Global warming has gone cold as an issue. Despite decades of panicked predictions of doom, it’s never been a high priority for voters, and President Donald Trump’s bold expressions of “climate denial” went unpunished by voters.
The media still sounds allied with the Green New Deal pushers, but the thrill is gone. Last November, leftists blasted ABC, CBS, and NBC for barely touching the COP30 global climate summit in Brazil. (PBS gave it nearly 16 minutes, and 10 of it was a John Kerry softball interview.)
Now, Axios.com posted an analysis by Amy Harder on this trend, titled “The world’s great climate collapse.” Greenpeace gang, beware: “The last year has seen an epic reversal that spread quickly from governments to boardrooms to pop culture.”
Not only has Trump dismissed climate panic, but Harder noted Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney, “once one of the world’s most vocal climate advocates,” is now repealing some of his country’s climate policies. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair also issued a memo questioning the wisdom of pursuing “net zero” emissions policies.
Then there’s billionaire Bill Gates, an unelected global leader. He circulated a memo criticizing the climate movement while shifting much of his money and focus back to public health—just four years after publishing the book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,” a bestseller that drew gushy reviews from AP, CNN, USA Today, and Oprah Daily magazine.
With Trump in office, Ford pulled back sharply from its electric-vehicle plans, shifting focus to more popular and profitable hybrids and gas vehicles due to slowing EV demand.
Europe scaled back its plan to ban gasoline-powered cars in the next decade and softened climate disclosure rules, which The New York Times captured with a dejected headline: “Europe Begins to Tiptoe Away From Key Climate Policies.”
The Axios analysis claimed even Hollywood is tiptoeing away, “swapping climate angst … for oil swagger, as seen in the current hit TV show ‘Landman.’”
That’s not entirely true. In December, the CBS drama “Fire Country” featured a firefighter lecturing like Al Gore: “We all know damn well there is no fire season anymore. Thanks to climate change, it’s all year round. Just keeps getting worse,” and concluding, “We’re at war.”
Also in December, “Daily Show” star Jon Stewart brought on New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert to uncork the usual panic. Manhattan used to be an ice sheet like Greenland, she said.
Stewart then quipped, “See, what I hear from that story is, if we keep this up, we could turn Greenland into Manhattan.” Kolbert jumped on the panic button: “That is absolutely true. Keep it up, but there’s 20 feet of sea level rising. So Manhattan will not be here.”
This is not a new shtick. In 2008, ABC News showed a picture of New York City vanishing underwater in its prediction of what would happen by 2015. Ooooops.
Never forget that in 1989, leftist scientist Paul Ehrlich narrated a segment on NBC’s “Today” show predicting that global warming would trigger a flood to completely cover Washington, D.C., which obviously never happened.
After eco-leftists predicted certain climate-change doom by 1995, or by 2000, or by 2015, and now we’re still doom-less in 2026, the public should be skeptical that they’re the most credible experts on predicting what the future holds.
If the perpetual climate panic machine has collapsed, it’s because the facts never lined up to prove any reason to panic. Their authoritarian “solutions”—banning everything from gas-powered cars to gas stoves and grills—needed the fuel of panic to be forced on the public. The bloom is off their poisoned rose.

Many of us informed thinkers have known the climate furor was a total hoax. It was mainly the far left loons who are seeking total control of everything in the world that fanned the flames of all the lies. It is so refreshing not to have all of their lies being treated as the truth on most media outlets. The Weather Channel being one of the worst. We have yet to hear anyone on the radical liberals finally admit they were mistaken. Of course, no matter how big their lies are, we never hear a peep from them, they just keep right on pushing most of them.
Global warming bull$hit. That’s all it’s ever been and what it will be if any “concerns” are still pushed by the Socialists (Democrats). It’s all about control. Period.
All of the hoaxes foisted on the world by the Leftist Global Cabal are falling apart because truth wins out, in the end, always. People around the world are waking up and seeing through the evil.
They have been beating this dead horse for over 50 years. They’ve never made a correct prediction and they keep screaming wolf. The global warming / climate change hoax brought about the death of science. They proved it to be nothing but politics and money. Making very few people billionaires, while trying to solve a non-existent problem on the back of taxpayers. The people pushing this garbage need to be tried in jailed for child abuse. European countries are totally destroying their economies for nothing
Somebody better tell the socialist governors of VA and NJ because they are still pushing this bushel of bull chips! FACTS and DIMMs have no connection! All lies all the time!
And let’s not forget the time magazine cover story, circa nineteen seventy, “the coming I age”,
I can remember getting under our desks at school in case of a nuclear attack, or sitting in the hall holding a book over our heads. That was about the time global cooling was the scare dejour. We were all going to freeze in 5 years. That was seventy years ago, now we are going to roast. Yeh, I believe.
It was nothing more than a Progressive Leftist money laundering scheme…..and it worked for a very long time and stole a lot of money from America.
Evidently no one ever questioned the climate pushers (Gore, Gates, etc.) about what caused the Ice Age. Explain that one. Climate is always changing and it’s in God’s hands. After all, He created us and all that we have discovered over the centuries.
