Climate Scientist Admits His Study Was Wrong
Every so often, someone inside the climate movement admits what the rest of us have long known: the apocalypse never came.
This week, Ted Nordhaus, founder of the Breakthrough Institute and once a leading voice in climate alarmism, wrote a remarkable essay titled “I Thought Climate Change Would End the World. I Was Wrong.” In it, he concedes that the catastrophe he once predicted was built on bad models, false assumptions, and ideological momentum.
“I no longer believe this hyperbole,” Nordhaus writes. “The amount of warming that is conceivable even in plausible worst-case scenarios is not remotely consistent with the sorts of catastrophic outcomes that I once believed in.”
For years, Nordhaus believed “business as usual” emissions would cause five degrees of warming by 2100. That prediction, he now admits, never made sense. The supposed “worst case” is now closer to three degrees, according to him, and even that, he says, is unlikely to spell disaster.
