Climate group reverses course on doomsday predictions #shorts

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]President Trump took a victory lap over the weekend after a prominent environmental panel softened its doom and gloom take on the impacts of climate change. The United Nations backed group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, recently adjusted its outlook for the next 75 years. The group had been calling for 4 to 5 degrees of warming by the year 2100. Also, those degrees there are in Celsius because apparently that makes an important science-y distinction here. Now, that may not sound like much, 4 or 5 degrees, but scientists had issued that figure to calculate things like a dramatic rise in sea levels, massive failures of crops around the globe, melting glaciers, real doom and gloom end-of-days stuff. The IPCC adjusted that guidance, and President Trump cheered, posting, quote, "The United Nations top climate committee just admitted that its own predictions were wrong, wrong, wrong.

[00:00:51]For far too long, climate activism has been used by Democrats to scare Americans, push horrible energy policies, and fund billions into their bogus research programs." Now, the scientists behind the change noted that decreased cost and increased adoption of renewable energy and more research into the whole thing is the reason that they adjusted their findings.
