Worry about the intellectual climate, not climate change

As a work of science, the new “Code Red” climate report from the United Nations is a complete and utter fraud.
The report’s alarmist message is that we are running out of time to control emissions. And if we don’t get serious about cutting them, we will fail to meet the Paris climate accord’s goal, keeping the increase in average global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius to 2 degrees Celsius, 10 years earlier than previously predicted.
So let’s start there.
Neither temperature goal is based on any sort of scientific analysis. If you don’t believe me, maybe you’ll believe the 2009 "Climategate" emails in which University of East Anglia climate scientists Phil Jones admitted the targets were “plucked out of thin air .”
