https://science.feedback.org/review/forbes-james-taylor-updated-nasa-data-polar-ice-not-receding-after-all/ | -2 | Forbes, by James Taylor, on 2015-05-19. | null | “Updated NASA Data: Global Warming Not Causing Any Polar Ice Retreat” | null | null | null | null | This article has been read more than 660,000 times since it was published in May, making it Forbes’s most read article on climate in 2015. So how accurate was it? Not accurate at all. According to the reviewers, this article contains numerous factual errors and flawed logic. The author fails to distinguish between sea ... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/andrew-freedman-mashable-hurricane-patricia-global-warming/ | 1.4 | Mashable, by Andrew Freedman, on 2015-10-23. | null | “How Hurricane Patricia became the strongest hurricane on record so quickly” | null | null | null | null | This article is accurate and based on comments from scientists with actual expertise in the study of climate influence on intense hurricanes. It describes the roles of El Niño, greenhouse warming, and other physical factors at play in Hurricane Patricia’s spectacular intensification.See all the scientists’ annotations ... |

https://science.feedback.org/review/andrew-freedman-south-carolina-flooding-climate-change/ | 1.3 | Mashable, by Andrew Freedman, on 2015-10-06. | null | “South Carolina flooding is the type event climate scientists have warned about for years” | null | null | null | null | This Mashable article does a good job at describing the relationship between the flooding in South Carolina and climate change. Long-term trends show an increase in the frequency of heavy downpours in the US, and this increase is consistent with the consequences of climate change. There is still debate, however, over a... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/betsy-mccaughey-wake-up-obama-climate-change-has-been-happening-forever/ | -2 | New York Post, by Betsy McCaughey, on 2015-09-07. | null | “Wake up, Obama, climate change has been happening forever” | null | null | null | null | The scientists unanimously qualify this article as misleading and flawed in its reasoning. The author asserts that “many scientists are predicting the onset of two or three centuries of cooler weather—which would mean bigger glaciers.” As the scientists point out, however, glaciologists have collected “crystal clear” e... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/tom-harris-deceptive-temperature-record-claims/ | -1.9 | The Washington Times, by Tom Harris, on 2015-08-23. | null | “Deceptive temperature record claims” | null | null | null | null | Our reviewers unanimously characterize this article as misleading and in disagreement with elementary science. The author uses a scientifically baseless argument to support his claim that an average global temperature for the surface of the Earth is a meaningless quantity.See all the scientists’ annotations in contextR... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/brad-plumer-el-nino-explained-why-this-years-could-be-one-of-the-strongest-on-record/ | 1.7 | Vox, by Brad Plumer, on 2015-08-17. | null | “El Niño, explained: Why this year's could be one the strongest on record” | null | null | null | null | Scientists unanimously qualify this article as accurate and informative. The article contains useful information for readers who are interested in learning about the ongoing El Niño event. The author correctly emphasizes the probabilistic nature of the impact of El Niño events on climate—the current El Niño, for instan... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/the-telegraph-christopher-booker-arctic-ice-has-made-fools-of-warmists/ | -2 | The Telegraph, by Christopher Booker, on 2015-07-25. | null | “How Arctic ice has made fools all those poor warmists” | null | null | null | null | Christopher Booker’s article claims that sea ice behavior contradicts the predicted effects of climate change, but his argument contains major scientific inaccuracies. It uses anecdotal claims as evidence, short-term year-to-year changes to dismiss long-term trends, and builds on cherry-picked information to reach its ... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/the-telegraph-dan-hyde-earth-heading-for-mini-ice-age-within-15-years/ | -1.5 | The Telegraph, by Dan Hyde, on 2015-07-11. | null | “Earth heading for 'mini ice age' within 15 years” | null | null | null | null | The article’s central message about an imminent mini ice age is unfounded, as it’s based on an incorrect understanding of what the Maunder minimum is, and jumps to conclusions about future climate impacts.See all the scientists’ annotations in contextUPDATE (05 Aug 2015): The original article has been modified and now ... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/pope-francis-encyclical-laudato-si/ | 0.9 | Vatican.va, by Pope Francis, on 2015-06-18. | null | Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si | null | null | null | null | Pope Francis’s encyclical rather accurately depicts the current reality of climate change. While it does contain a few minor scientific inaccuracies, and could be interpreted as understating the degree of certainty scientists have in understanding climate change impacts, the encyclical fairly represents the present con... |
https://science.feedback.org/review/mashable-andrew-freedman-vanuatu-cyclone-pam-climate-change/ | 1.5 | Mashable, by Andrew Freedman, on 2015-03-16. | null | "Vanuatu's president makes a leap in tying Cyclone Pam to climate change" | null | null | null | null | The main reason for the positive evaluation is that the author successfully places Cyclone Pam within the larger context of climate change and its’ effect on tropical cyclones, and does so by effectively calling on several scientists with expertise in this field.See all the scientists’ annotations in contextGUEST COMME... |

The evidence provided is insufficient: several examples are either inaccurate or only speak about one aspect of t... |
