Over 1,600 Scientists Sign 'No Climate Emergency' Declaration | The Epoch Times
International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.
"There is no climate emergency," the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August.
"Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.
"A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.
The coalition pointed out that Earth's climate has varied as long as it has existed, with the planet experiencing several cold and warm phases
. The Little Ice Age only ended as recently as 1850, they said.
"Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming," the declaration said. Warming is happening "far slower" than predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
"Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools," the coalition said, adding that these models "exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases" and "ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
" For instance, even though climate alarmists characterize CO2 as environmentally-damaging, the coalition pointed out that the gas is "not a pollutant."Carbon dioxide is "essential" to all life on earth and is "favorable" for nature. Extra CO2 results in the growth of global plant biomass while also boosting the yields of crops worldwide.
CLINTEL also dismissed the narrative of global warming being linked to increased natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts, stressing that there is "no statistical evidence" to support these claims.
"There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050.
Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are," it said."To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today's climate discussion to which climate models are central.
Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should not we free ourselves from the naive belief in immature climate models?
"Climate Models and Sunlight Reflection Among the CLINTEL signatories are two Nobel laureates-physicists John Francis Clauser from the United States and Ivan Giaever, a Norwegian-American. Mr. Clauser has made a significant addition to climate models to dismiss the narrative of global warming: the visible light reflected by cumulus clouds which, on average, cover half of the earth.
So why did you post something that's completely untrue? The 1600 signatories are not scientists, as your first line claims. So why did you say it? When you write things that are completely wrong and so easy to disprove why should anyone believe that you have the ability to know right from wrong?
Only the most gullible people would swallow the claim that the signatories are scientists or professionals 'cause it's easy to prove it's bulldust. The second name I googled, Gordon Batt, does not claim to be a professional or a scientist, but he DOES try to sell fossil fuels.
The next name on the list is a retired lawyer - why on earth would anyone care what a retired lawyer thinks about a subject in which they have no qualifications or experience? Would you ask a scientist a question about law?
Go down a couple more spots and there's Geoff Brown, "organiser of a critical climate group". There's no evidence that he is a scientist or a professional, so why did you lie about him?
Then there's "Andrew E. Chapman, Expert on Rainfall and Flood Events". So why do you claim that he is a scientist or a professional, when there is no evidence whatsoever to back that up? Then there's Mike Elliott; there's info about him on the web and he is NOT a scientist or a professional.
So it's easy to prove that your claim that the 1600 were scientists and professionals is wrong. Why did you make the claim? Did you not check the facts or did you lie?
