Fox blames climate policy for Europe’s climate-exacerbated heat deaths

Fox News and Fox Business figures applied that same framing to U.S. heat coverage to make fossil fuels look like the answer to deadly heat

Special ProgramsClimate & Energy

Written by Evlondo Cooper

Published 07/09/26

As Europe reeled from a deadly heat wave, coverage on Fox News and Fox Business made air conditioning the story, claiming that climate policy had made it harder and more expensive for Europeans to survive the heat.

However, extreme heat is becoming more dangerous because of fossil fuel-driven warming, which makes climate policy more necessary. Fox networks instead used Europe’s deaths to argue against climate action, doubling down on the fossil fuel economy that is exacerbating dangerous climate impacts.

That argument is already being adapted to U.S. heat coverage. As American heat waves expose the strain on infrastructure built for a less dangerous climate, Fox figures blamed climate policy for making cooling more expensive, attacked climate mitigation and resilience planning, and defended more fossil fuel infrastructure. It is a convenient reversal: Fox casts fossil fuels as the answer to deadly heat, while eliding their role in making extreme heat worse.

Europe and the U.S. are both facing deadly heat made worse by climate change

Reuters reported at least 3,700 excess deaths during the June 20-28 heat wave that gripped France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. World Weather Attribution found that climate change made the European heat wave hotter and more likely, with a similar weather pattern now producing temperatures that would have been “virtually impossible” in June 1976 and still “highly unlikely at any time of the year.”

Europe’s lack of widespread air conditioning — which is shaped by its historically cooler climate, higher energy costs, and concerns about rising power demand from cooling — helps explain the death toll, but not in the way right-wing media suggest.

Much of Europe was built for a cooler climate baseline that no longer exists. As Mark O’Connell wrote in The Irish Times, “Our societies are not built, either figuratively or literally, for the world we now inhabit.” Europe is now the fastest-warming continent, warming more than twice as fast as the global average, and extreme heat is exposing the gap between the climate its systems were designed for and the climate people are now living in.

The American heat wave showed why the story cannot stop at air conditioning. Even though the U.S. has far more air conditioning than Europe, deadly heat is still outpacing the energy infrastructure that keeps people safe.

The New York Times reported that World Weather Attribution scientists also determined that the recent heat and humidity across the northeast U.S. and eastern Canada would have also been “virtually impossible” without human-caused warming, while Axios reported the event killed at least two dozen people, including 22 heat-related deaths in New Jersey.

Air conditioning saves lives during extreme heat, and more people will need it as heat waves become more frequent and deadly. However it does not solve the underlying danger. Instead, it moves part of the risk onto the power system, which is already being stressed by hotter summers, higher cooling demand, and climate-driven disruptions. During the recent heat wave, the Department of Energy issued an emergency order for PJM, the nation’s largest grid operator, as extreme heat pushed electricity demand toward possible shortfalls.

In addition, widespread air conditioning cannot protect people working outside, people without stable housing, people who cannot afford reliable indoor relief, or people who lose power when demand peaks. The scale of the risk is already visible in the American Southwest. In Maricopa County, Arizona, home to Phoenix, heat killed at least 579 people in 2023, the county’s deadliest year on record. As United Nations climate assessments link rising extreme heat to worsening health risks in the region, more of daily life is becoming harder to sustain safely without major adaptation.

Right-wing media coverage strips this context away. Global warming is making dangerous heat more frequent, but their answer is to attack climate policy while directing people back to the fossil fuel economy that has already made extreme heat worse. More cooling will be essential, but expanding air conditioning alone is not the solution. It will need to be paired with clean power, more energy efficiency, and heat adaptation to mitigate stress on fragile grids and reduce the burning of fossil fuels that are driving these harmful impacts.

Too Hot to Exercise? TIME Reports Climate Change Will Make Us All … Lazy? - Newsbusters

Joseph Vazquez

March 18th, 2026

Kick up your recliner chairs because you’re not going to believe this one! TIMEmagazine is out with a new report prophesying that climate change threatens to make us all lazy slobs!

“Scientists Warn of Health Risks As Climate Change Reduces Physical Activity,”read the knee-slapper headline from TIMEreporter Simmone Shah. Shah waved around a new wacky study published in Lancet Global Health to foam at the mouth over how “rising global temperatures due to climate change could lead millions of people to be less physically active” and will supposedly lead to an increase of half a million deaths by 2050.

Yes, they’re actually projecting this nonsense out 24 years into the future, giving the misleading implication that humanity writ large is completely incapable of adaptation. But as Hoover Institution Visiting Fellow Bjorn Lomborg argued in November 2022, “Around the world, far more people die each year from cold than heat.” And that’s according to — get this — another report by The Lancet that Lomborg cited at the time. So which is it?

Climate Depot founder Marc Morano blasted Shah’s propaganda in comments to MRC Business. “Here we go again. TIMEmagazine just keeps churning out the most simplistic climate fears based on ‘models’ and ‘projections.’ It’s hard to believe that the magazine can even write this stuff anymore.” Countering Shah’s underlying thesis, Morano retorted, “What if we work out in air conditioning? Wouldn’t AC make this argument moot?” But as Morano pointed out to MRC, Shah is on record pushing to get rid of AC units too, as her February 2026 headlineclearly illustrated:

“New Study Finds Air Conditioners Will Exacerbate Climate Change As Planet Warms.”Incredible.

In her latest piece, Shah apparently forgot that correlation doesn’t equal causation, and used the climate change boondoggle to lecture readers about the dangers of obesity, which now is apparently being worsened by Mother Earth's wrath:

Physical activity plays a crucial role in overall health and wellbeing. Limiting the amount you move your body is associated with reduced muscular strength, impaired cognition, and poor sleep, all of which can translate into lower on-the-job performance and higher absenteeism. Inactivity is also one of the leading modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases like raised blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity.

It’s not until the fifth paragraph of Shah’s eco-bile that an important caveat to the study’s underlying conclusions was noted: “The study did not reveal an impact in high-income countries, where adaptive measures are more likely to be in place.” Eureka! Who knew humans can adapt!

Did Shah bother to mention who financed this so-called study to begin with? Nope. One of the major backers of this study was The Wellcome Trust, an eco-activist global foundation that partnered with the climate-fanatic Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2024 to “accelerate global health equity” in part by “Advancing climate data, sustainable agriculture, and food systems. To better protect people globally fromthe devastating effects of climate change on health, solutions that draw across climate, health, and agricultural science will be needed.” Stranger still is that this connection wasn’t enough for the authors of the latest climate-causes-lazinessstudy to admit that Wellcome’s involvement presented somewhat of a conflict of interest.

“Rising temperatures create inopportune circumstances for exercise,” Shah railed, apparently ignorant to how sweating works. “Heat exposure is linked to elevated cardiovascular strain and heightened perceived exertion, along with dehydration, heat cramps, and heat exhaustion. Researchers found that if the world reaches 2°C above preindustrial temperatures, more than a quarter of the global population could experience an extra month of severe heat stress each year,” she continued.

That’s interesting, because as Muay Thai cardio kickboxing studio Hit House analyzed April 2024, “you may gain significant benefits by working out in the heat, such as an increase in oxygen, blood volume, and temperature tolerance. You may find that the changes give you a larger reserve of strength and stamina for exercise or your favorite sport.” Cleveland Clinic also noted in 2020 that “Warm, sunny days are perfect for outdoor exercise.” Even Outside Magazinereported in 2016 that “Heat training not only does a better job at increasing V02 [volume of oxygen] max than altitude, but it also makes athletes better at withstanding a wider range of temperatures.” Who knew!

Does this mean you should exercise to the point of heat exhaustion? Not at all, but Shah’s insinuation that the exact opposite could happen (wearing out the La-Z-Boy chairs) due to climate change is overreaching conjecture at the least and lowbrow scareporn at best.

As Morano concluded:

Even Time cannot stand behind their usual tripe anymore, noting that the idea that we are all going to be sloths by midcentury are only based on ‘a projection, and there is still some uncertainty about the exact real-world impacts.’

Climate Deniers Expected More Resistance to Trump’s Fossil Fuel Blitz - DeSmog

*published in partnership with The Guardian.

As Donald Trump assaults the legal foundation of America’s ability to regulate global warming emissions, climate deniers have been privately celebrating what they claim is the “silent” acquiescence of billionaires, Democrats, climate activists and even reporters to the president’s aggressive pro-fossil fuel agenda.

“In my 26 years of being focused on climate, I’ve never seen anything like this. Trump is gutting everything they ever stood for,” Marc Morano, a long-time climate denier, said in January at the “World Prosperity Forum,” a five-day event in Zurich, Switzerland, billed as a right-wing alternative to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The event’s sponsor was The Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank that has been at the forefront of spreading climate disinformation for decades, and was also a contributor to Project 2025, the policy blueprint for President Trump’s second administration.

“Billionaires are silent. Democrats in Congress have been silent. Climate activists. There has been no push-back on this,” Morano said — and he may have a point, according to some experts who research the climate denial movement.

“The Trump administration just marched in and destroyed the crown jewel of climate science in the United States,” said Robert Brulle, a professor of environment and society at Brown University, referring to the Trump administration’s dismantling of the country’s premier climate research center, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in December.

“And nothing happened. There wasn’t even a whimper. I never thought I’d ever say this: Marc Morano is correct.”

Last month, the Trump administration repealed the 2009 “endangerment finding” establishing that greenhouse gas pollution endangers public health. It was a determination that undergirded the federal government’s authority to limit climate-heating pollution from automobiles and power plants.

Elimination of the endangerment finding had long been a core goal of the climate denial movement.

Its repeal is just the latest in a long line of President Trump’s climate-related destruction. Since taking office in January 2025, his administration has significantly curtailed the country’s weather forecasting organizations and climate science research facilities, published reports denying established climate science, and made deep cuts to funding for climate-related energy and community projects.

Under the leadership of Trump appointee Chris Wright, the Department of Energy last year all but banned its key renewable energy department from using terminology like “climate change,” “green,” and “sustainability.”

”Trump overturned Biden’s climate agenda at breakneck speed,” Morano said at the Heartland Institute’s Zurich forum.

Instead of pushing back on this blitz, many Democratic Party representatives have retreated from talking directly about climate change across social media, podcasts, speeches, and in Congress. The party is now embroiled in a debate about whether affordability is a better message than climate action, despite polling suggesting that 63 percent of the American public believes the president and Congress should prioritize clean energy.

This trend hasn’t gone without resistance in the party, however. “Anyone who cares about what fossil fuel pollution is doing to Earth’s natural systems needs to ignore these so-called ‘climate hushers’ — people who think Dems should stop talking about climate,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) posted on social media in January.

Genevieve Guenther, a climate communications expert and founding director of the advocacy group End Climate Silence, largely agrees. “The Democrats’ climate hushing is politically foolish,” she said in an email. “It only benefits the Trump regime’s agenda.”

At the Heartland Institute event, Morano expressed delighted “shock” over the “flips on climate” of tech moguls Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, the founders of Amazon and Microsoft respectively, whose companies have abandoned once-ambitious climate promises as they confront the skyrocketing energy demands of their AI businesses.

Gates, whose foundation has donated millions of dollars to a think tank run by climate crisis denier Bjorn Lomborg, published a controversial memo in October arguing that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise” and advocating for ending climate funding in favor of direct humanitarian aid.

Microsoft and Amazon, which have donated large sums to Trump, have both recently embraced fossil-fuel powered AI data centers alongside Trump energy officials and fossil fuel industry players.

In early February, Bezos, who is also the owner of the Washington Post, slashed at least 14 reporters from the venerated paper’s climate desk. Just weeks later, the Post published an editorial board opinion, “EPA is right to reverse Obama overreach,” praising Trump’s repeal of the endangerment finding.

Morano noted that overall, journalists have been reporting less aggressively about Trump’s fossil fuel agenda. “When you have Lee Zeldin, the EPA chief, calling climate a cult, a scam, religion, he doesn’t even get push-back from reporters,” Morano said.

During Trump’s first term, by contrast, environmental officials like Scott Pruitt, who led the Environmental Protection Agency from February 2017 to July 2018, “would have to be very careful on climate,” Morano said. Otherwise “they would be beaten and browed by the media.”

