Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL) climate change and climate policy
.
Climate scientists have issued a shock declaration that the “alleged climate emergency” has ended.
A two-day climate conference in Prague, organized by the Czech division of the international Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), which took place on November 12-13 in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic in Prague, “declares and affirms that the imagined and imaginary ‘climate emergency’ has ended”.
.
The communiqué, drafted by the eminent scientists and researchers, who spoke at the conference, makes clear that for several decades so-called 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, IPCC, 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.”
The declaration supports the conclusions of the major Clintel report The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC [presented to the Conference by Marcel Crok, Clintel’s co-founder].
.
The scientists at the conference declared, even if all nations moved straight to net zero emissions, by 2050 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, because nations, such as Russia, China, India, Pakistan, etc., continue to greatly expand their combustion of coal, oil and gas.
.
The cost of achieving the above 0.1 C reduction in global warming would be $2,000 TRILLION, equivalent to 20 years’ worldwide gross domestic product of 2023.
.
The conference “calls upon the entire scientific community to cease and desist from its persecution of scientists and researchers, who disagree with the current IPCC 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 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, that is to say –
- The modest increase in the atmospheric concentration of CO2 that has taken place since the end of the Little Ice Age has been net-beneficial to humanity.
- Foreseeable future increases in CO2 likely will prove to be beneficial.
- CO2 ppm is near the lowest level of the past 600 million years
- The rate and amplitude of global warming have been and will continue to be appreciably less than climate scientists have long predicted.
- The Sun, not CO2, has contributed and will continue to contribute the overwhelming majority of global temperature; the Sun using water vapor as its medium for distributing energy and precipitation.
- Geological evidence compellingly suggests, the rate and amplitude of global warming during the industrial era are neither unprecedented nor unusual.
- Climate models are inherently incapable of telling us anything about how much global warming there will be, or about whether and to what extent, the warming has a natural or human cause.
- Global warming will likely continue to be slow, small, harmless and a net-beneficial.
- There is broad agreement within the scientific community, extreme weather events have not increased in frequency, intensity or duration and are in the future unlikely to do so.
- Though global population has increased four times over the past century, annually averaged deaths attributable to any climate-related, or weather-related event, have decreased by 99%.
- Global climate-related financial losses, expressed as a percentage of world gross product, WGP, have decreased and will continue to decrease, despite the increase in built infrastructure in harm’s way.
- Despite $TRILLIONS spent in Western countries on CO2 reduction programs, global temperature has continued to increase since 1990.
- Even if all nations, rather than just western nations, were to move directly and together from the current trajectory to "Net zero CO2 by 2050", the global warming prevented by that year would be no more than 0.05 to 0.1 Celsius.
- If the Czech Republic, the host of this conference, were to move to "Net zero CO2 by 2050", the global warming prevented by that year would be no more than 1/4000 Celsius.
- The UK National Grid Authority estimates, implementing "Net zero by 2050" would cost $3.8 TRILLION (the only such estimate that is properly-costed). The UK grid accounts for 25% of UK CO2; the UK accounts for 0.8% of world CO2. The global cost for "Net zero by 2050" would about $2,000 TRILLION, equivalent to 20 years’ global GWP of 2023.
- On any grid, where the installed nameplate capacity of wind and solar power exceeds the average demand on that grid, adding wind or solar power will barely yield additional CO2 reductions, but will greatly increase the cost of electricity, and likely reduce the revenues earned by both new and existing wind and solar generators, due to curtailments, when electrical demand, MW, is low.
- The resources of techno-metals required to achieve "Net zero by 2050" are entirely insufficient, even for one 15-year generation of infrastructure, meaning "Net zero by 2050" is unattainable.
- Because highly subsidized, intermittent, wind and solar power is more costly, and more environmentally destructive per TWh, than any other energy source, governments should cease to prioritize and subsidize them. They should expand coal, oil, and gas production (about 82% of world energy was consumption was from coal, oil and gas in 2023). They should greatly expand nuclear power generation.
- The IPCC, which rejects participants and published papers disagreeing with IPCC narratives, fails to comply with its own error-reporting protocol and draws conclusions some of which are dishonest, should be immediately 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 IPCC persecution of scientists and researchers, who disagree with the current IPCC narrative on climate change, and instead to encourage the long and noble tradition of free, open and uncensored scientific research, investigation, publication and discussion.
