What Happened to the Climate Change Cult?

LA Times OPED: ‘The left’s climate panic is finally calming down’ – ‘Intensity of climate dread is weakening’ – ‘Elites…giving up on the climate catastrophism hoax’

Wash Post: Democrats ‘are going quiet on climate’ – It is now ‘the big issue Democrats have stopped talking about’
Wash Post: Since the beginning of 2025, according to data analyzed by The Washington Post, Democrats have pulled back from talking about climate change. At the same time, nations and companies have been whittling down their goals, pulling back from their most ambitious plans to lower carbon emissions — or going silent on the issue entirely. …
According to a Post analysis of social media posts, podcast appearances, and speeches, congressional Democrats’ mentions of “climate change” and “climate” have decreased from a peak in August 2022, when the party passed the Inflation Reduction Act. According to the analysis, 2025 has seen the fewest mentions of climate change since The Post started gathering data in March 2022. …
Philanthropy is also moving away from the issue. Last month Bill Gates published a blog post arguing that the “doomsday view” of climate change is misleading — at least for those in developed, rich countries.

Companies are pulling back as well.

Amazon, which once promised to make half of its deliveries carbon-free by 2030, has shelved that goal. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Post.) Shell similarly canceled a plan to decrease the carbon intensity of its operations.

More compromises on climate policies may be coming,
The party has retreated on a cap on oil industry profits and clean fuel mandates, seemingly spooked by the potential for higher fuel prices if refineries close. And Newsom’s administration has tried to keep open one key refinery in Northern California. …
Newsom faces grumbling at home about how California’s Democratic leaders are standing up for the environment — or not. The party has retreated on a cap on oil industry profits and clean fuel mandates, seemingly spooked by the potential for higher fuel prices if refineries close. And Newsom’s administration has tried to keep open one key refinery in Northern California. …
