The author advocates for developing countries to reject thes inaccurate forecasts, which have driven harmful policies. Recent actions, such as the U.S. White House opening a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-canvassers-rescind-their-votes-to-certify-wayne-county-michigan-results\/\" title=\"Republican Canvassers Rescind Their Votes to Certify Wayne County, Michigan, Results\">public comment period<\/a> on amending the Fifth National Climate Assessment, aim to prevent federal agencies from basing decisions on unrealistic UN climate scenarios. The article emphasizes that the most extreme UN predictions lack scientific basis and are based on modeling exercises with no foundation in reality. It also criticizes international trade measures like the EU\u2019s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which are based on these dubious forecasts and have adversely affected developing countries, especially in Africa and Asia.These measures have led to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/masters-gets-more-support-after-mcconnell-dumps-opportunity-to-help-pick-up-arizona-senate-seat\/\" title=\"Masters Gets More Support After McConnell Dumps Opportunity To Help Pick Up Arizona Senate Seat\">canceled energy projects<\/a> and hindered efforts to improve energy access in impoverished regions. The author urges countries to rewriting their energy policies to prioritize their citizens over the failed climate narrative, emphasizing that clinging to these flawed predictions prolongs poverty and impedes economic progress.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For two decades, the poorest half of humanity had its energy choices dictated by computer-generated climate predictions now considered to be implausible by the people who made them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing countries that are home to the impoverished should be following U.S. actions to abandon these flawed forecasts, which have driven destructive climate policies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In August, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2026\/08\/25\/2026-17289\/united-states-global-change-research-program-availability-for-public-comment-on-the-proposed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r01\/___https:\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2026\/08\/25\/2026-17289\/united-states-global-change-research-program-availability-for-public-comment-on-the-proposed___.YXAzOmNyY2E6YzpvZmZpY2UzNjVfZW1haWxzX2F0dGFjaG1lbnQ6MmM4ZDU5MGVlZjEwMTA5ODkwZGVmYzkxMTE2N2ZlNmQ6NzpmNTE0OjNiNDc1ZTFlMGIyNTk5YWQ0MzBkYWEzMjM0NjhkNjNmZWJhNGFjMDJhMzI2ZjNiNGU4NzQyOWY1YzY0ZTYwNDM6cDpUOkY&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1789691701059000&#038;usg=AOvVaw15V4eA6RPYGGjTTVjwxLfi\"><u>opened a public comment period<\/u><\/a>  on a proposed amendment to the country\u2019s Fifth National Climate Assessment, a congressionally mandated report that steers American regulation, research funding, and infrastructure budgets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amendment would tell federal agencies that the United Nations\u2019 unrealistic predictions of dangerous global warming from the industrial emissions of carbon dioxide can no longer be used as a reasonable basis for policy development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the U.N.\u2019s own reckoning, its most extreme predictions of warming were never based on science.
