A coalition of 1,609 scientists from around the world have signed a
declaration stating there is no climate emergency and that they
strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy being
pushed across the globe. The declaration itself does not demonize
carbon monoxide and does not discuss any harmful effect of other
pollutants. The thrust of the declaration challenges the hysteria
brought about by the narrative of imminent doom.
The declaration, put together by the Global Climate Intelligence Group
(CLINTEL), was made public this month and urges that Climate science
should be less political, while climate policies should be more
scientific.
CLINTEL is an independent foundation that operates in the fields of
climate change and climate policy. CLINTEL was founded in 2019 by
emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist
Marcel Crok.
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, the declaration says.
Of the 1,609 scientists who have signed the declaration, two
signatories are Nobel Prize laureates. The most recent to sign is Nobel
Prize winner Dr. John F. Clauser, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in
Physics. In an announcement from CLINTEL, Clauser is quoted as saying
"Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-
journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a
scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been
promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents,
politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists."
The underlying report that engendered the declaration lays out a series
of statements challenging many of the common climate claims. For
example, one of the most common claims and repeated without question
by many is that the earth will soon pass "tipping points that will
lead to catastrophic environmental damage, including dangerous sea
level rise, entire species going extinct, and even greater suffering in
many nations, especially the poorest."
The sense of immediate crisis has been repeated constantly by
mainstream media, including The New York Times, which said flatly,
"Earth is likely to cross a critical threshold for global warming
within the next decade."
In 2009, former vice president Al Gore famously predicted that "the
Arctic would be ice-free by 2013." He later backtracked, according to
Reuters, who said Gore was merely quoting other scientific reports.
Gore had three years earlier published "An Inconvenient Truth" the
subtitle of which was "The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and
What We Can Do About It." A documentary film based on the book earned
$24,146,161 in gross receipts that year.
Celebrity activist Greta Thunberg tweeted in 2018 five years after
Gore's doomsday prediction that "climate change will wipe out all of
humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years."
The Highland County Press reported that she deleted the tweet.
Last week, John Kerry, President Biden's "Special Presidential Envoy
for Climate" spoke at a conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, saying that
"scientists who have spent a lifetime tracking this human-made crisis
described themselves as 'alarmed' and 'terrified.' As one said
unequivocally, we are now in uncharted territory.
"So now, humanity is inexorably threatened by humanity itselfby those
seducing people into buying into a completely fictitious alternative
reality where we dont need to act and we dont even need to care,"
Kerry added.
The signatories to the CLINTEL declaration say that global warming is
far slower than predicted, and that inadequate models often guide
climate policy.
The CLINTEL declaration comes at a time when recent claims abound that
natural disasters such as the wildfires in Maui and Canada, the
heatwaves across the globe and other events are driven by climate
change. The declaration goes on to challenge the ever-ready blame on
climate change, stating There is no statistical evidence that global
warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike
natural disasters, or making them more frequent.
As President Biden and countless world leaders push heavily for net-
zero carbon emissions by 2050 the scientists assert that this is not
only unrealistic, but harmful to world economies.
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, the paper reads, proposing adaptation
instead of mitigation.