The growing “climate hush” is not limited to the U.S. — a hushed silence about climate change has expanded across the globe.

At Davos in January, world leaders across business and government talked noticeably less about addressing climate change than in previous years.

Why? “In today’s deeply polarizing U.S. political stance, climate discussion has come to feel so radioactive that many leaders would rather avoid it,” Anjali Chaudhry, a business sustainability researcher at Dominican University, wrote about the silence in Forbes.

Even Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who once served as a United Nations Secretary-General Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance, limited his mentions of climate change at Davos to a quiet reference to the COP climate summit and a simple “Canadians remain committed to sustainability.”

Despite all this quiet, the vast majority of people worldwide, 89 percent, support climate action, even if they underestimate how much others care — a misperception that has added fuel to a “spiral of science.”

What can be done to counteract the trend towards silence? “In this time of ‘climate hushing,’ having conversations about climate change is more important than ever,” Katherine Hayhoe, a climate scientist and climate communications expert, advised in her influential blog.

For environmental sociologist Brulle, addressing the growing hush around climate must go beyond talking.

“I think the climate movement in the United States has failed. It has flat failed, and that means we need to rebuild this movement in a completely different manner,” he said.

Environmentalist Bill McKibben is more optimistic. “I think [the Trump administration] is whistling past the graveyard of their fossil-fueled dreams,” he said in an email. “The real story of the last year is how politicians, movements, entire nations are moving fast towards clean energy. They’re not all doing it in the name of ‘climate,’ but we’re making faster climate progress than we have at any point in the last 40 years.”

McKibben added a caveat: “Fast enough? Of course not. The deniers have delayed change and that continues. But it’s going far faster than they want it to — hence their resort to political gamesmanship.”

The E.P.A. Rescinds a Landmark Finding

But it’s not game over for future climate action—and understanding why allows for a more nuanced picture of where the fight actually stands now.

By Bill McKibben

February 20, 2026

It fell to Doug Burgum, once the governor of North Dakota and now the Secretary of the Interior, to offer something resembling a scientific explanation for the Trump Administration’s decision to rescind the Environmental Protection Agency’s “endangerment finding,” which states that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide pose a risk to the planet’s health. “CO2 was never a pollutant,” Burgum said. “When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2.”

Considering that, in recent weeks, Burgum has also appeared in a cartoon with a lump of coal known as Coalie (“Mine, Baby, Mine!”) on social media, such reasoning is perhaps the best that one can hope for. It’s roughly the equivalent of explaining to a drowning person that you’re not going to throw him a life preserver because water is a building block of life. Carbon dioxide is, in fact, among the most dangerous substances at work on the Earth; as it collects in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels, it is rapidly raising the Earth’s temperature, melting its poles, and setting off endless rounds of flood and fire. The latest warning came this past week, from a global team of scientists who noted, in a journal paper, that “we may be approaching a perilous threshold, with rapidly dwindling opportunities to prevent dangerous and unmanageable climate outcomes.” Indeed, recent weeks have produced predictions that a new El Niño is in the offing for later this year and, with it, the near certainty of new and dire temperature records.

Given all that, the decision to terminate the E.P.A.’s finding—which the agency issued in 2009, two years after the Supreme Court ruled, in Massachusetts v. E.P.A., that greenhouse gases are pollutants under the Clean Air Act—has to rank as one of the signal moments in America’s descent into idiocracy. Literally every major scientific organization in the world, not to mention every other U.S. President since 1988, and even all the largest oil companies, have acknowledged the dangers of greenhouse gases. The decision is of a piece with the Trump Administration’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and its efforts to disconnect satellites and monitoring stations—including, in December, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in Boulder—that the world has relied on to track changes in the planet’s chemistry and temperature.

The repeal of the finding will face significant legal challenges, but the climate-skeptic industry is convinced that it has won a final battle. “We are pretty close to total victory,” Myron Ebell, a veteran of the movement, who fought climate and conservation initiatives for decades and served in the first Trump Administration, told the Times. Marc Morano, who worked for Rush Limbaugh and played a key role in the Swift Boat attacks on John Kerry before he switched to attacking climate-change policy, appears in an E.P.A. news release stating that the Administration’s actions “will make America much safer from any future climate wreckage inflicted by potential presidents like Gavin Newsom or AOC.”

A Times piece on the E.P.A.’s decision ran under a headline ratifying a sense that the Rubicon is now in the rearview mirror of a gas-guzzling S.U.V.: “Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change.” The fear is understandable—the finding has been the linchpin of federal regulations on everything from cars to coal-fired power stations. But it’s not, in fact, game over for future climate action, and understanding why allows for a more nuanced picture of where the climate fight actually stands now.

It was in 1988 that the public debate about climate change began, after the NASA scientist James Hansen testified before Congress and warned of the coming crisis. But, for the next thirty-five years or so, the fact that fossil fuel was relatively cheap and clean energy was relatively expensive constrained the debate. For the most part, environmentalists’ strategies involved somewhat complicated ways to bypass that economic reality. If they couldn’t persuade elected officials to raise the price of fossil fuels through taxes, they could, for instance—and quite legitimately—argue for treating by-products of fossil fuels as dangerous pollutants and begin to limit their use on that basis. The finding, though entirely correct, was also always a work-around, a way of avoiding having to directly confront the overwhelming power of the fossil-fuel industry in our political and economic life.

Then, earlier this decade, it became cheaper to produce energy from the sun and the wind than from coal and gas and oil. Around the world, the surge in clean power is now moving faster than any energy transition in history. Over the course of twenty-one months, greenhouse-gas emissions in China have plateaued and even dropped; perhaps even more significant, coal use has declined recently in India, as solar fields expand, creating a real possibility that it may be the first large nation to pass through rapid economic development without relying mostly on fossil fuel. And new reports indicate that Africa is now the fastest-growing solar market in the world, with solar capacity up fifty-four per cent over the course of the past year.

The Trump Administration can, of course, hinder the development of clean tech in the U.S.—it has shut down under-construction windfarms, restricted the installation of panels on federal lands, and removed already built and paid-for E.V. chargers from federal buildings. That it has done this to appease the fossil-fuel industry, which provided enormous financial support to Republicans in the 2024 elections, is too obvious to be worth denying. But that effort speaks, at least in part, to the industry’s nervousness. It’s even in trouble in Texas, which last year led the U.S. in clean-energy and battery installation, and where, Google announced just this past week, two new data centers it is building will be fuelled by solar power.

So if a President Newsom (in his current role, as governor of California, Newsom just signed a new agreement on climate coöperation with the British government) or a President Ocasio-Cortez were to take office someday, with a goal to rejoin the international climate fight or just to restore the U.S. as a serious manufacturing competitor to China, their first priority would not be a new endangerment finding from the E.P.A. That was the right move back in the day. Now job No. 1 would be getting back to building clean energy. ♦

What they’re saying

“The Green movement has undergone a transition, one that moved from wise conservation and stewardship of the land, a position held by everyone a 100 years ago, to one that now promotes a far-Left political agenda that is decidedly anti-human and anti-freedom. We need to reclaim the mantle of 'wise stewardship' and save the environmental movement from itself.”

— Craig Rucker, President, CFACT (CFACT.org)

“I can feel the momentum building since our first gathering in Lincoln, Nebraska. President Trump's influence is clearly energizing the movement. I can't wait for next year!”

— Marc Morano, Director of Communications, CFACT (CFACT.org)

What’s next

The organizers plan to host the 'Land and Liberty Conference' again next year, building on the momentum from this year's event.

The takeaway

The 'Land and Liberty Conference' highlights the growing influence of property rights advocates who are pushing back against what they view as excessive environmental regulations and a political agenda that is 'anti-human and anti-freedom.' The conference aimed to reclaim the mantle of 'wise stewardship' of natural resources.

WOW BIG DAY ENDANGER HE IS ON 70’S AZ WEBSITE PRECOTT? ARPAIO PAL?

Trump Was Right To Leave UN Organizations That Don’t Serve US Interests | INSIDE SOURCES

President Trump’s January 7 memorandum just slammed the door on America’s involvement in 66 bloated international organizations, 31 from the United Nations and 35 others — finally putting an end to the endless drain on U.S. taxpayers.

This isn’t some half-measure; it’s the culmination of a thorough review kicked off by an executive order in which his team dug in and labeled these outfits as what they are: redundant, mismanaged, wasteful, poorly run money pits, often hijacked by globalist actors pushing agendas that clash with American interests, sovereignty, freedoms and prosperity. Many of them outright aim to handcuff U.S. independence.

The president laid it out clearly: We’ll cooperate with international bodies when they benefit the American people, and we’ll stand tall and say “no thanks” when they don’t. No more funding or playing along with entities that shove globalist priorities down our throats at the expense of our citizens, communities, states and nation.

The crown jewel of this move? Withdrawing from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, that 1992 relic that’s served as the launchpad for the “climate crisis” industry, net-zero fantasies, renewable energy mandates, endless treaties, junk-science studies, and heavy-handed policies designed to bully America (and the West) into killing fossil fuels, deindustrializing our economies, and micromanaging every facet of our lives and living standards.

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano nailed it: This is the end of “climate terrorism.”

Predictably, the outrage machine kicked into overdrive. The usual suspects — Climate Crisis Inc. politicians, activists, virtue-signaling corporations and their allies —screamed bloody murder because their gravy train just got derailed.

Friends of the Earth called it a “direct assault” on saving the planet from the UNFCCC’s favorite buzzword: climate as a “threat-multiplier,” touching everything. Al Gore went full meltdown mode, wailing that Trump is “undoing decades of hard-won diplomacy, undermining climate science, and sowing distrust around the world.”

Please. It’s all theatrical hubris and hot air.

Their playbook never changes:

—Pretend Earth’s climate was some perfectly stable Eden until evil fossil fuels showed up. Forget the Ice Ages, the Medieval Warm Period when Vikings farmed Greenland, the Little Ice Age that froze the Thames, or the brutal Dust Bowl and Anasazi droughts.

—Insist manmade greenhouse gases are the sole driver of weather, with doomsday biblical calamities just around the corner.

:{-Cherry-pick data while ignoring reality. Temperatures and sea levels have risen modestly at best; no Category 3-5 hurricanes hit the U.S. mainland from October 2005 to August 2017 (and zero U.S. hurricanes made landfall in 2025); tornado counts (both weak and strong) have trended downward since the 1950s.}

:

PRESTO! Crank up the faulty computer models, and suddenly we’re facing “unprecedented” cataclysms never seen in 4.5 billion years of planetary history.

Layer on the fairytales about wind, solar and batteries being perfectly clean, cheap and reliable “renewables,” with no mining devastation, no sprawling eyesores across landscapes and bird migration routes, no wildlife carnage, and no skyrocketing electricity bills or blackouts.

Suddenly, politicians feel even more justified ramming through electric vehicle and heat pump mandates, flight restrictions, meat bans (hello, cricket burgers!), and more top-down control.

Meanwhile, they conveniently ignore that modern technology and wealth have made us far safer from extreme weather and disasters than any previous generation. Yet these elites see no issue with unreliable “green” power — electricity when the wind blows or the sun shines, not when you actually need it, or with dragging our living standards back decades or centuries.

And don’t get me started on the education system that amplifies every alarmist whopper while moving to censor any inconvenient truths.

The fallout? An international community and domestic radicals who mostly resent America anyway. Real diplomacy? Influence? In a room full of people who despise us and wish us harm?

Worse, this globalist climate-energy cult shafts the poorest people and nations most of all, especially in Africa. Their bureaucrats pocket endless prestige and paychecks; regular folks get stuck with poverty and blackouts.

No wonder developing nations are waking up. They want what we have: reliable, affordable energy and rising living standards. That’s why China, India and other rising powers keep cranking out new coal and gas plants weekly while we’re lectured by U.N. bureaucrats.

Trump understands genuine diplomacy, real American priorities and protecting our people from this nonsense. This move isn’t isolationist; it’s pro-American, pro-sovereignty and long overdue. We should cheer it loudly.

America First is back, and it’s sounding pretty darn good.

