Norsk presse har som man kunne forvente valgt å ikke publisere noe fra Clintel-konferansen som ble avholdt i Prag i november. Clinel er en faglig tung organisasjon som er etablert for å formidle korrekt informasjon om klimaendringer og klimapolitikk, noe som mainsteam-pressen har valgt å ikke gjøre.
Clintel består av seriøse forskere og fagfolk, og de hevder da naturlig nok at klimaendringer i all hovedsak styres av solen, og at menneskers påvirkning på klimaet er svært liten.
Enkelte forskere er av den oppfatning at vi står foran en alvorlig menneskeskapt klimakrise og at drastiske politiske tiltak er nødvendig for å hindre at «kloden koker», men den faglige begrunnelsen for dette synspunktet er svært tynn.
Nå er det få forskere som sier at vi står foran en menneskeskapt klimakrise, men allikevel forsøker de fleste journalister og politikere å gi inntrykk av at det er en konsensus blant forskere om at klimakrisen er rett rundt hjørnet: De sier slike ting som at vi har 10 år igjen på å redde verden, noe de har hevdet i mer enn 30 år. (Pressen har foret publikum med dystre påstander om at klimakatastrofen er rett rundt hjørnet kontinuerlig siden cirka 1990, og disse totalt feilaktige påstandene er en sterkt medvirkende årsak til at publikum har svært liten tillit til det mainstreammedia forteller på dette og en rekke andre områder.)
Men tilbake til Clintel. Clintels formålsparagraf lyder slik:
Climate Intelligence (Clintel) is an independent foundation informing people about climate change and climate policies. Clintel was founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok. Clintel’s main objective is to generate knowledge and understanding of the causes and effects of climate change as well as the effects of climate policy on the economy and the environment.
1. The Foundation tries to communicate objectively and transparently to the general public what facts are available about climate change and climate policy and also where facts turn into assumptions and predictions.
2. The Foundation conducts and stimulates a public debate about this and carries out investigative reporting in this field…. (Dette er å finne på Clintels nettside: https://clintel.org/.)
Nedenfor gjengir vi Clintels egen oppsummering av den nylig avholdte konferansen. Men før vi kommer dit oppsummerer vi kort et par ferske nyhetsoppslag.
A report from a group of international researchers shows that temperatures in Greenland aren’t cooperating with the alarmists’ doomsday predictions. In fact, “most areas are cooling.” This is inconvenient for the climate harpies who have designated Greenland as an indicator of what man-made carbon dioxide emissions are doing to the planet.

The Paris Accords As “Climate Insurance”—Unaffordable and Unnecessary
… If you listen to the popular media, you might believe that we humans have already broken the climate. Yet even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) can’t find any climatically significant trends in most climate impact drivers, let alone attribute them to human influences. Losses from extreme weather events are in fact declining as a percentage of GDP as the world becomes more resilient. And projections of the magnitude of future warming have decreased as the IPCC refines its models and the world emits somewhat less CO2than had been expected because of both slower growth and a shift to carbon-light energy sources.

Artikkelen hevder med basis i fakta at klimatiltakene er kolossalt kostbare og helt unødvendige.
Tilbake til Clintel, som oppsummerte den nylig avholdte konferansen på denne måten:
The International Scientific Conference of the Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic in Prague assembled on the Twelfth and Thirteenth Days of November 2024, has resolved and now declares as follows:
1. The modest increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide that has taken place since the end of the Little Ice Age has been net-beneficial to humanity.
2. Foreseeable future increases in greenhouse gases in the air will probably also prove net-beneficial.
3. The rate and amplitude of global warming have been and will continue to be appreciably less than climate scientists have long predicted.
4. The Sun, and not greenhouse gases, has contributed and will continue to contribute the overwhelming majority of global temperature.
5. Geological evidence compellingly suggests that the rate and amplitude of global warming during the industrial era are neither unprecedented nor unusual.
6. Climate models are inherently incapable of telling us anything about how much global warming there will be or about whether or to what extent the warming has a natural or anthropogenic cause.
7. Global warming will likely continue to be slow, small, harmless and net-beneficial.
8. There is broad agreement among the scientific community that extreme weather events have not increased in frequency, intensity or duration and are in future unlikely to do so.
9. Though global population has increased fourfold over the past century, annually averaged deaths attributable to any climate-related or weather-related event have declined by 99%.
10. Global climate-related financial losses, expressed as a percentage of global annual gross domestic product, have declined and continue to decline notwithstanding the increase in built infrastructure in harm’s way.
11. Despite trillions of dollars spent chiefly in Western countries on emissions abatement, global temperature has continued to rise since 1990.
12. Even if all nations, rather than chiefly western nations, were to move directly and together from the current trajectory to net zero emissions by the official target year of 2050, the global warming prevented by that year would be no more than 0.05 to 0.1 Celsius.
13. If the Czech Republic, the host of this conference, were to move directly to net zero emissions by 2050, it would prevent only 1/4000 of a degree of warming by that target date.
14. Based pro rata on the estimate by the UK national grid authority that preparing the grid for net zero would cost $3.8 trillion (the only such estimate that is properly-costed), and on the fact that the grid accounts for 25% of UK emissions, and that UK emissions account for 0.8% of global emissions, the global cost of attaining net zero would approach $2 quadrillion, equivalent to 20 years’ global annual GDP.
15. On any grid where the installed nameplate capacity of wind and solar power exceeds the mean demand on that grid, adding any further wind or solar power will barely reduce grid CO2 emissions but will greatly increase the cost of electricity and yet will reduce the revenues earned by both new and existing wind and solar generators.
16. The resources of techno-metals required to achieve global net zero emissions are entirely insufficient even for one 15-year generation of net zero infrastructure, so that net zero is in practice unattainable.
17. Since wind and solar power are costly, intermittent and more environmentally destructive per TWh generated than any other energy source, governments should cease to subsidize or to prioritize them, and should instead expand coal, gas and, above, all nuclear generation.
18. 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. Therefore, this conference hereby declares and affirms that the imagined and imaginary ‘climate emergency’ is at an End.
This 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. Given under our signs manual this Thirteenth Day of November in the Year of our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Four.
