Interview with Mike Sankey
Name: Mike Sankey
Country: South Africa
What is your background?
I am a registered PMP (Project Management Professional) as well as a Professional Quantity Surveyor, so I hold a BSc QS Hons. I have been in the construction industry since qualifying in 1988. I have completed a number of diploma courses including Geology, Palaeontology, Meteorology, Oceanography, Earths Science, Environmental Management and Permaculture.
Since when and why are you interested in climate change?
I have always had an interest and considered the narrative. It really took shape during COVID. I was working for a University to deliver a hospital in Uganda, and as a result was able to receive the academic papers on COVID. My view is that this was also a disingenuous information scam. I saw that Oxford University research group did not understand maths and was predicting 10% fatality when suddenly they realised that anyone checking would see they misplaced the decimal point. Nothing we were told made sense and in fact everything the WHO told us was exactly the opposite of what was required. In South Africa, where I live, the rules were complete idiot. And no, the virus did not come from some bat eating lady in China. It was man made with US financial backing. So far the score is 40-0 to the conspiracy theorists.
How did your views on climate change evolve?
I watched The Inconvenient Truth and the sequel, dragged my family to watch both and thought this was leading edge science, except it wasn’t and is just rhetoric with a political and financial motivation. The more you investigate the science the more this turns out to be true.
Is climate change a big issue in your country and how do you notice this?
Why do you use the term Climate Change? What we are talking about is global warming/boiling/end of the world by 2030. I object to paying for phony taxation, like carbon tax for road use.
What would climate policy ideally look like in your view?
Why do we need a climate policy? It is naive to think that we humans can affect the climate. Geo-engineering is a mistake, and this is just being harnessed for military means. These systems can alter local weather only and do not have an effect on Climate.
What is your motivation to sign the CLINTEL World Climate Declaration?
So that my offspring may be able to look back and say at least someone of their older generation was fighting for them.
What question did we forget?
Is there global warming? Who is responsible or is this a natural phenomenon? Is there climate change?

Judge Rejects Climate Dogma, Begins to Restore Integrity
In a significant move for scientific accountability, a U.S. federal judge has removed a controversial climate change chapter from a key judicial reference manual. The decision challenges the dominance of model-based climate narratives in the courts and signals a renewed emphasis on empirical evidence and institutional integrity.
Ed Miliband is the last fool standing on Net Zero
As the United States moves to reconsider key climate regulations, Britain’s aggressive push toward Net Zero is drawing increasing scrutiny. In this commentary, Matt Ridley argues that unilateral decarbonisation risks leaving the UK economically isolated while much of the world shifts course.
Climate change computer projections are manifestly false and dangerously misleading
The alleged threat to the planet from human caused climate change has been at the forefront of Australian politics over the recent half century. Every year, just before meetings of the UN Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Climate Change Convention, slight increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature are portrayed in the media as harbingers of future doom. Every extreme weather event is made out to be an ill omen of what is to come unless fossil fuels are eliminated.
