Professor Clauser a Nobel Laureate in physics shows how the IPCC has been engaged in scientific malpractice and fraud. Climate Alarmism is dogma and a scam. #auspol ##BBCNews
Remember when the tax-free allowance was £12,500?
That was in 2019.
Today, it’s £12,570…just £70 higher.
If it had simply kept up with inflation, it would be around £17,000 today.
Meanwhile, food, rent, energy, fuel and everyday bills have all risen sharply.
They can say they’ve “not raised taxes.”
But they haven’t needed to.
Freeze the threshold while wages and prices rise, and inflation quietly pushes more of your income into the tax system every year.
There is nothing remotely special about 1.5°C. It isn’t any more “dangerous” than 1.4°C or 1.53°C.
1.5°C isn’t some magic number. 🎱
It isn’t a threshold. ⚖️
It isn’t science. 🧪
It’s political.
Welcome to the UK where a £12k pension is 'unaffordable' but £40k to support an illegal migrant is acceptable
ITS EMBARRASSING HOW WE DONT LOOK AFTER OUR PENSIONERS 🇬🇧
The United Nations worst case global warming scenario collapsed a few months ago after admissions the modellers got it wrong.
The world is no longer facing a 5.5°C warming trajectory by 2100 at all. That target has been removed as 'implausible'. Yet this was the chief driving reason for a global transition away from fossil fuels, and replacing them with energy from wind turbines and solar panels.
This effort to harness wind and sunlight could become one of the greatest economic disasters in modern history, costing $275 trillion by the time a new fully developed infrastructure is in place by 2050. This would include a second global power grid costing $21 trillion.
The UN explanation—'We are on track for a 5°C apocalypse if we don't immediately upend the global economy'—is dead.
Removing its extreme scenario creates a distinct institutional challenge for a climate bureaucracy that spent 25 years leveraging fear. We are left with a blighted rural landscape, trillions of dollars spent on a gigantic physical overbuild and the likelihood that this will become a self-fulfilling, replacement loop every 20 to 30 years.
The scientific community has acknowledged that the catastrophic, upper-end predictions were built on flawed, outdated economic models, because early modelers failed to understand real-world market trends.
First made available in 2011 to drive global climate policy, this extreme scenario—known widely as RCP8.5 (and later SSP5-8.5)—served as the primary engine for the media's terrifying 'business-as-usual' headlines for over a decade.
It was built on assumptions that humanity would aggressively abandon clean tech, undergo an unprecedented five-fold increase in coal use, and even resort to converting coal to oil to run vehicles. Those apocalyptic projections simply didn't occur and fossil fuels produce 81% of global primary energy; wind-solar 6.5%.
With the retirement of the extreme 5C baseline for the upcoming 7th Assessment Report (AR7), the ceiling for projected global warming has dropped significantly. The newly proposed high-emissions baseline has been downgraded to a maximum of 3.3°C by 2100.
The climate narrative has now officially shifted from an existential struggle of 'apocalypse versus survival' to a standard problem of risk management.
Developed in the early 2010s, RCP8.5 was intended to reflect its worst-case scenario available at the time, according to an analysis by Carbon Brief. It modeled a future with rapid population growth and massive, unchecked coal expansion where global coal use would increase multifold by 2100.
Media outlets, advocacy groups, and financial regulators defaulted to RCP8.5, creating a vision of unchecked coal expansion. Yet while real-world coal production did rise—driven by China and India to roughly 9 billion tons annually—it never approached the absurd 5x multiplier required by the UN’s old models.
@fermatslibrary Too many people have been dissuaded from furthering science by others arrogance. I applaud those that persevere and decry those that, due to their own hubris, shout them down.
Climate Alarmists: “The record-breaking heatwave in July and August 1936 was just weather. Single extreme weather events are not climate, and the U.S. and Canada are not the globe.”
ALSO Climate Alarmists: “It was hot in western Europe this week. See?! This is proof of catastrophic climate change! We need to end fossil fuels now!”
These are not serious people worth trying to talk to.
I don't know if these people have some sort of mental disorder that prevents them from being able to reason out their arguments out, or if they are simply dishonest pieces of gaslighting crap. Perhaps it's a mix of both.
