Evaluating Claims

Article 1 from The Mail on Sunday provides a 3 sentence summary that claims global warming stopped 16 years ago based on a Met Office report. However, it relies on cherry picked data from only 16 years and an unreliable journalist as the source. Article 5 from the journal Science discusses research finding that ocean warming is slowing coral growth in the Red Sea, citing increased ocean temperatures of 1.5 degrees Celsius attributed to climate change. It is supported by multiple PhD researchers and data on ocean temperatures and impacts to coral.
