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.

Decline in total energy production key factor in German CO2 reduction, not renewables
The reduction of CO2 emissions in Germany by approximately 46% in the years 2007–2023 was not the result of a simple substitution of coal with renewable sources. It was primarily conditioned by a drastic drop in the total amount of energy produced.
Lindzen, Happer and Koonin: remove ‘Trojan Horse’ from the courtroom
A new edition of a science education manual for judges departs “sharply” from a “longstanding tradition of neutrality,” say three of America’s most distinguished physicists in a letter to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce temperature by only 0.05°C”
In a recent lecture prof. William Happer showed that even the complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce global temperatures by only about 0.05°C. The effect is so small that it calls into question the justification for aggressive mitigation policies targeting these methane producing animals, like cows.
