“…There is a lot of evidence that CO2 mitigation measures are equally damaging because they are very expensive. Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities. There is no climate emergency”.
There are many very smart people in the world. And most don’t work at colleges and universities and pressure groups. They are curious, free-thinking, and even politically incorrect agents.
As the history of climate alarmism is written decades from now, there will be recognition of how a latent stream of thought can very well test whether an intellectual/political/ The media declares a serious emergency due to man-made effects on the climate. Sites like WUWT– “world’s leading climate site” -to be recognized. So will Judith Curry’s sober comment at Climate, etc..
And so, more than a thousand intellectuals, critical thinkers signed a manifesto challenging the current orthodoxy that remains in political power. Chris Morrison reported in Daily skepticism last week:
The political fiction that humans cause most or all of climate change, and claims that the science behind the concept has been ‘solved’, has been dealt a brutal blow by the publication of a ‘World Climate Declaration (WCD)‘signed by more than 1,100 scientists and experts. The authors, who were drawn from all over the world and led by Professor Ivar Giaever, Norwegian Nobel laureate in physics, said. Climate science is said to have turned into a belief-based discussion rather than sound self-critical science.
He added:
The scale of the opposition to ‘settlement’ climate science today is remarkable, given how difficult it is in academia to raise funding for any climate research other than fundamentalism. system. (Full list of signatories available here.) Another lead author of the statement, Professor Richard Lindzen, called the current climate story “absurd”, but acknowledged the trillions of dollars and relentless propaganda from academics. dependent on funding, and agenda-setting journalists now say that’s not unreasonable.
The World Climate Declaration (Global Climate Intelligence Team) the following:
No climate emergency Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address the uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should judiciously weigh the actual costs as well as the benefits. imaginary benefits of their policy measures.
Natural as well as human factors cause warming. The geological archives reveal that Earth’s climate has changed for as long as the planet has existed, with naturally cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended most recently in 1850. It is therefore not surprising that we are experiencing a period of warming.
Warming has been much slower than anticipated. The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by the IPCC on the basis of anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the model world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.
Climate policy based on inappropriate models Climate models have many shortcomings and are not considered remote policy tools. They not only exaggerate the effects of greenhouse gases, but also ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
CO2 is the food of plants, the basis of all life on Earth CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential for all life on Earth. More CO2 is beneficial to nature, greening our planet. Additional CO2 in the atmosphere has fueled global plant biomass growth. It is also profitable for agriculture, increasing crop production worldwide.
Global warming does not increase natural disasters There is no statistical evidence that global warming is increasing hurricanes, floods, droughts and similar natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2 mitigation measures are equally damaging because they are very expensive.
Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no reason to panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic zero-CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Adapt instead of reduce; Adaptation works regardless of the cause.
OUR ADVICE TO EUROPEAN LEADERS IS SCIENCE SHOULD STRATEGY FOR BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF THE CLIMATE SYSTEM, BECAUSE POLITICAL STRATEGY SHOULD STRATEGIES PROJECT BY TECHNOLOGY AND IMPACT.

COP27 is coming in a few months. The world is transitioning to fossil fuels, while only the government continues to keep gravy training running on wind/solar/battery power. Global Climate Intelligence Group’s World Climate Declaration is a guiding light for an entirely different approach to free-market adaptation, not government mitigation.
