“Complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce temperature by only 0.05°C”

By Clintel Foundation|2026-04-29T22:24:36+02:00April 30, 2026|

In a recent lecture prof. William Happer showed that even the complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce global temperatures by only about 0.05°C. The effect is so small that it calls into question the justification for aggressive mitigation policies targeting these methane producing animals, like cows.

We are nowhere near a Climate Tipping Point

By Clintel Foundation|2026-04-29T10:30:50+02:00April 29, 2026|

A recent paper predicts an irreversible disaster beyond which the planet would become unbearably hot. But a careful look at the evidence reveals this claim to be absurd, with no sign that we are currently anywhere close to such a climate tipping point.

The European Union and the UK increasingly resemble the late Soviet Union

By Clintel Foundation|2026-04-25T16:41:53+02:00April 26, 2026|

Western Europe’s ancien régime will not endure very much longer. Populist-conservative parties have been gaining ground across the continent over the past several years precisely because the lived reality of the majority contradicts elite doctrine. Yet until voters enforce a return to economic literacy, rational energy policy and national sovereignty, Western Europe and Britain will continue its Soviet-style trajectory.

European energy policy: full speed towards the wall

By Evert Doornhof|2026-04-24T20:46:41+02:00April 25, 2026|

What do you do when you realise you are heading in the wrong direction? Hit the brakes, right? In Europe, this is not the case. Instead, the answer of European leaders is to accelerate further, opting for an energy transition that is even faster, more ambitious, and more radical. In the meantime, the problems are piling up. A summary of the key facts, makes you wonder desperately: why isn't anyone hitting the brakes?

Abuse of Science: Extreme Event Attribution Studies

By Clintel Foundation|2026-04-23T16:06:48+02:00April 24, 2026|

Both the mainstream media and government reports have latched on to Event Attribution to fan the flames of climate alarmism. But such studies are deeply flawed, with errors in both science and inter¬pretation, having been created for legal and political rather than scientific reasons, says Ralph Alexander.

New paper: U.S. temperature extremes have declined since 1899

By Clintel Foundation|2026-04-22T16:00:08+02:00April 23, 2026|

The key takeaway from a new paper by John Christy is that the story of temperature extremes in the U.S. is more complicated than often presented.

Sustainability is the problem, not the solution

By Marcel Crok|2026-04-21T15:37:35+02:00April 22, 2026|

In recent weeks, a common refrain in Europe has been that if we had only focused more aggressively on 'renewable' energy sources, we would not find ourselves in such a vulnerable position because of the war in Iran. But is this claim true? Dutch science journalist and Clintel director Marcel Crok argues the opposite: it is precisely Europe's fixation on climate policy and CO2 reduction that has left us exposed and contributed to the current energy mess.

“Bringing youth into the climate realist fold”

By Peter Baeten|2026-04-20T09:06:06+02:00April 21, 2026|

At the recent Heartland Conference, there was a special session called Bringing youth into the climate realist fold. How are younger generations engaging with climate issues and shaping the future conversation? Two interesting speakers were Lucy Biggers, who used to hang out with Greta Thunberg, and Chris Martz, who has been called the ‘Anti Greta Thunberg’.
