Climate alarm peaked years ago.
The fear worked… until it didn’t.
Bill McKibben is still telling politicians to run on the same slogans, the same villains, and the same fear... even as voters move on.

ENSO doesn’t get the hype that AMOC does… but it probably explains more of the big year-to-year “temperature shocks” you’ve been told are all CO₂.

Greenland just ruined the “unprecedented” talking point.
A new Nature Geoscience study argues ice in NW Greenland (Prudhoe Dome) fully melted during the Holocene… and it was ~3–7°C warmer than today 7,000 years ago.

A volcano just injected ~10% more water into the stratosphere… and the new international assessment says the surface signal was tiny.
Water vapor is the strongest GHG.
If that shock barely moves the needle, what does that say about slow, steady CO₂ increases? 👇 open.substack.com/pub/irration...

Is there another field that fears being challenged as much as climate science? It seems like any questioning or skepticism is met with aggressive pushback. 🤔

Belém, host of #COP30, has 84% of homes without sewage... 97% of wastewater untreated, dumped straight into the water.
But sure, let’s spend billions on virtue signaling climate models instead of fixing actual pollution today.
This isn’t environmentalism.
It’s climate theater.
