Germany Nears Energy Emergency — And Policy Failure Is to Blame

By Clintel Foundation|February 4, 2026|Tags: Energiewende, Energy policy, European economy, Germany energy crisis, Natural gas|

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.

Dutch climate skeptics vindicated: KNMI reinstates seven pre-1950 heatwaves after long battle

By Marcel Crok|February 4, 2026|Tags: Climate data, Heatwaves, KNMI, Netherlands, temperature adjustments|

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.
