It's nice when something you knew was a fraud all along turns out to be a fraud, but it's even nicer when the people perpetrating the fraud admit it was a fraud all along.
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just published the next generation of climate scenarios," science policy analyst Roger Pielke Jr wrote late last week, and in what he called "big news," the new framework "eliminated the most extreme scenarios that have dominated climate research over much of the past several decades."
So the oceans aren't about to boil off or freeze over or whatever the current scare story is?
Exactly: "The IPCC and broader research community

Inquiring minds want to know....why now?

Exactly #1! The very fact that this is coming out means a new scam is bubbling somewhere.

But the science was settled, just like the covid shots.

Somebody somewhere said, "Well, heck, guys....nobody's buying this BS any more, so I think it's time to stop with the ridiculous claims".
Never believed a word of it. Always have continued to do what I can to live a normal life. Now....can we blow up and haul away all those damned ugly, eyesore windmills and stop paving the SW in silicon modules?
Also, I want EPA resetting auto emission standards to 2000 standards and LOCK THEM DOWN THERE, permanently. No further tightening needed EVER.

Climate scam began back in the early seventies, when Marxist Environmental Activist started pushing the "Cry Wolf" model. I call it that, because the activists, in magazines like Audobon and National Wildlife began pushing the idea that any issue had to be exaggerated to get attention. I call it the "Cry Wolf" model for obvious reasons.

As others here have speculated (myself included), I think it's because it suddenly dawned on them that they're going to need mega-energy to make the next enslavement method feasible--and that method is AI.

Ask AI and you likely get the opposite answer.

Well, this should be HUGE news and widely reported on the MSM if they were actually independent and honest reporters.
FTA:
"The IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible. They describe impossible futures."
This is important because the IPCC's changes resulted in "an update to the Science Based Targets initiative’s rules eliminates the need for steep emission cuts by 2030," Trellis reported on Friday.
More FTA:
— the upshot is that the previous frameworks lacked "any systematic effort to evaluate plausibility of scenarios." Now, however, "the new HIGH scenario is exploratory — a thought experiment, not a projection."
"users of climate models and model output based on legacy scenarios will now face decisions about if and how they’d like to realign with the latest scientific understandings versus continuing to rely on outdated research."
Sadly, and begs the question why this was buried and likely purposely hidden from the public.
The new IPCC framework actually dates back to 2021, but is only now becoming “news” because a bunch of slow-moving pieces have finally lined up. That's just how science works.
The LEFT can no longer say they are following the science any longer. They would be the deniers and have to figure out how they were so duped.

"the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible." AND "the previous frameworks lacked "any systematic effort to evaluate plausibility of scenarios.""
In other words, the Alarmists made stuff up in a "scientific" article and then the reviews couldn't be bothered to determine if the outcomes were likely or pure bunk. Maybe they didn't want to look too carefully because they KNEW what they would find out; that it was all garbage science.
However, since it was "the science" it could be quoted and had credibility. In fact, the Alarmists were furious that we wouldn't accept their "science". NOW it seems, their science was very close to science FICTION.
Now, we have to ask all the people that were in hysterics because the earth was going to going to fry everyone, what they are going to do with all their implausible angst? We can revisit Ronald Reagan quote, "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so many things that aren't so". The problem is, the Left takes their delusions of knowledge to heart and insists it be addressed, BEFORE they validate their "knowledge". When we point out the fallacies of their beliefs they get angry with us for questioning them. However, unexamined "knowledge" can be useless or even dangerous.
With the IPCC in retreat, the Climate emergency dopes are doomed. I wonder if the evening news is going to back off of their nightly stories of "extreme" weather about tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, hot days, cold days that happen all the time as part of normal weather.

I knew that it was a scam sixty years ago.

Well DUH!
algore said in the early 70s that we had ten years to save the planet from burning up. Now he says we have ten years to stop an ice age.