Fighting falsehoods: the online battle over climate truth

Friday June 20, 2025

Global temperatures keep breaking records, and sea levels are rising. Reports from a United Nations climate panel say the science is settled, but it doesn't always seem that way online, where climate denial is thriving. Japan's Environment Ministry says that's undermining efforts to act, so it's fighting back with a new website that tackles myths and misinformation with cold, hard facts.

The global average temperature in 2024 was the warmest on record.

Climate change skepticism spreads

British news website Tortoise analyzed social media content from climate-related influencers. It says there was an 82 percent jump in the number of climate skeptic posts on the X platform from 2021 to 2024. It also says there was a 43 percent jump in the number of YouTube videos with that stance.

The United Nations Development Programme, which is working on measures to mitigate climate change, says there are two main motives behind the spread of disinformation on the topic.

One is to attract attention for profit. The UNDP says controversial views create followings that bring advertising revenue and political support.

The other reason, it says, is to protect vested interests. Delaying measures against climate change can protect the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry.

NHK spoke with Marc Morano, a former political aide and now an influential climate skeptic who disputes the link between global warming and human activity.

Marc Morano is a prominent climate skeptic.

Morano claims that the United Nations, governments and private companies stand to benefit from measures to limit carbon dioxide. He calls the issue of climate change "a clear fraud campaign" that has nothing to do with science.

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change disagrees. It says there is no doubt human activity has caused global warming, and says global temperatures have risen faster in the past 50 years than at any other point in at least 2,000 years. The panel also says climate change can be contained if we act in time.

Disinformation disruption in the real world

Climate disinformation isn't just a theoretical danger. It turned a civil debate into chaos in one Australian city. The council of Onkaparinga was planning to declare a climate emergency in 2023, but the meeting was swarmed by protestors fueled by false ideas.

Residents of Onkaparinga flocked to the city council to protest a climate declaration.

Opponents of the declaration had whipped up alarm with false statements on social media, including a claim that only electric vehicles would be permitted after the declaration was issued.

The meeting had to be suspended, with the mayor and assembly members forced to evacuate.

Ika Trijsburg, a disinformation expert at the Australian National University, says climate change issues are ideal fodder for those who disseminate falsehoods, especially in a divided society.

Ika Trijsburg

Climate myths surging on social media

Claims without scientific evidence are gaining traction in Japan, too. Environment ministry officials say they've seen a surge in misleading online posts since late last year, including claims that global warming is not happening, or that human activity plays no role in greenhouse gas emissions.

An analysis by NHK found a sharp rise in Japanese-language posts on the social media platform X that question the reality of climate change or criticize decarbonization efforts.

In 2020, around 60,000 such posts were recorded. That number grew steadily year after year, reaching 220,000 in 2024. The increase was particularly pronounced after November when Donald Trump, a vocal critic of the Paris Agreement on climate change, won the US presidential election.

Japan government tackles misinformation

Japan's Environment Ministry has launched a new web page aimed at tackling climate change misinformation by presenting clear scientific information about global warming.

The site, which went live Friday, compiles information from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, drawing on the latest scientific research to explain the causes and impact of global climate change. UN reports attribute it mainly to greenhouse emissions caused by human activity.

The page also offers domestic data that show a rise in the frequency of extreme weather such as heatwaves and torrential rain — events that scientists attribute to climate change.

Speaking to reporters after a Cabinet meeting on Friday, Environment Minister Asao Keiichiro voiced concern over the rise of baseless claims online. He warned that such misinformation could undermine efforts by the government, businesses and the public to combat climate change. He said the ministry will continue efforts to ensure people are well-informed about the issue.

Fighting misinformation and disinformation

The spread of climate misinformation and disinformation has become a global concern, prompting the United Nations to act.

The UNDP in Asia and the Pacific has announced the launch of Una, an AI-powered chatbot designed to talk about climate initiatives.

AI character Una can answer questions regarding climate change in multiple languages including Japanese, English and Chinese.

Melissa Fleming, UN Undersecretary for Global Communications, says the planet faces an existential crisis with climate change, and the UN is "in an information battlefield" trying to convince people of the facts.

Fleming says the fight is against special interests who want to convince people that climate change is a hoax or that renewable energy is unreliable or too expensive, so they would have to give up their lifestyle. She says none of this is true.

Melissa Fleming

Fleming says the UN sees this as "one of the biggest risks of our time." She says every player needs to play its role: digital platforms can reduce the flow of falsehoods; advertisers and PR companies can stop funding disinformation; and media-literate people and governments can play a constructive role in the information environment.

Right-wing media’s cynicism about climate leaves out ongoing global success of renewables

Special ProgramsClimate & Energy

Written by Ilana Berger

Published 02/02/26

Right-wing media are suggesting that the energy transition has permanently fallen out of favor as a global priority, evidenced by business leaders’ and governments’ rapid shift in focus toward artificial intelligence. But other recent milestones and ambitious projects signal that long-term interest in climate action is still very much alive.

At the World Economic Forum’s annual convening of elites in Davos, for instance, which has championed corporate climate ambitions for the past several years, right-wing media claimed the message this year was that renewable energy “literally cannot be used.”

Although it’s true that U.S. financial companies such as BlackRock — whose CEO, Larry Fink, headed this year’s conference — have largely abandoned net zero goals, and the Trump administration, which has encouraged fossil fuel expansion abroad, brought thatattitude to the conference, conversations about the clean energy transition continued to take place at Davos.

And reporting from The Wall Street Journal and CNBC demonstrate that business leaders are still talking about renewables, and the European Union just hit “‘a major tipping point’ of the clean energy era” according to The Guardian, with renewables generating “30% of the EU’s electricity in 2025” compared to just 29% from coal, oil, and gas.

ford Admits Defeat Ending Production of Electric Vehicles

By Erica Smith

Dec 19, 2025

Officials with Ford Motor Company say they expect to incur $19.5 billion in charges as they end the production of electric vehicles almost a year after President Trump ended the electric vehicle government mandate signed and approved by Democratic presidents.

Creator and Publisher of the Climate Depot, Marc Morano says despite all the incentives Ford sales couldn’t get above 7 percent. “Even mandated, even with forcing people, and taking away their choice, they couldn’t get out of single digit sales.” Morano said.

He says now, reality sets in. “There’s no government subsidies coming, the EV tax credit is gone, sales are tanking.” He said.

Morano says Ford isn’t alone. Crysler and GM are also feeling the pain, forcing the companies to shift and retool their gas-powered vehicles.

Faced with mounting losses since 2023, totaling $13 billion dollars in its EV division, Ford says they will now offer gas powered, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles, aimed to pull back from loss-making assets and to redirect capital to more profitable models. “Instead of plowing billions into the future knowing these large EVs will never make money, we are pivoting. We know the US market enough where we have a lot more certainty in this second inning of reduced-emissions powertrains.” Ford CEO Jim Farley said.

Morano says this is good news for America when these so called “green” vehicles were said to be environmentally safe. “To make one TESLA size 1,000 lb. battery you had to dig up half-a-million pounds of material from the earth.” Morano said.

He says he hopes the green agenda will go away permanently and this is good news for the country.

“This is a great time for America as we are shedding this weird era that if you are not “green” you are essentially an “evil” person, and your choice was taken away.” Morano said.

He says the country has been in a “ying-yang” going back and forth the last 15 years depending on the president in office. Morano says Trump can accomplish this by one- getting rid of the ETA Carbon Dioxide Endangerment Finding Act and to withdraw the United States from the United Nations 1992 Rio Earth Summit Treaty which broadened the whole Net Zero Climate agenda.

bEAR-MAGEDDON: 7 Outlets Scaremonger Polar Bears ‘Rewriting’ DNA to Fight Climate Change

Joseph Vazquez

December 16th, 2025

Apparently, our furry friends in the Arctic are becoming ingenious chemists to fight the climate boogeyman didn’t you know! At least, that’s the kooky notion a number of lefty outlets are pushing in their latest batch of climate change codswallop.

ABC News, NBC News, Daily Beast, BBC, The Guardian, The Independent and EuroNews all did the eco-scare dance over a new study and claimed polar bears were “rewriting their DNA” to fight climate change. No, you didn’t misread that. Amidst the repeatedly debunked notion that polar bears are destined to go extinct in the next few decades or so, the Daily Beastin particular, expressed “hopes that with these new findings we are able to reduce our carbon emissions to buy the bears enough time to adapt to their changing environment.” In essence, curb your carbon-emitting lifestyles or the bears are going to die!

Climate Depot founder Marc Morano blasted the media outlets perpetuating this nonsense in comments to MRC Business. “Scientists and scientific data have known for decades that 'climate change' was not threatening polar bears in the Arctic. The number of polar bears in the Arctic has increased dramatically in recent decades, particularly since a hunting ban was imposed.” Specifically, said Morano, “The polar bear population exploded from an estimated 5,000 in the 1960s to 30,000 or more today.”

Reading the headlines from the liberal media made it seem like polar bears were forced to take matters into their own hands.

The Daily Beast Breaking News Intern Tamilore Oshikanlu was adamant December 15 that “Climate Change Is Forcing Polar Bears to Rewrite Their DNA.” Gee, we never expected these mammals to be such experts in gene editing. As global temperatures rise, claimed Oshikanlu, “Arctic sea ice is shrinking, leaving bears without the frozen platforms they rely on to hunt seals … prolonged food scarcity appears to be driving biological shifts that allow some bears to better process plant-based and lower-fat diets when prey is unavailable.” Makes sense why the Beast’s full-time reporters didn’t want to attach their name to such stupidity so they kicked it down to the intern. Our sympathies, Oshikanlu.

Apparently the Beast wasn’t the only one to pass off the story down the food chain in their staff. NBC News London-based intern Elmira Aliieva was one of the first to break the story on the polar bear superpowers. “Polar bears are rewiring their own genetics to survive a warming climate,” read her headline. It’s as if these media types are just copying off the same movie script. She propagandized that climate change was “the icy habitat essential to [polar bears’]” existence. As such, wrote Aliieva, “new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive.”

ABC News reporter Brianna Alvarado’s story on the matter wasn’t much better: “Polar bears are 'rewriting their DNA' to survive warming Arctic, study suggests.” In the piece, Alvarado doom-mongered, “Researchers say the discovery of these genetic changes offers a glimmer of hope for the bears' survival, as two-thirds of the world’s population could perish by 2050.”

But this is a load of bunk, as Morano joked to MRC. “It is safe to say that polar bears are disappearing, but only from Al Gore's books and movies!” He joked that “In Gore's 2006 film, he made the polar bear a poster child for global warming, but fast forward to his 2017 film and book sequel, and Gore did not even mention them.” Scientists have testified before Congress that “polar bears have survived several historic episodes of much warmer temperatures over the last 10,000 years, and they have adapted,” Morano noted. In essence, polar bear adaptation to a changing climate isn’t even a new thing.

Morano argued that what the new study does, if anything, is reveal “some insight into one of the many ways these bears have adapted.”

BBC also exploited the study to push for an eco-regulatory state: “But despite the signs of adaption [sic] to a changing environment, [Lead researcher Dr Alice Godden] said efforts to limit global temperature increases must continue.”

A blogger for the British leftist agitprop-pushing publication The Guardian, Martin Belam, teed up the study like a movie trailer in his December 16 newsletter: “Amid the constant drumbeat of bleak news about the planet’s environment and the accelerating climate emergency, the occasional bright spot still emerges.” He then attacked humanity outright:

But is it really good news that human activity – the burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of habitats – is forcing animals to alter their genetic makeup? The picture, as ever, is complicated.

Darn those pesky humans, right Belam?

The Independent's Asia Climate Correspondent Stuti Mishra took it a step further than her media compatriots in her eco-alarmism by stipulating that full polar bear extinction was possible because of humanity, regardless of their newly discovered, er, gene-editing capabilities:

More than two-thirds of polar bears are expected to vanish by 2050, with full extinction possible by the end of the century if global emissions continue on their current trajectory.

Euro News reporter Liam Gilliver made polar bear “jumping genes” the main hook in his headline, before taking Mishra’s route and decreeing Bear-Mageddon in his lede sentence. “Polar bears face ‘total extinction’ by the end of this century, but scientists have found a small beacon of ‘hope,’” Gilliver sensationalized.

