There is NO climate emergency. Preaching doom and gloom is a crime against the young generation. These are the key points of a new manifesto from the Climate Intelligence Group or CLINTEL.
CLINTEL is a rapidly growing international group, led by prominent scientists, that opposes the ill-founded attempts to scare people into hasty climate policy actions.
They also oppose the terrorizing of children as part of the false climate alarm. CLINTEL recently issued a World Climate Declaration denouncing scaremongering and this new manifesto provides detailed scientific backup for the WCD for a wide public.
The manifesto is authored by Professor Guus Berkhout, the President of CLINTEL.
The focus of the Berkhout manifesto is on climate-related modeling, which it says is “unfit for purpose.” The purpose, in this case, is predicting future climate change. Modeling dominates climate science.
It also provides the scary scenarios that drive hugely expensive and disruptive climate emergency action policies. That the models are faulty is a very important finding.
The manifesto says there are at least four strong reasons why today’s models are no good.
First, the model makers have not properly included the many factors that are known to be important, especially natural variability.
In fact, the major models simply assume that (almost) all climate change is due to human activity, an unproven hypothesis.
Second, the predictions to date are dramatically too warm compared to actual satellite measurements. There has been relatively little warming in the last 20 years and much of that looks to be natural.
In stark contrast, the models have predicted dramatic warming that has not occurred. The models are far too hot to be trusted. Not the climate but the model makers are the sources of the panic.
Third, the models lack consideration of historical climate data. There is a growing list of observational studies finding that the global temperature is nowhere near as sensitive to human-generated CO2 as the models assume.
Ironically the latest generation of models is even more sensitive than their predecessors, so they are getting even further from observation. The models are getting worse, not better.
Nor can these models explain past periods of warming and cooling, such as the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and the recently ended Little Ice Age (LIA).
If we cannot even explain past climate changes, exclusively caused by natural variability, then we certainly cannot understand the present and predict the future.
A great deal more data and research are needed in this area. We simply have insufficient insight into the complex nature of climate change. Climate science is far from settled!
All of these glaring problems with models are well explained in the Berkhout manifesto. It follows that present model projections of dangerous future warming and subsequent natural disasters are not to be trusted.
They are certainly no basis for inflicting damaging climate policies on the world. The manifesto puts it succinctly: “Stop using Misleading Computer Models.”
CLINTEL is also focused on children being demoralized by climate alarmism. Young people are easy to influence by activists because they have not had enough science to defend themselves.
In addition, climate change and environmental pollution are hopelessly confused. To explain why there is NO climate emergency, the manifesto closes with “a message to our grandchildren.”
Here is the gist of the message:
“Don’t behave like a parrot. Be critical against the many false prophets who try to misuse you and try to turn you against your parents. The information they tell you is one-sided and misleading. Please, deepen your climate knowledge. By doing so, you will find out that there is NO empirical evidence that points at any climate crisis.”
The World Climate Declaration basically says that the climate policies, being called for in the false name of emergency, not only dangerously undermine the global economic system but also put lives at risk in countries where large-scale access to reliable and affordable electricity is made unfeasible.
This CLINTEL manifesto provides the science showing that there is no such emergency.
CLINTEL recently sent a letter of protest to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The basic message is clearly stated here:
“Despite heated political rhetoric, we urge all world leaders to accept the reality that there is no climate emergency. There is ample time to use scientific advances to continue improving our understanding of climate change. Meanwhile, we should go for ADAPTATION; adaptation works whatever the causes are.”

Guns …global warming …all the same thing .
Only big government and communism can save the planet don’t you know ?
But don’t worry a teenager is being incorporated at this very minute
to inspire lip quivering for the really really hurt feelings crowd .
Ruined childhoods , bad dreams ….make it end …..just buy my T shirts , Christmas book , and virtue signalling socks .
I bookmarked the website. I’m finished funding mealy mouthed politicians. CLINTEL looks promising. I hope that they can successfully refute the Big Lie of
‘settled science’, to the point where the MSM is forced to explain their twisted view.
Water is the most plentiful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. But it congregates as clouds, which has a cooling effect. So most models just have these modeled as a constant factor. Because it is too complex to actually track and model humidity and clouds. So the models virtually ignore their impacts. If you can’t model humidity and cloud impacts accurately, how in the heck can you predict the temperature in 100 years!?!?
You can’t. Plain and simple.
Did anyone else notice that the picture associated with this article was an anti-gun demonstration?
I have been following the global warming/climate change fraud almost since the beginning. Few people know that the first effort at a climate model, though it made incorrect assumptions about the impact of carbon dioxide, predicted that there would be warming but not enough to be a problem. In order to get useful political results, other factors were added such as positive feed back that exists in the current climate models. The current models are specifically designed to support the political cause. The most extreme is RCP8.5 which predicts 5 degrees of warming by 2100. From what I have read it appears that not even the knowledgeable warmists believe this model will come true, yet it is cited in many studies. This is the model that the US National Climate Assessment was based on. RCP8.5 is the basis of the current climate hysteria.
The climate model INMCM5 is different. Unlike the models designed to support politics, the predictions of INMCM5 do a good job of matching the real world from 1880 on. This model only predicts warming of 1.4 degrees by 2100, so it is not useful for leftist political causes and is ignored.
I looked at the Clintel website and took a quick look at some of their supporting documentation and it looks LEGIT. I certainly agree with their basic observations and I, for one, WELCOME their challenge to the IPCC to engage in a creditable scientific debate in 2020. More power to Clintel and this worldwide initiative. Time to blow the lid of this Climate Crisis “Scam!”
Why should we declare a emergency when there is no emergency
Because blind panic is the alarmists’ best friend.
