Collapse denial is alive and well

Article title: Climate group reverses course on doomsday predictions — and Trump takes victory lap: ‘WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!’
Quoting the American president, who suddenly likes science for a moment, it reads:
“For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs,” the president added on Truth Social.
“Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT!”
Followed the next day by an editorial in the same publication: Can we all get a refund? Now UN climate experts admit climate change won’t destroy Earth tomorrow

Articles, charts, or data-driven posts must include a source either within the image or in a submission statement.
Banned: DailyMail, Twitter/X
Preferably submit in-depth content (eg papers, articles) over short-form content (eg Bluesky, Mastadon) to avoid 'sound bites' and low effort content. All contents' authors must be 'credible' (eg recognized credentials, industry respect/history, well known science communicator)

It’s clear to everyone from thousands of miles away that the modus operandi is precisely to manufacture chaos that is bordering on collapse so they can then profit from it.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/itsatoe:
Submission statement: Very much about collapse as this is a mainstream publication getting absolutely ecstatic about how, as it says, the "Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had quietly adjusted its modeling framework of a 4–5°C warming by 2100 last month."
The article, and the president, therefore conclude that all climate action and all environmental action has been an enormous waste of money. Clearly there is no kind of collapse coming ever, as we can see from the raging major oil wars, the continual record-breaking temperatures, and... well, every other article in this sub.
Edit: from the article, explicitly about collapse:

NY Post. Enough said
Of course it won’t destroy the earth tomorrow, it’ll just make everyone’s lives fucking miserable until it does
