Climate alarmism under attack in Germany…
Germany’s No. 1 party – conservative AfD Party – calls for tangible consequences for politics, the media, and the judiciary after extreme emission scenario “RCP 8.5 is no longer scientifically serious and will no longer be used.
The Germany-based European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) reports that on May 20, 2026, the AfD requested a topical debate (Aktuelle Stunde) in the Bundestag.
The background for the debate was the decision within the scientific IPCC/CMIP7 framework to no longer use the extreme emission scenario “RCP 8.5” (or SSP5-8.5) as a plausible worst-case scenario.
AfD climate spokesperson Karsten Hilse described the scenario as an implausible “horror scenario” and “the greatest fraud in human history”, arguing that it had been used for years to generate panic and justify expensive climate measures, and had even influenced the Federal Constitutional Court’s draconian 2021 climate ruling.
The other political parties (Union, SPD, Greens, Left) rejected the criticism. They argued that the extreme scenario had become unrealistic precisely because of the success of climate protection and renewable energies! Therefore, the AfD Party (the true conservatives) in Germany there is no need to change policy, especially since other scenarios with significant warming (up to approximately 3–3.5 °C) remain in place.
EIKE, however, vehemently contradicts the reasoning of the mainstream parties. Citing data from the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy 2025, EIKE argues that the global contribution of wind (1.5%) and solar (1.3%) to the primary energy demand in 2024 totaled just around 2.8%.
CO2 emissions have not slowed globally
EIKE views the success of renewables as a sham argument, claiming instead that deindustrialization is the true cause of altered emission trends.
Media coverage following the debate was very restrained, limited, and largely following standard patterns of political polarization. The topic did not trigger a major wave of media attention.
It’s certainly the biggest scientific fraud in human history. It had ZERO empirical support and multiple lines of scientific evidence proving it to be preposterous nonsense. A shocking percentage of humans were brainwashed into believing obvious lies anyone with an ounce of common sense could see through.
Yes, scientific fraud. The biggest overall fraud in human history is socialism, of which climate catastrophism is merely a subset, but it’s all in support of ever more government.
Scientific fraud and Governmental Grift Spree
Here’s another candidate. Six foot safe, two weeks to flatten the curve, wear a mask, any fabric will do. Good thing we studied this thing in China.

There is a reason why the first institutions the socialists take over in a country are education and the media.
‘…the first institutions the socialists take over in a country are education…’
I’d say ‘mission accomplished!’, judging on the basis of the lectures offered during my recent college reunion.
AfD is doomed. They keep telling the truth.
With apologies to Jonathan Swift:
“When a truth teller appears, you will know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.”
than you for this post. You might have also changed it to say “a confederacy of liars”
“deindustrialization is the true cause of altered emission trends.”
ahhh….. but the aim of whole wind and solar / unreliable costly energy farce, was mainly about bringing down western industrial society and moving it to China…
At that, it has been quite a success.
Thing is that AfD saying this will have no effect. They have the general reputation, rightly or wrongly, of being uncomfortably far right. They may be part of the same general trend as Reform UK, a revolt against the Great Awokening, but their positioning in the culture and the historical and cultural context is very different.
You notice that Reform UK is proceeding in a very different manner. They are not taking a stance on global climate or global warming. They are focusing on something much more tangible and much more relevant to UK politics: UK energy policy. This is an issue that is really easy to explain in election campaigns, and one which has real explosive potential when the blackouts and energy price rises hit home. It has force on the doorstep.
The problem with climate ideology is not so much that the theory of catastrophic warming is wrong. It evidently is, but that’s not the political problem for the UK or Germany. The problem is that whether it is or is not makes no difference to local energy policy. Neither country is going to be able to run its economy on intermittent wind and solar power, and even if they could and did, they are too small a part of global emissions for it to make any difference to global temperatures. Net Zero is not a rationally justifiable policy, because it won’t work.
Don’t argue about the 2100 temperatures. Just point out, as Reform is doing, that the only effect of trying to move the country to wind and solar is going to be blackouts and high prices (and lots of tax subsidies in addition).
Its a bit like you have a very sick relative, and someone says you should try alternative remedies because antibiotic resistance. No. But don’t get sidetracked into arguing about global antibiotic resistance, argue for treatment that, on the evidence, is most effective.
Here is all the argument you need:

Glance at the minimum output numbers at the bottom of the charts. There is no way you can run a country on this technology. Obvious,
Yes, wind and solar are “parasitic” to the grid.
100% true and sensible.
Socialists have been very successful in labeling anyone who is to the right of them as being far right.
In most of Europe, the political spectrum goes like this:
Communism -> Socialism -> Far right/Nazi
Two legs bad, four legs good.
Nazi’s were self-declared socialists. It’s even in their name: National Socialist Democratic Workers Party.
