The great climate climbdown is finally here

Scientists and politicians racing for the exits as climate-catastrophe narrative collapses in face of the actual, like, facts

​By Matt Ridley, Spectator, Dec. 2, 2025

Finally, thankfully, the global warming craze is dying out. To paraphrase Monty Python, the climate parrot may still be nailed to its perch at the recent COP30 summit in Belem, Brazil – or at Harvard and on CNN – but elsewhere it’s dead. It’s gone to meet its maker, kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

By failing to secure new pledges for a cut in fossil fuels, COP achieved less than nothing.… Read more

‘Integrity matters’ to Catherine McKenna—except when comes to climate

Video by former environment minister ignores inconvenient facts and promotes falsehoods to push an alarmist—and impossible—climate agenda on cities

By Michelle Sterling, Western Standard, Nov. 14, 2025

Catherine McKenna, probably best known as Canada’s former Minister of Environment and Climate Change, has released a new report in time for the COP30 climate conference in Belem, Brazil.  “COP” means Conference of the Parties that are signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) of 1992. Environment Canada, McKenna’s former ministry, has just produced an idiotically childish video to explain that for you.

“Integrity Matters: Winning the Future” is the third and final report of her UN-appointed High Level Expert Group (HLEG) on Net Zero Commitments of Non-State Entities, whose mandate was to set credible net zero standards for non-state actors.… Read more

Climate alarmists now say they never preached climate doomsday (even if they did)

The doomsters are not only trying to downplay climate alarmism, but they now want us to think they never believed it in the first place. And they wonder why IPCC climate science is not trusted by the public (hint: the problem isn’t climate realist ‘disinformation’)

The doomsters are not only trying to downplay climate alarmism, but they now want us to think they never believed it for a second. … Read more

UN climate alarmists aim to shut down voices that don’t conform to ‘the settled science’

Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change will quash climate debate in science and journalism. And Canada is eager to sign on

By Terence Corcoran, National Post, Nov. 19, 2025

The United Nations’ COP30 climate confab in Brazil is stumbling through its final few days with few signs of meaningful agreement on how the 190+ member nations can tackle what UN Secretary-General António Guterres refers to as the “dangerous and existential threat of climate change.” … Read more

Canadians should beware Carney’s centrally planned ‘green’ economy

If federal government ignores reality and continues with Trudeau anti-carbon policies, thinly disguised as ‘national interest’ projects, Canada is facing economic and political trouble

By Ron Wallace, EnergyNow Media, Nov. 17, 2025

On November 13, 2025, the Carney government announced yet another round of projects to be referred to the newly created Major Projects Office (MPO), established under the authority of the Building Canada Act (2025). … Read more

Bill Gates: We can afford climate action or poverty-reduction, but not both

Gates’s memo that there is no existential climate crisis has given climate advocates conniptions. They now claim they never predicted climate doom—although they did, often—and that climate spending need not come at the expense of social spending (which it has, in the trillions of dollars). It’s magical thinking and easily falsified by politicians’ real-world decisions.

By Alex Trembath, The Ecomodernist, Nov. 12, 2025

We have long argued that climate change is one among many challenges facing human society, not the existential threat it’s often described as. In poor countries especially, poverty and public health are by far more serious concerns, where the best defence against climate change is economic development, not emissions reductions.… Read more

Bill Gates sees the light on the ‘climate change’ alarmism that he helped to create

Billionaire recognizes that ‘global warming’ won’t decimate civilization, and that our trillions should go to more serious problems, like improving agriculture and health in poor countries

By Bill Gates, Gates Notes, Oct. 27, 2025

There’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this:

In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us—just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature.Read more

What happened to climate change, the existential threat of our time?

Despite fearful warnings by Greta and others, we’re still here. Maybe The Science is wrong after all…

By Ron Hart, OA Online, October 18, 2025

Just 10 short months ago, Biden and Kamala told us that “Climate Change,” closely followed by “White Supremacy,” were the two biggest threats to America.

Global warming is the perfect fashionable worry for you liberals so you can talk about it like you know something about science, seem deeply concerned to make you look empathetic, and so you can tax other people to act like you are doing something about it – all with no quantifiable metrics to ever dispute your “grave” concerns.… Read more

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

By Michael Shellenberger, PUblic News, October 29, 2025

“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
