- Physicist: Mainstream Media Jump on ‘Mistaken Belief’ That Extreme Weather Caused by Climate Change – ‘Actual data reveals…downward’ trend
- Climate change makes heat waves, storms & droughts worse – Claim weather attribution models
Climatologist Dr. John Christy responded to Climate Depot: "I wonder how they explain this over the past 100 years in the US?"
Christy: "The claim about Miami-Dade's rising number of hot days is dependent on starting in the 1960s (a favorite ploy of Climate Central) and picking a place that has had huge urbanization since then. But in the last 10 decades, there is just no story about the background climate even with Florida's stupendous growth near a number of these USHCN stations." - UN Sec-Gen Guterres Falsely Claims Weather Disasters Have Increased 500% in 50 Years

- DEBUNKED: Europe’s claimed ‘worst drought in 500 years’ – Peer-reviewed studies, data & IPCC reveal ‘drought has not increased’ & ‘cannot be attributed to human-caused climate change’
Extreme Weather Expert Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: For hydrological drought the IPCC is also quite strong in its conclusions: "Low confidence: Weak or insignificant trends"
In Western and Central Europe — basically Atlantic France all the way to Moscow, north of the Mediterranean region and south of the North Sea region — the IPCC and the underlying peer reviewed research on which it assesses has concluded that drought has not increased and, logically, that increased drought cannot be attributed to human-caused climate change.

- New Study: Little evidence of changes in extreme weather trends
Physicist Dr. Ralph Alexander: "The mistaken belief that weather extremes are worsening because of climate change is more a perception, fostered by media coverage, than reality. The IPCC's new statistical method is playing an unworthy part in bringing this sorry state of affairs to pass."
- Media’s claim that Lake Mead is shrinking due to ‘climate change’ DEBUNKED
Steve Milloy: Today’s elevation is not all that different from the low points of 1956 and 1965 (about 1,090 feet, shown in first graph), especially when you consider the increases in water use and human management of reservoir levels over time. No doubt that drought is affecting Lake Mead. But Western drought is natural (the region is a desert, after all), and Lake Mead was comparably low more than 100 ppm CO2 ago.
- NPR: ‘There’s a nationwide Sriracha shortage, & climate change may be to blame’
“Sriracha is actually made from a very special type of pepper that only grows in the southern U.S. and northern Mexico,” Murray Tortarolo said...but northern Mexico is in its second year of a drought.
