Claims that climate science is “settled” are frequently used to justify far-reaching policy decisions. In this article, Vijay Jayaraj examines how model uncertainties, conflicting evidence and real-world observations challenge the idea of certainty in the climate debate.

Periods of cold weather are often cited in debates about climate change—but what do they really tell us? In this article, Fernando del Pino Calvo Sotelo examines how rain, snow, and low temperatures are interpreted in the climate discussion, separating scientific evidence from popular narratives.

Is the Mediterranean really a climate hotspot? Drawing on long-term hydroclimatic observations, Demetris Koutsoyiannis and Theano Iliopoulou revisit the evidence and highlight the region’s striking climatic complexity. The post Rethinking the Mediterranean Climate Hotspot: New Evidence Reveals a More Complex Reality appeared first on Clintel.
Claims that today’s Arctic or global temperatures are unprecedented in the Holocene are still widely repeated in scientific literature. In this article, Andy May examines temperature proxy records and shows that both the magnitude and the rate of warming during the Holocene have been misrepresented.

The Polar Bear Narrative: What Scientists Knew Before Frozen Planet Aired In 2011, BBC viewers were told that polar bears in the Barents Sea were starving due to climate-driven sea ice loss. Later scientific evidence shows that this portrayal was inconsistent with data already available at the time.

Germany is nearing a potential energy emergency as gas reserves fall and heavy industries face possible shutdowns. Critics argue the looming economic damage is less the result of harsh winter conditions than of years of far-reaching policy decisions. What is unfolding now may be the consequence of strategic choices that have left Europe’s largest economy increasingly vulnerable. The post Germany Nears Energy Emergency — And Policy Failure Is to Blame appeared first on Clintel.
Seven years after Dutch skeptics first challenged KNMI's temperature adjustments, the institute has reinstated seven "lost" pre-1950 heatwaves at De Bilt — validating claims of over-correction that had erased 16 out of 23 historical extremes. The breakthrough came via the skeptics' peer-reviewed paper. The post Dutch climate skeptics vindicated: KNMI reinstates seven pre-1950 heatwaves after long battle appeared first on Clintel.
Tomáš Elbert, an organic chemist from the Czech Republic, is among the latest signatories of CLINTEL’s World Climate Declaration.
