What we found (1)

NBC News tells its reader in the headline and the opening line that global emissions are falling this year. The research it reports projects a fall only in emissions from burning fossil fuels, while other coverage of the same study says overall global carbon dioxide emissions still rise by about 1%. The text supplied is cut off after the first sentence, so this assessment covers only the headline and that opening line.

  1. Uses figures that mislead

    Minor

    “led global emissions to fall this year”

    Why this matters
    The headline says "global emissions" fell, with no word that the figure covers only fossil fuel emissions.
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes the total amount of greenhouse gas or carbon dioxide put into the air worldwide went down this year.
    The context
    The study projects a 0.4% fall in carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels. Deutsche Welle reports that overall global carbon dioxide emissions still went up by about 1% once other sources are counted. The headline passes off a part as the whole.
