hard to predict for anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty. It didn\u2019t take a fancy research title or an advanced degree. The writing was carved deep into the stone of energy reality, which no press release, no activist lobby and no billionaire-backed foundation could erase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most nations \u2013 particularly those early in building their futures \u2013 offered only empty nods to climate targets. Their participation was a transparent quest for political leverage. The climate crusade survived by hijacking the political class, manipulating data through compliant scientists, and converting media empires into megaphones of fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bill Gates stepped away from the frontlines of climate alarmism in a recent essay timed for the United Nations\u2019 COP30, an annual gathering of jet-setting moralists. Gates admits \u2013 as supported by the recent U.S. Department of Energy report on carbon dioxide \u2013 that the world will not collapse because of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has called for a shift in focus to more immediate needs. Gates says that \u201cwe will still rely on fossil fuels for decades,\u201d that \u201cno single technology can decarbonize the global economy,\u201d and that \u201cthe pace of change will be slow.\u201d He\u2019s reacting to the wreckage of ideology from its collision with the laws of physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent New York election campaigns, some of the Green New Deal\u2019s most famous apostles, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, saw their climate gospel sidelined, no longer commanding the stage. Voters heard more about housing, jobs, and public safety than decarbonization, offshore wind or carbon credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are signposts of a larger movement underway, both in the United States and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the U.K.\u2019s North Sea and off the U.S. East Coast, massive wind projects are being canceled. Green steel is struggling to compete with fossil fuel-based conventional steel. Oil companies, after spending years and billions of dollars on \u201cgreen\u201d branding and virtue signaling, are quietly backtracking on ambitious climate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, Argentina shocked global institutions by withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. President Javier Milei declared that his nation would no longer \u201ckneel before climate bureaucrats.\u201d China continues its rapid construction of coal-fired power plants, adding more coal capacity than the rest of the world combined. India\u2019s coal consumption is at an all-time high, and the government is aggressively auctioning new blocks of coal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing economies in Asia and South America know survival requires coal, oil and natural gas. African leaders seek to tap their continent\u2019s reserves of hydrocarbons to power economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fragile structure of global decarbonization depended on financing from its chief patron, the United States. When that flow of dollars ceased with the incoming Trump administration, the fading of an already decrepit climate narrative accelerated. What remains now is to utterly unmask the 21st century\u2019s most malignant fraud and to educate a generation propagandized in public schools and woke universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth has emerged bit by bit. We were told that wildfires were unprecedented, yet historical data show fire frequency has declined globally. We were told the Arctic would be ice-free, yet it remains frozen. We were told of a \u201cclimate-driven\u201d food crisis, while the mild warming and increased CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;\u2013 a vital plant food \u2013 have contributed to global greening and record crop harvests. The food supply is more secure, not less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gap between alarmist predictions and observed reality is no longer possible to hide. Scientists deliberately misled the public with cherry-picked data, tortured computer models until they produced the \u201ccorrect\u201d scary result and labeled any natural weather event as \u201cproof\u201d of climate change. What masqueraded as \u201cconsensus\u201d was nothing more than a cartel of profiteers feeding on public guilt and taxpayer money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was not good-faith scientific inquiry but rather a narrative designed to frighten, to control consumer choices and to justify a massive political and economic reorganization. Much of the public, sensing this dishonesty, no longer listens. The authority of the climate \u201cexperts\u201d has been damaged, perhaps irrevocably. Their incessant cries of \u201cwolf\u201d failed to produce the climate beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The climate cult declared war on the very engines that lifted humanity from hunger and hardship. Its legacy is economic vandalism and moral decay. The spell is breaking, and what\u2019s emerging from the rubble is not despair, but liberation \u2014 a long-awaited return of reason to a world held hostage by fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This commentary was first published by&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/energy-environment\/5630192-the-climate-cults-dissolution-is-inevitable\/\">The Hill<\/a>&nbsp;<\/em>on December 9, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Vijay Jayaraj is a Science and Research Associate at the&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/co2coalition.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;Coalition<\/em><\/a><em>, Fairfax, Virginia.
