The Stunning Collapse of the Climate Scam, Documented

by | Jul 19, 2026 | Newsletter | 22 comments

For those who have been paying attention, the stunning collapse of the climate scam over the past year has been something to behold.

First there was the COP Flop.

Then the US withdrew from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Then Judith Curry retired her blog, opining that “Itโ€™s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on.”

Thenย The Guardian published an article lamenting that less than 5% of UK media outlets have used the recent European heat wave as an excuse to promote Net Zero propaganda.

And now even The New York Times is waving the white flag on the climate Armageddon story…well, kind of.

So, what on earth is happening? How did we go from a world where the climate apocalypse was touted as an existential threat to life on earth and trumpeted on the news every single day to a world where climate change isn’t even on the radar anymore?

Let’s find out.

Before reading, this is a genuine question i have, even since the last post on the climate scam: How do you know this? What makes you say this? In my country nothing whatsoever has changed and 99% of the mainstream is still strongly advocating anthropogenic …., even more so since the recent heat wave in europe. So how is it possible that you and Judith Curry declare victory while i feel, see, smell and taste nothing of the sort??? Is this something like crystal ball reading that i just don’t get???

I made a summary of the climate reality:
https://thescienceanalyst.substack.com/p/global-warming-science

There is some new trends in climate science, where they admit that the climate is not going to be a disaster. Also it is well known in science that CO2 is not dangerous.

But you are correct. The media never tells us the scientific facts.
They deliver political based stories. In the EU everyone is still made scared of the summer.

67,
That summary also has some great images!
I like that “Time Magazine” IMAGE.

Re: other false narratives:

Knew about “globaloney” right away, Al Gore’s movie was pathetic.

My “favorite” false narrative is the medical industry stranglehold over “health”. I learned so much the past five years after a scare diagnosis, many prescriptions dodged due to not believing they were right, sucked into many unnecessary and harmful tests, and finally after yet another ER visit finding out on my own research that Ibuprofin (Advil in my case) leads to 100k heart-related ER visits annually. Had to learn that one myself, if any of these “doctors” had said something about that at the beginning, would have avoided them leaching off my insurances and mental frame of mind right away. But the unofficial motto is “curing is a bad business model”, as OBummer Care and private equity continues to dominate the industry. Stopped, and no problems anymore. but from that vantage point watched the medical martial law played out over vaccines (none help, all harm) and the fake COVID “virus”, you know, the one never isolated. Like all phantom “viruses”, which is the foundation of the massive increase in the industry and poor health outcomes. But truth in this area would destroy the economy now.

In Dec 2021 I wrote this:
ITโ€™S NOT A VACCINE (song)
https://old.bitchute.com/video/RkHfzBl9DXgV/

Sometimes it is not long winded conversations that communicate well. Just a simple song can leave a lasting impression. Five years ago seems a life time for many who made the mistake of taking the jab and now, as predicted by many of us back then, “sudden deaths” are becoming commonplace :-/

The Europe Union’s best ways to “cool the planet”:

  • put black absorbent electrical heating tiles on most roofs.
  • put big ventilators on the fields that reduce the wind.
  • put all energy into AI centers to produce slop
  • cut forests and burn the wood for electricity
  • remove farms that manage the fields and replace with buildings
  • import more people from Africa and give them free stuff

I wonder if starting Forest Fires is on that list of ways to “cool” the planet.

The Hopi Indians used fire as a method of clearing the ground by managing not fighting fire!

Opening remarks offered by Maurice Strong, who organized the first U.N. Earth Climate Summit (1992) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, revealed the real goal:
โ€œWe may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrialized civilization to collapse. Isnโ€™t it our responsibility to bring this about?โ€
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
Speaking at the Rio conference, Deputy Assistant of State Richard Benedick, who then headed the policy divisions of the U.S. State Department said:

โ€œA global warming treaty [Kyoto] must be implemented even if there is no scientific evidence to back the [enhanced] greenhouse effect.โ€
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO), then representing the Clinton-Gore administration as U.S Undersecretary of State for global issues, addressing the same Rio Climate Summit audience:

โ€œWe have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.โ€

(Wirth now heads the UN Foundation which lobbies for hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help underdeveloped countries fight climate change.

Right now it is about 5:30PM and a wonderful hard driving afternoon monsoon is outside my door just like the past 10 years up here in the mountains. It is all called weather hey? ๐Ÿ™‚

Uprooting the Climate Change scam is one thing Trump got right, but he fell right into the AI Data Canter scam. The bottom line is that both scams have the common thread of killing off mass numbers of people. Many of these Oligarchs believe that they are doing humanity a favor by reducing world population. Hitler had a similar plan to today’s Zionists. They just want the entire world for themselves and they are willing to do some evil things to get it.

oh, thereโ€™s definitely a climate change, but itโ€™s caused by geo-engineering by the governments. Hereโ€™s the link that totally explains everything with credible sources.

