Environment
Yes, cruise ships dump waste into the ocean
Science
Claims you eat a credit card’s worth of plastic per week need context
A study estimated people could be consuming up to 5 grams of microplastics a week, but that number was the extreme high end of the range the scientists calculated.
Environment
No, you can’t see the Great Pacific Garbage Patch from space
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a large collection of marine debris that can be seen floating on the ocean surface. It’s large, but you can’t see it from space.
Environment
Some cities have outlawed new natural gas hookups but there’s no nationwide ban
While some U.S. cities have banned natural gas hookups in most new development projects, there is not a national ban in place.

No, it’s not cheaper to fill a gas-powered vehicle than charge an electric one
VERIFY found that it costs about 17 cents to drive one mile in an average gas-powered vehicle versus roughly 5 cents to drive one mile in an electric vehicle.
Environment
No, a study on Joro spiders doesn’t say they will colonize the entire East Coast by this spring
Researchers found that the invasive spiders could survive in the East Coast’s cooler climate, but it’s unclear exactly when they could arrive in the region.
Olympics
Yes, the Beijing Olympics is relying almost entirely on artificial snow
Artificial snow has been used at the Winter Olympics since 1980, but the Beijing Olympics will be the first to almost entirely rely on artificial snow.
Weather
No, it cannot be too cold to snow
Snowfall is less likely, but still possible, in extremely cold conditions.

While some people swear by adding something extra like sugar, soda and even vodka to their Christmas tree’s water, our sources say freshwater is the best option.
Extreme Weather
No, surveys don’t indicate the Kentucky tornado had the longest path ever
Officially, the longest tornado path ever was a 219-mile path through three states in 1925. Surveys say the Kentucky tornado’s path in December was 167 miles long.
Extreme Weather

Tornadoes as catastrophic as those that hit Kentucky on Dec. 10, 2021 rarely occur during colder months such as December.
