Not only did none of the models fail to predict the actual warming that we have experienced, but the claims about renewables are completely disingenuous if not outright lies. The only demand destruction ever witnessed for carbon based fuels was due to work from home during COVID. Current consumption levels exceed pre-covid levels and continue to grow. Yes renewable use is growing, but it is additional power consumption, not replacement. We will be pumping negative eroi oil out of the ground with solar powered pumps at some point. Have to burn all of the carbon.