Exactly see my comment above!

No we cant move on. Even though the public discourse is largely that the climate fear mongering is a scam, the banks still use UN’s SDG goals to manage institutions through financial manipulation. If companies want to borrow they need to meet SDG Goals. Governments need to meet SDG goals to get IMF loans. Blackrock & Vanguard still influence the companies they invest in. This all feeds back to the general public whether they are aware of it or not. The UN SDG beast has just gone underground… for now.

The EscapeKey substack does a good job of chronicling this. I highly recommend it..

Thank you James! Yet another helpful thorough newsletter. I added it to my Climate Change doc with resources.

As one of the organisers of IPC16 Thailand 2026, International Permaculture Convergence, I am bringing these kind of ideas and resources to the permaculture related groups and people in hope to show that the climate science is not as settled as many believe.

It would be great to see some Corbett Report members in November. More details here https://thaipermaculture.org/events/ipc16/

The event is created mostly by participants who want to share their knowledge, experience and skills on anything based on 3 Ethics: People Care, Earth Care, Fair Share.

Awareness and Solutions are equally important.

I hope to healthy debate about Climate there.

seems couching climate discussion with the factors of human pollution may be used to distract from the real culprit creating weather anomalies,, drum roll/cymbal crash, yes for the ultimate in global domination weaponry its,,,, “weather engineering” that type of tech could explain random fire starts and ensuing evidence of dew or other yet to be determined physics,. Or jet stream manipulation to hurricane steer or even stop entire systems of flow. (upper atmospheric heating).. bring water, fire, drought, snow, next they’ll be vibrating the crust for targeted earthquakes.

The counter conspiracy, which I’m hoping is the truth, is that all those non-dissolving jet exhaust trails, are just another psyop/lie to rabbit hole the whistleblowers, chasing that truther dollar.

It’s not dead in the UK yet by a long shout. This piece of fear porn is doing the rounds with viewings being hosted up and down the country. There is a viewing scheduled and hosted by the Green loons in our village. Most people here are quite rational but they are still hooked on the Climate Scam. “The National Emergency Briefing”.

https://www.nebriefing.org/

Look on the bright side. As the Starmer unit goes off for refurbishment following a series of system malfunctions, that northern lad Andy parachutes into NO10 tomorrow to steer the UK forward (no doubt on exactly the same disastrous course). I note, however, that Burnham looks set to sideline net zero zealot Ed Milliband and has promised to increase drilling for oil in the North Sea. He’s also promised to scrap digital ID. He’s known as “flip-flop” Andy for a reason so I’m not holding my breath.

We have to wonder though why we are coated up there with a wispy whiteness which is not normal cloud? This leaves us under a super airless heat dome for hours overnight so it is difficult to breathe! Could this be geoengineering and a reason for super strong heat – the solution becoming the problem, affecting the protective ozone layer and the sky becoming a dumping ground to block out the sun? We are frying in France, the animals are passing out and you have to stay in and find shade after 4pm.

Thanks James for another great article. Its conclusion too is ver motivating.
As a Canadian living in Germany, I can laugh (better than crying)a lot at the suicidal net 0โ‚ฌ behavior of the Europeans. They are not rich as the North Americans in ressources and space, so the bad corrupt decisions bite sooner here. I feel though, that people here start to wake up (in Canada too). Everything has become to obvious. Are we going to have a Frank Zappa’s Theater moment?
Do not forget the cow farts I tell to my normies friends, while you look at the news of wars everywhere.
Meanwhile with Climate Glaring scam, real pollution was hidden.
Thanks also to all of “us” not because we were mostly right. Because we are free thinkers & care for the others…normies included.

Cittroen_DS,
You bring up a great comparison that exposes the lunacy…

The Climate Change weighting of Cow Farts vs the War Machine.

Of course the Europeans, Canadians and others will carry on preaching the “Climate Scam”, and the thing is, if ever there is a climate issue we might be facing, it is one that makes what they call “fossil fuels”, and a few things the Net Zero policy threatens us with, vital for our survival.

Please watch this podcast from James Delingpole with Professor Valentina Zharkova, a Ukrainian Mathematician and Physicist who has been studying the solar cycles and solar activities for years. Her language is a bit tough to understand for the majority of us, but it’s worth watching it to the end.

Thank you as always James ๐Ÿ™‚
