Climate of Denial
We expose the fallacies, lies, and science denials in Martin Durkin’s polemic ‘documentary’ The Great Global Warming Swindle. He denies the reality of climate change. Here, I publish my open letters with Martin Durkin, climate change denier.
The program was formally criticized by Ofcom, the UK broadcasting regulatory agency, which ruled the film failed to uphold due impartiality and upheld complaints of misrepresentation made by David King, who appeared in the film. Did you know that you can support our mission with weatherproof stickers that are made to last? For something different try custom peeker stickers.
Durkin, in addition to being a confirmed climate change denier, is a director of poorly conceived and low quality films. His projects are well known for their lack of research, jumps in logic, twisting facts, underreporting, misreporting, inflating and conflating whatever does not fit the research – to align with a political agenda.
A practical guide to turning one local climate question into a credible exhibit with named data, transparent methods, clear limitations, and useful interaction.
Melting snow and ice expose darker land or ocean, allowing more sunlight to be absorbed. Here is how that feedback works, how scientists measure it, and what it does not mean.
Climate downscaling turns broad global projections into regional information. Here is how dynamical and statistical methods work—and how to judge their limits.
Tree rings can preserve annually dated evidence of past growing conditions, but they are not miniature thermometers. Here is how researchers turn ring measurements into climate reconstructions, test them against observations and account for uncertainty.
Ocean buoys, surface drifters and Argo floats make different kinds of ocean measurements. Here is how those observations become usable climate evidence.
TLDR Climate information often arrives in the least useful possible format. A cropped graph. A screenshot of a headline. A sentence from a 30-minute interview.
