Yet more proof that Mother Nature is far worse than man-made climate change
New research suggests that prolonged natural drought — not ecological self-destruction — played a decisive role in the cultural transformation of Easter Island. Using hydrogen isotopes preserved in leaf wax, scientists reconstructed centuries of rainfall data, revealing a severe 16th-century drought that challenges the popular narrative of human-driven collapse.
Clearing up some misconceptions about the DoE report
After environmental groups sued to halt a critical Department of Energy climate report, accusations of secrecy and political bias quickly followed. Ross McKitrick responds by challenging what he calls widespread misconceptions about the project, defending its transparency, scientific grounding and editorial independence.
India Builds a ‘Fossil Future’
While Western governments continue to speak the language of net zero, India is rapidly expanding coal, oil and natural gas production to secure long-term energy security and economic growth. By strengthening hydrocarbon trade with the United States and other partners, India is building what the author calls a “fossil future,” prioritizing reliable and affordable energy over climate pledges.
Interview with Dr. Guus Berkhout: A Different Perspective on Climate Science and Energy Policy
The big problem today is that climate models are not fit-for-purpose, says Clintel co-founder dr. Guus Berkhout. They do not reflect the real world. That is the reason why the Net Zero policy does not work. We need fundamental changes in climate science and climate policies. We now see that this message gets more and more support.

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.
ABOUT CLINTEL
Climate Intelligence Foundation
Climate Intelligence (Clintel) is an independent foundation informing people about climate change and climate policies. Clintel was founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok. Clintel’s main objective is to generate knowledge and understanding of the causes and effects of climate change as well as the effects of climate policy on the economy and the environment.
