    It's an Axel Springer rag, if they say water is wet I'm double checking.

    Die Welt has repeatedly been criticized for publishing climate-sceptic articles. A study published in 2017, which examined the publications of various newspapers over a period of one year from June 2012 to May 2013, found that 43% articles included in the sample were climate-sceptical, the highest value of all German newspapers. During the COVID-19-pandemic, the newspaper was criticized by the Amadeu Antonio Foundation for adopting right-wing populist talking points and misinformation about COVID-19. Liz Fekete criticized the newspaper in 2024 for uncritically adopting Israel's talking points on the Middle East conflict, to the disadvantage of Palestinians, and spreading false information about the prevalence of antisemitism among immigrants.
