Tornado Alley (PROG)

[blackhawks]

Learn how to read. Your guy was widely discredited and his article was immediately removed by Forbes. Neither of those things happen if you've got your shit together. Shellenberger doesn't.

Last I checked Greta hasn't been accused of spouting the kind of junk science nonsense that science illiterates like you fall for.

Six scientists analysed the article and estimate its overall scientific credibility to be 'low'.

A majority of reviewers tagged the article as: Cherry-picking, Misleading.

SUMMARY

The article by Michael Shellenberger was published in full or in part in various media outlets, including Forbes, Zero Hedge, Breitbart, PJ Media, The Daily Wire, The Australian, and Quillette.

The article has been shared more than 200,000 times on social media since it was published, according to Buzzsumo. Forbes unpublished the article on the same day it was published for violating editorial guidelines around self-promotion.

In the article, Shellenberger, who is promoting a new book, outlines a series of claims about climate change. As the reviewers describe below, several of these claims are accurate or partially accurate. However, others are inaccurate and mislead readers by lacking context and cherry-picking data while overlooking other relevant scientific studies.

Specifically, Shellenberger claims that “climate change is not making natural disasters worse.” As the reviewers describe below, this claim is inaccurate and contradicts reports from the IPCC as well as numerous scientific studies linking anthropogenic climate change to temperature extremes, drought, precipitation patterns, and wildfires[1-4].
