Trump celebrates after UN climate committee moves away from its most extreme global warming scenario
The updated projection found the long-used worst-case emissions scenario was implausible, as 85 scientists said Trump’s claims were misleading or wrong.
- Trump celebrated the United Nations TOP Climate Committee updating its projections on Saturday, claiming the move vindicates his critiques of "Climate Change" alarmism.
- Updating projections this spring, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee concluded the extreme RCP8 pathway—used for 15 years—is now implausible due to falling renewable Energy costs.
- While Trump claimed vindication, a group of 85 Scientists wrote a letter stating such claims are misleading, and The Associated Press reported that Nine out of 10 Scientists view the discarded scenario as previously plausible.
- Trump previously revoked the Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency endangerment finding in February, citing "TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT" as his administration's foundation.
- Reflecting how the world has dramatically increased cleaner Energy use to flatten emissions, the now-jettisoned scenario retained a role helping governments prepare for climate risks.

FACT FOCUS: Trump distorts recent revisions of scientific projections of global warming
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump recently blasted the accuracy of global warming projections in a Truth Social post that itself painted a distorted view of the science, projections and
Ditching of climate change forecast 'shows science isn't settled', top scientist claims
The ditching of the most apocalyptic global warming forecast is proof science is never settled, a climate analyst has said. Professor Roger Pielke Jr suggests a “comprehensive reassessment” of both policy and future predictions on climate is now needed.Scientists and the media have long quoted from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) worst-case scenario, which foresaw temperatures soaring by up to 5C, massive sea level rises a…
Han Sam-hee's Environmental Column: Extreme Climate Scenarios Discarded. The catastrophic future prediction of a temperature rise of over 4 degrees, which dominated discussions for over a decade, was officially discarded by the UN climate science body last month. Will this mark a turning point for a calm response? The IPCC, a UN-affiliated climate science body, has published six climate assessment reports at intervals of 5 to 9 years.
Net Zero Fearmongering In Tatters After Climate Report 'Implausibility' Ruling
Net Zero Fearmongering In Tatters After Climate Report 'Implausibility' Ruling Authored by Chris Morrison via DailySceptic.org, The fallout from the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ruling that computer model high emissions pathway RCP8.5 is “implausible” is only just beginning. Most mainstream media fearmongering stories over the last 15 years need to be moved into the junk file, as do the increasingly shrill sandwich-boa…
Trump once again declares climate science as a hoax because the same scientists he called frauds for years updated a spreadsheet that aligned with his agenda
After climate scientists quietly retired one of their worst-case emissions models — not because the planet stopped warming, but because clean energy adoption made the scenario’s assumptions outdated — Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare victory over science. “GOOD RIDDANCE!” Trump screamed into the void in all caps, informing his followers that the United Nations had just admitted its climate projections were “WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” He t…