But the seemingly nuttier bits of climate change tomfoolery continuously oozing out of the media eco-sphere shouldn’t be expected to fade away, Morano said. “When current reality fails to alarm, the climate activist will continue to make scarier and scarier (unfounded) predictions of the future."

COP30 Round-Up: Failure of a UN Climate Summit Is Great News for Humanity!

By Marc Morano

December 02, 2025

Thank You, Mr. President!

Trump’s masterclass move not to send U.S. delegation, blamed (credited) for the failure of UN climate summit COP30! POLITICO reported that the ‘U.S. absence allowed’ BRICS nations “to team up with petrostates, isolating the more green-oriented European Union and refusing to countenance even a reiteration of past deals to end fossil fuels.”

The UN COP30 failure was so spectacular that even the mainstream media could not paper over it. POLITICO cited a European government official asking: ‘What the f*ck are we even doing here?’ A great question indeed.

I have attended in-person 21 out of the past 23 international UN climate/environmental summits. I can declare that after spending a week in Brazil at COP30, it was the biggest UN climate sh*t-shows ever! President Trump chose not to send an official U.S. delegation to the UN climate summit for the first time in its history.

COP30 morphed into Clear-Cut30 as tens of thousands of acres of Amazon rainforest were cleared for the summit’s climate highway. Massive energy-intensive cruise ships served as temporary hotels for delegates, while hamburgers, chicken, and other beef products were sold out at the UN food court (why were there no insects on the menu?!), and the venue suffered from leaking and crumbling infrastructure.

The conference morphed into CRAP30 when the toilets failed, with world leaders going hours without access to bathrooms, and eventually leading to long lines with no toilet paper allowed in the conference center toilets. The conference then morphed into Combustion30 as it succumbed to a massive fire that shut down the entire summit. A blaze spread through the hastily built temporary venue, which felt like a windowless circus tent inside.

With any U.S. delegation absent from the meeting, China reveled in playing the role of “climate hero” in order to suck up all of the gullible countries that are deluded enough to empower China further. China sent the second largest delegation to the UN climate Summit in Brazil and had a massive pavillion complete with Chinese flags, books by Xi Jinping and standing room only media events — thus proving accurate the 2012 tweet by Trump warning that ‘global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.’

Bill Gates’ newfound climate skepticism also loomed over the summit. Gates declared just days before COP30, that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise” and rejected a “doomsday outlook. This angred Al Gore, who showed up in Brazil to call Gates ‘silly’ and declared Gates a bully victim of President Trump.

Despite the entire UN climate agenda warning about the evils and the huge carbon footprint of air-conditioning, Bloomberg News quoted a top UN official screaming for colder air-conditioning at the summit. You would think that the UN, which is trying to manage energy economies centuries into the future, would’ve been able to plan a climate summit that included adequate air-conditioning, functioning toilets, and insects on the menu.

UN climate agenda flushed ‘down the toilet’

President Trump has seemingly left the global climate movement in shambles. The NY Times in September 2025, revealed that the “‘old climate-activism playbook no longer works” and that under Trump, the climate movement has entered “a uniquely bleak time…the future is cloudier than ever.”

Longtime environmental activist Denis Hayes lamented: “Everything that I’ve worked on in my entire professional life has gone down the toilet in the last six months.”

But, as we celebrate a failing UN climate process, we must also recognize that it may come back, just like Jason in any Friday the 13th film. President Trump needs to finish off the UN climate agenda with one more bold action: Withdraw from the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or the Rio Earth Summit Treaty signed by then-GOP President George H.W. Bush in 1992 and ratified by the U.S. Senate.

Vacating this treaty would give permanence to Trump’s agenda and free America from this 33-year-old UN climate terror campaign.

As POLITICO reported on May 14, 2025: *“During his first term, Trump declined to exit the UNFCCC, which the Democratic-led Senate had ratified during George H.W. Bush’s presidency following the ‘Earth Summit’ in Rio de Janeiro.”

“If Trump does pull the country out of the framework, it could be difficult for a new president to undo. Joining a treaty requires a two-thirds Senate vote — a high hurdle even in less polarized times,” Politico reported.

Trump 2.0’s climate legacy could become permanent, making it very difficult for a future President, AOC, or Gavin Newsom to get the U.S. back into the UN climate fiasco.

Mr. President, tear up this treaty!

Trump 2.0 is poised to strike a fatal blow to the climate hold that has been oppressing America these past 33 years.

While the teeth knashing over the COP FLOP continues, we must never forget: Failure of a UN climate summit is great news for humanity!

“A summit supposed to stop the planet burning, halted by an actual inferno, reinforced the sense that things are almost cosmically stacked against the global climate conferences…”

By KARL MATHIESEN

Excerpt:

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM — Sometimes the metaphors deliver themselves, dripping in flame retardant foam. So it was in Belém, Brazil, on Thursday when a fire briefly engulfed an events stand at the annual United Nations climate talks.

The scenes of a summit supposed to stop the planet burning, halted by an actual inferno, reinforced the sense that things are almost cosmically stacked against the global climate conferences, which bring delegates from the world’s almost 200 countries together every year.

“What the fuck are we even doing here?” asked a European government official, nursing a caipirinha at a riverside bar halfway through the two-week conference held in a city on the banks of the Amazon delta.

It’s a question increasingly being asked at U.N. climate talks. But it was perhaps more true of this edition, COP30, than any of its predecessors in the 33-year history of the international talks.

The meetings have typically been used for three key purposes: to set new international law; to act as a huge clean energy trade fair; and to serve as a barometer signaling to investors how much politicians are likely to back green policies in the coming years.

But the process is running out of laws to negotiate. The landmark Paris Agreement is done — despite Donald Trump pulling the United States out. Which leaves the trade fair, where companies come to make deals and meet potential new contacts. Fine. And then there’s the vibe check.

That last part is what countries have struggled with during the past two weeks. What true signal about the state of the world could the conference produce when there were zero delegates in attendance from the U.S., the world’s largest economy and oil and gas producer?

Countries entered the talks on the back of a series of underwhelming announcements of new climate plans. A third of the countries ignored the requirement completely. It was the job of this conference to address that deficit. But little of substance took place.

At this conference, which was still locked in vitriolic final throes on Friday evening as talks moved past their scheduled end, the U.S. absence allowed a group of emerging economies that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — known as the BRICS —to team up with petrostates, isolating the more green-oriented European Union and refusing to countenance even a reiteration of past deals to end fossil fuels.

It felt, delegates said, like part of a larger power shift. Where confident rising powers trod over the interests of a divided West. “This is a BRICS COP,” a European diplomat said.

…

But if the U.N. summits can’t even showcase the best of what is happening on the ground and instead the message is one of ambivalence, then it’s little wonder that most investors simply ignore the final outcomes at the U.N. climate talks these days.

Many are calling for these talks to take on a much more practical dimension. “We’re at a bit of a turning point on what happens at COPs,” said Jennifer Morgan, Germany’s former climate envoy. The conferences needed to bring the businesses and investors from the clean tech sector closer into the talks, she said, so there would be “the real doers engaging more with the actual policy makers.”

…

But these talks quickly got bogged down by the refusal of the wealthy countries at the talks to commit to increasing their level of financial support to help poorer countries deal with their own environmental problems. Without the diplomatic heft and experience of the Americans, there was no country that could break down the resistance from Saudi Arabia, China or India.

In lieu of fixing climate change, COP30 pivoted to another goal: Defending multilateralism. Which sounded a lot like agreeing to anything, just to project a sense that the show would go on — a soft repudiation of the U.S. president’s derision for the climate “con job” and his attempts to jolt the world back towards fossil fuels.

The disregard is mutual. Throughout Thursday, an unflattering statue of Donald Trump — a U.N. head of state — stood unmolested by the guards at the gates of the U.N. venue.

This process faces at least three more years of talks without the elephant in the room. It will need to change — or become further detached from reality.

‘Climate doom is not science’ – Retracted study in journal Nature ‘fails even as a piece of speculative modeling’

Climate doom is not science

IFrame Content

By Ross Clark

The costs of not dealing with climate change are, of course, much higher than the costs of dealing with it. We know this because, as climate campaigners keep telling us, climate change is going to set the world alight and unleash mad tempests which are going to wreak destruction on the global economy. Not a few of them have been trying to prove this by parroting a paper by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research published in the journal Nature in 2024 which concluded that a rise of 8.5 Celsius in global temperatures by 2100 will shrink the economy by 62 percent. Never mind that hardly anyone thinks that such temperature rises are even remotely likely – we are certainly not presently experiencing even nearly such an upwards trend in global temperature – the paper was widely reported as scientific fact rather than as a piece of highly speculative modeling.

But now it appears that the paper fails even as a piece of speculative modeling. Following a critique by economists at Stanford University in August the paper has been withdrawn by Nature. A cock-up with the data for a single country, Uzbekistan, turns out to have skewed the figures so much that, when corrected, the paper suggested a fall of 23 percent in global economic output, not 62 percent.

Needless to say, the reaction of some climate campaigners has been to say that 20 percent of the global economy is still quite a lot of money, and still shows the dramatic impact of a changing climate. But that is hardly the point. If you can magically reinstate 40 percent of global output by correcting some statistics for Uzbekistan, what does it tell you about the whole exercise? This, and all other modeling of its kind, are essentially useless. Economic forecasts for 12 months ahead have shown themselves to have a pretty appalling record. Why does anyone think that a study trying to predict the global economy in 75 years’ time – climate change or no climate change – has any veracity whatsoever? All the model is doing is reflecting the assumptions which are put into it, which are themselves skewed by the prejudices of the people who build it. In this case, and in the case of all this kind of research, that tends to focus on negative effects of a changing climate – higher temperatures and rainfall – while ignoring the positive changes: fewer cold extremes and a world which appears to be becoming steadily less windy.

…

One apocalyptic paper in a scientific journal has been exposed as deeply flawed – a piece of news which is unlikely to be reported with nearly as much enthusiasm as the original paper. But that doesn’t mean that we won’t continue to be bombarded with fanciful, doom-laden predictions regarding climate change. There is a deep negative bias in this kind of work, and that will remain the case.

Top Journal Retracts Study Predicting Catastrophic Climate Toll

While growing evidence shows that carbon emissions are harming the economy, the journal Nature found that an outlier paper had deep flaws.

By Lydia DePillis

Dec. 3, 2025

In April 2024, the prestigious journal Nature released a study finding that climate change would cause far more economic damage by the end of the century than previous estimates had suggested. The conclusion grabbed headlines and citations around the world, and was incorporated in risk management scenarios used by central banks.

On Wednesday, Nature retracted it, adding to the debate on the extent of climate change’s toll on society.

The decision came after a team of economists noticed problems with the data for one country, Uzbekistan, that significantly skewed the results. If Uzbekistan were excluded, they found, the damages would look similar to earlier research. Instead of a 62 percent decline in economic output by 2100 in a world where carbon emissions continue unabated, global output would be reduced by 23 percent.

Of course, erasing more than 20 percent of the world’s economic activity would still be a devastating blow to human welfare. The paper’s detractors emphasize that climate change is a major threat, as recent meta analyses have found, and that more should be done to address it — but, they say, unusual results should be treated skeptically.

“Most people for the last decade have thought that a 20 percent reduction in 2100 was an insanely large number,” said Solomon Hsiang, a professor of global environmental policy at Stanford University who co-wrote the critique published in August. “So the fact that this paper is coming out saying 60 percent is off the chart.”

Retractions have become more common in recent years, according to Retraction Watch, an organization that tracks corrections in scientific journals. But they are still rare, amounting to about one in 500 articles published.

Economists have long struggled to incorporate granular, sometimes subtle impacts of climate change into models that forecast far into the future, especially when combining them with something as complex as the global economy.

The study was led by Leonie Wenz, an economist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, and Maximilian Kotz, who was a postdoctoral researcher at the institute. The team devised several novel techniques to more comprehensively capture climate change’s economic ramifications.

