They Lied to Your Kids for 15 Years. The UN Just Admitted It.

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent admission by the UN's climate body regarding the implausibility of extreme emissions models and its impact on young people's perceptions of climate change.

The UN's top climate body just quietly buried the doomsday scenario that drove the past 15 years of climate panic, and almost no one noticed. The IPCC has officially declared RCP 8.5, its most extreme emissions model, implausible. That's the same model behind nearly every apocalyptic headline Gen Z has been reading since grade school. The damage is already done. A Lancet study of 10,000 young people found that 84% are worried about climate change, 45% feel negatively affected in their daily lives, and nearly four in ten say they're hesitant to have children. The junk science and the derangement that’s followed didn't spread itself. _____________________________________ Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/they-lied-to-your-kids-for-15-years?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true _____________________________________ See fewer carts go abandoned and more sales go with Shopify and their Shop Pay button.