In my world Climate change is referred to as the Weather. But if Crooks can make money from it then more power to them. But it pisses me off.
The so-called “Climate Crisis” has been going on 4.5 billion years. So the Slime says it’s America’s fault. The CO2 level is 0.04%, so our pets exhaling are destroying the Planet.
Another Socialist balloon of lies punctured by the Pin Of Truth. Who remembers ObaMao’s “Solyndra” scam? And yet the LeftoGreenies STILL squawk about “Climate Change”? Yes, it’s called “Weather”, boys and girls.Idiots who STILL believe this tripe make Chicken Little look like an optomist
Gloom and doom is the democrats platform. Their negativity is gripping the communist in this country like never before. Al Gore and Bill Gates got rich from all this gloom and doom. While the Obama’s and now Kameltoe are buying beach front estates in Maine and in Hawaii. No problem with oceans rising 25 feet. I remember when the Russians launched their first Sputnik satellite into space. Many of the people I worked with were convinced an atomic bomb would be dropped on the world somewhere from this satellite. The Soviet Union was going to dominate the world. Why would they drop such a bomb? They couldn’t occupy that part of the world for decades if ever. Today the globalists are at work to move the people around the world to lower the population in the world to a manageable few. That is what is going on. A man made climate change. There are enough brilliant scientists in the world to built a better combustion engine. Banning them is not the answer. Because they have nothing in its place. There is not enough electric power to heat and light the factories and homes and offices and hospitals in this country now. We have created monsters with plastic and nylon items that last centuries after people have died. Finding replacements for that should be a priority today. That is actively working at preserving our world and extent her life beyond the 21 st century. Only the climate change supporters like Gore and Gates and Kerry will never admit that’s the way to go. There is no money in a solved problem. There is money in gloom and doom.
Trump and other intelligent people know that the climate fear was used by the WEF and globalist communists for eventual world take over. Trump called it a scam and removed us from the climate accord back in his first term and saved us a billion$ and no one could tell you where the previous billion$ went. Such a rip off. Without Trump America would be a shiiithole just like Europe and the UK are now. No freedom of speech and flooded with aliens destroying culture. Look to the WEF and all their puppets put in positions of power. The corrupt voting, lying main stream media, and big money going to evil people must stop or our gains will be just temporary.
Oh just wait. In 4 years it will be 2030. AOC & Bernie Sanders, in 2018, said “if we don’t do something right now to stop climate change, the earth will not be able to sustain life in 12 years”. Hahahahahaha, Hahahahahah, Hahahahah, and 1 more Hahahahahah. I can’t wait until 2030 is here. Then the media better be playing the clips of those 2 communists from 2018.
Morons that believe climate hoax.
take a deep breath,fail to exhale. No more climate disasters fur u sheeple. LMAO !!!
easy led ta doom by da money grubbing pal whore ( al gore ). his comeuppance I see on horizon. hell fire will feel good to da whor gore. true birth of a leading pathetic bamboozled stink butt emitter.
gore mouth open spewing brainwashing crappola
It finally happened. THE TRUTH!!!!!!
Globull warming aka climate change has always been a money making scam.
Yes, truth appears to be winning, but it took 50+ years to get here. And look at the damage these scammers have caused around the world.
HAH!! What fun! Well written article, btw. Snappy.
If the northern ice cap melted, it would be like an ice cube in a glass of water. Nothing would happen. Fifth grade science. Antarctica would probably raise the oceans a little, but reputable science says not disastrously.
It was all about power and control… Costing Americans billions.. Zero of there climate predictions came true.
Are those alarmists, like Gates, going to pay us back for all the money lost on preventing global warming?
And yet we still have Al Gore (will he ever go away?) sounding the doomsday alarm in Davos to the EU crowd that genuflects before the climate hysteria agenda.
never trusted anyone that pushed this crappola,
especially the x-vice president, that did not follow the rules!
Man made Climate Change and Sea Level Rise are two different issues. The whole Climate Change narrative was based on a consensus of scientists and not based on facts. Seal Level Rise is caused by an increase in volcanic activity under the ocean which is warming the ocean temperatures. This is predominantly occurring about 250 to 300 miles south of the North Pole. These volcanic eruptions are not influenced by humans are are part of living on the planet Earth.
Yea, the world was supposed to come to an end, remember? Get over it!
I remember when I was in middle school back in the late 60’s and early 70’s all they talked about was conserving water because we wouldn’t have any fresh drinking water. Look where we’re at 50 years later. Craziness!!
Only leftist “useful idiots” ever believed any of that utter nonsense.
Bill Gates just bought a shoreside home for 43 million, and Kamala Harris paid her for hers. Like Gilda Ravner’s character Rosann Rosanndanna on Saturday Night Live used to say at the end of rant, “Never mind.”
There are still waaaaay too many brainwashed people on this boat.
To believe the ANY left-wing Democrat is to be a FOOL. No matter how well intended, EVERY Democrat policy WILL sooner or later FAIL. But not before causing misery, bankruptcy, pain and suffering to everyone effected by it except the creators of the policy.
