In his second presentation for Clintel on October 11th, Roger Pielke Jr. explained how an extreme emissions scenario, originally designed to explore a possible future, became one of the dominant assumptions in climate research and policy.
It is impossible not to notice the analogy between the events that led to China’s Great Famine in 1958-1962 and the ongoing energy disaster being imposed on various U.S. states and other Western countries by an equally ignorant clique of political ideologues, says Francis Menton.
Among voters backing Democratic House candidates, 66% still call environment and climate policy very important. Among Republican backers, 15% do, says Charles Rotter.

The climate house of cards is collapsing, as became clear last week at the IPCC meeting in Ethiopia. The climate narrative has never had any substance, and now that the flow of funding is being cut off, there will soon be nothing left, says Wim Röst, Chair of the Clintel Board.
In his recent presentation The Capture of Academia – The Case of Climate Change, for the Omniwar Symposium, Swedish researcher Jacob Nordangård argues that the rise of anthropogenic global warming as the dominant explanation for climate change, was shaped by influential philanthropic foundations, research institutions and political networks.
Chris Morrison, the Environment Editor of the Daily Sceptic, has written a new book, now available on Amazon. It is called IMPLAUSIBLE: How scientists, activist politicians and journalists invented a climate crisis, weaponised junk computer model findings and claimed a fake consensus to promote the collectivist Net Zero fantasy. Below, you can read some extracts from the book.
Reports that climate change is the biggest threat to tourism are nonsense, says Linnea Lueken.
Michigan sued the industry that powered its own prosperity, but failed. The U.S. Justice Department, that has spent the past year fighting a nationwide wave of climate suits, commented: “This dismissal should make states rethink the use of lawfare to enact climate change policy.”
Dutch engineer, entrepreneur and climate researcher Theo Wolters used his presentation at the EIKE Conference to challenge one of the central assumptions underlying current climate policy: that science has conclusively established that human CO2 emissions are responsible for the recent global warming and that this warming is potentially catastrophic.
