Editor’s note: This summary serves as a fact check on the top false claims made about climate change by the media in February 2025.
President Trump has changed the climate for “climate change.” Among the many actions he is taking to reverse US climate policy from the direction it’s been headed in for the past 36-plus years, the one that stands out the most is the President’s move to review and (hopefully) reverse the 2009 decision by the US Environmental Protection Agency that emissions of greenhouse gases harm the public health and welfare.
The endangerment finding will be hotly contested and Climate Fact Check will be following developments closely. Meanwhile, here are five top fact checks and more from February.

What’s disappearing faster than glaciers is US participation in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). President Trump has barred US government scientists from participating in the next IPCC report scheduled for publication in 2029.
Our prediction is that the glaciers will outlast the climate hoax. Don’t miss these other great climate fact checks and more from our partners so you can be prepared for the coming battle over the endangerment finding.
