  • Fact Check: There IS Scientific Consensus That Climate Change Is Happening And Caused Primarily By Human Activities

    Fact Check

    Is there no scientific consensus that climate change is happening? No, that's not true: A scientific survey of more than 88,000 climate-related studies found that more than 99 percent of research agrees that climate change is real and primarily caused by human activities. Furthermore, a majority of credible scientific institutions and researchers in the U.S. and beyond unequivocally and publicly…

  • Fact Check: Purple Dot On Air Quality Map Is NOT Evidence Smoke Plume Was Caused By Gold And Lithium Mining

    Fact Check

    Did a large plume of smoky air from Canada, which spread poor air quality conditions to many places in the U.S. in late June 2023, originate from gold and lithium mining operations in Sakami, Quebec, and not from forest fires? No, that's not true: There were many large and well-documented forest fires burning in the region near Sakami in northern…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence NBC Reported That NASA Admitted It Never Went To Space

    Fact Check

    Did NBC News report that NASA admitted to never going to space? No, that's not true: There is no evidence that NBC reported on this. And there is no evidence that NASA ever made such a statement. The audio heard in this TikTok originates with an account that regularly posts about conspiracy theories. The claim appeared on TikTok (archived here)…

  • Fact Check: Tucker Carlson Did NOT Warn A 100-Foot-Wide "Fissure-Crack" Just Opened Yellowstone Volcano

    Fact Check

    Did Tucker Carlson in June 2023 warn a 100-foot-wide "fissure-crack" just opened the Yellowstone volcano? No, that's not true: This video is a mashup of various recycled claims and Lead Stories could find no evidence that former Fox News host Carlson had ever issued a warning about this volcano. Lead Stories did find other videos with similar headlines. Elon Musk,…

  • Fact Check: Water Staying In Jar Does NOT Prove The Shenzhou-13 Crew Faked Spaceshot -- Effect Of Surface Tension

    Fact Check

    Has the Chinese space program staged an elaborate and obvious hoax? Is an open glass jar with water in it sitting out on a table in plain sight during a mission evidence that they did not really go into space? No, that's not true: Shenzhou-13 was one of a series of manned space missions by China National Space Agency. This…

  • Fact Check: Buzz Aldrin Did NOT Say Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

    Fact Check

    Did astronaut Buzz Aldrin say the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing "didn't happen"? No, that's not true: The video clip in the post that makes this claim is misleading since it left out important context from one of Aldrin's quotes in a 2015 question-and-answer session. The claim appeared in a post on Instagram on June 11, 2023. The caption opened:…

  • Fact Check: Live Footage Of Apollo 17 Moon Launch Was NOT Faked -- Livestream Technology Existed In 1972

    Fact Check

    Is livestreamed footage of the lunar module Challenger's 1972 takeoff from the moon fake since the technology did not exist at the time to livestream such an event? No, that's not true: NASA's chief historian confirmed to Lead Stories that the "footage is authentic to the Apollo 17 mission." As part of the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s,…

  • Fact Check: CO₂ Contribution To Climate Change Does NOT Lack 'Definitive Scientific Proof' -- It's Supported By Overwhelming Body Of Evidence

    Fact Check

    Does the impact of carbon dioxide on global warming have "no definitive scientific proof through real-world observation"? No, that's not true: Relying on numerous credible observational studies coupled with an understanding of physics, chemistry and statistical analysis, contemporary science considers increased levels of CO₂ one of the major factors responsible for climate change. The claim appeared in a reel on…

  • Fact Check: 'Chemtrails' Do NOT Contain Chemicals Known To Cause Human Harm -- Chemtrails Are NOT Proven To Exist

  • Fact Check: Video Of Quebec Wildfires Starting 'At The Same Time' Does NOT Prove Fires Were Coordinated

    Fact Check

    Does satellite imagery from early June 2023, showing wildfires in Quebec starting simultaneously, prove that the fires were coordinated? No, that's not true: Many factors can explain why wildfires started in the Canadian province at the same time, including lightning strikes, dry conditions in the region and human activity. A spokesman for Quebec's Society for the Protection of Forests Against…
