Former Czech President Václav Klaus appointed President of Clintel
The Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) is honoured to announce that Professor Václav Klaus, the former President of the Czech Republic, from today on will be the new president of Clintel, succeeding the current president, Professor Guus Berkhout, who co-founded the Clintel Foundation in 2019 with Dutch science writer Marcel Crok.

President Klaus has been one of Europe’s most prominent and outspoken critics of climate alarmism. As a politician he saw it straight for what it was: an economically damaging and freedom limiting ideological agenda. Already in 2007 in an op-ed in the Financial Times he wrote: “As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not in communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning.” These words could easily be written today. Which also shows how little progress there has been in the climate debate.
In his farewell speech the outgoing president Berkhout said that “it is not primarily human activity, but the immense forces of nature that drive climate change.” He also emphasized the much more important role of water in all its phases on the climate than the minor role of CO2 and insisted that “climate adaptation is by far the most effective and humane way to reduce victims and damage from extreme weather. Climate mitigation, by aiming for unrealistic emission reductions, has never saved one dollar or one victim.”
In his inaugural speech President Klaus said “that it is our duty to oppose the irrational, populist, and evidently non-scientific climate alarmism.” He added that “we have to search for new ways to make a change – each of us individually and all of us together.”
President Klaus: “We plan to expand our activities both in individual countries and on the global level. We plan to be more active in public debates. We plan to find new supporters. In this respect, we don’t intend to centralize our activities. We will give independence to national groupings and initiatives, and we will welcome their activity.”
Clintel, an independent foundation founded and headquartered in Amsterdam, is the publisher of the World Climate Declaration, which states that “There is no climate emergency”. More than 2000 scientists and professionals from more than 40 nations, including President Klaus, and including the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 winner Prof. John F. Clauser, have signed the Declaration.
In 2023, Clintel published The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC, a book that critically examines the 2021 Sixth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This book has so far been translated into German, French, Dutch and Danish.
Professor Václav Klaus is a Czech economist and politician who played a key role in the transformation of Czechoslovakia and later the Czech Republic after the fall of communism. He was Minister of Finance of Czechoslovakia (1989–1992) during which he was the main architect of the post-communist economic reforms and privatization. He was Prime Minister of the Czech Republic (1993–1998) and President of the Czech Republic (2003–2013). Klaus was Founder and head of the Václav Klaus Institute (think tank) since 2012.
President Klaus is the author of the book Blue Planet in Green Shackles, that has been translated in 18 languages.

Voorbeeld: However, some people are so concerned about the ways to push climate change and CO₂ reduction that they are going out of their minds, according to Lindzen. “They’re showing this temperature graph. And I think they’re realizing people are saying, you know, you draw it like this (going sharply up – HS), but this is one degree. That’s not much. And they’re worried: this is not getting people worried enough. So they’re saying: well, showing them a flood, showing them a storm, that would be visually convincing,” he says. And as it happens, there are always places on Earth that suffer from extreme weather in a way that occurs only once in a hundred years. “And people don’t figure it out that a once in a hundred years event is occurring some place on Earth every month, or five places every month. You have a picture of that. You now put that on television and you can associate ‘climate change’ with something dramatic,” Lindzen says. “The fact that they had to go to that to convince people suggests it was a fake issue because they’re clearly using something that would be normally called false advertising,” he adds.
