Fox News promoted climate deniers and disputed the scientific consensus that climate change exists and is man-made in response to a proposal from President Obama to lower carbon emissions that contribute to the warming of the planet.

On June 25, President Obama delivered a speech where he laid out policy proposals to combat climate change, including the regulation of carbon emissions from existing power plants. Fox News immediately reacted by hosting prominent climate deniers and dismissing the reality of climate change.

America Live host Megyn Kelly cut away from Obama's speech after several minutes, saying that Obama's assertion that “the planet is warming and human activity is contributing to it” is “not the full story.” Kelly then turned to climate denier Chris Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, an organization that has financial ties to the fossil fuel industry. Kelly and Horner both pushed the false notion that recent short-term temperature trends undermine the scientific consensus that climate change is ongoing.

On Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer reacted to the speech by also pushing the idea that recent temperature trends undermine the long-term warming trend.

Later on Special Report, Fox contributor Stephen Hayes responded to Obama's speech by perpetuating the myth that there was scientific acceptance of global cooling in the 1970s.

Your World with Neil Cavuto hosted weather forecaster and climate denier Joe Bastardi, who incorrectly claimed that Obama was wrong when he said in his speech that the “12 warmest years in recorded history have all come in the last 15 years.”

Opening The Five, co-host Greg Gutfeld said climate skeptics “were right all along” and said Obama was “denying science” in his climate change speech.

And on Hannity, Fox contributor Liz Cheney dismissed the science behind climate change when she said that Obama is “using phony science to kill jobs.” She continued, saying that “the science is just simply bogus.”

But despite Fox's efforts to deny it, the fact is that the vast majority of climate scientists agree that climate change is occurring. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists that publish peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change agree that global temperatures have risen and that “human activity is a significant contributing factor” in the rising temperatures. Eighty-four percent of scientists acknowledge that the planet is warming due to human activity, and nearly 200 scientific organizations from around the world have made public statements acknowledging that manmade climate change is real.
