Steven Koonin i debatten. https://t.co/cOj6YBwOvE

[⚡️David Blackmon⚡️ @EnergyAbsurdity]

🚨This clip perfectly encapsulates the #climatechange debate:

⚡️Respected scientist Steven Koonin, who was an Obama-era rep to the #IPCC, states a fact: The scientific community misrepresented the science in order to push policy goals on an unwilling public.

⚡️In response, climate activist Andrew Dessler curses, melts down and calls everyone criminals for recognizing reality.

You couldn't make it up if it weren't happening in real time.

Africa is breaking free from Western climate lectures and foreign control with a bold new pipeline project. Led by billionaire Aliko Dangote, this 1,300-mile fuel pipeline will stretch from Namibia through Botswana to Zimbabwe, delivering affordable energy and fostering regional independence. For years, UN and EU elites have pushed "net-zero" agendas and renewable mandates on Africa, ignoring the continent's energy poverty and stifling its fossil fuel development.

Zimbabwe, plagued by 18-hour power cuts and economic collapse, can't afford unreliable "green" solutions like the drought-stricken Kariba Dam. This pipeline promises to slash fuel costs, create up to 100,000 jobs, and boost GDP by ending dependence on expensive imports. It's a practical path to growth, mirroring the fossil-fueled success of India and China, rather than the unaffordable luxury of a "green transition."

The project highlights the hypocrisy of climate crusaders, who industrialized with fossil fuels but now block Africa from doing the same. By promoting Pan-African cooperation, it weakens the grip of Western and Chinese influences, proving that real development comes from energy security, not ideological dogma.

Some very scary stuff coming out of COP30: Declaration of Information Integrity on Climate Change. A sample:

"Concerned by the growing impact of disinformation, misinformation, denialism, deliberate attacks on environmental journalists, defenders, scientists, researchers and other public voices and other tactics used to undermine the integrity of information on climate change, which diminish public understanding, delay urgent action, and threaten the global climate response and societal stability"

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

In truth, Gates significantly understates just how wrong the doomsday problem is, says one of the world’s most influential climate scientists. “The weakest part of the argument has always been that warming is dangerous,” says Judy Curry, professor emerita at Georgia Tech University, in a new podcast with me. “It isn’t really. More people die from the cold than the heat. So this is probably a net benefit globally. Where’s the danger here?”

Some climate scientists say Curry is a global warming denier, hasn’t done the research that they have done, and participated in a Trump administration misinformation effort.

But Curry recognizes that the Earth is warming and that humans are contributing. Curry points out that “the modern warming started in the mid-19th century, somewhere between 1820 and 1860, following the end of the Little Ice Age. We’ve been warming since then. Nothing particularly surprising or unusual in my opinion. Is increasing CO₂ contributing to that? Yes.”

The fact that warming has been beneficial “doesn’t mean that we should ignore the problem” she stresses and “doesn’t mean that we should keep pouring junk into the atmosphere.

And Curry’s qualifications are exemplary. She frequently testifies before Congress and was one of five American scientists who conducted an independent review of climate science for the Department of Energy. And has done significantly more climate research than many of her critics. “I’m the one who’s done more climate dynamics research,” she noted.

In truth, scientists have for decades been exaggerating the human impact compared to what nature does. When asked what percentage of the warming she would ascribe to humans, Curry said, “I would say I wouldn’t go much more than 50%.” Curry says, “We’ve mischaracterized the contributions from the sun and also from internal variability of the large-scale ocean circulation.”

As a result, she said, “We cannot control the climate. There’s a whole lot of complicated processes going on in the climate system that have been oversimplified or ignored and fall broadly under the rubric of natural climate variability.”

Curry notes that science supporting the benefits of additional carbon dioxide and warming is strong and not in dispute. “There are lots of benefits in terms of agricultural productivity, greening of the planet, fewer cold events, more rain in certain regions that with high populations that could use it,” said Curry.

We discussed the criticisms of her and four colleagues who wrote the independent review of climate science commissioned by the Trump administration.

“They say, ‘Oh, it’s not just CO₂, it’s also warmer temperatures and more rainfall,’” she said, referring to one of the criticisms by other scientists in Carbon Brief. “‘Aren’t you telling us that’s also caused by CO₂?’ So I don’t get what the gripe is. We’re gone through that section and added some updated references, but the fundamental story is unchanged.”

As I documented at length at Forbes in 2019, in Apocalypse Never in 2020, and here at Public since 2021, including earlier this week, climate scientists, activists, and journalists have grossly exaggerated climate change to such an extent that much of what they say today must be considered disinformation, in that they know they are leaving the public with false ideas.

“Global greening gets very short shrift in the [United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] IPCC report,” she notes. “They don’t talk about the reduction in mortality from reduced number of cold events. They only talk about the mortality from heat events. It’s part of the rules – we’re only talking about dangerous human-caused climate change, not about any benefits from human cause.”

But what is the reason for this? What explains why the scientific community has misled the public about the nature of the problem for so long?

The BBC is under fire for falsely claiming that the frequency of intense hurricanes like Melissa is increasing, as stated in their live coverage during the storm's landfall. This assertion is misleading and not supported by evidence.

Historical hurricane data is unreliable for comparisons due to the lack of satellite monitoring in earlier decades, meaning many storms were missed. A more accurate measure comes from landfalling hurricanes, which don't rely on advanced technology.

NOAA data shows no upward trend in major hurricanes. Since 1924, there have been 20 Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes making landfall, with only seven occurring since 1992—including Melissa. This hardly indicates an increase.

NOAA itself has repeatedly stated there is "no strong evidence of century-scale increasing trends" in major hurricane frequency. Yet, the BBC pushed this narrative during a devastating event, peddling unfounded global warming propaganda.

It's disgraceful that media outlets prioritize alarmism over facts, especially in crises. A correction was made to the hurricane count, but the damage from misinformation lingers.

Satellites show global fire is down, but climate alarmists simply pivot

The new false fire scare: "Fires kill and cost more because climate!"

Truths they hide:

Not causation, just “coincide”

Cost and death increases are likely due to costlier houses and more people moving into high fire-risk areas. But laughably left out because ‘too hard’

This same lead author previously did a narrative-conforming study claiming extreme fire doubled, which, when corrected, is actually a 35% decrease
