This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

86%

Examples:

  • Challenging for other countries to break away from the market position that Russia has built over decades.
  • Modi's controversial visit to Moscow coincided with Russia raining missiles down on a children's hospital in Ukraine, but he was personally driven around by Putin in an electric car at his residence.

Conflicts of Interest

62%

Examples:

  • The author fails to disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The article claims that warmer air temperatures have driven ice loss and raises land temperatures which causes permafrost melt, releasing planet-warming carbon dioxide and methane. However, it is not clear from the article whether this causation relationship has been proven or if there are other factors at play. This is an example of a lack of evidence.
  • The article mentions some negative impacts of ice loss on indigenous communities and ecosystems, but it does not provide any evidence or data to support these claims. This is an example of sensationalism.
  • The author states that Greenland has lost 28,707 square-kilometers of ice over a three-decade period but fails to mention that this loss represents only about one third of Greenland's total ice cover. This is an example of selective reporting.
  • The author states that Greenland's warming rate of 2 degrees Celsius per decade since the 1970s is twice as high as global average but fails to mention that this warming rate is still within the range predicted by climate models for a low-carbon future. This is an example of selective reporting.