They used a painstakingly compiled data set of economic conditions in geographic areas smaller than countries, like states and provinces. They incorporated a range of climatic conditions, such as rainfall and heat waves, rather than just average temperatures. And they took into account the effects of extreme weather events over a decade, rather than assuming they dissipated quickly.

“We were trying to understand how long we can observe these impacts in the data,” Ms. Wenz said. “That led to higher damage magnitudes compared to work that wasn’t taking these more persistent effects into account.”

It also led to a striking comparison with the costs of avoiding catastrophic warming. Damages that are essentially baked in over the next 25 years will cost six times the money it would take to lower emissions enough to limit the world to 2 degrees Celsius of warming, the goal set by the Paris Climate Accord.

The paper’s ambitious scope attracted the Network for Greening the Financial System, a network of mostly European central banks and financial regulators, as it updated a guide that is used for stress testing whether banks would remain sound as climate damage mounted. After questions were raised, the organization added a disclaimer to the guide, and said it would rely on a wider range of other research for future updates.

The paper was also cited by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and was in the top 5 percent of journal articles tracked by Altmetric, a measurement tool for research impact. Carbon Brief, a climate-focused news outlet, found it was the second most referenced climate paper in 2024.

But the criticisms mounted. A few days after the researchers’ comment published over the summer, another came from a colleague of the authors at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Christof Schötz. He focused on a common problem when teasing out the impact of one variable for many different geographical points: Nearby places often behave similarly to each other. The authors’ failure to account for those correlations, Mr. Schötz argued, made the results so uncertain that they were essentially worthless.

“The paper does not provide additional evidence of economic damages from climate change, nor can it serve as a basis for reliable future projections,” he said in an email.

In response to the counterarguments, Mr. Kotz and Ms. Wenz made corrections that they said altered the results only modestly, with a slightly larger uncertainty range and slightly smaller economic impact by the end of the century. “There are small quantitative changes, but these general qualitative messages are very much the same,” Mr. Kotz said.

They plan to revise the paper and resubmit it.

Some researchers say it is still possible that climate change could exact damages as large as the Potsdam researchers originally found. Scientists in the field are figuring out ways to incorporate more and more ripple effects — the impact of wildfire smoke on respiratory health, for example, or how sea level rise affects home values.

Timothy Neal, an economist at the University of New South Wales, recently published a paper finding climate change will cause global disruptions that will constrain economic growth even in countries where the weather is less extreme. The results suggest a 40 percent loss in 2100 if carbon emissions remain high.

“Damages are very likely to be undercounted in the existing literature,” Mr. Neal said.

However, climate economists are concerned about maintaining credibility, especially while the Trump administration is defunding climate science and discarding efforts to lower emissions.

Lint Barrage, chair of energy and climate economics at ETH Zurich, thinks the retracted paper has other methodological problems having to do with country-level inflation calculations that bias the results upward. Mr. Kotz and Ms. Wenz’s correction note shows that their findings would be “substantially smaller” if they used Ms. Barrage’s preferred approach, which she finds frustrating.

“It can feel sometimes, depending on the audience, that there’s an expectation of finding large estimates,” Ms. Barrage said. “If your goal is to try to make the case for climate change, you have crossed the line from scientist to activist, and why would the public trust you?”

As one remedy, some researchers recommend not trying to do so much in the first place. Noah Kaufman, a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy who worked in the Biden White House, believes studying specific questions — like how to decarbonize while keeping electricity affordable — is more useful than projecting macroeconomic impacts decades down the road.

“There are just a lot of examples in the world where we do recognize that there are large risks, but we don’t pretend we can optimize our response to them,” Mr. Kaufman said. “We just try to avoid them in a reasonable way.”

President Trump must kill the United Nations’ man-made climate “con job” once and for all by withdrawing from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or the Rio Earth Summit Treaty, signed by President George H.W. Bush in 1992, said Climate Depot editor Marc Morano to The New American’s Alex Newman. Calling out the hypocrisy of jet-setting diplomats at climate summits is good fun, but without concrete and decisive action from Trump, Morano explained, the “man-made climate change” grift will press on.

United Nations Recruits Countries To Crack Down On What They Call Climate 'Denialism'

ijr.com

A joint initiative between the UN, the Brazilian government and UNESCO launched the “Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change” at COP30 ...

CALLER

At least 10 countries pledged to uphold “information integrity” at COP30, vowing to “ensure accurate and reliable” climate coverage and promote information related to “the principles of the Paris Agreement,” according to the United Nations.

A joint initiative between the UN, the Brazilian government and UNESCO launched the “Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change” at COP30 “to counter the growing impact of disinformation, misinformation, denialism.” The initiative calls for nations to “support the sustainability of a diverse and resilient media ecosystem to ensure accurate and reliable coverage on climate and environmental issues.”

“The Declaration calls on governments, the private sector, civil society, academia and funders to take concrete action to counter the growing impact of disinformation, misinformation, denialism and deliberate attacks on environmental journalists, defenders, scientists and researchers that undermine climate action and threaten societal stability,” the UN website states.

The UN notes on its website that the “initiative aims to enhance public trust in climate science [and] reduce the spread of mis/disinformation” and that nations are expected to “promote” information in line with “the principles of the Paris Agreement.”

“Without access to reliable information about climate disruption we can never hope to overcome it,” UNESCO’s Director-General Audrey Azoulay said on Wednesday. “Through this initiative, we will support the journalists and researchers investigating climate issues, sometimes at great risk to themselves, and fight the climate-related disinformation running rampant on social media.”

The UN has compiled information on “attacks” environmental journalists have suffered from, including physical and legal attacks as well as “online harassment.”

“Prioritizing information integrity refers to … an information ecosystem in which reliable and accurate information is available to all, enabling people to engage meaningfully in public life, make informed decisions and exercise their rights,” Senior Adviser on Information Integrity Charlotte Scaddan told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Freedom of expression and access to information is at the heart of information integrity. People should be able to access a range of information sources both on and offline.”

Notably, an official said at a September 2022 World Economic Forum panel that the UN “partnered with Google” so that “all kinds of UN resources” would show up on a climate change-related Google search.

“We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled climate change, we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top,” UN Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming said on the panel. “We’re becoming much more proactive. You know, we own the science and we think that the world should know it and the platforms themselves also do. But again, it’s a huge, huge challenge that I think all sectors of society need to be very active in.”

Some critics like Marc Morano, author and publisher of Climatedepot.com, argue that the initiative might be used to censor views dissenting from the UN’s.

“Here we go again. Yet another attempt by the United Nations to squelch free speech and scientific debate over issues which they declare have been long ‘settled,’” Morano told the DCNF. “Just a few years ago, the UN declared that they ‘owned the science’ and were partnering with Google in order to suppress dissent. Never in history have the ‘good guys’ been the ones that want to shut down free speech.”

President Donald Trump moved to exit the United States from the Paris Agreement through a day-one executive order and his administration skipped the UN climate conference this year. Trump also called climate change policy the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” in front of the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Audrey StrebDCNF Energy Reporter

October 27, 2025

Over 100 countries have missed the deadline to tighten their climate targets ahead of November’s United Nations conference as President Donald Trump has rolled back some U.S. climate policies.

Though the Paris Agreement requires countries to set more stringent climate targets, many have yet to submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) plans as COP30 inches closer. The climate talks will be held in Belém, Brazil, from Nov. 6–Nov. 21, but the Trump administration has yet to select a delegation to attend as it continues to enact major deregulatory moves in the energy space.

“Most nations realize the cost of cutting carbon dioxide is painful and unnecessary. It is no surprise that nation after nation are trying to skirt their prior greenwashing pledges,” James Taylor, president of The Heartland Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. (RELATED: Corporate Media, Democrats Finally Giving Up Shoving Climate Messaging Down Americans’ Throat)

Most countries missed the Feb. 10 deadline, though the U.N. reportedly was accepting of this as long as it meant they were working on their climate goals, according to The Associated Press.

Trump called climate change policy the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” in front of the U.N. General Assembly in September and withdrew America from the Paris Agreement through a day-one executive order. Trump has moved to end federal support for green energy sources like wind and solar, which were favored under the Biden administration through billions in subsidies, loans and grants.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Administrator Lee Zeldin has moved to rollback major climate regulations including the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which allows the agency to regulate greenhouse gasses. Zeldin argued that repealing the rule would constitute “the largest deregulatory action in the history of America.”

Author and publisher of ClimateDepot.com Marc Morano told the DCNF that this “UN COP FLOP” is a result of “the Trump Effect.”

“Other, more timid nations are picking up the Trump energy and quietly walking away from this 30-year global fiasco known as the UN climate agenda. Trump came along at just the right time in history, as Europeans and others are now fully realizing they have been had by decades of false promises that green energy would be ‘cheaper’ and that they could ‘easily ‘transition’ away from fossil fuels,” Morano continued. “Trump has done the U.S. and the world a great favor by exposing this fraudulent UN climate process.”

Morano previously told the DCNF that Democrats and Europeans seem to be retreating from aggressive climate policies as the American “public is not tolerating virtue signaling about saving the planet anymore.” Several corporate media outlets and some Democrats have recently shifted away from climate policy and are instead focusing their message on rising electricity prices and reliability.

Notably, 17 attorneys general urged the Trump administration on Thursday to not participate in COP30, arguing that the administration’s participation may appear to endorse stringent climate goals that they believe are threatening the reliability of America’s power grid. Other senate Democrats and even some Republicans have reportedly expressed interest in leading a delegation to COP30, including Republican Utah Sen. John Curtis, Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons and Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, though the government shutdown may hinder some Senator’s plans.

October 13, 2025

Republican Utah Sen. John Curtis is reportedly planning to co-lead a delegation to the annual U.N. climate change conference, which some critics told the Daily Caller News Foundation clashes with President Donald Trump’s energy agenda.

Curtis told E&E News Friday that he and Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons will lead a delegation to Brazil together for this year’s COP30 and that three other unnamed Republicans are also interested in joining the troop. The U.N. climate change conference is set to host several youth-led climate forums and discuss the Paris Agreement that Trump directed the U.S. to abandon through a day-one executive order.

“RINOs like Sen. Curtis are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of MAGA victory by going to the annual UN climate confab in Brazil,” Steve Milloy, Senior Fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute told the DCNF. “There, they will conspire with China and Europe in trying to subvert President Trump’s agenda of defeating the climate hoax, terminating the Green New Scam and making America energy dominant.” (RELATED: John Curtis Has History Of Raking In Thousands From Green Energy Donors)

A spokesperson for Curtis’ office told the DCNF that “plans are not finalized yet for the Senator’s travel,” though E&E News reported Friday that Curtis said “we have an agenda that is really coming together nicely. We’re super happy with it.”

The Trump administration has not announced that it will send a delegation to the November conference and Trump recently called climate change policy the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” in front of the United Nations General Assembly in September. Trump has moved to ax federal support for green energy sources like wind and solar that the Biden administration favored while bolstering conventional resources like coal.

“Leave it to ‘Mitt Romney’ style Republicans like Sen. Curtis to try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. … The UN climate agenda and the UN’s COP30 meetings should be disbanded, not given credibility by GOP senators,” Marc Morano, author and Climate Depot executive editor, told the DCNF. “This is a pathetic throwback to the pre-Trump Republicanism of George H. Bush, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. … The UN climate agenda has quite literally overseen the outsourcing of the West’s once dominant industries to China, India, and the developing world. The U.S., Canada, and Europe have boasted about emission accounting tricks, while China builds two new coal plants a week and benefits from the West’s attempts at a ‘green transition.’ The U.S. does not need ‘a seat at the table’ at the UN climate summit, we need to knock the table over.”

Curtis has historically split with many Republicans over climate change policy and has notably advocated against a wholesale repeal of Biden-era green energy tax credits that Trump railed against. Earlier this year, Curtis told Secretary of State Marco Rubio that it is “really important” to have a “Republican voice at that table,” in reference to COP30.

The Senator pointed to nuclear specifically as an energy resource Republicans could elevate at COP30.

Critics like Milloy, Morano and President of the Heartland Institute James Taylor told the DCNF that COP30 should not be endorsed by Republican participation as it runs counter to Trump’s energy policies and suggests that the left-leaning climate talking points the president has fought hold legitimacy.