Hitler has hailed Socialism on mant ocasions.
In the 70’s the Left shifted this to claim Nazi’s were the right or extreme-right. Another lie spread by the Left.
‘They have the general reputation, rightly or wrongly, of being uncomfortably far right. ‘
I’d say ‘wrongly’, but that’s because the Left has succeeded in defining the terms of political debate. The real distinction is between ‘collectivism and coercion’ on the Left and ‘individualism and volition’ on the Right.
Germans on their way back 90 years. This time side-by-side with the US.
FYI, a totalitarian government is not just a dictatorship.
It is a system that tries to control everything, including what people believe, say, and think, in service of a radical ideological vision.
In other words, your green ideology.
You’ll never learn, you don’t want to learn.
The Greens preferred energy tech goes back even farther than 90 years. Windmills were created 1100-1300 years ago.
Great for crushing grain when the fickle wind allows.
Not so good being dependent on that same fickle wind to energize society 24/7/365.
You’re wrong, but it’s obvious from all the crap you type here that you really wish the Communists had won Weimar Germany, and you want them to win now. Collectivism now, collectivism tomorrow, collectivism forever.
The AfD is certainly not for any collectivist ideology. The German collectivist include die Linke, SPD and the Greens. The CDU/CSU was historically center right, but under Merz it has shifted to Globalist center left. The FPD is center right, but is no longer among the major parties in the Bundestag. At this point the only German party on the right that is non-Globalist is the AfD.
Except furthering russian interests
Do you get volume discounts on the kool-aid you drink?
He/She/It gets it via IV.
Yes, Mercel and her government have put Germany back 90 years… to totalitarian socialism.
USA is now going forward, after back-sliding through the Obama and Otto-pen years
Dow Jones hit 50,800 today. !!
Clearly we all live in countries that are not worthy, so perhaps tell us how your country is doing so much better.
I’m not saying my country does better.
That’s cause it sucks living under the oppression wrought by socialist/communist government totalitarianism
The socialists are fine. All the crap comes from our right-wing parties, yet people still keep voting for them.
“Solialists” who own nothing but have been ordered to “be happy”?
No thanks.
Funny, no matter how many times socialism fails, it’s always the fault of those dam capitalists.
Next time, kill more capitalists and everything will start working.
Maybe learn what socialism is and how much of your cozy life exists because of socialists.
Funny how every time socialism fails, the socialists start yelling that it wasn’t real socialism.
EVERYTHING in your life is there because of capitalism. !
Sorry but Big Brother Government is Left not Right (in the states) Right Conservative (Republicans) are for smaller government, lower taxes with less governmental interference. Left Liberal (Democrats) are for larger government, higher taxes and greater governmental control.
I like fair taxation, labour and environmental laws.
As Scott Adams sagely observed, “”Fair” is a word that was invented so children and idiots had some way to participate in conversations.”
Yet MUNR want to keep destroying the environment with wind and solar industrial estates.
The cognitive derangement and dissociation is bizarre, to say the least.
Fair taxation means that after government is through stealing your money, nobody is allowed to have more than Looser name does.
Fair labor means that nobody has to work for a living, they just get free money from government.
Fair environmental laws means that nobody is allowed to do anything that impacts the environment.
Most socialists aren’t competent to tie their own shoes, that’s why they want government to own everything and control everyone
Socialists like MUNR are so dumb that they don’t realise all that “free” stuff…
…is available because of capitalism. !
You mean like the people who actually contribute most to society pay all the tax…
.. and non-contributors, like you, get looked after.. for doing nothing. !!
Don’t project
Fair huh? List out what you think “fair” entails. Do it by order of magnitude. $1,000, $100,000, $1,000,000, $10,000,000, $100,000,000. Nor wealth from the stock market, actual paid income.
So you are obviously in a democracy and some small minority belief that no-one cares about. So I don’t get your point you don’t like USA and Germany because their majority doesn’t share your view and not even your own country doesn’t share your view. So basically your views are important to you but everyone else doesn’t care … does that sum up your life?
When people start hitting themselves I can say it’s stupid.
“When people start hitting themselves…. “
Then stop doing it !!
Bleat all you like about, you silly Socialist sheep.
And to prove my previous point, here comes LooserName.
Anyone to the right of socialism, is a Nazi. Despite the fact that the Nazi’s were socialist.
No, how about getting some political education? And the AFD (and their austrian counterpart FPO) always have trouble with their politicans commiting re-engagement – are they socialists now?
I can’t keep up with the rapid socialist rebranding. Best buds one year, evil nazis the next, all depending on the needs of the party at the moment.
I’m not so sure.
This fraud ranks pretty high with the Covid fraud.
COVID only lasted, what, five years? This green crap has been going on for nigh 50 years now.
