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.

Climate Intelligence (Clintel) is an independent foundation informing people about climate change and climate policies.

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.

Guardian Claims We’re Still Only Approaching the Climate Point of No Return

The Guardian claims the world is edging toward a climate “point of no return,” where unstoppable warming will lock Earth into a catastrophic “hothouse” future. Yet the geological record tells a very different story. Past periods of far higher temperatures and CO₂ levels did not end life or civilization’s prospects — they supported abundance and evolutionary expansion.

The EV experiment has become a bloodbath — $140 billion wasted — more to come

The electric vehicle push was supposed to reshape the auto industry and accelerate the energy transition. Instead, mounting losses and collapsing share prices are raising serious questions about whether governments and manufacturers misread the market. What began as a bold industrial gamble is now looking, to some critics, like one of the most expensive policy experiments in recent automotive history.
