Right-wing media could not be more wrong about the 1.5°C carbon budget paper | Dana Nuccitelli

As usual, conservative media outlets distorted a climate science paper to advance the denialist agenda

Last week, Nature Geoscience published a study suggesting that we have a bigger remaining carbon budget than previously thought to keep global warming below the 1.5C aggressive Paris climate target. Many scientists quickly commented that the paper's conclusion was based on some questionable assumptions, and this single study shouldn't be blindly accepted as gospel truth.

Conservative media outlets did even worse than that. They took one part of the paper's analysis out of context and grossly distorted its conclusions to advance their anti-climate agenda.
