Claim of 50,000 heat-related deaths not based on facts
Once again, the media were reporting on heat-related deaths. As many as 50,000 people were said to have succumbed to the heat in European cities this summer. The media reported the news uncritically. However, a fact-check by Marcel Crok reveals that the researchers did not use any mortality figures at all in this study and that assumptions were piled upon assumptions.
Roger Pielke Jr.: “I would scrap the temperature targets”
The international community, and especially the EU, should abandon the Paris Agreement’s temperature targets of limiting global warming to well below 2°C, says independent researcher Roger Pielke Jr, in an interview by Clintel Director Marcel Crok. This would open the door to a more pragmatic approach that would avoid sacrificing economic prosperity.
Ideologues try a grid powered only by “renewables”
The island of El Hierro only has about 11,000 people, but in 2008 it set out to show the world how to do a full transition to an electric system powered only by wind turbines backed up by a hydro-electric energy storage system. Francis Menton wonders what has happened since.
The analogy between Chairman Mao and current Western leaders
It is impossible not to notice the analogy between the events that led to China’s Great Famine in 1958-1962 and the ongoing energy disaster being imposed on various U.S. states and other Western countries by an equally ignorant clique of political ideologues, says Francis Menton.

Analysis of IPCC report
The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC
The Clintel Foundation has published the book The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC. It’s by far the most important work of its existence. In thirteen chapters we indicate per theme whether the IPCC has done its work well. In short, we conclude that the IPCC has made several serious mistakes.
