President Trump took a victory lap late Saturday after a prominent international climate change panel backed off using some of the most aggressive doomsday estimates after determining that they were not the most plausible outcomes.
The United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had quietly adjusted its modeling framework of a 4–5°C warming by 2100 last month. That framework had underpinned a myriad of other analyses predicting terrifying consequences for greenhouse gas emissions.
“GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that ‘Climate Change’ is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” Trump chided on Truth Social.
The IPCC framework in question was used to forecast a dramatic rise in sea levels, global crop failures, rapid melting of glaciers, and more, which made some hardcore climate change activists fret about future extinction.
But ultimately, scientists cited data and argued that the push towards renewable energies made that scenario less likely.
Trump, who proudly champions a “drill baby, drill” energy policy, has long been skeptical of scientific claims about manmade climate change. Last year, for example, during his address to the United Nations, Trump panned climate change as a “con job.”
“For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs,” the president added on Truth Social.
“Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT!”
Scientists had ditched their high-end doomsday scenario of the consequences of climate change in favor of seven other possible scenarios.

This ought to help Keir Starmer. (lol!)
Like that will change their tune....
I’m still waiting for my property in Otisburg to take off.
“But ultimately, scientists cited data and argued that the push towards renewable energies made that scenario less likely.”
They still can’t give up the big lie. They’re looking for a soft landing as their lies are revealed. And the media and governments around the world will cheerfully give them the cover they need
Which is why Greta moved on to Gaza.
In 2016 Guy McPherson, climate professor, predicted by 2026 no humans would remain on earth.
Well?????
> Like that will change their tune.... <
Last year I read an article about Climate Change predictions that didn’t come true. It was written not by a skeptic, but by a true believer.
The predictions were not wrong, he said. It’s that our limited efforts to reduce CO2 emissions have had some effect. The bad things will still happen. Just a bit later.
So we should keep it up the fight. And redouble our efforts.
There is no reasoning with those folks. It’s like a religion with them.
Less talk and more building of refineries dammit!
Don’t write him off yet. I’ve stopped buying long term bonds and, as of December 1, I’ll be buying no more unripe bananas
True, but by contrast the government doesn’t pay me vast sums to maintain and propagate the faith
The EU regulations remain in place. Perhaps they will come up with a new justification?
As for the USA and current year Democrats, all it means is the Dems are removing it from their main talking points at least to the next election.
Which is why Greta moved on to Gaza.
Na ,Greta lives on the Love Boat now ,LOL

First it was global cooling. We’re all gonna freeze. Then it was global warming. We’re all gonna fry. Then it was climate change...the perfect scary term for people who couldn’t figure out that the climate always changes. So now it’s “never mind” but keep fighting the climate anyway? Phooey!!!
Squawk! Existential threat! Squawk! Climate crisis! Squawk!
These people are such fools.
24 rat controlled states have filed suit to keep the impossible CAFE standards in place
You mean “WE ARE NOT ALL GOING TO DIE!”
LOL! As soon as I hear “redouble”, I’m out. So does that actually mean 4x? 😂👍
