How NASA got climate change wrong
In this clip from Ep. 2 of the CERES Podcast, we take a deep dive into a popular graph by the NASA Climate website that people often share to allegedly “debunk” the idea that solar activity could explain recent climate change.
We’re talking about this graph:
We’ve noticed that this graph is widely-shared on social media and it’s also one of the first graphs you will find when doing an internet search on “the causes of climate change”.
Understandably, the fact that it was “created by NASA” impresses a lot of people. But, we show that the graph is pseudoscientific disinformation – not a genuine representation of the ongoing scientific debates over the causes of recent climate change.

Chapters:
00:00 The claim that “NASA has proven that the Sun can’t be the cause of any warming since 1950s”
04:00 First problem with the NASA Climate graph: urbanization bias in the temperature record they use
09:45 The shortage of long, rural station records for NASA’s temperature record
14:00 Has the UN IPCC adequately dealt with the urban heat island problem? No
18:52 Comparing rural-only temperatures to the urban & rural mix that NASA used
20:43 How do rural-only temperatures compare to other estimates of global temperature changes?
21:40 The other problem with the NASA Climate graph: the solar activity record they use
28:00 Summary of why the NASA Climate graph is wrong
29:37 This was not done by the NASA scientists that got us to the Moon
