There are a number of persistent myths surrounding COVID-19. This is the first.

A bit of the psychology of climate change denial. Link to full interview of Lewandowsky: https://youtu.be/7FQUsCyLzlE. Article: Lewandowsky, S., Pilditch, T. D., Madsen, J. K., Oreskes, N., & Risbey, J. S. (2019). Influence and seepage: An evidence-resistant minority can affect public opinion and scientific belief formation. Cognition, 188, 124–139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2019.01.011

World continues to do little about climate change.

From the Washington Post Oct. 3, 2019

“Satellites measure Antarctica is gaining sea ice but losing land ice at an accelerating rate which has implications for sea level rise.” WWW.skepticalscience.com

“Every part of the Earth's climate system has continued warming since 1998, with 2015 shattering temperature records.” https://skepticalscience.com/global-warming-stopped-in-1998.htm

Another myth perpetrated by the contrarians. Animals and plants cannot change as fast as the climate is changing. Check www.skepticalscience.com.

The warming trend is the same in rural and urban areas.

Based on an article in Forbes Magazine by Dr. Marshall Shepherd of the University of Georgia and the Weather Channel.

Models have in fact predicted most of what we are seeing in global change. Check the information at www.skepticalscience.com/climate-models.htm

When you are looking for evidence of global warming, it is easy to find and is overwhelming. The key indicators of global warming are all moving in the direction expected of a warming globe. Check https://skepticalscience.com/global-cooling.htm for more information.

97% of the scientific papers published by climate scientists support the proposition that current climate change is real and human-induced. Check https://www.skepticalscience.com/ and http://theconsensusproject.com/ for more information.

Short discussion of some of the fallacies of this statement. Check www.skepticalscience.com

The current cold snap is not evidence that the global climate is not changing.

Actually the Sun has been in a cooling period during the last 35 years. The Earth keeps getting warmer.

Yes, climate has changed before but not like it is now and not because of human activity. Check https://goo.gl/fX1sHU for information from Mauna Observatory and https://skepticalscience.com/ for more information.
