Let’s Apply Covid Scepticism to Climate Change
From fake alarmism to flawed models, the two ‘crises’ of Covid and climate change have much in common, writes former UN Assistant Secretary-General Ramesh Thakur.

Whisper it quietly, but Arctic ice is making a comeback. The coverage is now very close to the 1991-2020 average, well above a 2012 low point and higher than 2020. No sign of an alarmist catastrophe here.
It's been discovered that the Met Office global surface temperature record from 1975 was boosted over 14% at the end of 2020. At the same time, the period between 1880-1975 was cooled, increasing the apparent warming.
The latest IPCC climate report continues its extreme alarmism, claiming lifestyles and diets must change urgently to avert catastrophe. But actual scientists among the authors are thin on the ground.
Last year, the Met Office classified three days of 25°C Cornish sunshine as a “heatwave”, claiming the move was necessary since such “extreme events” were more likely because of climate change.
Much of the media breathlessly reported "unprecedented heatwaves" at both of Earth's poles last week and another mass coral bleaching at the Great Barrier Reef. But dig down and you find the truth is very different.
Always keen to stay one step ahead of the English, Nicola Sturgeon has set the Scottish Net Zero target at 2045, five years ahead of England's. But her catastrophism is based on make-believe data.
No matter what climate change scares have been debunked, the movement goes from strength to strength – resembling religious movements where disappointment leads to greater fervour. But will it eventually collapse?
Welcome to the latest IPCC report, painting its usual grim picture of ecological and societal disaster, and claiming to provide “scientific evidence” for its key findings. But how many scientists were actually involved?
The latest satellite temperature data for February show no movement from the 30-year average. The news is further evidence that global temperatures started to run out of steam nearly two decades ago.
