Clintel News Climate Intelligence (Clintel) is an independent foundation informing people about climate change and climate policies. World Climate Declaration.
Finally, we see a few key topics hitting the media in Australia, says Jo Nova. National Party leader Canavan even talks about the thousand-year supply of brown coal, and also about a method of turning coal to liquid fuel.
In May 2023, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, declared that the fossil-fuel-based growth model is “simply obsolete.” The partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz starkly exposes the irony of that statement, says Samuel Furfari.
Spanish geologist and new World Climate Declaration signatory Enrique Ortega brings decades of experience in earth sciences to the climate debate, emphasizing the importance of geological history in understanding present-day climate change.
A new paper shows that in the USA, cold weather is a much larger contributor to mortality than heat, and that social vulnerability plays a major role in determining outcomes.
A new report from the World Meteorological Organization once again led to apocalyptic headlines in the newspapers last week. Unintentionally, writes Marcel Crok, the report opens the door to the most important factor in our climate: the sun.
The idea that wind and solar power can easily replace fossil fuels sounds appealing. But behind this optimistic narrative lie complex technical challenges, such as intermittency, grid stability, and the crucial roles of synchronization and inertia in maintaining a reliable electricity system, concludes Francis Menton after a powerful presentation by Kathryn Porter.
As Dr. Matthew Wielicki dryly put it: “Is there anything CO₂ can’t do?” The study behind that remark claims that rising CO₂ levels may even lead to regional cooling under certain conditions—highlighting just how flexible—and uncertain—climate model outcomes can be.
Extreme weather attribution studies are based on flawed logic and misleading statistical practices, according to a new report by The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF). Author Ralph B. Alexander argues that these studies, which link individual weather events to climate change, are driven more by political and legal agendas than by robust scientific evidence.
In this article, Australian science writer Jo Nova examines China’s rapidly expanding coal-to-chemicals and coal-to-liquids industry. While much of the West focuses on phasing out fossil fuels, China is quietly transforming coal into fuels, plastics and fertilizers at massive scale—raising important questions about energy security and global climate policy.
New research from ancient Antarctic ice cores is challenging long-held assumptions about the role of carbon dioxide in Earth’s climate history. Evidence suggests that CO₂ and methane levels remained remarkably stable over millions of years—even as the planet experienced dramatic temperature shifts. These findings raise fresh questions about the extent to which greenhouse gases alone can explain past and present climate change.
