This Learn Liberty article argues that decades of climate doomsday predictions have not come true, and that the policy response has become more about control than results. It traces failed forecasts from the 1970s cooling scare through more recent deadlines like Al Gore's 2006 point of no return by 2016 and AOC's 12 years warning. Rather than more restrictions, the authors make the case for energy abundance driven by profit-seeking and innovation, with nuclear power as the clearest test. They also point to the high cost of policies like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and Biden's Inflation Reduction Act subsidies. Readers interested in carbon markets and climate policy will find this a useful counterweight to mainstream narratives. It does not engage with current IPCC projections in depth, so treat the historical examples as part of a broader argument rather than a full climate science review.
