The media is in full meltdown over the supposed "death" of the Paris Agreement. The recent revelation that Earth has spent 12 consecutive months above the 1.5°C threshold has sent climate activists into a frenzy. Yet, for all the hand-wringing, there’s a glaring absence of actual catastrophe. No climate refugees in the billions, no apocalyptic disasters, no economic collapse. Just the same tired talking points about global average temperature.

Two recent papers, one published in Nature Climate Change and another in Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development, attempt to explain the non-catastrophic breach of 1.5°C. Instead of questioning the threshold’s validity, they double down, reinforcing the alarmist narrative without presenting a shred of real-world evidence.

Paper #1, "Twelve Months at 1.5°C Signals Earlier than Expected Breach of Paris Agreement Threshold" (Nature Climate Change, 2025), declares that we’ve officially "breached" the Paris threshold but provides no empirical evidence of disaster—just models and projections. If 1.5°C was the true tipping point, we should see irreversible changes, yet nothing has happened.

Paper #2, "Global Warming Has Accelerated: Are the United Nations and the Public Well-Informed?" (Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development, 2025), takes a different approach. Instead of addressing the lack of catastrophic consequences, it focuses on public perception, arguing that climate warnings aren’t working because the public isn’t scared enough. Their solution? Shift the messaging to maintain fear. This isn’t science; it’s propaganda.

Meanwhile, the media breathlessly pushes the "hottest year ever" narrative, ignoring the fact that their past doomsday predictions never came true.
