Analysis / Bias
In review, Real Climate Science is the personal blog of Tony Heller, whose mission is to debunk the consensus that
climate change is strongly human-influenced. Articles and headlines often feature highly emotional wording such as this
Alarmists Using Children For Climate Fodder. This is a video story narrated by Tony Heller that claims the solutions for climate change are the same as communism. Politically, Real Climate Science aligns with the right through the support of former President Trump’s environmental deregulation and human-influenced climate change denial
Obama’s Plan Vs. Trump’s Plan. In general, Tony Heller and his Real Climate Science blog believe that climate change is
The Biggest Fraud In History. This theory is at odds with the
consensus of science. According to a recent report by
Cornell University, “More than 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers agree that climate change is mainly caused by humans, according to a new survey of 88,125 climate-related studies.”
Most of the information published on this blog is not derived from peer-reviewed research; in fact, Mr. Heller explains why peer-reviewed studies in climate change are “worthless”
Why Climate Science Peer Review Is Worthless. In general, Real Climate Science is opposed to Real Climate Science.
