COP30 Is Lying To Justify Its Existence
COP30 is building its case on climate misinformation that rewrites the past to claim a victory it never earned.
The COP30 agreement claims the world was previously on track for more than 4C of warming until the Paris Agreement heroically “bent” that trajectory down to 2.3–2.5C:
However, “this is misinformation,” says Roger Pielke Jr., Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. It is a fiction built on the carcass of RCP8.5 — the extreme scenario that scientists quietly abandoned years ago because it required impossible coal use, implausible demographics and an economic collapse that never happened.
COP30 is resurrecting an unrealistic, disowned scenario in order to claim that Paris saved the world. The problem is the data. Real-world emissions show no curve bending, no slowdown and no “Paris effect”.
Paris didn’t change emissions, but it did unlock a permanent justification for climate taxation, energy rationing and the dismantling of cheap, reliable power — the foundation of economic prosperity.
COP30 needs a victory to justify its existence. So it has rewritten history: invent a 4C trajectory, pretend Paris knocked it down, and congratulate itself for saving humanity.
The world was never heading for RCP8.5. Paris didn’t change emissions.
Lies.

The stark contrast between American resilience and European collapse is a permanent lesson. National security should not be subject to the whims of the weather or the approval of climate activists in European capitals.
AI accurately reconstructs temperatures across Antarctica
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being applied in climate science, with mixed results so far. A new study, however, suggests that deep learning can successfully reconstruct Antarctic surface temperatures despite limited observational data. By combining sparse measurements with reanalysis datasets, the researchers claim to achieve high accuracy—offering new insights into long-term temperature trends across the continent.
Clintel President Václav Klaus warns: “No radical change in Europe in the near future”
We must not be naïve optimists about climate policy and should not overestimate the recent positive signals, like those from President Trump. This is the view of Clintel President Václav Klaus: “Nothing has changed in the European Union. We, with a background in the social sciences, cannot imagine that any radical change will take place in Europe in the near future.” Klaus made these remarks in his speech at the annual meeting of the Norwegian Klimarealistene in Oslo on March 15.
