Attempts to ‘green’ finance are based on bad methods and severe conflicts of interest that put global monetary policy in peril—and Mark Carney is at the centre of it

By Jessica Wienkle, The EcoModernist/BreakThrough Institute, August 22, 2025

Over the past month, the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), has come under serious criticism for implementing modeling methods that are meaningless—and quite so, even in the broader context of increasingly meaningless climate change risk calculations. … Read more

Far from being dangerous, as the IPCC teaches, more carbon dioxide will create more food. However, driving GHG emissions to Net Zero and eliminating fossil fuels would be disastrous for billions of people

By Richard Lindzen & William Happer, CO2 Coalition, June 7, 2025

Below is the executive summary of a paper by physicists Richard Lindzen and William Happer that undermines the views of the IPCC and many governments that carbon dioxide is a harmful greenhouse gas that will cause unrestricted warming if drastic carbon emissions are not instituted.

Prediction of ‘extreme’ warming by 2070 shows that, far from facing a climate catastrophe, Canadians, most Americans, and most Europeans will actually be better off

In October 2021, the Financial Times of London published a map showing the climate-alarmist view of what our world will be like in 2070 in terms of “livability” (see Figure 1).¹

Arctic ice isn’t shrinking; coral reefs are thriving. Does this mean the death of climate alarmism?

By Michael Shellenberger, Public News, Aug. 21, 2025

It’s been a bad couple of years for the climate apocalypse. In 2022, scientists announced that coral was at record levels on the Great Barrier Reef, after decades of claiming it would all die out. In 2023, Greta Thunberg moved on to battling Israel a year after making clear that she had viewed climate change as a tool to fight “the whole capitalist system.”

And last year, the New York Times was forced to acknowledge that 89% of atolls, like the Maldives, were either growing in size or not shrinking, after the media and alarmists had claimed, for years, that climate change would wipe them out.… Read more

A warmer planet means a longer growing season; more CO2 means more luxuriant plant growth. ‘Global warming’ is making the planet more livable

By Steve Sawyer, Quora, August 11, 2025

One of the biggest problems humanity faces is not “climate change” but the global-warming alarmists who continue to spread fear with their constant reports linking every and all natural disasters to global warming (including recent heat waves), which they portray as an existential threat to our world and all of the human race.

So far, global temperatures have risen 1 degree Celsius in the last 150 years (per IPCC AR6). That is far from a catastrophe or an existential threat.… Read more
