Between 2007 and 2012, scientists conducted comprehensive ice drilling in Greenland, aiming to unveil Earth's climate history from the previous 125,000 years. Their findings put today's climate fearmongering into perspective. "Back then, Greenland was around 8°C warmer than today. Sea levels were 4-8m higher." "Yet the planet didn't collapse... show more

A new study shows a thick ice cap in Greenland was completely ice-free just 7,000 years ago. The cap is Prudhoe Dome, which today is some 1,600 feet thick. The researchers drilled through the ice and dated the sediments below it. It turns out those sediments were once exposed to sunlight, meaning there was no ice. 7,000 years ago, summer temperatures were 3 to 5C warmer than today. This study shows, once again, that large ice losses have occurred in the recent past, caused entirely by natural climate variability - no CO2 forcing required.

The global mean surface temperature today is only about 1C warmer than it was in 1880. This modest rise has been framed as a 'climate emergency,' yet in historical context it is trivial. Global temperatures have fluctuated by more than 10C over natural glacial cycles long before industrialization. Even during the Holocene, recent periods such as the Medieval Warm Period were far warmer than today without triggering catastrophe. The data show no runaway warming or planetary collapse. In fact, historical records reveal warmth is beneficial to humanity and to life in general. This disconnect between reality and the apocalyptic rhetoric exposes the ruse. There is no "climate crisis."

For decades, climate models assumed that bare ice, the exposed surface left behind when seasonal snow melts, was impermeable. Every drop of summer melt was thought to run straight into the ocean. But new research shows bare ice can actually absorb, retain, and even refreeze meltwater. Field data show current models exaggerating Greenland runoff by between 21 to 58% during peak melt, with runoff-driven mass loss overstated by as much as 47%, and surface melt by up to 40%. In southwest Greenland alone, between 11 and 17 gigatons of meltwater are held back each year within bare ice. That's nearly 15% of what models assumed was pouring into the sea. And because more than three quarters of Greenland's melt comes from these bare ice zones, the errors here are huge. Greenland has been the poster child of global warming for decades. But if its melt has been exaggerated by half, the narrative collapses.

Jordan Peterson: For most of the last 500 million years, Earth was not only much warmer than it is today, but atmospheric CO₂ levels were five to ten times higher than they are now. "Yet during that period, life flourished abundantly." "Also, the carbon dioxide and the temperature during that period are radically out of sync and not obviously causally related."

In 2006, Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth, a film that defined modern climate alarm. In it, he warned Greenland and Antarctica's ice would melt, driving seas high enough to put major cities underwater, with entire coastlines redrawn. Eighteen years later though, none of it has happened. Not even close. Meanwhile, Gore got very rich. While ordinary people were told to feel guilty and cut back, he built a fortune. Gore became the first climate billionaire. His wealth came from green investment funds, such as board seats and advisory roles, 200k+ speaking fees and carbon credit trading. Al Gore didn't save the planet. He monetized fear.

Svalbard, a remote Arctic archipelago, holds inconvenient secrets about our climate history. A new study reveals it was up to 9C warmer around 10,000 years ago when CO2 was just 260 parts per million. Despite this warmth, glaciers didn't vanish. They survived, supported by increased snowfall. Svalbard then cooled for the next 8,000 years while CO2 kept rising. No tipping points, no runaway melt. Yet today's climate models project the same 8 to 9C of warming by the year 2100 (using the discredited RCP8.5 scenario), and predict widespread glacier loss. That directly contradicts the historical record. Even the study's authors admit the future may follow the past. Warmer, wetter conditions could bring more snowfall, stabilizing or even growing glaciers. The fatal flaw in climate modeling has raised its ugly head once again. It can't replicate history. And when the past contradicts your theory, it's the theory that's broken, not the past.

"Climate always changes. What would concern me is if climate didn't change. Then we would have a climate catastrophe." Geologist Prof. Ian Plimer: "Climates are cyclical... When we're closer to the Sun, we happen to be a bit warmer, and when we're further away, we happen to be a bit cooler... The Sun puts out variable amounts of energy... And these are the two drivers of climate: the amount of energy that's put out by the Sun, and how close we are to the Sun." "For more than 80% of time, the planet has been warmer and wetter than now. For more than 80% of time, sea levels have been higher than now." "We've had eight major ice ages, and each one of these ice ages started when we had more carbon dioxide in the air than now. So how could carbon dioxide drive warming?" "So as soon as this idea of human-induced climate change appeared, we geologists thought: No, that doesn't fit in with hundreds of years of data. This sounds like a con."

