The IPCC’s doomsday scenario is dead, but not yet buried

By |2026-05-08T17:43:20+02:00May 6, 2026|

Finally, the IPCC’s doomsday scenario is being tossed in the trash. The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant deemed the news important enough for the front page. Marcel Crok wrote as early as 2018 that the IPCC’s extreme scenario was untenable. However, the wheels of science turn slowly, and so it took more than eight years for this insight to be recognized by the scientific community.

Samuel Furfari on COP’s and climate policy: “Just blah blah”

By |2026-05-06T15:39:41+02:00May 5, 2026|

In a recent podcast with Tom Nelson, energy expert Prof. Samuel Furfari speaks about the nonsense of COP’s and of climate policy in general. But he is also cautiously optimistic about the future: “If the next UN leader comes from Africa or Asia rather than Europe, they may adopt a more pragmatic and ‘sober vision’ of climate policy.”

South Korea’s Net Zero Boast Crumbles

South Korea must end sacrificing growth, stability, and innovation at the altar of unverifiable climate fantasy, says Vijay Jayaraj. The country remains dependent on fossil fuels by necessity.

“Timbit” Carbon Taxes and Net Zero Goals Limit Canadian Economy

By |2026-05-02T02:28:58+02:00May 3, 2026|

The Canadian Climate Institute claims that the industrial carbon price amounts to only a “Timbit" per barrel of costs (value ~CAD 0.50) and that there is almost "zero" economic impact on households; these claims are disputed by Friends of Science Society in a new video explainer, "Timbit Carbon Tax".

Decline in total energy production key factor in German CO2 reduction, not renewables

By |2026-04-30T21:52:08+02:00May 2, 2026|

The reduction of CO2 emissions in Germany by approximately 46% in the years 2007–2023 was not the result of a simple substitution of coal with renewable sources. It was primarily conditioned by a drastic drop in the total amount of energy produced.

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

By |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 |2026-05-04T11:03:11+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.
