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.
Tilak Doshi reviews “The Energy Trap” by Richard Lyon and thinks it is too pessimistic. “It treats present constraints as fixed limits rather than as problems that markets, technology and human creativity have repeatedly transformed for the better.”
In a recent podcast hosted by Tom Nelson, British engineer and former entrepreneur Ed Hoskins presented a detailed critique of Europe’s transition to renewable energy. His central message is that energy policy should be based on measurable performance and engineering calculations rather than political promises.
Former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove has warned that Britain’s approach to energy has left the country dangerously exposed to hostile states, arguing that national security considerations have been pushed aside in the pursuit of Net Zero.
Europe is facing a growing energy challenge that cannot be solved by simply adding more wind and solar power, said energy economist Lars Schernikau in his recent ICSF/Clintel lecture. “Germany could see serious power shortages before the end of the decade.”
L’Europe est confrontée à un défi énergétique croissant qui ne peut être résolu par la simple augmentation de la production d’énergie éolienne et solaire, a déclaré l’économiste de l’énergie Lars Schernikau lors de sa récente conférence ICSF/Clintel. « L’Allemagne pourrait connaître de graves pénuries d’électricité avant la fin de la décennie. »
El geólogo, experto en energía y educador Scott Tinker cuestionó algunos de los supuestos centrales detrás de la transición energética moderna durante su reciente aparición en el popular pódcast Triggernometry: «No existe tal cosa como la energía renovable».
Geologist, energy expert and educator Scott Tinker challenged some of the central assumptions behind the modern energy transition in his recent appearance on the popular podcast Triggernometry: “There’s no such thing as renewable energy.”
Gruppenidentität, sozialer Status und ein von Qualifikationen dominiertes politisches Establishment führen laut Evert Doornhof von Clintel dazu, dass die Klimadebatte zunehmend immun gegen enttäuschende Ergebnisse wird. Die Folge ist eine Klimapolitik-Falle, in der Scheitern nicht zu einem Umdenken, sondern zu noch mehr Klimapolitik führt.
Group identity, social status, and a credential-dominated policy establishment make the climate narrative increasingly immune to disappointing results, argues Evert Doornhof of Clintel. The result is a climate policy trap in which failure doesn't lead to reconsideration, but to even more climate policy.
