For decades, the narrative of catastrophic global warming driven by human CO2 emissions has been pushed as undeniable truth, but a closer examination reveals it as a carefully constructed deception. As detailed in Unmasking the Global Warming Hoax, this hoax originated from misinterpretations of early research, shifting from geoengineering efforts to warm the Arctic to alarmist claims that justify carbon taxes and manipulative technologies. The United Nations has perpetuated this lie for nearly 50 years, relying on presumptions rather than evidence, as exposed in UN Blatantly Lied About Global Warming.

The so-called 97% scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming is one of the biggest myths, with only 1.6% of papers explicitly endorsing that humans cause over 50% of observed warming. This fabrication, debunked in Global Warming Hoax, stems from flawed studies like Cook et al. (2013), where neutral or skeptical papers were misclassified to inflate agreement. Scientists like Craig Idso and Nir Shaviv have protested these misrepresentations, highlighting how the narrative ignores natural drivers like solar activity.

Historical climate cycles show that Earth’s temperature fluctuations are natural, driven by solar variations and orbital changes, not solely fossil fuels. The scam exploits these cycles for economic gain, imposing policies that infringe on human rights and enrich elites, as argued in Global Warming Scam. Failed predictions, such as ice-free Arctics or submerged nations by 2000, further prove the pseudoscience behind it.

Institutional biases fuel this deception, with funding directed toward alarmist research while suppressing dissent. As outlined in Funding Biases, scandals like Climategate reveal data manipulation to enforce an artificial consensus. Similarly, Fake Science frames climate change as a prime example of fabricated claims, using tactics like coerced peer reviews to maintain control.

The claim of “settled science” is another tool to silence opposition, ignoring historical shifts in scientific understanding. In Settled Science, parallels are drawn to past dogmas that were later overturned, underscoring how climate narratives suppress alternative views.

Even mainstream sources acknowledge the exaggeration; climate change is not an existential crisis, as explained in Why Climate Change Is Not Existential. The IPCC does not link it to apocalyptic outcomes, yet Mockingbird Media hype creates fatalism. Economic critiques in Climate Finance Critique question the overstated risks, suggesting policies are driven by profit rather than science.

The following table illustrates decades of alarmist predictions that have failed to materialise, exposing the pattern of fear-mongering:

1989	New York City’s West Side Highway underwater by 2019.	James Hansen via Salon	False
1990	We shall win or lose the climate struggle in the first years of the 1990s.	Mostafa Tolba	False
1993	Most of the great environmental struggles will be either won or lost in the 1990s and by the next century it will be too late.	Thomas Lovejoy, Smithsonian	False
2000	Children won’t know what snow is.	David Viner, Independent	False
2000	Snowfalls are now a thing of the past.	Independent	False
2002	Famine in 10 years if we don’t give up eating fish, meat, and dairy.	Guardian	False
2004	Major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas; nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.	Pentagon report	False
2005	Manhattan underwater by 2015.	Various	False
2005	Fifty million climate refugees by 2020.	UN	False
2006	Unless drastic measures were implemented, the planet would hit an irreversible point of no return.	Al Gore	False
2006	Super hurricanes.	Al Gore	Partial – Hurricane intensity has increased, but not apocalyptic super hurricanes leading to doomsday.
2007	If there is no action before 2012, that’s too late.	Rajendra Pachauri, UN Climate Panel	False
2008	Arctic will be ice-free by 2018.	Various/AP	False
2008	Al Gore warns of ice-free Arctic by 2013.	Al Gore	False
2008	Not doing it will be catastrophic. We’ll be eight degrees hotter in 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.	Ted Turner	False (pending full due date but no signs of fulfillment)
2008	We’re toast if we don’t get on a very different path. This is the last chance.	James Hansen	False
2008	As early as 2015, New York City would be under water and widespread famine and drought would lead to global instability (e.g., milk at $12.99, gas over $9 a gallon).	ABC News “Earth 2100”	False
2009	Prince Charles says only 8 years to save the planet (96 months).	Prince Charles, Independent	False
2009	UK prime minister says 50 days to save the planet from catastrophe.	Gordon Brown, Independent	False
2009	Arctic ice-free by 2014.	Al Gore/USA Today	False
2009	The polar ice caps would be ice free by 2016 (75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap during some summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years).	Al Gore	False
2009	There are now fewer than 50 days to set the course of the next 50 years and more… By then, it will be irretrievably too late.	Gordon Brown	False

2014	Only 500 days before climate chaos.	French FM Laurent Fabius	False
2018	Climate change could create a massive global food shortage; our changing climate is already making it more difficult to produce food.	MSNBC / Barack Obama	False
2019	The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.	Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez	Pending (due 2031)
2019	Only 11 years left to prevent irreversible damage from climate change.	UN	Pending (due 2030)
2019	An 11-year window to escape catastrophe.	Maria Garces, UN General Assembly President	Pending (due 2030)
2019	Science tells us that how we act or fail to act in the next 12 years will determine the very livability of our planet.	Joe Biden	Pending (due 2031)
2023	Humanity still has a chance close to the last to prevent the worst of climate change’s future harms; the climate time-bomb is ticking.	UN / Antonio Guterres	False (no doomsday by 2025)

Total predictions listed: 41. How many have come true: 0 (fully true doomsday scenarios). One is partial (increased hurricane intensity, but not the predicted super hurricanes causing apocalyptic outcomes). The vast majority did not materialise as predicted, with several still pending but showing no signs of apocalyptic fulfillment by October 2025.

In conclusion, the global warming hoax distracts from real environmental stewardship, promoting irreversible geoengineering and economic burdens while ignoring humanity’s adaptability to natural changes.
