A large tree trunk has been uncovered beneath a glacier in the Alps, dated to around 6,000 years ago.
The species is Swiss stone pine. Today, trees of that type cannot grow at that altitude because it is far too cold.
6,000 years ago aligns with the Holocene climate optimum, a time when temperatures were far higher than now, even with far less atmospheric CO2.
Earth's climate is cyclical and Mother Nature self-regulates.
Narratives of doom serve political aims, not reality.
The Romans built fish ponds on the coast 2,000 years ago. They're still there, still filling with seawater. Reality has a way of challenging climate narratives.
June has rolled around.
This map shows statewide “all-time” high temperature records for June.
Interestingly, 32 states set their June record highs before 1960.
I can't spot much of a crisis here, folks.
The climate scenario house of cards is wobbling.
For years, the scariest climate headlines leaned on RCP8.5 / SSP5-8.5 — the “burn everything” future dressed up as business-as-usual.
Now the CMIP7 scenario team admits SSP5-8.5 has “become implausible.”
So how many catastrophe headlines, lawsuits, regulations, and media panic pieces were built on a pathway the community now says is no longer plausible?
Almost ALL of them.
The science didn’t suddenly change.
The assumptions did.
And the alarmist empire built on worst-case scenarios is starting to crumble.

New study:
The contiguous US has the most reliable and comprehensive max. and min. temperature records dating to the 1800s.
Data from >1,200 long-term stations indicate both heat (e.g., 95°F/35°C days) and cold extremes have been declining since 1899.

West Antarctica sits on top of a volcanic rift.
Thwaites and Pine Island, Antarctica's two fastest thinning glaciers, sit directly above strong geothermal anomalies. The glaciers are being melted from below, not above, and atmospheric data backs this up.
A recent study shows central/west Antarctica has cooled around 1C per decade over the past 20 years. Bird Station, the only long-running record on the ice sheet, shows the trend.
The surface is cooling, the base is heating, and melt is concentrated where the crust is hottest.
Public messaging insists CO2 is melting Antarctica, but the air is cooling, with the only real melt restricted to the west, to regions sitting atop a hot volcanic rift.
RFK Jr puts the measles hysteria to bed.
“This has become a talking point for Democrats that somehow I caused the measles epidemic.
The measles epidemic started in January 2025 - before I came into office.”
“Most of the people affected are over the age of 5 years old, meaning their decision to not vaccinate predated my appointment to this office.
We had about 2,200 measles cases last year and we had 1,700 this year.
This is not unique to the United States.
This is a global outbreak.
Mexico had 3x the number of measles cases than we did. We did better than any other country in the world at controlling the epidemic. Mexico has 3x the number and it has 1/3 of the population.
Canada has twice the number and it has 1/8 of our population.
Europe had 33,000 cases in the last year and a 127,000 the year before and they have one half of our population.
So the problem is not me.”

The 1970s Ice Age scare was very much real.
In 1971, NASA scientists Rasool & Schneider warned in Science that rising air pollution could cool the planet by up to 3.5C. Enough, they said, to trigger an Ice Age.
Three years later, Time magazine ran its famous "Another Ice Age" article, noting three decades of global cooling.
The New York Times and Boston Globe echoed the same fear, that pollution could obliterate the sun and freeze the northern hemisphere.
The Ice Age scare wasn't a myth. It was mainstream.
Even Leonard Nimoy narrated a 1978 TV documentary called In Search of the Coming Ice Age, warning that global cooling could devastate civilization.
The same institutions now predicting catastrophic warming once told of a looming crippling freeze.

This is one of the saddest charts you will ever see.
The rise 📈 and fall 📉 of nuclear power in Germany 🇩🇪 vs. China's 🇨🇳 nuclear boom.
The Germans made one of the dumbest decisions in history.
Amidst the western U.S. heatwave, I plotted the average number of days per year during March at or above 80°F, 85°F, and 90°F from 1895 to 2025. There is not much of a long-term trend, maybe slightly upward. I may look at March days with maximum temperatures at or above the 90th percentile for better measure. But what's clear here is that this year's record-breaking heatwave (which is not plotted here) is almost entirely an artifact of natural variability and random chance.
2 refinery closings makes the state ultra-reliant on imported fuel from giant diesel burning ships.
That fuel now costs more due to the war.
Pipelines into the state will happen but will probably be tied up in lawsuits and take a very long time.
California left itself vulnerable to supply shocks and that’s exactly what we got.
Two things can be true:
1⃣ Mankind contributes to global warming, which can lead to climate change.
2⃣ Climate change is not an existential threat to life on Earth that requires Big Government and a radical change to energy policies.
There is a lane for that position, which is the lane that I am in, and is rooted in actual scientific evidence.
Just because you agree with point #1 does not mean we need radical far-left policies.
And, just because you may agree with point #2 instead does not mean that our industiralized economies do not have some impact.
But the fact is that the range of natural variability is so large that being able to really detect an anthropogenic impact outside of land use change (e.g., urbanization) is difficult to do without computer models that are artificially tuned to back out the forcings, which are not real observational evidence.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
🚨 JUST IN: Stephen Miller lays it out PERFECTLY
Imagine a "native Minnesotan who works as a lineman...worried about his ability to support for and provide his family."
"And then imagine that he has a neighbor who's a SOMALI REFUGEE who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and NO financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world and never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever for life!"
"THAT is the system that is being run and that is the corruption that this task force under the leadership of the Vice President is going to demolish." @StephenM
Just a few years ago, millions took to the streets to demand action on climate change. But now, even though Trump eviscerated their agenda, they are oddly silent. It turns out that sustaining faith in the climate apocalypse required a constant stream of government funding.
A peer-reviewed study finds that most of the temperature rise observed over the past century in the US isn't from greenhouse gases, but instead from roads, buildings and parking lots.
By comparing raw US temperature data from stations in areas with different population densities, the study found that 65% of the warming since 1895 is explained by the urban heat island effect, and another 8% by urban growth into once-rural areas.
That's nearly three quarters of the warming.
No CO2 involved.
Crucially, NOAA's adjusted data hides this effect. 'Homogenization' smooths it out, a process the study's author, Dr Roy Spencer, calls "urban blending".
It's not global warming.
It's urbanization.
