WTH is Going On With The Corruption of Climate Science? Roger Pielke Jr. Explains

President Biden is pushing through climate regulations at record
speed as his administration, activists, and international
organizations warn of an impending climate disaster absent
drastic policy changes. But as the US pauses exports of liquefied
natural gas and attempts to spend over a trillion dollars on
climate initiatives, few stop to ask the question, “Is the world
really headed towards climate apocalypse?” In short, no. Climate
science relies on scenarios, of which there are thousands.
However, billionaires, policymakers, and climate forums have
ensured that the most extreme, outdated, and implausible scenario
is now the global “baseline.” What do climate scientists actually
think of RCP 8.5? And how can US policy better reflect the
realities of climate change?


Roger Pielke Jr. is a nonresident senior fellow at the American
Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on science and technology
policy, the politicization of science, and energy and climate. He
is concurrently a professor in the College of Arts and Sciences
at the University of Colorado Boulder; a distinguished fellow at
the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan; a research associate of
Risk Frontiers (Sydney, Australia); and an honorary professor of
University College London. Dr. Pielke is a regular contributor
for and oversees the popular substack The Honest Broker.
