Carbon Budget Misinformation
What we have in the latest Carbon Budget is a Soviet-style five-year plan, where the Government is being urged to meddle in our lives to an unprecedented extent. The CCC wants more Government interference in energy, homes, industry and even the food we eat. All their calculations are underpinned by woeful cost assumptions, and they have repeated the same mistake about low wind years from the 6th Carbon Budget. The so-called Balanced Pathway is totally unhinged from reality. They have the brass neck to publicly worry about misinformation, despite propagating obvious untruths in their own report. Misinformation is supposed to be created by mistake, and disinformation is the knowingly spreading of false information. Sadly, we must conclude that the CCC is spreading disinformation.
If António Guterres Can’t Get Basic Facts Right, Why Should We Believe the UN on Anything?
Antonio ‘boiling’ Guterres’s constant hysterical pronouncements are risible. But he is still the head of the UN – the parent-organisation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – and Roger Pielke worries about the effect of all the false claims and bad science. “The climate science community should care that the UN has been systematically misrepresenting climate science, because it could affect how the IPCC is viewed, fairly or unfairly,” he noted.
BP Scraps Major Hydrogen Plans for Teeside
BP’s announcement that it had dropped plans for a "green" hydrogen plant has been described as "bitterly disappointing".
Cyclone Alfred: Climate Disaster or Inadequate Flood Control?
Cyclone Alfred, Australia's big East Coast cyclone was until recently hyped as a symptom of the climate apocalypse. But doomsayers are facing another disappointment from nature.
Michael E. Mann Responds
As if we needed more proof that the system is rigged in favor of the corporate elite, the court then turned around and ORDERED ME TO PAY OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN LEGAL FEES TO NATIONAL REVIEW!!! Yes, you heard that right—after fighting for truth for over a decade, after being smeared, defamed, and dragged through the legal system, I am the one being punished.

California’s Newsom Finally Bows to Trump’s Forest Wisdom – And It’s About Time!
The irony is thicker than the smoke over LA. For years, Newsom and his crew insisted they’d “surged” brush-clearing efforts since he took office in 2019. Yet here we are, with the governor admitting it’s not enough—implicitly conceding that Trump’s critique hit the bullseye. Even Richard Grenell, Trump’s special envoy, is piling on, calling the Coastal Commission “a disaster” and hinting at tying aid to real reforms.
Breaking: A Victory for Free Speech: Mark Steyn’s $1 Million Judgment Slashed to $5,000 in Landmark Climate Case
Today, we raise a cheer for reason, justice, and the unyielding spirit of free expression! Today, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia delivered a resounding blow to overreach in the long-running defamation lawsuit brought by climate scientist Michael Mann against conservative commentator Mark Steyn. In a Final Judgment Order, Judge Alfred S. Irving, Jr. reduced Steyn’s punitive damages from an astronomical $1 million to a modest $5,000—vindicating Steyn, protecting open debate, and sending a powerful message about the limits of legal bullying.
“Save NOAA Stop DOGE” Climate Protest
Want to know why the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration needs a massive downsizing? Because it is a political organization masquerading as a weather forecast center. And the climate lobby is upset at the clean-up.

Vice President J.D. Vance: The Optimal Choice for Critical Minerals Czar?
As the U.S. competes for essential tech metals, calls for establishing a Critical Minerals Czar (or special envoy or task force) are plentiful and palpable, and this should be a priority of the Trump administration. We need someone with the requisite authority to coordinate the full apparatus of the U.S. government to secure lithium, cobalt, tungsten and dozens of critical and rare earth elements at home and abroad.
Why Isn’t the Mainstream Media Reporting that Ocean Circulation Is Doing Well?
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is not collapsing, is not slowing catastrophically, and is not about to trigger an Ice Age. The latest scientific research confirms what observational data has shown for decades: AMOC variations are natural, and there is no impending crisis. That’s the good news journalists and news outlets claiming to be presenters of the truth should be reporting, but we at Climate Realism won’t be holding our breaths for it.
Mine, Baby, Mine – Right Here in the USA!
Relatively few Americans today have worked on farms or in mines, oilfields, refineries or factories. Few understand where their food, clothing, cell phones, cosmetics and other essential products actually come from. Most would be astonished to learn that nearly everything we touch or use ultimately comes from holes in the ground. Always has; always will.
Geologic Hydrogen: A Game-Changer or Another Energy Mirage?
For now, it’s a tantalizing “maybe.” The authors call for more research, and they’re right—too much is up in the air to bank on it. Think early shale gas: a long shot that hit big, but only after years of grind and breakthroughs. Hydrogen’s got no such playbook yet. It could be the next energy frontier—or just another overhyped distraction to keep the grant wheels turning.
Guardian: Give Up Kebabs to Stop Global Warming
"... skip two kebabs’ worth of meat a week ..." - and flying, decent home heating, and owning an automobile.
The European Commission Faces Its Biggest Scandal in 20 Years
The European Commission has long been financially supporting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) lobbying for the green policies of former EU Commissioner Frans Timmermans. Lobbyists, funded from the EU budget, were tasked with influencing politicians to push through the Green Deal. This is evidenced by secret contracts obtained by the Dutch newspaper.

Climate Change Weekly # 535 — Paris Climate Treaty Is Going Down
As mentioned above, this study confirms what Climate Realism and Climate at a Glance have long reported: data conclusively proves wildfires are on the decline, both in the United States and globally, contrary to mainstream media lies.
