Clintel News Climate Intelligence (Clintel) is an independent foundation informing people about climate change and climate policies. World Climate Declaration.
Is the Mediterranean really a climate hotspot? Drawing on long-term hydroclimatic observations, Demetris Koutsoyiannis and Theano Iliopoulou revisit the evidence and highlight the region’s striking climatic complexity.
Claims that today’s Arctic or global temperatures are unprecedented in the Holocene are still widely repeated in scientific literature. In this article, Andy May examines temperature proxy records and shows that both the magnitude and the rate of warming during the Holocene have been misrepresented.
In 2011, BBC viewers were told that polar bears in the Barents Sea were starving due to climate-driven sea ice loss. Later scientific evidence shows that this portrayal was inconsistent with data already available at the time.
Surface temperatures in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica have cooled for decades, defying the projections of leading climate models and puzzling researchers worldwide. In this article, physicist Ralph B. Alexander examines three recent studies that propose strikingly different explanations for this unexpected climate anomaly.
Large-scale lithium-ion battery storage is expanding rapidly, often with limited public discussion of safety and environmental risks. The article below examines a recent white paper by engineer Richard Ellenbogen that analyzes these risks, particularly when such facilities are sited in densely populated or environmentally sensitive areas.
Estonian journalist, translator, and editor Tõnu Kalvet has signed the World Climate Declaration, joining a growing network of professionals questioning prevailing climate narratives. In this interview, he explains why he believes climate policy has become ideological, how it affects energy prices in Estonia, and why he calls for a stronger focus on real environmental problems such as pollution.
Germany is nearing a potential energy emergency as gas reserves fall and heavy industries face possible shutdowns. Critics argue the looming economic damage is less the result of harsh winter conditions than of years of far-reaching policy decisions. What is unfolding now may be the consequence of strategic choices that have left Europe’s largest economy increasingly vulnerable.
Seven years after Dutch skeptics first challenged KNMI's temperature adjustments, the institute has reinstated seven "lost" pre-1950 heatwaves at De Bilt — validating claims of over-correction that had erased 16 out of 23 historical extremes. The breakthrough came via the skeptics' peer-reviewed paper.
Tomáš Elbert, an organic chemist from the Czech Republic, is among the latest signatories of CLINTEL’s World Climate Declaration. In this interview, he explains his scientific background, his views on climate change, and why he believes open debate is essential.
While Europe and the United Nations pursue aggressive climate policies, developing nations are choosing a different path. For billions of people, affordable and reliable energy — not climate targets — remains the overriding priority.
