Trump celebrates UN climate panel walking back extreme warming scenario

May 18, 2026

Trump is taking a victory lap after the UN climate panel quietly moved away from its most extreme warming scenario, which the hosts frame as vindication for climate skeptics and a blow to Democrats and activists.

  • The UN's top climate committee adjusted its modeling framework away from the worst-case 4 to 5°C warming projection by 2100, which had been used to back many alarming forecasts.
  • Trump posted that 15 years of Democrat warnings about climate destroying the planet were wrong, and said climate activism was used to push bad energy policies and fund bogus research.
  • The hosts argue climate change was never about climate but about control, globalism, and wealth redistribution through tools like carbon credits.
  • They mock Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, AOC, and Bernie Sanders for past doomsday predictions that did not come true, comparing the moment to the lab-leak theory becoming accepted.
  • They argue banks and insurers would never finance beachfront property if rising seas were a real near-term risk, pointing to that as proof the alarm was overblown.

Outlook: Expect Trump and Republicans to use this revision to push harder against green energy rules and climate spending.
