Every outlet on Climate, check by check

Higher scores mean more climate misinformation. Scale: 0 to 10. 39 outlets and 1,274 articles over the last 90 days.

About these scores

Measures the techniques an article uses to misinform about climate: false claims stated as fact, false balance, hidden emissions effects and missing context. Outlets are ranked by the share of their articles with a false or dismissive claim; missing context is shown beside it and does not change the order. Each article is scored from 0 (none detected) to 10 (severe).

Every article from the last 90 days is scored on the same checks. Samples under 25 articles are marked as limited, because the median can move on a few pieces. Updated 22 Oct, 18:41 UTC. How it works
