For decades, top scientists said climate change threatened civilization. But the data never showed that. And now, the evidence is overwhelming that scientists and the media deliberately misled the public on fires, ice, food, floods, heat, islands, coral, sea level, & hurricanes.

For years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, has claimed that human-caused climate change has accelerated sea level rise.

But that claim is false. There is no scientific evidence of accelerated sea level rise since the mid-19th Century, and thus none

Scientists for years said they had proof that climate change was accelerating sea level rise. But that's not what the evidence shows. They knew the truth and misled the public. And now I have a long email exchange with a top scientist that shows how they did it. Massive scandal.

The statement and accompanying images engage in public discourse by challenging the scientific consensus on climate change and accusing scientists and media of deliberate misinformation. The tone is accusatory and suggests a conspiracy, which can polarize public opinion.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement may cause harm by spreading misinformation or undermining trust in scientific institutions. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It does not respect the dignity of scientists by accusing them of deliberate deceit without presenting evidence in this context. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it frames the issue as a scandal rather than encouraging constructive dialogue. [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement lacks constructive criticism and engages in personal attacks on scientists and media. [-2]
