Gianluca Alimonti discusses three “climate matrix” papers: a 2022 review of extreme weather time series and response indicators that found no clear worsening trends (later retracted, which he argues lacked specific scientific grounds and reflected political pressure); a 2023 analysis of EM-DAT natural-disaster records concluding the post-1970 rise is largely improved reporting, with trends stable since about 2000 and disaster deaths decreasing; and a recent framework proposing 43 IPCC-aligned impact-driver and response indicators to assess “climate crisis,” finding most show no worsening, many improve, and few worsen. He criticizes media/official claims of rapidly rising disasters and emphasizes adaptation and prevention.

Nicola Scafetta discusses his book, "The Frontier of Climate Science," a review based on about 650 peer‑reviewed papers arguing that IPCC global climate models have serious limitations because they fail to capture multi‑scale natural variability (oceanic, solar, astronomical, and tidal cycles). He says model claims that nearly all warming since 1850 is anthropogenic are not experimentally validated, climate sensitivity remains highly uncertain, and many models run too hot, with possible surface-record warm bias from urban heat islands. He cites past warm periods and correlations between climate and solar/cosmic-ray proxies, proposes empirical/semi‑empirical cycle-based modeling, and concludes warming risk is moderate, SSP2 could meet Paris targets, net zero is unnecessary, and adaptation should be prioritized.

Anika Sweetland argues the IPCC was created through politics, funding, and elite influence, tracing its origins to the 1985 Villach Conference and alleging it advances centralized global governance. She says media-driven fear shifted from 1970s “ice age” stories to 1988 “global warming,” citing sea-level warnings that did not occur. Sweetland claims climate finance and clean-energy investment incentives benefit IPCC-linked officials. She highlights Climategate emails as evidence of strategic data presentation (“hide the decline”), message management, and peer-review gatekeeping (“PAL review”), plus an alleged journal blacklist. She says her climate studies education omitted Climategate, emphasized policy “solutions,” and discouraged debate.

Liam DeBoer describes his Substack blending philosophy, psychology, culture, politics, and history, and argues in “Your Ruling Class Is Not Secular” that modern materialist elites still express religious impulses by mapping “soul,” apocalypse, and salvation narratives onto gender ideology, climate change, and revolutionary politics. He discusses Orwell’s 1984 as a psychological study of totalitarianism reshaping perception, and links current activism to young women, noting polling showing young women moving left and widening dating/marriage mismatches. He predicts widening Western factional conflict, references the “fourth turning,” and explains Nietzsche’s ressentiment and victimhood. He outlines “daycare governance” in a feminized institutional culture and summarizes “political ponerology” archetypes behind authoritarianism. He details Canada’s “Vancouver model” money laundering tied to triads, casinos, and politics, and discusses censorship, platform throttling, and Zuckerberg’s motives.

Ken Jensen describes his background in environmental toxicology and medical devices, then argues morality can be grounded without religion. He traces a “true, good, beautiful” triad from Plato through Vitruvius and maps it to objective reality, reciprocity/voluntary exchange, and beauty/grace, contrasting it with a destructive “DOI” (destruction, opposition, inversion) force. He critiques management tactics like permanent crisis, “red dot” diversions, and misuse of Romans 13, citing Katrina clergy response teams. He promotes a “dartboard” model over left-right politics, says ethics and morality are inseparable (Nuremberg vs Nazi view), warns about EU-style centralization, CBDCs, and praises ridicule as a defense. He discusses sound money and presents his books The Enemies of Reason and The Memo.
