Almost every fearmongering mainstream media climate headline and story that has been written over the last 15 years is junk, says Chris Morrison. The post IPCC Admits Apocalyptic Climate Scenarios Are “Implausible” appeared first on Clintel.
Finally, the IPCC’s doomsday scenario is being tossed in the trash. The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant deemed the news important enough for the front page. Marcel Crok wrote as early as 2018 that the IPCC’s extreme scenario was untenable. However, the wheels of science turn slowly, and so it took more than eight years for this insight to be recognized by the scientific community.

In a recent podcast with Tom Nelson, energy expert Prof. Samuel Furfari speaks about the nonsense of COP’s and of climate policy in general. But he is also cautiously optimistic about the future: “If the next UN leader comes from Africa or Asia rather than Europe, they may adopt a more pragmatic and ‘sober vision’ of climate policy.” The post Samuel Furfari on COP’s and climate policy: “Just blah blah” appeared first on Clintel.
South Korea must end sacrificing growth, stability, and innovation at the altar of unverifiable climate fantasy, says Vijay Jayaraj. The country remains dependent on fossil fuels by necessity. The post South Korea’s Net Zero Boast Crumbles appeared first on Clintel.
The Canadian Climate Institute claims that the industrial carbon price amounts to only a “Timbit" per barrel of costs (value ~CAD 0.50) and that there is almost "zero" economic impact on households; these claims are disputed by Friends of Science Society in a new video explainer, "Timbit Carbon Tax". The post “Timbit” Carbon Taxes and Net Zero Goals Limit Canadian Economy appeared first on Clintel.
The reduction of CO2 emissions in Germany by approximately 46% in the years 2007–2023 was not the result of a simple substitution of coal with renewable sources. It was primarily conditioned by a drastic drop in the total amount of energy produced. The post Decline in total energy production key factor in German CO2 reduction, not renewables appeared first on Clintel.
A new edition of a science education manual for judges departs “sharply” from a “longstanding tradition of neutrality,” say three of America’s most distinguished physicists in a letter to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. The post Lindzen, Happer and Koonin: remove ‘Trojan Horse’ from the courtroom appeared first on Clintel.
In a recent lecture prof. William Happer showed that even the complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce global temperatures by only about 0.05°C. The effect is so small that it calls into question the justification for aggressive mitigation policies targeting these methane producing animals, like cows. The post “Complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce temperature by only 0.05°C” appeared first on Clintel.
A recent paper predicts an irreversible disaster beyond which the planet would become unbearably hot. But a careful look at the evidence reveals this claim to be absurd, with no sign that we are currently anywhere close to such a climate tipping point. The post We are nowhere near a Climate Tipping Point appeared first on Clintel.
The persistence of ‘climate doom’ narratives isn’t mysterious—it follows recognizable psychological and social patterns, says Anthony Watts. The post Understanding the Psychology of Climate Doom appeared first on Clintel.
The relative contributions of solar radiation and greenhouse gases to ocean warming are not as well understood as often portrayed. Significant uncertainties remain, says Andy May in a recent podcast with Tom Nelson. The post Andy May on ‘The Sun versus CO2’ appeared first on Clintel.
Western Europe’s ancien régime will not endure very much longer. Populist-conservative parties have been gaining ground across the continent over the past several years precisely because the lived reality of the majority contradicts elite doctrine. Yet until voters enforce a return to economic literacy, rational energy policy and national sovereignty, Western Europe and Britain will continue its Soviet-style trajectory. The post The European Union and the UK increasingly resemble the late Soviet Union appeared first on Clintel.
