The International Scientific Conference of the
Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech
Republic in Prague assembled on the Twelfth and Thirteenth Days of November
2024, has resolved and now declares as follows, that is to say –
1. The modest increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide that
has taken place since the end of the Little Ice Age has been net-beneficial to
humanity.
2. Foreseeable future increases in greenhouse gases in the air will probably
also prove net-beneficial.
3. The rate and amplitude of global warming have been and will continue to be
appreciably less than climate scientists have long predicted.
4. The Sun, and not greenhouse gases, has contributed and will continue to
contribute the overwhelming majority of global temperature.
5. Geological evidence compellingly suggests that the rates and amplitude of
global warming during the industrial era are neither unprecedented nor
unusual.
6. Climate models are inherently incapable of telling us anything about how
much global warming there will be or about whether or to what extent the
warming has a natural or anthropogenic cause.
7. Global warming will likely continue to be slow, small, harmless and
net-beneficial.
8. There is broad agreement among the scientific community that extreme
weather events have not increased in frequency, intensity or duration and are
in future unlikely to do so.
9. Though global population has increased fourfold over the past century,
annually averaged deaths attributable to any climate-related or
weather-related event have declined by 99%.
10. Global climate-related financial losses, expressed as a percentage of
global annual gross domestic product, have declined and continue to decline
notwithstanding the increase in built infrastructure in harm’s way.
11. Despite trillions of dollars spent chiefly in Western countries on
emissions abatement, global temperature has continued to rise since 1990.
12. Even if all nations, rather than chiefly western nations, were to move
directly and together from the current trajectory to net zero emissions by the
official target year of 2050, the global warming prevented by that year would
be no more than 0.05 to 0.1 Celsius.
13. If the Czech Republic, the host of this conference, were to move directly
to net zero emissions by 2050, it would prevent only 1/4000 of a degree of
warming by that target date.
14. Based pro rata on the estimate by the UK national grid authority that
preparing the grid for net zero would cost $3.8 trillion (the only such
estimate that is properly-costed), and on the fact that the grid accounts for
25% of UK emissions, and that UK emissions account for 0.8% of global
emissions, the global cost of attaining net zero would approach $2
quadrillion, equivalent to 20 years’ global annual GDP.
15. On any grid where the installed nameplate capacity of wind and solar power
exceeds the mean demand on that grid, adding any further wind or solar power
will barely reduce grid CO2 emissions but will greatly increase
the cost of electricity and yet will reduce the revenues earned by both new
and existing wind and solar generators.
16. The resources of techno-metals required to achieve global net zero
emissions are entirely insufficient even for one 15-year generation of net
zero infrastructure, so that net zero is in practice unattainable.
17. Since wind and solar power are costly, intermittent and more
environmentally destructive per TWh generated than any other energy source,
governments should cease to subsidize or to prioritize them, and should
instead expand coal, gas and, above, all nuclear generation.
18. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which excludes participants
and published papers disagreeing with its narrative, fails to comply with its
own error-reporting protocol and draws conclusions some of which are
dishonest, should be forthwith dismantled.
Therefore, this conference hereby declares
and affirms that the imagined and imaginary ‘climate emergency’ is at an end.
This conference calls upon the entire scientific community to cease and desist
from its persecution of scientists and researchers who disagree with the
current official narrative on climate change and instead to encourage once
again the long and noble tradition of free, open and uncensored scientific
research, investigation, publication and discussion.
Given under our signs manual this Thirteenth Day of November in the Year of
our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty- Four.
