The 2023 climate event revealed the greatest failure of climate science
Instead of trying to determine the causes (Hunga Tonga!) of the extraordinary climate events of 2023, scientists have attempted to fit them into the dominant theory using models, writes Javier Vinos. In doing so, they demonstrate the failure of that theory.
Offshore wind turbines steal each other’s wind: yields greatly overestimated
The energy yields of offshore wind turbines are overestimated by up to 50% in national policy documents. This conclusion is based on an analysis of operational data from 72 wind farms.
Six Impossible Things to Believe
Like Alice’s White Queen, European and Spanish authorities want us to believe six impossible things about climate change and the energy transition.
Hiding the Pea, Revisited: Remove the Scenario, Keep the Result
What happens when the framework changes but the outcome stays the same? This article revisits a controversial glacier loss study to explore exactly that question.

Analysis of IPCC report
The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC
The Clintel Foundation has published the book The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC. It’s by far the most important work of its existence. In thirteen chapters we indicate per theme whether the IPCC has done its work well. In short, we conclude that the IPCC has made several serious mistakes.
ABOUT CLINTEL
Climate Intelligence Foundation
Climate Intelligence (Clintel) is an independent foundation informing people about climate change and climate policies. Clintel was founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok. Clintel’s main objective is to generate knowledge and understanding of the causes and effects of climate change as well as the effects of climate policy on the economy and the environment.

Dismantlement of South Africa’s Ferrochrome Industry
South Africa’s once dominant ferrochrome industry is on the brink of collapse and requires a government bailout. That decline is not because the world no longer needs ferrochrome. It is because South Africa’s leaders tied their industrial policy to a “green” agenda that undermines reliable, affordable energy and sacrifices economic strength.
“Should LCOE finally be retired from energy policy?”
“The LCOE narrative has just collided with reality. If ‘cheap’ solar and wind really were enough, the energy transition would largely run on autopilot. Emissions would fall. Subsidies wouldn’t be needed. Electricity would get cheaper. None of that is happening.” – Jonas Kristiansen Nøland, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
