Climate Change

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.

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.

As governments and corporations worldwide pivot toward pragmatic energy strategies, Democratic governors in the U.S. Northeast continue to pursue green energy policies that raise costs and undermine energy reliability. The disconnect is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The post Democratic Governors Ignore Energy Realities and Cling to Costly Green Policies appeared first on Clintel.

Is Canada really warming at double the global average rate, as the Canadian government says it is? A new scientific report suggests the answer is no, arguing that Canada’s reported warming is largely the result of serious errors in official temperature data.

While governments spend billions on CO₂ reduction, real environmental problems remain unresolved. The real environmental crisis is not climate change, but waste, polluted water and failing governance. The post The Real Environmental Crisis Is Not Climate Change appeared first on Clintel.

Germany is heading toward a serious gas crisis as storage levels plunge in the middle of winter, with some facilities nearly empty. While households are still protected, industry faces growing risks as the government remains largely silent.

Recent research shows that sea level projections are (significantly) higher than observations to date. This means that coastal infrastructure designs are generally over-dimensioned and therefore not cost-effective. The post “More realism about sea level rise needed in coastal infrastructure design” appeared first on Clintel.
