The Great Climate Science Swindle Goes On

Read it.
It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world – that CO2, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison. –Harvard Emeritus Professor Richard Lindzen
When the story of the great turn-of-the-millennium climate science fraud comes to be written by future historians, the central role of the RCP8.5 ‘business as usual’ model scenario as adopted by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will be obvious to all. This ‘pathway’ has polluted climate model predictions for years with its wild and improbable claims of carbon dioxide emissions and soaring temperatures. A huge number of science papers incorporating the pathway are published by obvious Net Zero activists, and their ‘scientists say’ climate psychosis-inducing fairy tales are sped on their way by blinkered journalists in the mainstream press. The science writer Roger Pielke Jr. notes that RCP8.5 has been “falsified” – most knew it was fake, historians are likely to conclude, but the Net Zero addiction was too strong for it to be given up.
By “falsified”, Dr Pielke explains in a recent Substack article, he means that the pathway’s emissions trajectory is already well out of step with reality. To prove his point he offers up the 2021 evidence contained in Burgess et al. highlighted in the graph below.

Swindle is right! There are so many ways that it can be proven to be so, but in the interests of brevity, let’s look at just two of them.
First, why should we – the “great unwashed” masses of humanity – believe a single word the ruling class says about the “climate crisis” when they continue to jet-set about in four-hundred foot long yachts, private aircraft filling the skies over the latest climate confab, and arrive at meetings in limousines whose gas mileage ought to embarrass them? And when these various plutocrats live in palatial mansions whose carbon footprint matches that of a small country?
Words are cheap, it is action which matters – and the actions of the technocratic elites betray them.
Second, how can anyone with two functioning neurons to rub together claim that climate science is “settled” when meteorologists can’t even predict next week’s weather with any degree of certainty?

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
