Let's be precise about what you got right, and what you're trying to get away with.
Yes, RCP8.5 has been officially retired. The van Vuuren et al. 2026 paper declared it implausible -- citing falling renewable costs, emerging climate policy, and actual emissions trends. That's real. Nobody serious disputes it.
But you know what else is real? The criticism of RCP8.5 came from
inside climate science, years before this retirement. Hausfather and Peters published exactly that argument in
Nature in 2020. Scientists policing their own methodology. That's not a scam being exposed -- that's a scam narrative collapsing on contact with how science actually works.
And Roger Pielke Jr. -- your star witness -- accepts that warming is real, human-caused, and dangerous. He spent years attacking the
misuse of RCP8.5, not climate science itself. Deploying him against the thing he doesn't actually oppose isn't argument. It's theft.
Here's what you're quietly hoping nobody notices: RCP8.5 was never the consensus prediction. It was a worst-case boundary condition -- around the 90th percentile of the scenario range. Misrepresenting it as "business as usual" was a failure of science communication, not a conspiracy.
The new scenarios that replaced it still project roughly 3°C of warming under current policies. At 3°C, large parts of South Asia and the Middle East become periodically uninhabitable. Coastlines commit to multi-meter sea level rise. Agriculture destabilizes across multiple continents simultaneously. That's what "less bad than RCP8.5" actually looks like.
Retiring a flawed scenario is what honest science looks like. You've mistaken the correction for the crime.

Are you f****** kidding me with that b*******?You f****** romper room retard
you sound like a f****** 8-year-old a child an idiot child
Your sources have no credibility Whatsoever
theyve been lying for decades
I would go back a page and look and read the article about the damage done.And the b******* spread on purpose.
So what you're saying is that we were right all along . That's what you're saying.
Since we believe in real science, objective science....
And since the left kept insisting that the science was settled, you can't unsettle settled science....But now you're saying it's not settled, was it settled?Or it's not settled, it wasn't settled.It was b*******
For decades, you've been screaming at the top of your f****** lungs.
Scaring children wasting billions upon billions upon billions
Just like that
Settled ....to not settled
You can't have it both ways you blowhard who you trying to convince ?yourself?
Rotflmao
Dance around it all you want.The settled science is unsettled, just like that
Do you have a college college degree ?piss on it...
Your daddy wasted his money
They're so ignorant
They're so stupid
You're probably a democratic socialist aren't you?
You believe you're smart enough to understand
You believe your credentialed experts will lead you to utopia
Like a green utopia
Socialists have the worst environmental records of all time
Just like their body counts that range into the hundreds of millions.
Hitler mao stalin pol pot Castro
When it comes to destroying the environment, nobody does it better than a backwards useful idiot socialist
History is my proof
The leftards are ignorant.They live in fantasy land
why you even on my thread? spewing complete and utter meaningless b*******
Was the science settled?The science was settled.Your experts said it was settled.You believed like a f****** moron that you are
They're pathetic,
Sad and pathetic
Is there any wonder why they're all antidepressant Swilling retards