“Republicans who attend COP30 for any reason other than to mock it are hypocrites and grandstanders,” Taylor told the DCNF. “How much carbon dioxide are they going to spew into the atmosphere merely so they can have a ‘photo op’ at a portion of the Amazon rainforest that was destroyed in order to create a venue for this vacation conference of UN bureaucrats?”

Notably, developers razed portions of the Amazon rainforest to construct a road for COP30, and a 2024 study released right before COP29 showed that emissions rise sharply during major conferences due to private jet travel.

Coons’ office did not respond to the DCNF’s multiple requests for comment.

Al Gore Cries Trump Is Committing "Jihad" Against Green Energy

ByAndre Perrard

Sep 23, 2025

IFrame Content

Al Gore has always been the headmaster of the climate change craziness, and it has not changed in the last three decades or so. Gore came to prominence with his climate change agenda in the 90s and early 2000s, culminating in an unsuccessful run for President in 2000. Since then, former vice president Gore has remained at the forefront of the crazy, demanding there be no plane travel and a whole host of other entirely insane ideas.

Once again, Gore is in the news, as he complains over President Trump's revival of American energy. In a recent interview with Axios, Gore Trump is more "loaded for bear this time around" and then accused Trump of launching a "Jihad against the sustainability transition." None of that is surprising to hear from Gore, who has been known to sensationalize and dramatize.

Marc Morano of the Climate Depot says Trump is doing two key things that have Gore in a tizzy. One is reversing the determination of carbon dioxide as a pollutant, and the other is taking the U.S. out of multiple climate conferences.

"Those two alone would make it unbelievably difficult for a future president to get the United States back into the climate agenda that Gore holds so dear," he says.

It has been Gore's life mission to preach sustainability and the impending doom we are all facing. None of which has played out at all. Because the globe cycles through global warming and cooling and has for thousands of years.

All of it is part of a bigger agenda to gain more control over the public. They want people to rely on mass transportation and smaller housing. It is about control, not climate saving.

The biggest difference in President Trump's second term has been a sheer indifference to public feeling. They are doing what they think is right, and what will ultimately benefit the public most. Which is how it should be.

"Trump first term, most of his officials thought climate change was real, it is a problem...his second term, his people are saying it is a scam and a hoax...they have completely undone the entire Biden administration in shocking and phenomenal ways," says Morano.

One of the biggest promises from Trump's campaign was to unleash American energy, and his plan has been working. U.S. oil production hit all-time highs this summer, and the future remains bright. Especially as more of these red tape, over bloated programs begin hitting the wayside.

Gore though will continue his pomp and circumstance, and claim that this more by Trump will kill America. He has said the same thing for 40 years now and not much has changed. Expect more of the same this time.

The “Climate Change” Danger

By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

September 22, 2025

The Left constantly subjects us to propaganda about the alleged danger posed by “climate change” or “global warming.” They assure us that we must “follow the science,” which, it is claimed, has proved that the rise in global temperatures caused by fossil fuels, which emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, will soon result in catastrophe unless we “green” the economy. Under brain-dead “President” Joe Biden, extensive steps were taken towards “greening.” Fortunately, Donald Trump has rolled back some of these steps, but the constant barrage of the Left is a continuing menace.The Politically Incorr...Morano, MarcBest Price: $8.67Buy New $14.99(as of 05:10 UTC - Details)

The Left reacts with horror to any attempt to question “climate change.” They say that skeptics should be denied their right of free speech, just as they called for the suppression of those who warned of the dangers of Covid vaccinations, who it turned out were entirely correct. Noam Chomsky has said that Trump’s efforts in his first term to end “greening” made him a worse war criminal than Hitler.

One problem many people have is that they find it difficult to evaluate the alleged evidence offered by scientists who claim that “climate change” poses a dire threat, but in his remarkable book Fossil Future (Portfolio2022), Alex Epstein changed the terms of the debate about the danger of “global warming” and the alleged need to take drastic action in response to this. The opponents either question the evidence that disaster impends or argue that the threat can be handled without revamping the economy.

Epstein thinks that the danger from global warming has been exaggerated, but though he presents extensive evidence in support of this, his main contribution lies elsewhere. He argues that modern civilization depends on fossil fuels and that far from curtailing their use, we need to spread them to the impoverished parts of the world. So great are the benefits from using the fuels that only a true “end of the world” nightmare caused by CO2 emission could require that we shift to other energy sources, and despite the alarmists’ caterwauling, this nightmare is most unlikely to occur. Moreover, Epstein holds that the benefits of fossil fuels are so obvious that only a defect in thinking could have induced people to ignore them. He is a philosopher as well as an energy economist, and he expertly identifies the false thought pattern that has led to our current confusions.

Epstein says, “Whenever we hear about what the ‘experts’ think, we need to keep in mind that most of us have no direct access to what most expert researchers in the field think. We are being told what experts think through a system of institutions and people…. Understanding how this system, which I call our ‘knowledge system,’ works and how it can go wrong is the key to being able to spot when what we’re told the ‘experts’ think is very wrong—about fossil fuels or anything else.”

On the issue of energy, Epstein argues that the system has gone very wrong, indeed, owing to the fact that its leading lights are in the grip of a philosophy that views human beings as an upsetting intrusion on the earth: through their feverish pursuit of growth, people have interfered with the “delicate balance” of nature. Having done so, people must repent and “green” the economy, though some experts opine that it would be better to get rid of us altogether. Concerning this bizarre philosophy, Epstein remarks: “Why does our knowledge system always expect extreme negative impacts from cost-efficient energy’s side-effects and always expect that we will be unable to master these impacts? Because of a false assumption that leads anyone holding it to expect that all forms of significant impact on nature will inevitably be self-destructive. I call this the ‘delicate nurturer’ assumption … [which is] that Earth, absent human impact, exists in an optimal, nurturing ‘delicate balance’ that is as stable, sufficient, and safe as we can hope to expect.”

:{You might be inclined to object that scientific findings deal with facts, not philosophies: if “climate scientists” predict that continued global warming will have dire consequences, don’t we have to judge their arguments strictly as they stand, without regard to their proponents’ views about the proper place of human beings, however repellent we may find these views? Epstein responds that predictions are far different from claims about what has happened in the past, which can often, though not always, be assessed objectively.

Climate predictions are for the most part highly speculative, and the antihuman ideology of the “catastrophists,” as Epstein calls the climate alarmists, should incline us to view what they say with doubt, all the more so if they have wrongly predicted catastrophes in the past. “Such predictions [about climate] necessarily rely on highly complex science and models that are difficult for non-researchers to assess … it is both far easier and highly informative to assess our knowledge system’s, including designated experts’, track record of climate prediction” (the “designated experts” are those whom the system treats as authoritative).

One of these “experts,” Michael Mann, famed for his controversial “hockey stick” graph, is weighed in the balance and found wanting: “Designated expert Michael Mann has written: ‘We probably already exceed the [planet’s] carrying capacity by a factor of eight.’” It is unlikely that someone with this opinion will be eager to suggest policies that promote human welfare, and the same holds true of the notorious Paul Ehrlich, who has many times wrongly predicted disaster but whose oracular status nevertheless remains undiminished. Mann, by the way, is one of those who wants to suppress and even imprison climate skeptics. Why listen to them?}:

If the designated experts were not blinded by partisan passion, what would they see? The answer, Epstein says, is that Nature untouched by man is no “delicate balance” but rather an ever-dynamic, often hostile place. To survive and flourish in it, we must specialize in what we produce and use powerful machines in doing so. Such machines immensely multiply our natural energy and enable us to master the environment to our advantage. Only the fossil fuels— viz., coal, oil, and natural gas—can be used to produce these machines in a cost-efficient way. Wind and solar power are paltry by comparison. Hydroelectric and nuclear power fare rather better, but even they are no match for the fossil fuels, and furthermore, fossil fuels are often required to produce and implement the other forms of energy.

:{The Truth about Energy...Corsi Ph.D., Jerome R.Best Price: $10.35Buy New $17.98(as of 11:36 UTC - Details)

Epstein says about the fossil fuels: “Contrary to our anti-impact, anti-energy knowledge system these are not trivial benefits that are already overwhelmed by fossil fuels’ negative side-effects on the livability of our world—they are fundamental to the livability of our world. The current benefit of the world’s massive use of ultra-cost-effective fossil fuel energy is a radical increase in the productive ability of billions of people—via ultra-cost-effective fossil-fueled machine labor and the enormous amount of mental labor it frees up, along with fossil fuel materials—that makes the world unnaturally livable, i.e., conducive to human flourishing.”}:

:{It is here that the primary source of the book’s originality lies, together with the author’s cogent analysis of the conflicting opinions’ philosophical underpinnings. Other critics of the global catastrophists propose palliative measures to cope with what they deem a much lesser threat than their opponents envision; they suggest, for example, a shift to nuclear power and the limitation of such pollution as remains through “cap and trade,” a carbon tax, and the like.

Epstein, by contrast, is uncompromising. Not only does he want to maintain the use of fossil fuels; he relishes the prospect of the extended use of these fuels, particularly in poor areas of the world, where people without this resource languish. “Since 1980, the percentage of humanity living on less than $2 a day has gone from 42 percent to under 10 percent today. This wondrous development is the result of increasing and expanding productivity, which is driven by the increasing and expanding use of fossil-fueled machine labor and the enormous amount of mental labor it frees up. But there is still far more progress to be had…. Expanding fossil fuel use will enable everyone, especially the world’s poorest people, to become more productive and prosperous.”}:

:{But has Epstein dismissed the perils of untoward climate changes too quickly? Don’t floods that result from a rise in temperature pose real dangers, for example? Epstein responds by again appealing to the benefits of technology, made possible by fossil fuels. Technology enables us to achieve what Epstein calls “climate mastery.” He cites in this connection a telling statistic. Despite the temperature rise that occurred in the twentieth century, deaths from climate have sharply decreased.

“In reality, dangerous temperatures—which overwhelmingly come from too much cold, not too much heat—are a smaller danger than ever thanks to two forces: fossil-fueled climate mastery and modestly warming temperatures…. Before human beings had fossil-fueled machines to master dangerous climates, they were overwhelmed by natural temperature dangers, both heat and (especially) cold…. Heat-related deaths are a much bigger problem in the unempowered world today, which is yet another reason why empowerment is a moral imperative.”}:

Let’s do everything we can to stop the “climate change” fanatics from destroying our economy!

collegians For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) Say "No" to Michael Mann}:

Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow

Sep 10, 2025, 07:27 ET

HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- College students today protested the promotion of climate activist Dr. Michael Mann at a Rice University Baker Institute for Public Policy event, holding signs with slogans like "Hands off my future!," "Dr. Mann hates debate," and "Limp Stick Energy."

CFACT students protest at Rice University.

Marc Morano joins the students at Rice University to challenge Mann on

Students held signs with slogans like “Hands off my future!,” “Dr. Mann hates debate,” and “Limp Stick Energy.”

"Elevating Michael Mann at an institution of higher learning is completely counterintuitive," said Rice University undergraduate Cristobal Spielmann. "He has repeatedly demonstrated that questioning his version of consensus gets you labeled a climate denier, whom he calls 'horrible people…typically bigoted, xenophobic, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic' – if not sued. We reject his oppressive tactics and narrow worldview."

Mann rose to prominence as the lead author of a report that was the first to estimate climate trends using what the New York Times called a "grab bag of evidence." It included what became known as the "hockey stick" graph depicting an upward spike in temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere. Leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit later showed Mann working with others to suppress climate debate even as he withheld data from analysts seeking to replicate his findings. He has filed lawsuits against people and media organizations for criticizing him.

"We've been taught that testing, challenging and modifying hypotheses, and retesting are all part of the scientific method," said CFACT Collegian activist Nicolas Walker. "Yet Dr. Mann treats questions and requests for data as attacks rather than rigorous intellectual challenges. He has bullied, sued, and tried to censor people who dare to disagree with him, both publicly and behind the scenes. Now he's touting a book that encourages everyone to act like him."

The students have a simple message: college campuses should be sponsors of debate, not celebrating people like Mann who shut it down.

