When researchers abandon empirical observation in favor of predetermined conclusions, science transforms into propaganda -- something far more dangerous than the simple ignorance perpetuated. In climate sciences, funding agencies and international political bodies have dictated outcomes while authentic scientists faced systematic marginalization for questioning the prevailing narrative.
The issue of climate change generates fierce debate among scientists, yet the public mostly gets a sanitized representation of nearly unanimous agreement. This is a pernicious deception given the high stakes: Climate science influences public policy that drives huge sums in public and private expenditures across industries -- from energy to agriculture -- and affects billions of lives.
Much of our world’s economic fortunes have been damaged by computer simulations of climate models that regularly fail testing against real-word observations. These models, which serve as the foundation for multi-trillion-dollar "net zero" policies, have a well-documented history of overpredicting warming. They are programmed with a high sensitivity to CO2 while systematically downplaying the powerful roles of ocean cycles, solar variability, cloud absorption of radiation, carbon sinks, and volcanic activity.
Dr. Judith Curry, professor emerita at Georgia Institute of Technology, exposes the reality behind this manufactured consensus: “What climate scientists actually agree on is very little. Everyone agrees that it's been warming since about the middle 19th century. Everyone agrees that we're adding carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere… But scientists do not agree on the most consequential issues, such as how much of the recent warming has been caused by humans.”
Initially embraced by advocacy groups for her research on hurricane intensity, Curry later faced backlash when she questioned the overstated links between warming and extreme weather.
Curry critiques the rush to attribute warming solely to human activity, questioning the reliability of climate models. Because fundamental questions remain unanswered with any certainty.

CO2 is irrelevant as far as climate change goes.
Climate change has been changing for 4.5 billion plus years and will continue to do regardless if man is here or not.
The global warming hoax is a pretext for Marxist government to take control of the means of production. It’s sad that trillions of dollars have been squandered on the communist scheme. It’s sad that hoaxers like algore got rich off of it. On the bright side a large percentage of the population don’t believe in manmade climate change. The 7x24x365x50 years propaganda campaign has flopped.
Nobody expects the Climate Inquisition!
True.
“CO2 is irrelevant as far as climate change goes.”
The Democrats put themselves in this position. What Democrats refer to as CO2 is really emissions from things like cars and power plants. That’s not CO2, but it is carbon. Shutting down factories and forcing companies to spend millions on carbon sequestration technologies is really a waste of time when it comes to our climate.
Want to do something useful to cleanup carbon? Clean up the Ganges river. Clean up the Yellow River. These bodies of ware are so polluted that cleaning them up will have a greater impact on humanity.
Getting rid of Democrats would be far more beneficial.
Democrats pollute everything with their Marxist ideology for sure
No kidding. I think the covid nonsense is what woke the general public up with regards to fake science. From then on it was easy for many to realize climate change was just political propaganda.
As a result the public’s faith in science is somewhere down there with that of politicians. What’s different is one has an office the other has a lab. What’s similar is neither can be trusted.
Yep - without the Greenhouse Effect, Earth would be a frozen, dead marble...there have been a lot of times when it was considerably warmer than it is today - and only a few times when it was cooler...we are just where we are meant to be.
The second hand smoke hoax preceded the climate hoax and everybody accepted that, simply because they didn’t like the smell.
That set the stage for subsequent, science-based, government control.
First they came for the communists...
The Leftist/woke/”liberal”/”progressive”/Democrat Party Inquisition silences TRUTH, the foundation of science, in fact the foundation of Western Civilization.
That the administration does not have a comprehensive strategy to defeat the climate movement within the bureaucracy - in addition to the plandemic culture - is extremely disturbing to me and remains my primary critique of DJT this term. Yes, it isn’t even year 2, but cancelling projects is hardly going to prevent a return. No different than the small/tardy changes at HHS.
Congress, of course, is no help at all thus far and appears lameduck.
Climate Inquisition Silenced a Generation of Scientists
Even if junk science global warming was actually provable by the consistent results of scientific method-based experimentation, it remains that it is another example of corrupt, deep-state Congress's abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (16A; direct taxes) since the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to police the environment.
From related threads...
16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous [all emphases added], (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles. — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen [all emphases added], under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country. —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Trump's red tsunami of supporters, evidenced by his record-breaking win in 2024 elections, need to permanently preserve his legacy by making the repeal of the 16th Amendment (16A; direct taxes) the main talking point of 2026 midterm elections. More specifically, Trump supporters need to primary all candidates for state and federal public offices who refuse to publicly promise to support a resolution to the states in January 2027 for a new amendment to the Constitution that repeals that amendment.
The 16th Amendment is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime, front-ended by the deep state Congress's ongoing abuse of that amendment imo.
Consider that a resolution to repeal 16A was introduced as recently as 2021, but was unsurprisingly ignored.
We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
The 17th Amendment, popular voting for federal senators, needs to disappear too.
Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature. —Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Once unconstitutional federal taxing and spend is stopped, the states will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues that they probably won't know what to do with imo, healthcare, including taking care of the poor, and education, on the short list of priorities.
