Meanwhile, Statistician William Briggs has crunched the numbers and shows we have reached “peak climate change”.

Last week, I reported that CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, appeared with anchor John Berman this week to examine the political implications of “global warming” following the fake news reports that July was the hottest month ever recorded in this country.
Despite decades of relentless messaging and narrative-pushing, Enten reports that just 3% of voters list climate change as a top midterm concern, far behind the economy and immigration.
Clearly, the market for climate fear is collapsing. So desperate climate crisis cultists have turned to OnlyFans for ‘sexy’ messaging, hoping people ignore climate facts by being distracted by the…novel presentation.
Climate change has a PR problem.
For years, environmental messaging has sometimes felt preachy: buy less, fly less, eat less meat, recycle more. Important advice, certainly, but in an age of endless scrolling, even the biggest story on Earth can struggle to hold our attention.
So what if the answer is sex?
That is the thinking behind Headline Newds, a new online climate series featuring OnlyFans creators, using their enormous audiences to talk about everything from Big Oil and microplastics to solar panels and carbon footprints.
… Among them is Lily Phillips, an OnlyFans star with more than two million followers and linked to superstar Drake.
I would argue that this approach is evidence that the “global warming” crisis has completely played out its usefulness.
And there is even more data to back my assertion. Statistician William Briggs has crunched the numbers and shows via the steep decline in paper references that “we have passed peak climate change”.

Interestingly, Briggs mentions tests in his analysis for the collapse in these numbers.
The biggest reason, I say, is that the teats have been squeezed dry. There is nothing left. It’s all on repeat. Every possible aspect of “climate change” has been “researched” and there is very little new to say. Most new papers are now like Hollywood reboots.
You and I have already seen that every single subject in every single field has at least one peer-reviewed paper arguing that “climate change” will be bad for that thing if the thing is good, or good for the thing if the thing is bad. This is logically possible, but it is great nonsense.
We have also seen that every area of earth is warming at least twice as fast as every area of earth. This is not logically possible, and is also great nonsense.
Briggs’ analysis is certainly heartening. I would argue that the sudden collapse in 2020 also reflects the public’s growing distrust of information presented as The Science™.
Finally, as appealing as OnlyFans spokespeople may be, data has the final word in real science.
Climate change promoters have long emphasized environmental harms associated with fossil fuels. But the broader record is more complex and newer research indicates that nitrogen deposition from hydrocarbon combustion has contributed to increased plant productivity and the greening of substantial areas of the planet.
And because climate crisis advocates no longer control the social-media conversation, reports presenting these findings have a better chance of reaching and being read by the public.
A 2026 global analysis published in Ecography examined increased vegetative greening across major ecosystems and found that one of the strongest statistical links was nitrogen deposition, greater even than changes in climate and land use. NASA’s own Earth science material lists the second-largest driver of greening as nitrogen, accounting for 9% of the effect. Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide, also from the use of fossil fuels, accounts for 70% of greening, according to NASA.
So after years of apocalyptic headlines, the climate messaging machine has apparently arrived at its final marketing strategy…less science, more clickbait.
Meanwhile, the inconvenient data keep intruding, including numbers that show a greener planet and a public far more concerned with paying bills and securing the border than rehearsing another round of climate panic.
I can’t wait to see what the next catastrophe that alarmists in government, the media, and academia decide to sell is. This one seems…played out.