"We are extremely proud of our college students for standing up to Michael Mann's demonstrated bullying tactics by refusing to accept debate being treated as dangerous and anti-science," said Nate Myers, National Collegians Director. "Where can inquiry thrive if not on campus?"

### Ep 1228 | She Helped AOC Win. Now She’s Exposing Zohran Mamdani & Climate Activism | Lucy Biggers

August 8, 2025 • 55 mins

Today, we’re joined by Lucy Biggers, former climate influencer for Now This and producer of a viral 2018 AOC campaign video, to share her dramatic shift from progressive activism to rejecting climate alarmism and socialism. Lucy reveals how marriage, motherhood, and the events of 2020 reshaped her views, exposing the anti-human myths of the climate movement. We dive into her regrets over amplifying Standing Rock, the hypocrisy of socialist policies like Zohran Mamdani’s, and why she now champions human flourishing over guilt-driven ideology.

IT'S SUMMER, NITWITS! NPR Blames ‘Climate Change’ for Texas Floods and ‘Rainstorms’

Joseph Vazquez

July 18th, 2025

the cuts to National Public Radio’s taxpayer funding have definitely been a long time coming. The leftist outlet is blaming climate change (there’s a surprise) for — wait for it — a lot of rain, in summertime!

[pix]

“Climate change is fueling brutal rainstorms. Here's how to stay safe,” read the ridiculous headline for NPR’s July 15 Consider This podcast by All Things Consideredco-host Juana Summers (ironic) and Climate Desk correspondent Michael Copley, both of whom are not scientists.

Of course, Summers exploited the Texas flood disasters as a springboard to blame rainfall and recent flooding writ large in the U.S. as being a byproduct of the left’s eternal boogeyman: climate change. “So why is climate change expected to make extreme rainstorms like the ones we've seen this month more common,” Summers teased. “To dig into that question and what people can do to prepare, I spoke with Michael Copley from NPR's climate desk.”

Copley then went for the typical climate activist drivel: blame the darn humans! “So people keep releasing a ton of greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil, and that's raising global temperatures and fueling more intense rainstorms that drop more water in shorter periods of time,” he spewed. What’s telling is that he said the quiet part out loud when he prefaced his statement by admitting,“So in general, a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture.” No kidding, Sherlock! But he insisted that “we're going to see more extreme weather events as the Earth keeps heating up, and that's going to pose bigger threats to people and their homes and cities.”

Climate Depot Founder Marc Morano blasted NPR's eco-fanaticism in comments to MRC Business. "Listening to or reading climate 'news' from NPR was a throwback experience to the days when the U.S. actually funded such tripe. Oh, wait! We still do," Morano rebuked. "But as of July 17, it looks like the days of U.S. taxpayers footing the bill for utter climate garbage are severely numbered."

Morano then tore apart NPR's arguments to shreds:

NPR rehashes all the same old scare tactics about extreme weather and, in particular, how 'climate change is fueling brutal rainstorms.' There is just one glaring problem with NPR's reporting. Even the United Nations' climate reports don't agree with the soon-to-be defunded network. On climate timescales, flooding and flash floods are not increasing globally, nationally, or locally in Texas, contrary to NPR claims.

Further, noted Morano, "the United Nations, the US federal National Climate Assessment, and peer-reviewed studies all show that extreme weather, ranging from hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and droughts, is not increasing on climate timescales of 30, 50, or 100 years."

As CO2 Coalition Science and Research Associate Vijay Jayaraj wrote in an April 21 op-ed using monsoon-afflicted India as a case study for summer climate, “The average annual rainfall between 2000 and 2023 shows us that there is no crisis. The early 2000s experienced several significantly wet years, with 2003 recording nearly 49 inches of precipitation.” In addition, wrote Jayaraj, “From the mid-2000s to the early 2010s, there was a notable decline in rainfall, with 2009 being especially arid.”

What the data indicates is that there is “no discernible trend of increasing or decreasing precipitation throughout the period.” The overarching principle, Jayaraj concluded, was that “climate fluctuates” in summer. Did Summers or Copley consider that possibility? Probably not.

So what’s Copley’s solution to the climate problem? Ah yes, just throw an ungodly bunch of tax money at it: “[Columbia Business School climate economist Gernot] Wagner says communities need to invest billions and billions to deal with more extreme weather.”

UN calls to criminalize fossil fuel 'disinformation' - Rebel News

the UN's special rapporteur on human rights and climate change argued this week that wealthy nations are legally obligated to phase out oil, gas and coal by 2030 while compensating communities harmed by resource development — and called for the criminalization of those spreading so-called misinformation about climate change.

“These countries are responsible for not having prevented the widespread human rights harm arising from climate change and other planetary crises we are facing – biodiversity loss, plastic pollution and economic inequalities – caused by fossil fuels extraction, use and waste,” argued Elisa Morgera, who, in addition to her role with the UN, serves as a professor of global environmental law at the University of Strathclyde in the U.K.

A report from The Guardian focusing on Morgera's findings outlined the UN rapporteur's goal:

*States must ban fossil fuel ads and lobbying, criminalize greenwashing (misinformation and misrepresentation) by the fossil fuel industry, media and advertising firms, and enforce harsh penalties for attacks on climate advocates who are facing a rise in malicious lawsuits, online harassment and physical violence.

On Wednesday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra was joined by Climate Depot founder Marc Morano, who provided a less hyperbolic perspective on the situation.

“They first want to intimidate you into silence,” Marc said, noting how the term “climate denier” is used in the same manner as calling someone a “Holocaust denier.”

When this tactic fails, radical environmentalists then try to seize control of information by working with Big Tech firms like Google “to manipulate information flow.”

Demands to criminalize so-called climate misinformation are an attack on free speech the Climate Depot founder said, with environmentalists pushing to silence critics “because people might vote the wrong way.”

Ezra compared these censorship efforts to the attempts to stifle “alternative views” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It's very political what's going on here,” noted Ezra. “They're basically saying, 'we want to win the argument, but we want to stop the other side from even being allowed to argue'. That's really their confession.”

Marc was in agreement, suggesting the debates around COVID and climate follow “the same exact template.” Following President Trump's first electoral victory in 2015, “that's when all of the controls came down,” Marc explained.

“Not only the mainstream media, but all the social media. That's when we had the deep state and national security and intel agencies embedded in things like Twitter,” he said.

“Why are they saying all of this? Because the COP30 UN summit is coming up and is perhaps the most unanticipated dreaded UN summit by climate activists in the history of climate summits because, as of right now, not even two dozen countries out of 200 have even made pledges let alone kept pledges in line with the UN Paris Climate Agreement net-zero goals.”

un-expert-urges-criminalizing-fossil-fuel-disinformation-banning-lobbying

a leading UN expert is calling for criminal penalties against those peddling disinformation about the climate crisisand a total ban on fossil fuel industry lobbying and advertising, as part of a radical shake-up to safeguard human rights and curtail planetary catastrophe.

Elisa Morgera, the UN special rapporteur on human rights and climate change who presents her damning new report to the general assembly in Geneva on Monday, argues that the US, UK, Canada, Australia and other wealthy fossil fuel nations are legally obliged under international law to fully phase out oil, gas and coal by 2030 – and compensate communities for harms caused.

Fracking, oil sands and gas flaring should be banned, as should fossil fuelexploration, subsidies, investments and false tech solutions that will lock in future generations to polluting and increasingly costly oil, gas and coal.

“Despite overwhelming evidence of the interlinked, intergenerational, severe and widespread human rights impacts of the fossil fuel life cycle … these countries have and are still accruing enormous profits from fossil fuels, and are still not taking decisive action,” said Morgera, professor of global environmental law at the University of Strathclyde.

“These countries are responsible for not having prevented the widespread human rights harm arising from climate change and other planetary crises we are facing – biodiversity loss, plastic pollution and economic inequalities – caused by fossil fuels extraction, use and waste.”

Island nations, Indigenous and other vulnerable communities – who have benefited least from fossil fuels – now face the worst and compounding harms caused by the climate crisis and other environmental harms linked to their extraction, transport and use for energy, fuel, plastics and synthetic fertilizers.

The report points to a mountain of evidence on the severe, far-reaching and cumulative damage caused by the fossil fuel industry – oil, gas, coal, fertilizers and plastics – on almost every human right including the rights to life, self-determination, health, food, water, housing, education, information and livelihoods.

Morgera makes the case for the “defossilization” of our entire economies – in other words the eradication of fossil fuels from all sectors including politics, finance, food, media, tech and knowledge. The transition to clean energy is not enough to tackle the widespread and mounting harms caused by the fossil fuels, she argues.

In order to comply with existing international human rights law, states are obliged to inform their citizens about the widespread harms caused by fossil fuels and that phasing out oil, gas and coal is the most effective way to fight the climate crisis.

People also have the right to know how the industry – and its allies – has for 60 years systematically obstructed access to this knowledge and meaningful climate action by peddling disinformation and misinformation, attacks on climate scientists and activists, and by capturing democratic decision-making spaces including the annual UN climate negotiations.

“The fossil fuel playbook has undermined the protection of all human rights that are negatively impacted by climate change for over six decades,” said Morgera in the imperative of defossilizing our economies report.

States must ban fossil fuel ads and lobbying, criminalize greenwashing (misinformation and misrepresentation) by the fossil fuel industry, media and advertising firms, and enforce harsh penalties for attacks on climate advocates who are facing a rise in malicious lawsuits, online harassment and physical violence.

Communities across the world are facing growing threats from sea level rise, desertification, drought, melting glaciers, extreme heat, floods, and other climate-related impacts. This is on top of the deadly air pollution, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and forced displacement of Indigenous and rural peoples associated with every stage of the fossil fuel lifecycle.

Meanwhile, fossil fuel and petrochemical companies have benefited from huge profits, taxpayer subsidies, tax avoidance schemes and undue protection under international investment law – without ever reducing energy poverty and economic inequalities. In 2023, oil and gas companies globally earned $2.4tn, while coal companies pocketed $2.5tn, according to the report.

Removing fossil fuel subsidies, estimated to have topped $1.4tn for OECD members and 48 other countries in 2023, would alone reduce emissions by up to 10% by 2030.

Redirecting these subsidies would help wealthy fossil fuel-producing states fulfill their legal obligations to aid developing countries to phase out fossil fuels – and provide financial and other remedies for the widespread human rights violations and environmental damage they have caused – and continue to cause.

The compensation could also be funded by enforcing penalties for damages caused by fossil fuel companies, and cracking down on tax evasion and avoidance by the industry, as well as introducing wealth and windfall taxes. States could – and should – require the industry to finance climate adaptation, mitigation and loss and damage through climate superfunds or other mechanisms that are directly accessible to affected communities.

World’s climate fight needs fundamental reform, UN expert says: ‘Some states are not acting in good faith’

Read more](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2025/jan/07/climate-change-reform-elisa-morgera)

Land unjustly appropriated for fossil fuel operations should be cleaned up, remediated and returned to Indigenous communities, people of African descent and peasants, if they want it back, or they should be fairly compensated, Morgera argues.

The report lays out the human rights case for decisive and transformative political action to limit the pain and suffering from the climate crisis. The recommendations offer a glimpse at a world in which the basic rights of all people are prioritized above the profits and benefits enjoyed by a few, but will probably be dismissed by some as radical and untenable.

“Paradoxically what may seem radical or unrealistic – a transition to a renewable energy-based economy – is now cheaper and safer for our economics and a healthier option for our societies,” Morgera told the Guardian.

“The transition can also lead to significant savings of taxpayers’ money that is currently going into responding to climate change impacts, saving health costs, and also recouping lost tax revenue from fossil fuel companies. This could be the single most impactful health contribution we could ever make. The transition seems radical and unrealistic because fossil fuel companies have been so good at making it seem so.”

Fighting falsehoods: the online battle over climate truth

Friday June 20, 2025

Global temperatures keep breaking records, and sea levels are rising. Reports from a United Nations climate panel say the science is settled, but it doesn't always seem that way online, where climate denial is thriving. Japan's Environment Ministry says that's undermining efforts to act, so it's fighting back with a new website that tackles myths and misinformation with cold, hard facts.

The global average temperature in 2024 was the warmest on record.

