These are two examples of how climate scientists manipulate data to generate scary-looking charts. Global warming is real, but using statistical tricks to frighten people into panicking about it poisons the public discourse and leads to bad policy decisions.

A MERICAN SCIENTISTS have historically been leaders in the collection and analysis of data on climate change. The longest-running observations of carbon-dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, for example,

Beyond snow and ice, scientists point to a broader trend: winters are getting shorter. Research examining subsurface water temperatures in Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior shows that winter conditions are roughly 14 days shorter now than they were in the mid-1990s.

Activists are backing legislation that would protect Floridians from being taken advantage of by corporations' AI data centers.

The repeated claim that climate science is “settled” overlooks myriad uncertainties, competing mechanisms and computer models that miss the mark when tested against reality. Declaring fina

A surge of AI data centers is driving up power and water demand across North Carolina, increasing emissions and electricity costs for customers.

The brutally frigid weather that has gripped most of America for the past 11 days is not unprecedented. It just feels that way. The first quarter of the 21st century was unusually warm by historical standards – mostly due to human-induced climate change – and so a prolonged cold spell this winter is unfamiliar to many people,

A new study shows that, despite fires, floods and record heat, most Australians do not change their behavior or beliefs in response to climate change—except in a narrow window following a disaster. Lead author Dr.

Climate change is more than a buzz word -- it can be seen and felt across our communities. Climate Central reports that in 2025, climate and weather disasters costed $115 billion in damages, ranking it the third costliest year on record.
