Climate Majority Project: Scientists “Freaking Out”

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- September 2, 2026

“Say ‘enough’ to the United Nations/IPCC/COP process. Call off the CO2 fests. Shift from mitigation (fail) to adaptation. Demote government, promote realism and civil society. And practice social justice with the new imperative: First, do no harm. That starts and ends with energy prices–no climate premium please.”

The Climate Majority Project (CMP) is predicated on a shaky premise:

Most people sense that the planet is in deep trouble and want to do something. Welcome to the climate majority.

Climate majority? Only from polls where responders can claim to worry without having to pay for climate action–and not be told that their collective actions will not affect local or global climate for decades, if ever. The pollsters might as well ask: “Do you want more or less extreme weather?” … “Do you want more or less safety?”…

Adapt, Europe (stop whining)

“Crank up the cooling.” (WSJ, below)

It is adaptation time. Mitigation has failed, and no policy change, however radical, can affect global or regional climate for decades, if ever. As stated in a recent article in the New York Times:

Climate change means that the issue is most likely here to stay. Across Europe, “we think the summers are hot now,” said Joan Ballester Claramunt, a research professor at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health who focuses on climate change and health. “The future that we’re seeing, it could be much worse.”

So why didn’t the alarmist community push for A/C and other appliances to cool the air during the summer peak? They warned about ‘hothouse Earth’ but did nothing about it.

Did climate mitigation policy work against adaptation directly and indirectly?…

“We Don’t Have Time” (climate pity party)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- August 27, 2026

“The fatal conceit of ‘experts’ and ‘planners’ is promoting coercive social policy based on incomplete or wrong knowledge that the perpetrator thinks is God-like given and true. Ingmar Rentzhog is a danger, not prophet, in this regard.”

The Swedish website We Don’t Have Time declares itself to be “The World’s Largest Media Platform for Climate Action.” It is added: “We are democratizing knowledge about climate solutions to inspire and mobilize global action toward a prosperous, fossil-free future.”

A “prosperous, fossil-free future”? What is this group about? Start with the CEO and founder, Ingmar Rentzhog, who recently posted a sad plea, “The Biggest Lie Ever Told Is Only Four Words Long (August 20, 2026).

After ten years, he began, “I mostly feel exhausted.”

I have spent ten years inside the climate crisis, more or less around the clock.