Climate change skepticism spreads

British news website Tortoise analyzed social media content from climate-related influencers. It says there was an 82 percent jump in the number of climate skeptic posts on the X platform from 2021 to 2024. It also says there was a 43 percent jump in the number of YouTube videos with that stance.

The United Nations Development Programme, which is working on measures to mitigate climate change, says there are two main motives behind the spread of disinformation on the topic.

One is to attract attention for profit. The UNDP says controversial views create followings that bring advertising revenue and political support.

The other reason, it says, is to protect vested interests. Delaying measures against climate change can protect the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry.

NHK spoke with Marc Morano, a former political aide and now an influential climate skeptic who disputes the link between global warming and human activity.

Marc Morano is a prominent climate skeptic.

Morano claims that the United Nations, governments and private companies stand to benefit from measures to limit carbon dioxide. He calls the issue of climate change "a clear fraud campaign" that has nothing to do with science.

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change disagrees. It says there is no doubt human activity has caused global warming, and says global temperatures have risen faster in the past 50 years than at any other point in at least 2,000 years. The panel also says climate change can be contained if we act in time.

Disinformation disruption in the real world

Climate disinformation isn't just a theoretical danger. It turned a civil debate into chaos in one Australian city. The council of Onkaparinga was planning to declare a climate emergency in 2023, but the meeting was swarmed by protestors fueled by false ideas.

Residents of Onkaparinga flocked to the city council to protest a climate declaration.

Opponents of the declaration had whipped up alarm with false statements on social media, including a claim that only electric vehicles would be permitted after the declaration was issued.

The meeting had to be suspended, with the mayor and assembly members forced to evacuate.

Ika Trijsburg, a disinformation expert at the Australian National University, says climate change issues are ideal fodder for those who disseminate falsehoods, especially in a divided society.

Ika Trijsburg

Climate myths surging on social media

Claims without scientific evidence are gaining traction in Japan, too. Environment ministry officials say they've seen a surge in misleading online posts since late last year, including claims that global warming is not happening, or that human activity plays no role in greenhouse gas emissions.

An analysis by NHK found a sharp rise in Japanese-language posts on the social media platform X that question the reality of climate change or criticize decarbonization efforts.

In 2020, around 60,000 such posts were recorded. That number grew steadily year after year, reaching 220,000 in 2024. The increase was particularly pronounced after November when Donald Trump, a vocal critic of the Paris Agreement on climate change, won the US presidential election.

Japan government tackles misinformation

Japan's Environment Ministry has launched a new web page aimed at tackling climate change misinformation by presenting clear scientific information about global warming.

The site, which went live Friday, compiles information from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, drawing on the latest scientific research to explain the causes and impact of global climate change. UN reports attribute it mainly to greenhouse emissions caused by human activity.

The page also offers domestic data that show a rise in the frequency of extreme weather such as heatwaves and torrential rain — events that scientists attribute to climate change.

Speaking to reporters after a Cabinet meeting on Friday, Environment Minister Asao Keiichiro voiced concern over the rise of baseless claims online. He warned that such misinformation could undermine efforts by the government, businesses and the public to combat climate change. He said the ministry will continue efforts to ensure people are well-informed about the issue.

Fighting misinformation and disinformation

The spread of climate misinformation and disinformation has become a global concern, prompting the United Nations to act.

The UNDP in Asia and the Pacific has announced the launch of Una, an AI-powered chatbot designed to talk about climate initiatives.

AI character Una can answer questions regarding climate change in multiple languages including Japanese, English and Chinese.

Melissa Fleming, UN Undersecretary for Global Communications, says the planet faces an existential crisis with climate change, and the UN is "in an information battlefield" trying to convince people of the facts.

Fleming says the fight is against special interests who want to convince people that climate change is a hoax or that renewable energy is unreliable or too expensive, so they would have to give up their lifestyle. She says none of this is true.

Melissa Fleming

Fleming says the UN sees this as "one of the biggest risks of our time." She says every player needs to play its role: digital platforms can reduce the flow of falsehoods; advertisers and PR companies can stop funding disinformation; and media-literate people and governments can play a constructive role in the information environment.

Climate Depot's Morano: Bill Gates Through Harvard Funding 'Radical, Risky' Global ...

Breitbart

Thursday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Climate Depot executive editor Marc Morano warned of “risky” experiments conducted by Harvard University and bankrolled by billionaire Bill Gates in the name of global warming.

Gates likened the efforts to injecting pollution back into the atmosphere.

“Talk to me about this geoengineering,” fill-in host Rachel Campos-Duffy said. “What is it? A lot of people wonder what it is.”

“All it is, is retro 1970s — in the 1970s, they said fossil fuels caused global cooling,” Morano replied. “Now, of course, they say global warming. So, they proposed all kinds of geoengineering back in the 70s. They wanted to put black soot on the Arctic, use nuclear energy to heat up the Arctic in order to melt it, because they thought the ice was growing too much. Fast forward, now they want to block the sun and inject sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere to try to block the sun and cool the Earth. It’s not just England doing it. Bill Gates through Harvard University is funding studies and have been pushing this. A lot of the other billionaire class have been pushing this kind of radical, risky experiment, and it makes absolutely no sense.”

He continued, “We spent decades since the first Earth Day, cleaning up our atmosphere, and now they want to inject pollution back in. It truly is, they want to prove a point, I think, in the end, that global warming is man-made and climate change is man-made, and it’s because governments are injecting these chemicals into the sky to alter the Earth. I think they’re ultimately probably not going to go through with it. It’s a scare tactic to say you’re not supporting the Green New Deal or Net Zero. We’re going to have to do this radical, risky experiment on our atmosphere.”

Green With Envy? A Conservation Group Has 10 Ideas For U.S. Interior Dept.

By

B.D. Hobbs

Apr 16, 2025

In addition to all of the great work and cuts being made in Washington D.C. by 'DOGE', a leading Montana based conservation group is hoping to streamline the U.S. Department of Interior.

It's the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC), a nonpartisan leader in "market solutions" for conservation, and they have come up with 10 ideas to make it happen.

"I don't know how politically viable they are, but everything they suggested seems really on track with a good conservation policy" said Marc Morano with the Climate Depot, "It's not so much spending, it's the regulatory process. Definitely, you want to deregulate and streamline all of that. This is a heavy regulatory agency historically."

Basically, the group wants to cut a lot of the 'green tape', not the 'red tape'.

"The main thing they're talking about is just to streamline the agency to make it more efficient and work with local communities" Morano told KTRH, "They're just looking at it from a sort of a 'think tank' perspective, and seeing a more efficient way to run things. And they're probably right."

EPA: Scrap Conclusion That Greenhouse Gases Endanger Public - TT -

Transport Topics

“This is the holy grail of the climate agenda,” said Marc Morano, who runs the climate-skeptic website ClimateDepot.com. “If you want to ...

Trump’s top environmental regulator is recommending the U.S. government scrap its formal conclusion that greenhouse gases endanger the public, a move that would sweep away the legal foundation for regulations limiting planet-warming pollution from power plants, automobiles and oil wells.

In private recommendations to Trump, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin has urged a rewrite of the so-called endangerment finding, setting the stage for a potentially sweeping attack on federal climate regulations. The recommendations were described by people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the assessment isn’t public.

The president has frequently criticized what he calls the “green new scam,” referring to government policies fighting climate change and promoting emission-free energy. Trump hasn’t formally endorsed the plan outlined by Zeldin, and it’s unclear if he will embrace it. But if he does, the effort would dovetail with priorities such as building more power plants and abolishing incentives for electric vehicle sales. And it would be consistent with recent Trump administration moves to retreat from work on climate change, including preventing a U.S. official from attending a scientific meeting on the issue in China.

“This is the holy grail of the climate agenda,” said Marc Morano, who runs the climate-skeptic website ClimateDepot.com. “If you want to permanently cripple the United States climate agenda you have to go at the heart of it. This is the heart of it: the endangerment finding.”

Zeldin

Zeldin delivered his recommendations to Trump a month after the president tasked the EPA with determining the “legality and continuing applicability” of the endangerment finding as part of a Jan. 20 executive order.

The EPA said Feb. 26 in an emailed statement that it was “in compliance” with the president’s executive order mandate for the agency to submit recommendations on the legality and continuing applicability of the 2009 endangerment finding. The Washington Post earlier reported on Zeldin’s recommendations.

Energy businesses and some Trump allies are divided over the wisdom of a frontal attack on the endangerment finding. Some are concerned the effort would siphon time and manpower from other regulatory priorities, including rewriting Biden-era rules governing power plant and automobile pollution. It could take years for the EPA to go through a required rulemaking process to unwind the endangerment finding, and even then, it might not survive inevitable legal challenges.

Energy companies also have warned that doing away with the endangerment finding, and the federal climate regulations it supports, could revive public nuisance lawsuits against oil producers and power plant operators. Under a 2010 Supreme Court decision, federal climate regulation under the Clean Air Act has effectively precluded those claims.

At issue is the EPA’s 2009 conclusion that carbon dioxide, methane and four other greenhouse gases threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations. The EPA was effectively compelled to assess the matter after the Supreme Court in 2007 affirmed the agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act. At that point, it was up to the EPA to determine whether greenhouse gases constituted a threat that should be regulated.

But critics argue Congress designed the Clean Air Act to regulate localized pollutants, not those with widespread, global effects, and some have been pushing for repeal of the endangerment finding ever since. A policy blueprint drafted by conservative groups and Trump loyalists known as Project 2025 recommended addressing the endangerment finding.

A reversal generally would require the EPA to gather fresh evidence to support an opposing conclusion: that greenhouse gases aren’t a threat at all. Environmentalists argue that would fly in the face of a growing scientific body of evidence that greenhouse gas emissions are the primary driver of climate change.

“There is a lot of shocking stuff happening now, but to completely deny climate change and any federal obligation to control the pollution that’s driving it would be shocking and irresponsible,” said David Doniger, senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Environmental advocates contend it also would be illegal.

“Climate pollution is air pollution, and it is fueling a crisis,” said Margie Alt, director of the Climate Action Campaign. “There is no scientific basis — none — to claim otherwise.”

Trump's Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Lee Zeldin, is reportedly pursuing plans that would wipe away most federal climate change rules with a single move.

According to Bloomberg, the EPA considered scrapping "its formal conclusion that greenhouse gases endanger the public, a move that would sweep away the legal foundation for regulations limiting planet-warming pollution from power plants, automobiles and oil wells."

The EPA would rewrite the so-called endangerment finding at the heart of most climate change rules if Zeldin has his way, sources told Bloomberg.

Assassination attempts, Democratic attacks driving second Trump admin

Since taking office, Donald Trump has moved very quickly to enact his Make America Great Again agenda. This time, the president has surrounded himself with an administration more ideologically aligned to his priorities and reaffirmed the support of the Republican Party, which previously saw many internal detractors trying to take on Trump.

On Friday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra was joined by Climate Depot's Marc Morano, who shared his perspective on the whirlwind start to the second Trump administration.

The two failed assassination attempts, combined with the Democrats' efforts to attack Trump through lawfare, are what's motivated the president to act quickly and decisively on a number of campaign promises.

“Whatever happened last year, I think it's the threat of jail and getting shot at, this is the best version of Donald Trump — at least politically — that anyone has ever seen,” Marc told Ezra.

“He is mature, he is focused, he's not making any kind of rookie mistakes, he's not derailing his own agenda,” he continued. “It's just amazing.”

Taking to climate policies, Marc blasted the Biden administration's failure to develop American energy — and the media for “not getting the message that they are completely anti-science and embarrassing themselves.”

Trump has ‘driven a stake through the heart’ of the ‘climate scam’

February 09, 2025 - 11:19AM

Climate Depot Executive Director Marc Morano has commended US President Donald Trump for having “driven a stake through the heart” of the “climate scam”.

“I can tell you that in my lifetime, I have never seen a president more consequential, at least domestically, in what he has accomplished in less than three weeks,” Mr Morano told Sky News Australia.

“I think he is on course to just obliterate anyone in the presidency in the last 50 years.

“He has literally driven a stake through the heart of the climate scam, particularly the international UN global climate scam.”
