A global network of critical scientists and engineers: There is no climate emergency
A global network of critical scientists and engineers (CLINTEL) has prepared a simple message: “There is no climate emergency.”
Yes, climate change exists and cannot be ignored, but CLINTEL emphasises that there is NO cause for panic and NO cause for alarm.
The past 150 years show that affordable and reliable energy are key to producing the basic needs for all, such as food, health, sanitation, housing, electricity, and education. The past 150 years also show that more CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth, and increasing the crop yields. Why do political leaders ignore these hard facts? Why do political leaders do the opposite with their ‘Great Reset’ and lower the quality of life by forcing high-cost, dubious ‘low-carbon’ energy technologies upon their citizens? To get it their way, fear is used but history shows that fear has never led to sensible policies.
[This happens because our governments have been infiltrated by globalist traitors to humanity, the likes of psychopath Klaus Schwab of the looney WEF and his pathetic extremist followers. Ardern is one of his "graduates" and is, not doubt, following their one-world-government and "kill off 90% of humanity" agendas, disguised as the "Great Reset"]
The CLINTEL scientists strongly oppose the misleading, unrealistic, and destructive global net-zero CO2-policy (‘NetZero’). Instead, they promote climate adaptation policies that show a high benefit-cost ratio. Above all, they promote nuclear power, the energy source of the future.
It is encouraging that the number of signatories grew without any acquisition activities. It is also encouraging that the list contains high-quality signatories (including Nobel Laureate professor Ivar Giaever), who are very well-informed on the climate subject. Many are still active in climate and energy research. Today, we are honoured to welcome David Siegel as the 1000st signatory. David is an inspiring entrepreneur who has been following the climate issue for a long time. He recently put online a very interesting 40-minute presentation presenting his current view on climate change. For this presentation he used a lot of input from the international Clintel network. We will interview David Siegel in a separate article.
Conclusion
In conclusion, CO2 budgets are not based on science, but they are based on fear. They destroy the energy system, limit human rights, feed extremism and push mankind into a deep physical, mental, and financial crisis. It is clear that citizens throughout the world don’t want to become poor and, above all, they don’t want to live in a culture of fear. The World Climate Declaration (WCD) has brought a large variety of international scientists and engineers together to combine forces. The considerable knowledge and experience of this growing group is an invaluable asset in fighting successfully against the rich Great Reset elites.
There is no climate emergency
A global network of 900 scientists and professionals has prepared this urgent message. Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.
Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming
The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.
Warming is far slower than predicted
The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.
Climate policy relies on inadequate models
Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2. In addition, they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
Global warming has not increased natural disasters
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly.
Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities
There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt. The aim of global policy should be ‘prosperity for all’ by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society men and women are well educated, birthrates are low and people care about their environment.
