UMVA has learned that former President Donald Trump has fired back at Democratic climate policies after scientists abandoned the most extreme warming scenario.
Trump unleashed a barrage of criticism on his social media platform, accusing Democrats of weaponizing climate fears to justify costly energy mandates and massive spending. He vowed that his administration would rely on truth, science, and facts instead of alarmism.
For fifteen years, the world’s leading climate models warned of a grim future: soaring temperatures, relentless sea‑level rise, and the collapse of global food systems. That worst‑case scenario, once the benchmark for policy, has now been set aside by researchers.
Scientists say the extreme projections no longer fit the trajectory of renewable growth, policy shifts, and emission trends. They argue that future scenarios must span a narrower range, from lower emissions to still‑possible high warming.
Trump seized on the change, labeling it a con and a betrayal of the public’s trust. He warned that the climate narrative had become a tool for political gain.
