A global network of critical scientists and engineers (CLINTEL) has prepared a simple message: “There is no climate emergency.”.CLINTEL acknowledges climate change exists and cannot be ignored, however the organization emphasizes that there is no cause for panic or alarm..“The CLINTEL scientists strongly oppose the misleading, unrealistic, and destructive global net-zero CO2 policy ‘NetZero.’ Instead, they promote climate adaptation policies that demonstrate a high benefit-cost ratio,” CLINTEL says..CLINTEL is an independent foundation that operates in the fields of climate change and climate policy 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..“The past 150 years show that affordable and reliable energy are key to producing the basic needs for all, such as food, health, sanitation, housing, electricity, and education. The past 150 years also show that more CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth, and increasing the crop yields,” their website says..“Why do political leaders ignore these hard facts? Why do political leaders do the opposite with their ‘Great Reset’ and lower the quality of life by forcing high-cost, dubious ‘low-carbon’ energy technologies upon their citizens? To get it their way, fear is used, but history shows that fear has never led to sensible policies.”.To manage the fast growth of signatories worldwide and stay abreast with what is going on in all those countries, CLINTEL appointed ambassadors to keep the organization up to date on the climate news in their respective countries. This is how the small CLINTEL office — in collaboration with a highly motivated volunteers — stays informed of developments in many different parts of the world..

The opinions of scientists and politicians are not relevant. This is not to say that anthropogenic climate change or the possibility of an anthropogenic climate change disaster are disproven, it is just to say that no valid evidence exists to support these hypotheses,” said Andy May, author of the book Politics & Climate Science – A HISTORY, on a CLINTEL site blog post..CLINTEL’s main objectives are listed as follows:.• 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..• The Foundation conducts and stimulates a public debate about this and carries out investigative reporting in this field..• The Foundation wants to function as an international meeting place for scientists with different views on climate change and climate policy..• The Foundation will also carry out or finance its own scientific research into climate change and climate policy..CLINTEL’s website is host to its Climate Declaration, a document it states is a living document on its position on the globe’s climate status..“CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide,” the World Climate Declaration says. “There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly..CLINTEL wants to take the role of independent ‘climate watchdog,' both in the field of climate science and climate policy..Amanda Brown is a reporter with the Western Standard.abrown@westernstandard.news.Twitter: @WS_JournoAmanda