The Climate Change HOAX has cost the American taxpayers trillions of dollars, and the world tens of trillions. The MEGA CORRUPT key players in this hoax, and who have made hundreds of billion of dollars in this epic SCAM? Bill gates, Al Gore, John Kerry, Obama, and Biden just to name a few. And what do they all have in common besides making billions running this decades-long scheme? They are ALL MEGA CORRUPT, LYING, DAMNORATS.
There must be accountability for running this colossal criminal Ponzi scheme. They ALL need to be investigated for fraud, fleecing the American people (and the rest of the world).
Years from now there’ll be hundreds, maybe thousands of windmills sitting off our coast, broken, rusting, producing nothing. When you ask, who’s supposed to maintain them, where’s all the power they’re supplying? You won’t see this story on MSNBC, CNN or
the networks. You won’t see or hear anything about John Kerry, well maybe on a bottle of
“CATSUP”.
Yet again, sinful mankind thinks that they can control God’s Creation. God controls all from His lofty heavenly throne, where the Son, Jesus Messiah sits on His right hand, waiting for Him to say, “Go get My children!”
1 Corinthians 15:52 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
in a twinkling of an eye, we shall all be changed.”
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”
The same people that can’t predict next week’s weather with a 100% accuracy, can tell us what’s going to happen in ten to one hundred years. But for more money that can save us. Hmmm, JMO
The left has been doing the climate change hoax for a very, very long time. I remember teachers pushing global cooling and the threat of the next ice age in the 1960’s. When that didn’t pan out, they went to warming, then the ozone hole, then just plain global warming.
Let us not forget the end of the world predictions around 2012.
There has to be a mental illness to explain how so many people could believe this extremely obvious BS. The hippies are still out of control. We were in WA state this summer and were shocked when the grocery store had no bags for shoppers to use. They banned plastic bags because of hippies. The really stupid part of this was that every item we were purchasing was wrapped in plastic. And in some case much thicker plastic. The amount of plastic in just one of these packages far outweighed many plastic shopping bags. So if you eliminate the bag but allow all the rest you are probably reducing about 1%. Of course this require critical thinking to understand, which they totally lack to ability to do.
(Spoken in the voice of a 12 year old child) “But, but, but….do you mean AOC and her buds have been storyin’ to us?” (eyes blink, blink, blink. Tear runs down child’s face…)
No 1 drives any EVs anyway from Eco side
Iceland is the only country that has actually prevented climate change in 2024-2025. They prevented it by not allowing lava flows to reach the sea.
And the retarded car industry drank the kool aid and are now losing major money because of their stupidity. Toyota saw the big picture and is winning.
The 260 years or so during which man has industrialized the earth is but a miniscule fraction of time relating to the actual age of the earth, 4.8 billion years. The fraction is so small [5.416666666666667e-8] that a calculator must display the result in scientific notation [see previous]. I never believed the climate change ideology because it was never really based on reliable scientific evidence. It was a manufactured event. Most savvy meteorologists will back me up.
Global warming is a real thing, but it’s nowhere near as dire as the climate fanatics would have us believe. We need, and we are developing, long term solutions, but there’s never been a rational reason to abandon fossil fuel until alternatives are ready.
The only climate disaster that can be avoided is to NOT support or vote idiots back into office where they can fuel their own agenda to make them more money. Anyone that thinks they can turn the climate around wears a tin hat and thinks they can keep the sun from burning out. These people are NOT God and cannot recreate the world. God IS in control and not a bunch of god wannabies.
The globalists have admitted to chem trails and that they now “create rain to cool the earth.” So all the flooding destruction is intentional??
WEF is still pushing it.
When God gave a predictive revelation, it always came true—down to the last detail. No room was left for partial accuracy. If a prophet claimed God said something and it didn’t happen, they were a fraud (Deuteronomy 18:22).
Today, many so-called prophets claim God spoke but get the details wrong. That would have led to stoning in Old Testament times. The standard was perfection—because the voice was God’s.
This doesn’t mean prophets always predicted the future—but when they did, there was zero margin for error. God’s word never fails.
Did they really give up on climate change? Climate changes all the time, always has. We have four seasons where I live, and weather is noticeably different in each one. Although there hasn’t been a six foot snow drift behind our home in over fifteen years, I’m sure that below zero temperatures will make up for that this winter. Spring will be warm with flowers and early vegetables. Summer will be hot and help crops grow. Fall will be cooler, and make tree leaves turn colors. I am glad that extreme measures are going away as they were just a distraction for gullible people.
It never ceases to amaze me that this is STILL a topic of conversation!!! Global Warming has long been dis-proven. All the Ice in the world can melt and the Oceans would NOT cause a flood.
Try this experiment; fill a water glass from your cupboard with ice, then fill the glass with water up to the rim. Let the glass sit on the kitchen counter overnight until all the ice is melted, you will notice, by the next day, there will be NO water on the counter top from melting ice.
Think about that for a moment. The ice in the glass is symbolized by the ice on Earth and the water in the glass is symbolized by the water on Earth.
