler la météo.
Pará decretou lockdown climático
Publisher’s rating: EXPLICA
The review says Pará’s decree declared a state of emergency because of drought and forest fires, not a climate lockdown. It explains that the decree allows emergency-response measures, but provides for no social isolation, quarantine, or distancing measures that could be interpreted as a lockdown.
CO2 trägt zur Biodiversitätsförderung bei / Biodiversität blüht mit mehr CO2 in der Atmosphäre auf
Publisher’s rating: Es liegt eine Fehlinterpretation vor. Forschende des Birmingham Institute of Forest Research haben jüngst herausgefunden, dass reife Wälder entgegen bestehenden Annahmen eine signifikante Rolle spielen in der Bindung von CO2 und somit im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Auf einen höheren atmosphärischen CO2-Gehalt reagierten die untersuchten älteren Bäume mit der Produktion von mehr Holzbiomasse. Die Auswirkung einer höheren CO2-Konzentration auf die Biodiversität war hingegen nicht Gegenstand der Untersuchung.
Het is in de laatste 500 miljoen jaar nog nooit zo koud geweest op aarde dan nu, de klimaatcrisis is verzonnen.
Publisher’s rating: Het onderzoek waaruit de grafiek afkomstig is, identificeert CO2 duidelijk als de drijvende kracht achter de klimaatschommelingen van de afgelopen 485 miljoen jaar. De auteurs ontkennen de menselijke oorsprong van de huidige opwarming niet, maar waarschuwen net voor de ongekende snelheid waarmee de aarde momenteel opwarmt.
"Sen. Vance has said that there's a climate problem in the past. Donald Trump called it (climate change) a hoax and then joked that these things would make more beachfront property to be able to invest in."
Publisher’s rating: True
Il n'a jamais fait aussi froid sur Terre qu'actuellement. Le léger réchauffement actuel n'a rien à voir avec le CO2.
Publisher’s rating: L'étude dont est tiré le graphique identifie clairement le CO2 comme moteur des variations climatiques au cours des 485 derniers millions d'années. Loin de nier l'origine humaine du réchauffement actuel, les auteurs mettent en garde contre la vitesse sans précédent avec laquelle la Terre se réchauffe actuellement.
The review says the study identifies CO2 as a driver of temperature variation over the past 485 million years, rather than showing that CO2 is irrelevant. It also says the study warns that human-caused warming is happening at an unprecedented rate.
Estado do Pará teria decretado lockdown por conta de emergência climática
Publisher’s rating: Comprova Explica
The review explains that Pará declared a state of climate emergency because of severe drought and forest fires, but the decree did not impose a “climate lockdown.” It says the decree contained no social isolation, quarantine, or distancing measures that could be interpreted as a lockdown.

Publisher’s rating: Verdadeiro
A relatively cooler summer in the U.K. in 2024 means globally summer 2024 wasn’t the hottest on record
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
Bomba! O IBAMA recebia ordens do STF para por fogo na floresta amazônica e no Mato Grosso NA GESTÃO DO BOLSONARO E CULPÁ-LO
Publisher’s rating: Falso
Vídeo de queimada mostra que aquecimento global não existe
Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO
The video shows a controlled burn in Alabama, not evidence that global warming does not exist. The review says the original footage was posted by CFM Fire Managers and taken out of context; controlled burning can be used to help prevent forest fires, though the review notes that it can also have negative impacts.
Vídeo de queimada mostra que aquecimento global não existe
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso: queima controlada é uma prática autorizada pelo Ibama para impedir que o fogo se alastre em regiões. Aquecimento global existe e é consenso entre cientistas
