Bill Gates’ rejection of ‘climate doomsday’ still too alarmist, says climate scientist Judith Curry

‘Global warming’ is not unusual, has never been dangerous, and will likely be a net benefit. Nor is climate something humans can control. Climate fears are deliberate disinformation leaving the public with false ideas

“There’s a doomsday view of climate change,” said Bill Gates on Oct. 27. “Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong…. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Emissions projections have gone down, and with the right policies and investments, innovation will allow us to drive emissions down much further.”… Read more

Media’s coral reef madness is barrier to good policy

News about health of Australian coral is always bad even though the data shows Great Barrier Reef at record levels. Consistent bad news prods governments to waste trillions on non-existent ‘disasters’

By Bjorn Lomborg, National Post, Oct. 21, 2025

Reading the news, you would believe the Great Barrier Reef — the aquatic wonder off Australia’s coast — is on its deathbed, bleached beyond recognition by climate change. Recent headlines shouted in unison: “Great Barrier Reef suffers worst coral decline on record.” Environmental journalists are in panic mode about irreversible damage. But this is advocacy campaigning from media who consistently tell a negative story whatever the data say.… Read more

IPCC’s own model shows carbon taxes will have trivial effect on ‘global warming’

MAGICC calculator reveals that cuts in carbon emissions will reduce ‘warming’ by a fraction of a degree Celsius, while costing trillions of dollars.

An opinion article that appeared Oct. 5, 2025, in the Victoria Times Colonist entitled “Can we untie it?” argues that forest fires have dangerously increased in recent years mainly due to human-caused global warming, and that the smoke from these fires is deadly to humans in the short- and long-run.… Read more

Climate scientists deliberately deceiving public about ‘accelerated’ sea-level rise

For years, the world’s top scientists have known that they cannot prove there has been an acceleration of sea level rise, and yet they have told the public that they can. Now we know how they did it

By Michael Shellenberger, Public News, Oct. 24,2025

For years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has claimed that human-caused climate change has accelerated sea level rise. But that claim is false. There is no scientific evidence of accelerated sea level rise since the mid-19th Century, and thus none showing human-created emissions caused an acceleration in recent decades.… Read more

Physicists William Happer and Richard Lindzen interviewed on Joe Rogan Experience

‘Science is not a source of authority, it’s a methodology, based on change.’
Richard Lindzen
Joe Rogan
William Happer

Physicists William Happer and Richard Lindzen have been leading figures in the fight against climate alarmism for many years. In this video they explain their climate-realist views in a two-hour interview with blogger Joe Rogan. Worth watching!

Lindzen, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Happer, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton University. Doctors Lindzen and Happer are recognized for questioning prevailing assumptions about climate change and energy policy.

To see the video, which is on YouTube (with the usual warning that only the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has the correct views on climate!),… Read more

U.S. Department of Energy report debunks climate alarmism

Study finds CO2-induced warming less damaging economically than commonly believed and that aggressive mitigation climate strategies could do more harm than good.

On July 29, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a report entitled A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate that evaluated existing peer-reviewed literature and government data on climate impacts of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and provided a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.  … Read more
