As we begin 2026, let’s recall the predictions of environmental doom that never came true. People like Al Gore have been telling us for years that the ice caps would be all gone by now, and that billions of humans will, by now, have already died from “climate change” disasters. They were all wrong.

The great thing about doomsday predictions is they make it easier to totally ignore natural rights, natural law, and all limitations on the state.

Ryan McMaken, Editor-in-Chief
