The House of the Great Climate Scam is collapsing. The United Nations’ own climate priesthood has finally admitted what skeptics have screamed for years: their favorite apocalyptic scenario, RCP8.5 – the one predicting civilization-ending warming, floods, fires, and famines unless we destroy our economies with Green New Deals – is “implausible.” Fake. Junk science sold as gospel.

But here’s the real bombshell the fake news won’t touch: The European Union, that bloated bureaucratic beast strangling its citizens with Net Zero madness, hasn’t pulled even one document, “scientific” report, regulation, or taxpayer-funded scare tactic based on this now-discredited fairy tale. Not a single one. Trillions in subsidies, destroyed industries, skyrocketing energy bills, and farmers rioting in the streets – all propped up on a foundation of lies.

For over a decade, EU apparatchiks at the European Environment Agency (EEA), Joint Research Centre (JRC), Climate-ADAPT, and even the European Central Bank leaned hard on RCP8.5 as their “high-emissions” nightmare fuel. Sea-level rise maps? RCP8.5. Extreme fire weather? RCP8.5. Heatwaves, droughts, flooding Armageddon? All RCP8.5. The PESETA projects hammering agriculture, coasts, energy, and tourism? Straight out of the RCP8.5 playbook. Bank stress tests? You guessed it.

These “experts” hyped impossible futures – all to justify the European Green Deal, Fit for 55 insanity, carbon taxes, EV mandates, heating bans, and deindustrialization that’s gutting Europe. Roger Pielke Jr.nailedit: These scenarios produced “impossible futures” that dominated policy anyway.

Now the IPCC’s scenario team is quietly retiring RCP8.5/SSP5-8.5 for the next assessment round because it’s detached from reality. Even they can’t pretend anymore.

Brussels’ climate cultists are scrambling. They claim RCP8.5 can be “retired” thanks to the glorious march of renewables (wind and solar, of course) and policy “progress.” Pure fantasy. Record CO2 emissions: The world pumped out more fossil fuel CO2 than ever in 2025 – another all-time high, with 2026 trending the same. Global emissions keep climbing. China, India, and the rest of the world aren’t playing the suicide game.

Renewables (sun & wind)? Apathetic3% of primary energy. Not only electricity – primary energy, the stuff that actually powers civilization. Wind and solar as a substitute to fossile fuels and nuclear are intermittent jokes. Their real system costs – backup, grid overhauls, distribution nightmares – make them the most expensive energy sources on the planet. They aren’t “displacing” fossil fuels at scale. They’re expensive add-ons.

The EU’s own data and global stats confirm it: The “renewable revolution” is a subsidy-sucking mirage. Emissions are still rising. The world is not on the low-carbon path these models assumed. RCP8.5 wasn’t killed by green virtue – it was always detached from how humans actually use energy.

Every impact assessment, every adaptation plan, every scare-mongering communication citing this garbage remains official gospel. Why? Because admitting the fraud would mean repealing the Green Deal, admitting they wrecked livelihoods for nothing, and facing the rage of voters already freezing in the dark and paying through the nose.

Think about it: Trillions wasted. Energy poverty exploding across Europe. Industries fleeing to places that laugh at Net Zero. Farmers blockading roads because they can’t compete with insane regulations rooted in debunked models. And the “experts” who peddled this? Still cashing checks, still demanding more power, still smearing skeptics as “deniers.” Senior EU officials are so unhinged they’reassaultingscientists who dare speak the truth. That’s not science – that’s a cult.
