The Heartland Institute 
The media and climate activists insist that the world is on the brink of catastrophe if global temperatures exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. But where did this “tipping point” come from? In this video, Linnea Lueken breaks down the origins of this claim and exposes its shaky scientific foundation. The idea wasn’t the result of rigorous climate research—it was a political decision, largely shaped by a German advisory board in the 1990s, not by climate scientists.
In reality, historical data show that the Earth has already warmed past this threshold in some regions without triggering the apocalyptic scenarios often predicted. In fact, life expectancy, economic growth, and agricultural production have all improved in recent decades. So why does the media keep pushing this narrative? Watch now to uncover the truth about the so-called climate tipping point.

Warming is good and plants love CO2.
Climate change is a scam ❤❤❤
This 1.5 degrees tipping point is equivalent to the 6-ft/1.5m spacing dictate during COVID — the same "firm basis in science".
More people need to hear this.
You folks hide my comments here, I know that. But I still write them so you folks can read them.
Do yourselves a favor, contact Dane Wigington and have an open minded discussion with him, you'll learn a lot!!
We need to get rid of liberal progressive policies .
Great fact check. I hate how so many people use "trust the science" as a term, this just goes to show how real science works.
Darned facts and data! How are we going to fund our endless "research" if you keep this up?! 🤣
Te 'climate crisis' is by far the biggest scam in my lifetime (born 1953).
Fact check? The climate change acolytes have no use for facts, they are grifting hucksters. P.T. Barnum would be proud!
Here's a better question: Where is there any evidence that there is a "runaway greenhouse effect" anywhere? Because the Earth has a self-regulating climate, the idea is ludicrous.
Climet Change is Political only. I know it thanks
thank you.
Tipping points are narratives for ignorant people! There were many occasions where not, 1.5C but +10C s were sustained for millennia throughout the planet's history.
Just read an article today that we are on our way back to an Ice Age. Who would have guessed?
The number one threat to climate change is a sun burst . You have no control over the sun , there theory that is what caused the younger dryess
This reporting on the arbitrary "1.5" number reminds me of the more recent "6 foot separation" number… equally arbitrary. Both demonstrate the willingness of our "authorities" to just make $hit up in order to exert control and influence.
Thank you Linnea and The Heartland Institute.
PLEASE STOP THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!!
A 1.5 degree C tipping point could not apply to climate as Earth's climate is an extremely nonlinear system. It's like using a linear equation to solve for a nonlinear problem.
Climate change is all about money, power, control.
Thank you for another snippet of fact and sanity.
The Climate fraud/hoax ends now!
Linnea is amazing and so is the Hartlands Institute.
Keep up the good work.
John Kerry wouldn’t lie— he’s virtuous and a Genius. The WEF billionaires and Corporate members have our welfare at heart.
Also Pelosi and Schumer and their Donors who donate, I mean Bribe them.
Global Cooling much more horrific, wrt food production. Under 180 CO2 ppm, photosynthesis ceases.
We need a 'Boogieman' to distract us from the harm the global corporations like Blackrock, Cargill, the Banks, the WEF, George Soros and Bill Gates are doing to us. It used to be the 'Commies', Russians were a great 'bad guy' but the Chinese have failed to step up to the plate!
I just became aware that YouTube demonitized this channel so in an attempt to support the truth and fight those who suppress it I've just subscribed to this channel. Thank you all for shining the beacon of sanity.
Based on this Youtube should get rid of it United Nations climate change propaganda
As a German I can only say: I'm sorry.
The entire green deal and activism is all based on lies that the increase in temps is causing severe adverse effects on our climate. The facts seem to point to very little difference in effects based on the slight rise in temps! Plus, what you never hear from these activists is the fact that a large majority of deaths from climate are from cold temps not warm temps!
Och those damned Germans, those Krauts yet again! Such fanatics and loonies. Always causing trouble. They are also behind this new insane Europenis non Union legislation to destroy freedom of speech and expression and are going around just like their Gestapo parents and grandparents terrorising and criminalising anyone who writes any opinion which they don´t like or criticizes any of their globalist and communist politicians and policies!!!
Climate change is just another term for unilateral disarmament by the Western World because the rules do not seem to apply elsewhere on the globe.
I'm very skeptical about any (real) significant average temperature increases, never mind the "2 degrees" you refer to here, in part, for reasons cited here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7UtJjOkKCM&t=28s
I.e. location of recording Stn sensors, increasing growth and numbers of heat islands (the "heat island effect"), suspect agenda driven sensor tampering ("calibration maintenance") and outright data tampering, which more than one respected 'climate crisis denier' has exposed. E.g. Tony Hellier
Thanks "just the same."
1.5 deg is nothing.
The western world has been sucked right in . .
Change is the norm!! Obviously, when was this forgotten? Oh wait, it wasn't. A lot of money was to be made by unscrupulous people for promoting lies.
I’m pretty sure my cousins living just north of Winnipeg Manitoba would be pretty happy to experience a 1.5C temperature increase today.
it saddens me how much resources we're "wasting" on disproving bad theories like AGW. we could solve the most impossible problems if we weren't led evil / dumb leaders
– We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago –
The cause of climate change is that the Earth is in travel to the deep past since May 10, 2010.
Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the Earth.
Today March 19, 2025 our Earth is at the point 5 million and 427 thousand years in the past.
On October 13, 2026 our Earth will be at the point 6 million years in the past.
On September 25, 2037 our Earth will be at the point 10 million years in the past.
You are wrong.
A "tipping point" simply means some kind of temporary or permanent change. The climate movement wants everyone to automatically interpret this change as a catastrophe. It isn't.
Excellent news from an excellent channel. BUT please lose the very annoying, unnecessary background music. Your content and delivery are good enough. I'm sure most of us can concentrate for 2-3 mins without it.
