CO2 is greening the planet, not destroying it!

By Paul MacRae, Climate Realists of B.C., April 21, 2026

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other climate alarmist groups wish the public to believe that increases in carbon dioxide will destroy life by making Earth so hot that most life, including humans, will perish.

In fact, the opposite is true: as Figure 1 from NASA shows, more CO2 is actually greening the planet and making it more livable (in the graduated colour scale at the bottom of the image, the right end shows increased vegetation).

NASA writes: “According to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, from a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands have shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.”… Read more

New Ice-Core Study Finds No Clear link between CO₂ and Temperature

While temperatures rose and fell 3 million years ago as part of the ice-age cycle, carbon dioxide levels oscillated by 20 ppm. Rather than give up the Net Zero fantasy, climate alarmists argue this finding shows climate is ‘even more sensitive’ to CO2 levels since, they say, ‘even small changes’ can trigger ice-age shifts

By Chris Morrison, Daily Skeptic, March 25, 2026

The climate science world (“settled” division) is in shock after the discovery in ancient ice cores that levels of carbon dioxide remained stable as the world plunged into an ice age around 2.7 million years ago.

Levels of CO2 at around 250 parts per million (ppm) were said to be lower than often assumed, with just a 20 ppm movement recorded for the following near three million-year period.… Read more

Meet Tea Johansson: A teenage climate realist

10-minute video by a high-school student shows clearly that climate science is far from ‘settled’ and that carbon dioxide cannot be the ‘control knob’ of climate

By Iowa Climate Science Education, June 15, 2025

Partial transcript of the start of the video:

“Life on Earth is in crisis crop failure, social and ecological collapse, mass extinction.  We have a moral duty to take action.  These statements made by Extinction Rebellion reflect the climate alarmist narrative that has continued to escalate across the Western world.  Hysteria over climate change can be seen throughout history, from the human sacrifices of the Aztecs to bring back rain, to the Salem witch trials to eliminate the women they blamed for crop failure during the little ice age.… Read more

A vindication of Bjorn Lomborg—the Skeptical Environmentalist was right all along…

Lomborg’s experience shows what happens when a researcher challenges a powerful narrative with inconvenient numbers. Eventually the narrative is revealed as false

By Marian L. Tupy, Quillette, March 3, 2026

Summary: When Bjorn Lomborg challenged environmental doomsday narratives, he was met not with open debate but with efforts to discredit and silence him. Two decades later, many of his core arguments have quietly entered the mainstream. The convergence of his views with those now voiced by leading figures offers a lesson about the cost of treating scientific disagreements as moral heresies rather than opportunities for empirical inquiry.… Read more

Book review: Paul MacRae’s ‘Through the Looking Glass: A Citizen’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Climate Science’

By Derek Burney, Western Standard, February 14, 2026

Derek H. Burney is a former 30-year career diplomat who served as Ambassador to the United States of America from 1989-1993

Paul MacRae’s book Through the Looking Glass: A Citizen’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Climate Science (available on Amazon) is a meticulous repudiation of the pseudo-science that has driven the debate, nationally and internationally, on climate change or global warming for decades. The fact that apocalyptic prophesies by “experts” like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg have not materialized should be proof enough but MacRae digs deeper to expose the fallacies versus the facts.… Read more

If COP30 wants to crack down on climate ‘misinformation,’ it could start by cleaning its own house

‘Consensus’ climate activists and scientists have been spreading misleading information about a looming ‘climate catastrophe’ for decades.

By PAUL MACRAE, Climate Realists of B.C., Jan. 28, 2026

In November, 2025, the Council of the Parties 30 (COP30) climate conference in Brazil approved a Declaration, co-written and strongly supported by Canada, demanding “concrete action” against “climate disinformation” in favour of “accurate, evidence-based information on climate issues.” … Read more

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’)
