A claim circulating online argues that the climate crisis agenda was built on RCP8.5, a high-emissions global warming projection first introduced in 2011 to guide policy, and that this scenario is now widely recognised as implausible. The post asserts the Earth is not facing runaway warming. Critics of this view note RCP8.5 was always a worst-case pathway rather than a prediction, and mainstream climate scientists continue to treat it as a legitimate planning tool.
