There is No Climate Emergency: Professor Guus Berkhout By James Reed
Another professor has come out swinging arguing that there is no climate change emergency. Dutch Professor Guus Berkhout of Climate Intelligence (Clintel), a global climate change and policy foundation, sees the climate change alarmist narrative as having civilisation-wrecking capacities: "Sadly, that [which] was carefully built up by past generations is now rapidly destroyed by the evil climate and green energy policies … Citizens pay the price." He sees the establishment climate change "science," as represented by the IPCC, as being distorted by politics, as do the 1,850 signatories worldwide, including Nobel Prize laureates and leading scientists and climate experts, to the 2019 Clintel World Climate Declaration (WCD).
According to Professor Berkhout: "The climate system is very complex, and we still know little about how it works. Fake scientists claim that 'the science is settled,' but honest scientists say the opposite. They acknowledge that current theoretical models are still primitive and must not be used in climate policies. In other words, climate models are not fit for purpose!"
It is important that honest scientist challenge the foundations of the climate change ideology, as this is a major political weapon of the globalists seeking to de-industrialise the West, including Australian industry.
"Has climate madness reached its peak? More genuine climate experts dare to speak up against the discourse of fear spread by politicians, movements, and the colored mainstream media. Climate Intelligence (Clintel), a global climate change and policy foundation, takes the lead with honest climate science and assures no climate emergency. "We tell a truthful story, not just one side," said Clintel founder emeritus professor Guus Berkhout.
"Sadly, that was carefully built up by past generations is now rapidly destroyed by the evil climate and green energy policies," Berkhout added. "Citizens pay the price."
The Dutch retired professor, nearing 84 years of age and still full of energy, expects 2024 to be an essential year for what he describes as honest climate science. He gets very passionate when asked how the so-called global climate emergency is portrayed in the mainstream media.
Berkhout: "There is much more to climate change than reported in the past decades. Their story is embarrassingly one-sided." Clintel's main objective is to generate broad knowledge and understanding of the causes and effects of climate change, as well as the effects of climate policies.
After its launch in 2019, it published the World Climate Declaration (WCD), which has an impressive list of over 1850 signatories worldwide, including Nobel Prize laureates and leading scientists and climate experts.
The WCD puts a mirror in front of the scientific world that has made bold statements and presented dooming scenarios about man-made climate change and its consequences for the world. In its declaration, Clintel urges all climate science to be less political while climate policies should be more scientific.
Berkhout: "It is straightforward; We try to tell the total story. It is not because it suits a political agenda or somebody pays us to do so, but because we are honest scientists. The truth about climate change has been completely unhinged over the past 30 years."
The Dutch geophysicist emphasized that he fully supports promoting sustainability, preserving biodiversity, and caring for nature. But it should be done in a sensible way: "Many measures are ideological and reach the opposite."
Berkhout knows how the wheels spin in the industry. During his impressive career, the Dutch scholar worked for the oil and gas industry and as a professor at Delft University. A lot of his research was financed by geophysical companies worldwide.
He repeatedly explained that climate warnings and predictions do not result from a truthful scientific approach. "While it is presented as such," he said. Scientists should openly address the assumptions and uncertainties in their global warming predictions. Politicians should not only mention the imagined benefits but also the actual costs of their policy measures.
Berkhout: "The climate system is very complex, and we still know little about how it works. Fake scientists claim that 'the science is settled,' but honest scientists say the opposite. They acknowledge that current theoretical models are still primitive and must not be used in climate policies. In other words, climate models are not fit for purpose!
The emeritus professors' passionate way of talking is almost contagious. He is determined with his team to expose the truth for the sake of future generations.
He repeated: "Since theoretical models cannot be trusted, climate science should primarily be based on measurements. His leitmotif is 'Let the data speak.' However, most climate scientists are more interested in their models than data. Unfortunately, this is also what we see in the UN's research organization IPPC."
"How does the science of IPCC work? They started 30 years ago with the claim, 'Global warming is caused by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (CO2). Next, they created a theoretical model that confirms their claim. An approach that is a mortal sin in science", he explained.
In real science, the modus operandi is the opposite. Berkhout:" You have one or more hypotheses you want to validate? Then, you compare modeling results, so-called synthetic measurements, with accurate measurements. Essential in this process is that you do not aim for measurements that confirm your hypothesis but strive for measurements that may reject your hypothesis! That is science in a nutshell."
