The UN Quietly Buried Its Own Climate Apocalypse The United Nations has withdrawn its worst-case climate projection: the one that said temperatures would rise eight degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century and polar ice caps would melt completely. @delbigtree and @JeffereyJaxen break down what that retraction means, who paid for it, and what it is already costing people this winter. The World Climate Research Programme, a UN-affiliated organization, issued a new assessment quietly stating that high-emission worst-case scenarios are now “implausible.” Del draws a direct parallel to British epidemiologist Neil Ferguson’s COVID lockdown projections: one worst-case number, adopted globally, used to justify decisions that restructured entire economies. Countries shut down North Sea oil and gas. Energy infrastructure was dismantled. The UK grid operator has put power stations on alert. Europe is set for another year of high gas prices with reserves at critical lows. Britain risks running out of gas by the end of winter. The science was never settled. It said it was. Del and Jaxen point to a Lancet study analyzing over 74 million deaths across 13 countries: cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather. Stripping energy infrastructure in the name of climate fears does not just hurt economies. It kills people. Jaxen notes the timing. The same WEF-aligned companies that promoted net zero and told the public to stop driving and flying are now pouring money into AI data centers that will require 100 times the energy they told us was destroying the planet.
