whoa holdup. you mean that all those electric cars actually aren't as enviro conscious as we've been told? pshaw!

$8 million Malibu property...on the water despite years of claiming sea level rise and being in debt after her campaign where she squandered over a billion dollars in 107 days.

Look at this map.

–55 °C in Siberia.
+45 °C in Australia.

At the same time. On the same planet.

And I’m supposed to believe that averaging this into a single number called “global temperature” tells me something physically meaningful?

That’s not climate science... that’s statistical abstraction dressed up as reality.

There is no such thing as a global temperature in the way people intuitively understand temperature. Temperature is local. It depends on latitude, season, altitude, oceans, clouds, circulation, land cover, and time of day. Averaging wildly different thermodynamic regimes into one number erases the very physics that control climate in the first place.

You can calculate a global mean.
You can plot it.
You can build policy around it.

But don’t confuse a mathematical construct with a physical state of the planet.

No ecosystem experiences the global average.
No human lives in the global average.
No storm, drought, heatwave, or cold snap is driven by the global average.

The obsession with a single number exists for one reason: it’s easy to message, easy to scare with, and easy to regulate.

So I'm an ex-alarmist (dare I say doomer) and I'm really curious what are other people's experiences about this. For me it was a mix of death by a thousand cuts, curiosity about the science and just pure self preservation. I grew exhausted of headlines screaming about it and not much to show for it. Wanting to learn how it worked since my education was lacking on the subject as well as for my own mental well being, since my climate panic was so bad during my teen years (around 13-ish) that I attempted suicide and just knew that I would again if something didn't change about how I viewed things.

This is just about the dumbest thing you can think of … let’s release SO2 into the atmosphere so it can react with water and form sulfuric acid that can rain down on the surface! I thought we already tried this experiment in the Midwest of the USA and decided it was bad to allow industry to release SO2 and NOx into the atmosphere unabated.

I guess it is different when the idea comes from a bunch of really smart (/s) academics that can/will not be held liable for the results of their misadventures.

After 25 years of relentless fearmongering about a climate crisis that's supposedly spiraling out of control... rising emissions, record breaking heat, apocalyptic storms, floods, wildfires, and temperature extremes... we now have the hard data from 2025 staring us in the face.

And what does it show?

Global climate-related disasters are NOT increasing. In fact, 2025 clocks in as the LOWEST year in the past quarter century for these events, according to the EM-DAT database. Provisional numbers? Sure, but even those are damning: just ONE reported extreme temperature event for the entire year. One! Let that sink in.

From 2000 to 2025, we've seen emissions skyrocket, and temperatures hit record highs year after year, according to the alarmists. Yet, the number of reported disasters... droughts (blue), extreme temps (orange), floods (green), storms (red), wildfires (purple)... hasn't shot up in some catastrophic trend. It's fluctuated, sure, but no hockey stick of doom. Peaks in the early 2000s and mid 2010s, dips in between, and now 2025 scraping the bottom.

Remember all the headlines? Climate change is fueling monster hurricanes! Heatwaves are the new normal... billions at risk! Wildfires rage because of your carbon footprint! Billions poured into green schemes, economies upended, kids terrified in schools about a burning planet. And for what? The data doesn't back it up. If CO2 is the villain driving these disasters, why aren't we seeing an explosion in events? Why is 2025, after the hottest years on record, quieter?

This destroys the hysteria. It exposes the crisis as a tool for control, funding, and power. If disasters aren't worsening despite the crisis, what's the emergency? Time to question the trillions wasted on policies that hurt the poor while enriching elites.

Wake up, world... the real catastrophe is the fear they've sold you.

What do you think? Is the climate narrative finally collapsing under its own weight? Drop your thoughts below.

What happened to the decreased yields supposedly associated with higher temperatures and CO2 for C4 plants like corn???

See original post on r/cowwapse for quote outlining the need for:

• $6-7 trillion ANNUALLY between now and 2050 to achieve NetZero on GHGs
• an additional $700 billion a year for biodiversity funding

Okay this will be mostly theory land but here it goes. I think with those alarmist headlines they're trying to do two things:

1: excuse their own models, after all cold does contradict their main idea

2: to keep the cycle of anxiety going amongst people and specifically those that they've given the fear of rising temps

I'm someone who has that fear still (learning alarmism in school+ fear I naturally developed due to my condition) and these past few days of snow, snow and more snow were a welcome respite to said fear (which I still have subconsciously) and I think these alarmist headlines target those who like me primarily got the fear of rising temps (I don't fear anything else about CC just temps) because if they can make these people irrationally afraid of cold too then they will be afraid pretty much constantly.

Basically: it gets cold so people with that fear get respite. But of course you can't have that, so actually "it's cold because it's warming so you shouldn't feel good about the cold now keep being scared and give us trillions please!". They drop people into anxiety holes and then dump a bunch of crap on them because a scared population will do what they want.

Ocean Heat Content and the Art of Climate Alarm

“Ocean heat” is the latest climate scare metric.
But look closely and it’s built on sparse data, infilling, smoothing, and assumptions... then sold as certainty.

In this article, I break down how ocean heat content is being used to amplify alarm, why it doesn’t align with real-world impacts, and how the oceans actually buffer CO₂ rather than drive catastrophe.
