EU Outrage Over Maduro Arrest Exposes Deep Ignorance About the Oil Industry
Europe’s reaction to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro reveals deep misunderstandings about the oil industry, energy geopolitics and economic reality. Professor Samuele Furfari explains why EU media narratives distort the truth about Venezuela and oil.
25 Years of Climate Data Show No Increase in Weather Disasters
In this article, Dr. Matthew Wielicki examines official disaster data from the past 25 years, which show no increase in global extreme weather events despite rising CO₂ levels and record temperatures. The analysis explores what the climate data reveal and why they challenge prevailing climate narratives.
Climate Models vs Observations: Tropical Troposphere Trends 1979–2025
Climatologist Roy W. Spencer, PhD examines tropical tropospheric temperature trends (1979–2025) and finds a persistent gap between climate model projections and observations from satellites and radiosondes. His analysis raises questions about climate sensitivity and model reliability.

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.

Steven Koonin now also believes that the worst of the climate hysteria is behind us
In a recent ICSF/Clintel lecture, Professor Steven Koonin argued that global climate and energy policy is at a tipping point. After decades of emphasis on rapid and far-reaching emission reductions, he sees clear signs of a shift toward greater realism and pragmatism, including in climate reporting. After all, economic, technological, and social realities are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
Ongoing Attacks on Livestock Methane Emissions Based on Faulty Science
In this analysis, Ralph B. Alexander challenges the science behind livestock methane emissions and argues that farmers are being targeted based on flawed assumptions and misleading metrics.
