The global coalition of scientists say that politics and a journalistic frenzy has propelled a doomsday climate change hysteria. The signatories also ask other scientists to "address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming."
A coalition of 1,609 scientists from around the world have signed a declaration stating "There is no climate emergency" and that they "Strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy" being pushed across the globe.
The declaration, put together by the Global Climate Intelligence Group, was made public this month, urges that "Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific." CLINTEL is an independent foundation that operates in the fields of climate change and climate policy.
In an announcement from CLINTEL, Clauser is quoted as saying "Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists." The underlying report that engendered the declaration lays out a series of statements challenging many of the common climate claims.
Celebrity activist Greta Thunberg tweeted in 2018 - five years after Gore's doomsday prediction - that "Climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years." The Highland County Press reported that she deleted the tweet.
The signatories to the CLINTEL declaration say that global warming is "far slower than predicted," and that "inadequate models" often guide climate policy.
The CLINTEL declaration comes at a time when recent claims abound that natural disasters such as the wildfires in Maui and Canada, the heatwaves across the globe and other events are driven by climate change.
The declaration goes on to challenge the ever-ready blame on climate change, stating "There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent.