COVID and the Global Warming frauds are largely the same game plan, just played out on different time scales. The predominant techniques used are fear based propaganda and the common outcome is increasing government power and reduced individual freedom.
They lied. We knew they were lying and they knew that we knew. The media amplified their lies, for their own greedy purposes. When great scientists called them out, they didn’t admit their lies; instead they doubled down. As trillions of dollars went in search of useful liars, great scientists were pilloried and their lives were destroyed, for telling the truth.
Anyone who thinks that the exposure of their lies by honest media will stop this bandwagon is going to be disappointed. Honest media is in short supply, but dishonest media is plentiful when so much easy cash is there. Trillions more dollars will be be handed out to the lying side and there will most likely never be a reckoning for the lying charlatans.
The Biggest Climate Change Fraud is the bastardization of the global temperature record by Michael Mann and Phil Jones.
Everything else followed from that Big Lie.
The Truth is we are not experiencing unprecedented heat today, as the Climate Alarmists led by Mann and Jones claim. Instead, the unmodified, written temperature record shows it was just as warm in the recent past as it is today, and therefore, CO2 has had no measurable effect on Earth’s temperatures.
Mann and Jones sought to erase the evidence of previous warm periods to make it appear that CO2 was overheating the Earth’s atmosphere. Unfortunately, their lies were, and still are, accepted by millions of people, which causes such people to do really counterproductive things in a vain effort to reduce CO2, when no such reduction has shown to be necessary.
Yes, this, no doubt, is the biggest science fraud in human history, which has caused untold misery for millions of innocent people.
Biggest lie = GHE.
No the biggest lie = “warmer climate is worse than The Little Ice Age climate.” Which is what they are saying when they use the “pre-industrial” canard.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” – George Orwell, 1984
Perhaps the biggest cost of all this is the opportunity cost of the truly staggering amount of money (which represents the crystalized productive efforts of humanity) that have been squandered on wild schemes that have no effect other than to destroy the infrastructure of their countries. Hundreds of trillions of dollars wasted, the inheritance of multiple entire generations of the entirety of Western civilization have been piled into a metaphorical heap and set ablaze.
The proponents of CAGW may eventually come around to reality, but they will always maintain that what they did was good, or at the very least not harmful. This is totally false. They lied and as a consequence set about squandering the accumulated efforts of all Western civilization.
Well the biggest fraud is The Big Lie – the ridiculous notion that a warmer climate is worse than a colder climate.
That’s not just wrong, it is opposite of reality. Once that stupid notion gets shit canned, what you’re left with is a claim that an improving climate somehow constitutes a “disaster.”
They love to talk about “pre-industrial” climate, because it carries with it a dishonest and deceitful inference – that the climate began warming *because of* the industrial revolution. But the warming of the climate from the depths of the Little Ice Age began nearly a century *before* the industrial revolution. And even the Eco-Fascist camp admits that “meaningful” human CO2 emissions didn’t start until after WWII, nearly a century after the industrial revolution, so there is essentially two centuries of NATURAL warming “in the books” before any SUPPOSED, and purely hypothetical, human “contribution” even gets its boots on.
They clamor about warming as if The Little Ice Age was a “norm,” or that it was a “good” climate, or that it was a “better” climatethan today’s climate. IT WAS NONE OF THESE. The Little Ice Age WAS a “climate crisis.” That climate with TODAY’S human population (EIGHT TIMES HIGHER) would be an unspeakable disaster.
And if, due to human ingenuity, we could manage to feed 8 billion under the Little Ice Age climate conditions, it would be thanks to COAL, OIL AND GAS!
How long will it take for the MSM to change their tune? Very slowly little snippets from the MSM that CC isn’t what they thought it would be are coming out but no real denial/reporting yet.
Death spiral to the root cause, bogus GHE.
Do you get your kool-aid from the same supplier LooserName uses?
Only radical political parties take radical fringe scenarios and run with it as policy.
Like IPCC scenario 8.5?
Yes
The largest ongoing fraud, arguably, is the “Big Bang,” the derogatory name given by its notable detractor, Sir Fred Hoyle, an English astronomer.
Society isn’t wasting Trillions of dollars over the Big Bang.
The Big Bang is a theory that has zero impact on anyone’s lives. It will change as more information is discovered.
You don’t mind the billions wasted on Dark Matter and Dark Energy? A bleak future in which the Universe continues to lose energy at an accelerating rate? Carl Sagan likened the “Big Bang” to the chicken-and-egg problem, not an invitation to a simulation.
Fire up all fossil fuel and nuclear generators, build new fossil fuel and nuclear generators, remove all wind and solar from the grid, get rid of all subsidies, tax preferences and mandates forcing us to use wind, solar and EVs.
That’s what sane people would do.
