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.

From Science to Scientism: The Crisis of Modern Science
In this essay on the crisis of modern science, Apostolos Efthymiadis argues that contemporary scientific culture has drifted from its philosophical foundations toward dogma and authority. Drawing on Aristotle’s epistemology, he challenges scientism, politicization, and consensus-thinking, and calls for a restoration of intellectual rigor and scientific humility.
Steven Koonin now also believes that the worst of the climate hysteria is behind us
In a recent ICSF/Clintel lecture, Professor Steven Koonin argued that global climate and energy policy is at a tipping point. After decades of emphasis on rapid and far-reaching emission reductions, he sees clear signs of a shift toward greater realism and pragmatism, including in climate reporting. After all, economic, technological, and social realities are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