A new study confirms the Medieval Warm Period was warmer than today. Researchers found leafy moss buried 36 feet deep in Antarctica's Boulder Clay Glacier, dated to around 1,000 years ago, right in the middle of the Medieval Warm Period. During this time, parts of Antarctica were warm enough for meltwater to carve a 4 km long channel through what is now a permanently frozen glacier. Ice that never melts today once hosted moss and flowing streams. The medieval warm period wasn't a myth, as some climate activists have tried to claim. The physical proof is there. Moss, melt channels and layered sediments all tell the same story, as do proxy records from around the world. The planet was warmer just 1,000 years ago.

In 2006, Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was peak climate fearmongering. He showed maps of cities underwater, claiming melting ice from Greenland and Antarctica would displace hundreds of millions. He said our maps "would have to be redrawn." 18 years later, none of it has happened. Not even close. The apocalypse was always a decade away. Meanwhile, the man selling the panic got rich. Very rich. While you were told to feel guilty and lower your standard of living, Al Gore built a $300+ million personal fortune from the climate industrial complex. He became the first "climate billionaire." He made his money from: Green investment funds (Generation Investment Management) Board seats & advisory roles Massive speaking fees ($200k+ per speech) Carbon credit trading He didn't save the planet. He monetized your anxiety. The truth is, the predictions were always more profitable than they were accurate.

Al Gore said we had 10 years to save the planet… 19 years ago. Let’s check the scoreboard on his apocalyptic 2006 predictions. 1/ In 2006, Al Gore stood on his iconic ladder and gave a masterclass in climate fearmongering. He claimed Greenland & Antarctica were disintegrating, that "maps of the world will have to be redrawn," and showed graphics of major cities flooding. The media treated it as gospel. 2/ So, what’s happened since his dire warning? Greenland Ice Mass: - Gore’s claim: Imminent breakup and melt, causing catastrophic sea level rise. - The Reality: While Greenland has lost ice, it's a far cry from "maps being redrawn." - From 1992-2023, Greenland contributed ~13.7 mm to sea level rise. That's about half an inch over 31 years. 3/ Sea Level Rise: - Gore’s implication: Feet of sea level rise, drowning Florida, Shanghai, and the Netherlands. - The Reality: The global average sea level has risen at a steady, linear rate of about 3.4 mm per year for decades. No alarming acceleration. Since 2006, it's risen about 2.3 inches total. 4/ Let's be clear: A 2-3 inch rise over 18 years is a concern for long-term planning, but it is not the "redraw the world maps" catastrophe Gore sold to the public. His graphics were science-fiction, not science. 5/ The real tragedy of Gore’s doom-peddling? It created a generation of climate policy based on panic, not pragmatism. It shut down scientific debate and funneled trillions into inefficient solutions based on failed models. When the predictions fail so spectacularly, you have to question the motive. 6/ The climate is complex, and our understanding evolves. But the "settled science" of 2006, used to justify a radical restructuring of the global economy, was wildly, demonstrably wrong. It’s not denial to point out when a prophecy fails. It’s accountability. What's your take?

A quick reminder, the climate didn’t start changing when humans showed up. Long before factories, cars, or carbon charts, Earth’s climate was already in motion. Ice ages came and went. Sea levels rose and fell. Volcanoes changed global weather overnight. In fact, the planet was warmer about 7,000 years ago during what scientists call the Mid-Holocene Optimum. History backs this up: • The “Year Without a Summer” after a massive volcanic eruption • Worldwide famines tied to climate shifts in the 1870s • The 1930s Dust Bowl, with the worst heat, droughts, fires, and storms the U.S. has ever recorded All of this happened before modern industry or human emissions played any role. So why does today’s climate conversation act like none of this matters? This clip from "Jefferey Jaxen Investigates: The Rush to Green Energy - Part I" puts climate history back into the discussion. It exists. It should be discussed. Watch and share. And find the link to watch Part II by clicking here:

A new study analyzed more than 200 fossil mollusk shells from coastal deposits on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The shells date to two past warm periods: the last interglacial (about 127,000 to 115,000 years ago), and the Holocene (which began around 11,700 years ago). Scientists measured oxygen and carbon isotopes preserved in the shells to reconstruct ancient sea temperatures. The results show SSTs were often 4C warmer than today. During the last interglacial, reconstructed temperatures ranged from 17.6C to 22.9C. For comparison, modern coastal waters typically range from about 15C to 19C. Sea levels were higher in the past too As much as 5 meters above present during the last interglacial, and up to 3 meters higher during the mid-Holocene. Warmer and higher seas occurred naturally long before modern emissions.

