FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WIMBERLEY, TX — June 24, 2026 — The American Energy Institute launched They-Knew.com, a comprehensive public record documenting the systematic misuse of RCP8.5, the extreme climate scenario that powered nearly every alarming headline, regulation, court filing, and school curriculum on climate change for over a decade — and that the UN’s own scenario committee officially declared “implausible” in April 2026.
The site chronicles one of the most consequential scientific integrity failures of the century: scientists flagged RCP8.5 as unrealistic as early as 2017, published those warnings in the world’s most prestigious journals, and watched as governments, central banks, courts, educators, and advocacy organizations kept using it anyway.
