Post from Truth Social

GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs. Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Aide-drafted policy attack post in Trump's voice, leveraging a real but narrow methodological critique of the RCP8.5 climate scenario to claim wholesale invalidation of climate science. Psychologically routine: grandiose epistemic positioning ('my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT'), splitting between deceiver-Democrats and truth-restorer self, and devaluation via pejorative ('Dumocrats,' 'bogus research,' 'GREEN NEW SCAM'). The narrative structure is a redemption-by-vindication arc — 15 years of deception finally exposed — with the protagonist cast as order/truth-restorer. No acute narcissistic injury or rage trigger; reads as maintenance content advancing a policy frame. No danger indicators, no dehumanization beyond standard political pejorative. Authorship signals (third-person sign-off, business-hours timing, RCP8.5 technical reference, polished syntax) point toward aide drafting with characteristic Trump stylistic overlay. The post is rhetorically significant for its cherry-pick-to-wholesale-falsification move and for elevating in-group epistemic claims as identity markers — a pattern consistent with epistemic closure dynamics.

Danger Assessment

None

Gaslighting Detected:
  • Reframes broad scientific consensus as a partisan 'scam'
  • Asserts sole custody of 'TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT' while denying mainstream scientific output
  • Uses scare quotes to delegitimize 'Climate Change' as a concept
Reality Distortions:
  • Extrapolating a narrow methodological critique of one scenario (RCP8.5) into wholesale invalidation of climate science
  • Framing climate science funding as inherently corrupt ('bogus research programs')
  • Self-positioning as the sole arbiter of scientific truth
Fact Checks (3)
"The UN 'TOP Climate Committee' (IPCC) just admitted RCP8.5 projections were WRONG"
Half True

There is a real underlying event being referenced, but the framing in the post significantly distorts it. What actually happened: In April 2026, the ScenarioMIP committee (Scenario Model Intercomparison Project) published a paper by Van Vuuren et al. in Geoscientific Model Development (April 7, 2026) introducing seven new scenarios for CMIP7, which will inform the IPCC's upcoming Seventh Assessment Report (AR7). The paper stated that 'the CMIP6 high emission levels (quantified by SSP5-8.5) have become implausible, based on trends in the costs of renewables, the emergence of climate policy and recent emission trends.' The new framework eliminates the extreme high-end scenarios — RCP8.5, SSP5-8.5, and SSP3-7.0 — replacing them with a 'HIGH' scenario reaching about 71 Gt CO2/yr by 2100 (versus SSP5-8.5's 128 Gt). Key distortions in the post: (1) ScenarioMIP is not the IPCC itself — it is a CMIP project whose scenarios feed into IPCC assessments. The IPCC has not issued a statement; the scenario-development community has updated its framework. (2) The scenarios were labeled 'implausible' going forward, not 'WRONG' in the past. The reasons cited (cheaper renewables, climate policy, observed emission trends) reflect that real-world conditions have changed since the scenarios were designed in 2011 — not that the underlying climate science or modeling math was incorrect. (3) RCP8.5 was already de-emphasized as 'business-as-usual' in IPCC AR6 (2021–2022); critiques by Hausfather and Peters date to 2020, and Pielke Jr. and others have argued against its use since 2017. This is a long-debated, gradual scientific refinement, not a sudden admission. (4) Even the new 'HIGH' scenario still projects roughly 2.5–3°C of warming by 2100 — alarming levels — so the update does not invalidate concerns about climate change. Conservative outlets (AEI, Daily Sceptic, ClimateDepot, Watts Up With That) have framed this as the IPCC admitting climate science was wrong; climate scientists (Chris Gloninger, Carbon Brief explainers) describe it as routine science updating models to reflect real-world conditions and call the broader framing 'second-generation climate denial.' The post's claim has a real factual kernel (high-end scenarios were retired as implausible by the body that develops IPCC scenarios) but mischaracterizes both the source (ScenarioMIP, not IPCC) and the meaning ('implausible due to changed conditions,' not 'WRONG' in a way that invalidates climate science).

"Democrats have spent 15 years claiming climate change 'is going to destroy the Planet'"
Half True

Some Democratic figures and climate advocates have used catastrophist framing; the specific 'destroy the Planet' phrasing is a rhetorical paraphrase rather than a uniform official position. Half-true as caricature.

"Federal climate research funding totals BILLIONS"
Mostly True

U.S. federal climate-related research across NOAA, NASA, DOE, NSF, EPA totals in the billions annually; the U.S. Global Change Research Program coordinates roughly $2–3 billion annually. The 'bogus' characterization is editorial.

Daily Digest Global ISIS-strike fanfare gives way to a daylong GOP loyalty purge centered on Massie, Boebert, and Paul

Trump opened in his local late evening announcing a successful U.S.-Nigerian military strike that killed an ISIS deputy commander, then woke to a morning of news links portraying him as a victim of past Biden-era investigations. The mood turned aggressive by mid-morning, with a sharp swipe at Senato...