Instead of admitting decades of failed predictions, climate academics are now claiming polar bears are "rapidly evolving" to survive catastrophic man-made warming. But the premise is completely false. The Arctic was far warmer 6,000 years ago, often ice-free even, and polar bears thrived. Their lineage actually dates back 400,000+ years through repeated warm phases. They don't need "rescue mutations," they've survived natural climate shifts far more extreme than today. And in 2025, bears are actually thriving. Estimates place today's global population at more than 30,000 -the highest in the recorded era and far above the 5,000 estimated in the 1950s. Rather than admit they were wrong, the climate industry has chosen a new fiction: "instant evolution." The grift continues. But data and logic aren't on its side.

"No. I think one of the reasons that they're having a little bit trouble selling it in Greenland, the Danes, I mean, is that the independence does not come from the US. It comes from us." "It's us who wants independence." Nichols "And then we've heard Donald Trump say that he wants to take Greenland. Do you have any concerns around that?"

Retreating ice at Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier is exposing ancient tree stumps. Carbon dating places the stumps at around 1,000 to 2,000 years old. Forests once grew where ice now sits. Glaciers have been gradually pulling back since the end of the Little Ice Age, since the 1800s. As they recede, they're exposing land that was previously ice-free as recently as 1,000 years ago (when CO2 levels were far lower than they are today). We see this not only in Alaska, but across the Arctic. Retreating ice is uncovering soils, wood, and organic material. In Greenland, buried soils, plant remains, and insects have also been found beneath the ice. These are direct physical records of far warmer temperatures in the recent past. Warmth brings vegetation and biodiversity. Cold brings hardship and advancing ice sheets. It is obvious which conditions life prefers.

Antarctic sea ice extent is currently tracking the long-term average dating back to 1979. In fact, there is more sea ice around Antarctica today than there was 45 years ago in 1981. In the Arctic, the picture is also misrepresented. There has been no net trend in Arctic sea ice extent since Greta Thunberg was three years old. Season ups and downs play out, but there is no sustained decline. Taken together, total global sea ice extent right now is higher than it was in 2006. That was the year Al Gore predicted polar collapse and was awarded the Nobel Prize. This is not conjecture. It is what the satellite record shows.

Just 5,000 years ago, the Arctic looked very different. During the Holocene Thermal Maximum, summers in the northern hemisphere were 3C warmer than today. And life thrived. Birch and spruce forests expanded all the way to the edges of the Arctic Ocean in places like northern Siberia and Alaska. Ancient pollen, macro fossils and soil records confirmed these weren't isolated trees. They formed sustained forests, replacing tundra with thriving ecosystems. Permafrost back then was weak, patchy or absent. Peatlands developed, supporting rich life where frozen ground would later take over. But around 5,000 years ago, colder and wetter conditions returned. This marked the neoglacial period. The trees retreated, permafrost spread. And the Arctic became the frozen, barren expanse we know today. Yet the land still remembers. Buried trunks, preserved seeds and deep peat layers tell the story of a greener, warmer north. Ignored in today's narratives is an inconvenient truth: The climate is always changing, and history shows us warmth is beneficial for life.

These are the Nine tipping elements that regulate the state of the entire climate system on Earth. The entire Nine tipping elements are showing signs of instability. During the next years this will be the most alarming thing on earth. For example. Greenland ice sheet, accelerated melting, warming four times faster than the planet as a whole. Releasing cold, fresh water, slowing down the overturning of heat in the North Atlantic, pushing the whole monsoon system down further south, causing droughts and forest fires over the Amazon rainforest. And just for perspective, drought causes Yangtze - China’s most important river and the third-longest in the world - to dry up - affecting hydropower, shipping routes, limiting drinking water supplies, and even much worse. We saw the prices of food, fuel and energy soared due to the situation in Ukraine. And this is predicted to make things a lot worse because we depend on China imports than Russia and Ukraine. COVID-19 has reminded us that we live on a small planet, where none of us are isolated from the problems in our global community. So, governments need to remember that the science who told us to worry about COVID-19 and how to deal with it is the same science telling us to worry about climate change with a long list of recommendations on climate actions. Dear friends, this is no longer just a climate crisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. Which in the future will shift over from supporting humanity to starting to undermine humanity. If we don’t act in the same way about climate change, the effects of a hotter planet will be much worse. This is a humanitarian crisis.
