| Dear members of the WCD Community A group of scientists from the Clintel network has worked very hard on an extensive analysis of the IPCC AR6 Report. We are happy to announce that we have now finished our work. The end result is the 180-page report The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC. In it we document many biases and errors in the IPCC AR6 report. The press release starts like this: Thorough analysis by Clintel shows serious errors in latest IPCC report The IPCC ignored crucial peer-reviewed literature showing that normalised disaster losses have decreased since 1990 and that human mortality due to extreme weather has decreased by more than 95% since 1920. The IPCC, by cherry picking from the literature, drew the opposite conclusions, claiming increases in damage and mortality due to anthropogenic climate change. These are two important conclusions of the report The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC, published by the Clintel Foundation. The 180-page report is – as far as we know – the first serious international ‘assessment’ of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report. In 13 chapters the Clintel report shows the IPCC rewrote climate history, emphasizes an implausible worst-case scenario, has a huge bias in favour of ‘bad news’ and against ‘good news’, and keeps the good news out of the Summary for Policy Makers. The errors and biases that Clintel documents in the report are far worse than those that led to the investigation of the IPCC by the Interacademy Councel (IAC Review) in 2010. Clintel believes that the IPCC should reform or be dismantled. The full press release will be distributed tomorrow but you can already read it here. The full report can be downloaded from the Clintel website here. Support this work by Clintel Clintel has been doing this work with a minimum of funding and we thank the many volunteers who contributed to the report. We are planning to write more chapters about the AR6 report and also we need funding to spread the word. Please consider to make a donationfor the very important work we are doing or consider to become Friend of Clintel. |

| Clintel wants to be and to remain a fully indepedent think tank. This means ideally our funding comes from a (very) large group of individuals and SME’s (small and medium-sized enterprises). An important basis for us is our community of Friends of Clintel. These are donators that donate yearly at least 100 euros. We now have around 400 Friends of Clintel, mainly in The Netherlands (350) and the rest all around the world (50). We have noticed that relatively few signees of the World Climate Declaration are also Friend of Clintel. Imagine how much more impact we could have if all WCD signees would also become Friend of Clintel. We have plans to start a weekly video show, but to do this, a larger suppport base would be very helpful. Also, with many more Friends of Clintel we could start organising a European Clintel conference. So please consider to become Friend of Clintel. If that amount is too much you can also decide to do a lower one time donation or a one time or monthly donation by PayPal. Many thanks in advance for your help and support! Guus Berkhout & Marcel Crok (founders of Clintel) |
Clintel is an Amsterdam (The Netherlands) based thinktank founded in 2019 by Dutch emeritus professor Guus Berkhout and science writer Marcel Crok. Clintel operates as a climate science and climate policy watchdog. In its first year it launched the World Climate Declaration, stating firmly “there is no climate emergency”. That declaration is now signed by 1550 scientists and experts.
Clintel wants to be independent from governments as these are the main funders of climate science and policy. In practice it means we need broad support from citizens and small and medium enterprises around the world.
