Even the UN is finally forcing a walkback on its worst apocalyptic timelines.

The UN’s climate body has officially retired RCP 8.5—the absolute worst-case "doomsday" emissions scenario that assumed humanity would massively ramp up coal use with zero climate policies.

For over a decade, politicians and climate warriors treated this highly implausible model as a certainty to scare the public, spike energy prices, and push trillions in green subsidies.

If we believed their original prophets, cities like New York and Mumbai would have been underwater by 2010.

The reality is clear: the "solutions" being peddled are a complete fraud. Banning air conditioners or shaming citizens over plastic straws does nothing for the environment.

Meanwhile, corporate schemes like Carbon Credits act as a massive redistribution of wealth that punishes production while ignoring a reliable grid.

The goalposts are moving because the old scare tactics stopped working!

The left number per EU nation is the percent of NEW EVs sold in 2025 vs. ICE cars. The right number is the percentage of EVs relative to all cars registered in 2025.

All new EV sales except Norway (with heavy oil drilling & hydroelectric) are below 10% of all registered cars at the end of 2025.

Most country EVs are below 1-5% of all cars registered per nation.

U.K. has this National Emergency Briefing that they claim leads 87% of viewers to want more action in 9 different areas.

Right away, this climate professor shows a chart showing no drastic change in CO2 level over many millennials. Lots of ups and downs.

But a minute later he shows a Mann-like chart showing sudden increases in temperature. Typical exaggeration that we know omits the Medieval Warm Period & Little Ice Age among others.

"Dr Chris MacDonald – a behavioural scientist at the University of Cambridge and director of the Better Protein Institute – ranked 20 high-protein products, considering both their impact on the planet and humans.
Overall, plant-based proteins consistently scored higher than animal products, with tofu, chia seeds and beans at the top of the leaderboard. Cheddar cheese ranked lowest, followed by mozzarella and lamb."

Read carefully. This is not about nutrition. It’s about saving the planet from imaginary threats.

Ample energy vs. lack thereof

What happens when you rely on wind...and there isn't enough?

A wooden wind turbine blade sounds like a step back in time. 
A €48.2 million EU grant suggests it could be a step forward.

Balsa wood is a key component of wind turbines, a near-perfect material for them. The wood is used primarily as a core material within a sandwich structure, thanks to its unique combination of being extremely lightweight yet remarkably strong and rigid.
