Which projections, risks, damage studies, and policy demands were inflated by a pathway now judged implausible? And how much carbon tax do I get back?
The isotope record is one line of evidence. The temperature record is another. Both point to a climate system that was moving hard long before modern emissions.
Western politics remains fixated on domestic CO₂ cuts while China's vast emissions, Asia and Africa's plastic pollution, and the toxic mining practices supplying the wind and solar industries escape anything like the same political pressure.
The paper's press release sold it as a "triple whammy of climate chaos." There is one problem. The ice had already rebounded.

We have frost this morning in East Tennessee here and 32 degrees! That’s crazy this late! They were wrong! The overnight low was supposed to be 42. That’s off by 10 degrees and 22 degrees below normal for May 15th. Certainly a cool first half of May!
43F in Metcalfe County KY this morning. It should be 55F and above. Wearing sweatshirts…still.
I think maybe that ice age you are looking for, Kenneth, is coming to East Tennessee!
Well Valentina Zharhkov said the Grand Solar Minima would be 6-10% COLDER then the Little Ice Age AND the Maunder Minimum so…dress warmly!
Here in the Finger Lakes region of NY high temperature on May 14 was 48 F (8.9C). That is about 24 degrees below normal. Lookout for when it goes to warmth it will go straight to summer with no Spring.
“…it will go straight to summer with no Spring.”
I hate when that happens! But…I do not think there will as be as many 90+ days in N Alabama in May as there used to be.
How do I post a figure that shows the warming effect of carbon dioxide is less than 0.01 °C? This renders all IPCC models irrelevant.
How does one get the attention of the alarmists and the general public?

The climate charlatans are far too smug, still, even with the tide turning bigly against them. No matter, the money is increasingly flowing less freely toward their scare scenarios.
However, I believe their biggest obstacle for continued relevance will be an inexorably cooling climate the next several decades. (Which no doubt they will try to take the credit for)
Oh they have already started. Bear Pig Gore is saying its getting colder now so…this is why they changed to Climate Change from Global Warming see?!?
Fits anything that happens BUTT he brelieves we will forget the last 40 + years of lies. Some will but the majority wont.
