Ex-Climate Scientist sounds the ALARM on Climate Industry!!! : “In REAL science, you have a theory, you test it, and if the test fails you know your theory is wrong!…”
Alas, Climate scientists have decided this FUNDAMENTAL principle of scientific inquiry does not apply to THEM! Imagine if a doctor prescribed a medicine that killed its patients, or an engineer designed a bridge that fell down - the press would be ALL over it! Not in climate science… I smell a rat…

WASHINGTON — 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. They argued in the Geoscientific Model Development journal that a broader set of models should be used to assess climate change.
“For the 21st century, this range will be smaller than assessed before,” noting that the worst forecasts “have become implausible, based on trends in the costs of renewables, the emergence of climate policy and recent emission trends,” the scientists wrote.
Trump has rolled back a slew of Biden and Obama-era climate change policies. In February, for example, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the rollback of an Obama-era anti-greenhouse gas policy.
Trump’s comments drew criticism from Democrats, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who called the remarks “total disinformation.”

Key figures in the anti-climate change movement have since toned down their rhetoric, with tech tycoon Bill Gates, for example, conceding that global warming won’t cause humanity’s “demise.”
Critics have long pointed to wild predictions, such as a projection that Glacier National Park in Montana would melt by 2020. In 2020, officials had to take down signs about those gloomy warnings after the glaciers didn’t all melt away.
On the other side, scientists have argued that while some of the most dire predictions on climate change haven’t come to fruition, there still is widespread evidence of the Earth warming and the ice caps melting — albeit at a slower rate than some of the most infamous forecasts.
The more absurd the predictions, the more publicity they received in mainstream media which never questioned the pseudoscience involved in those predictions.

Sept. 25 (UPI) --China has pledged to cut the volume of greenhouse gases it pumps into the atmosphere by between 7% and 10% over the next decade and work to do even better, the first time the world's number one emitter of climate-warming carbon has made any such commitment.
If they succeed in reaching that goal, southwest British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest can expect a reduction in rainfall/snowfall in the order of 2-4%, in my humble estimation.
PresidentXi Jinpingmade the pledge in a video message to the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, promising that the world's second-largest economy would reduce emissions while at the same time "striving to do better."
Xi said China would make the cuts by ramping up solar, wind and hydropower to meet 30% of its electricity needs by 2030 and making EVs "the mainstream in the sales of new vehicles."
The announcement came just weeks before leaders of the biggest economies will join the leaders and senior officials from around 190 nations for the COP30 in Brazil, where they will submit their five-yearly climate action plans, known as nationally determined contributions, as required by the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
The agreement called for peak emissions before 2025, followed by a collective 43% cut in emissions by 2030 in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Environmental groups expressed disappointment with what they said was the lack of ambition in Xi's commitment.
"Even for those with tempered expectations, what's presented today still falls short," said Greenpeace East Asia global policy adviser Yao Zhe.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese welcomed the move but said it did not go far enough.
"It is good that there is progress being made, we would like there to be more. We would like to see them do more and we would like to see no new coal-fired plants open. But it is a step forward," said Albanese.
However, Xi's commitment was in contrast to U.S. President Donald Trump's message delivered in person a day earlier, in which he dismissed climate change as the "greatest con job ever" and touted efforts to push back on the United States' existing commitments, such as his administration's drive to use more "clean, beautiful coal."
Trump also took aim at efforts on the other side of the Atlantic to transition to renewable power, saying their "suicidal energy ideas will be the death of western Europe if something is not done immediately."
