The Czech division of the international Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) organised an excellent two day conference in Prague. Clintel released a press release after the event and a communiqué highlighting the most important fightings of the conference. All the talks and the abstracts will be available later. Below the press release and a link to the communiqué.

Clintel international climate conference in Czech Parliament
Climate scientists officially declare ‘climate emergency’ at an end

Prague, 14 November 2024

Climate scientists have issued a shock declaration that the ‘climate emergency’ is over.
A two-day climate conference in Prague, organised by the Czech division of the international Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), which took place on November 12 and 13 in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic in Prague, ‘declares and affirms that the imagined and imaginary “climate emergency” is at an end’.

The communiqué drafted by the eminent scientists and researchers who spoke at the conference makes clear that for several decades climate scientists have  systematically exaggerated the influence of CO2 on global temperature.

The high-level scientific conference also declared:

‘The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which excludes participants and published papers disagreeing with its narrative, fails to comply with its own error-reporting protocol and draws conclusions some of which are dishonest, should be forthwith dismantled.’

This declaration supports the conclusions of the major Clintel report The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC.

Moreover, the scientists at the conference declared that even if all nations moved straight to net zero emissions, by the 2050 target date the world would be only about 0.1 C cooler than with no emissions reduction.

So far, the attempts to mitigate climate change by international agreements such as the Paris Agreement have made no difference to our influence on climate, since nations such as Russia and China, India and Pakistan continue greatly to expand their combustion of coal, oil and gas.

The cost of achieving that 0.1 C reduction in global warming would be $2 quadrillion, equivalent to 20 years’ worldwide gross domestic product.

Finally, the conference ‘calls upon the entire scientific community to cease and desist from its persecution of scientists and researchers who disagree with the current official narrative on climate change and instead to encourage once again the long and noble tradition of free, open and uncensored scientific research, investigation, publication and discussion’.

The press release was also posted on WUWT.

In the ‘climate case of the century’ Friends of the Earth Netherlands demanded that Shell reduce emissions throughout the entire chain by at least 45% by 2030. The Clintel Foundation also applied to intervene in this case but the Court rejected its application on incoherent grounds. On the 12th of November, the Hague Court of Appeal rejected the claims of Friens of the Earth. Nevertheless, the ruling did not eliminate the threat of activist NGOs launching climate cases, says environmental lawyer Lucas Bergkamp.

The Court of Appeal was not impressed by Friends of the Earth's “go green or go extinct” rhetoric and rejected its claims.  Nevertheless, the Court of Appeal’s ruling leaves much to be desired and did not eliminate the threat of activist NGOs launching climate cases to effect “system change,” i.e., set aside democracy, subordinate citizens and destroy the economy.

A few days after the verdict Friends of the Earth already announced that they will continue with their new court case against the Dutch ING Bank.

Meanwhile, the Dutch investigative reporter Arno Wellens wrote an article (in Dutch) about the funding of Milieudefensie (the Dutch division of Friends of the Earth). He found out that Milieudefensie received a 13.6 million grant from the Waverley Street Foundation. Who is funding this foundation? Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple-founder Steve Jobs. The 13.6 million euros is earmarked for more climate court cases...

Greek hydrologist Demetris Koutsoyiannis, who has been very active lately in publishing scientific articles about climate change and the greenhouse effect, has now also started his own blog. 

Here an excerpt from his introductory article:

Our politicians, followed by mainstream media and a very wide audience, speak about “climate change”, “climate emergency” or “climate crisis”.

Viewed scientifically, the term “climate change” has the same significance as “time change” or “weather change”. Like time and weather, climate has always changed during the 4.5 billion years of Earth’s history. Hence, “climate change”, if seen in a scientific context, is a tautology, a pleonasm. It is just a popular slogan that belongs to the political vocabulary.

In Greece, we have a Ministry of Climate Crisis. The European Parliament has declared a state of climate emergency. Yet, the Clintel’s World Climate Declaration, of which I am a signatory, states: “There is no climate emergency/crisis”. To elucidate my point of view: as a physical reality, there is no climate crisis, but as a political issue, there is—and it’s much more dangerous than a physical climate crisis.

In brief, the political landscape around climate is this. A climafia feeds its climinions with climillions, while a much wider number of climorons spread the propaganda fabricated by the climafiosi. And given the extent of the climandate agenda, we may assume that it also includes climoles, who present themselves as climate sceptics, while serving the agenda. This is the entire climess around.

Clintel recently published a fascinating essay written by Jaap Hanekamp and Matt Briggs about the Pope's views on climate change. The essay can be read here. 
We believe this essay deserves a little more attention than it has received so far. As the essay is quite philosophical and not an easy read, we think translations into other languages might help, especially Spanish and Italian, but also French, German, Portuguese etc.

If you would like to help with a translation, please contact Evert Doornhof, evert.doornhof@clintel.org.

Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation for the last 15 years, will give a talk in The Netherlands about the latest (geo)political and economical developments around climate policy. What does the Trump win mean for climate policy? Will the COP29 in Baku flop? Peiser talks from his longtime experience with the climate debate. Peiser: “For the first time in all these years I see people starting to listen to us.”

The talk will be given on Tuesday 26 November at 8 pm, shortly after the end of the COP29. The venue is Antropia conference center in Driebergen-Zeist. If readers from outside The Netherlands would like to attend, please contact evert.doornhof@clintel.org. The lecture will be recorded and be made available online after the event on the Youtube channel of Clintel.

Not climate change but climate policy is the main threat for the prosperity of western societies at this moment. The Clintel Foundation has stated, with a global network of 2000 scientists and experts, that there is no climate emergency. Western leaders, however, have all voted in favour of Net Zero targets for 2050, which will have a disastrous effect on our economy and therefore our prosperity. Meanwhile, the UN is increasing its effort to fight 'disinformation', which in practice means less open debate and more censoring of alternative views. 

Climate policies are a threat for entrepreneurs and it enters deeper and deeper into the private life of citizens. Wind turbines of close to 300 meters in height industrialise our countrysides, harming the environment,, biodiversity and public health. House owners are forced to replace their gas heaters by costly heat pumps, leading to rising energy bills. More and more cities reduce speed limits to 30 kms per hour.

There is no support base among the population for all these costly measures but our political leaders so far ignore these objections. Sooner or later the tide will turn, because these policies are unfeasible and unaffordable. Clintel wants to speed up this process by making both citizens and political leaders aware of all the pitfalls. Clintel receives no funding from the government nor from the Postcode Lottery or the industry. We therefore ask citizens and small businesses to support us in our mission.

Your support will be used to:

* Explain in all details there is no climate emergency. No one should be afraid of climate change. We use our websites and social media channels to spread this information and also give interviews in the media.

* Analyse and criticize IPCC reports. We check them for alarmism and one-sidedness. In 2023 we published the book The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC.  We confront the IPCC with our results and will force them to respond to our criticism.

* Raise awareness for the negative side-effects of the current climate policies, both in terms of cost and impact on humans and the environment.

* Intervene in high profile climate court cases such as the one between Friends of the Earth and Shell in The Netherlands. Climate policy should be discussed in Parliaments, not in the courts.
