Amsterdam, November 1, 2022
Your Excellencies:
By the 12 months 2030, historians will marvel with amazement the way it might occur that the UN in earlier a long time had proposed far-reaching climate-related measures that completely did not arrest international warming, however as an alternative would have the unintended consequence of an unprecedented adverse influence on the world’s prosperity and well-being.
They will marvel why many individuals at the moment unquestioningly believed in an “existential local weather disaster.” That disaster narrative was primarily based on outdated “over-heated” laptop fashions, in flip broadly supported by mainstream media. They may think about it past perception {that a} senior UN official in September 2022 audaciously declared that “we personal the science, and we predict the world ought to realize it and the (social media) platforms additionally.”
Certainly, why did the UN and IPCC ignore Clintel letters (the latest in October 2021), clearly declaring critical scientific flaws within the IPCC Sixth Evaluation Report? Why did IPCC refuse any open debate on these flaws? Does the UN not understand that Clintel’s international community now embodies better goal scientific data than exists inside IPCC?
They will marvel why the world didn’t loudly protest the unfold of the superstition that local weather science was absolutely understood (“The Science is Settled”, the UN and politicians declared). That superstition regrettably led to laws on completely pointless social engineering measures with net-zero CO2 targets (“mitigation”).
Certainly, why didn’t the UN then wish to let the world see that the mitigation measures they proposed have been scientifically nonsensical, technically unfeasible, economically unaffordable and, in the end, socially unacceptable?
And why did they not admit that mitigation even at a world scale – as already confirmed within the pandemic of 2020 – would have imperceptible impact on local weather?
And why did additionally they not need the world to learn about the truth that CO2 is an important constructing block for all times on earth? Extra CO2 is indispensable in making the earth greener. all of the info, extra CO2 is more likely to convey internet advantages than internet hurt!
They will even marvel why an especially costly transition to intermittent renewables was pursued with out realizing that the transition would result in main financial issues.
Certainly, why didn’t individuals then acknowledge that dependable power provide with photo voltaic panels and wind generators was technically not possible with out the long run availability of reasonably priced large-scale electrical power storage?
And why then didn’t individuals acknowledge that mass era of photo voltaic and wind power would create a critical scarcity on supplies reminiscent of copper and neodymium.
And why then have been standard fossil gasoline energy crops banned, significantly in Africa, whereas there was as but no reasonably priced and dependable different? A lot of the intense power disaster was erroneously blamed on the warfare in Ukraine; the truth nonetheless was that world leaders had not promoted funding in standard dependable energy era to keep up financial well-being and societal stability.
Luckily, right now it isn’t but 2030 and we nonetheless have time to make the required adjustments. What is required to make that occur?
Listed here are three ideas for you, the worldwide political leaders:
- Depoliticize local weather science, discarding laptop fashions that don’t match actuality, focusing as an alternative on real-world local weather observations and the most recent local weather science, listening rigorously to goal interventions from unbiased consultants.
- Change local weather coverage from the mindless mitigation strategy to the profitable adaptation methodology. Mitigation is prohibitively costly and has by no means saved a single human life and can do little or no to change an ever-changing local weather. Adaptation, then again, is reasonably priced, could be exactly centered and has already saved thousands and thousands of lives. Adaptation is undoubtedly the best way to go in local weather coverage.
- Spend money on extending and replenishing the world’s oil & fuel reserves. Be real looking, the world will nonetheless want oil and fuel for a number of a long time. In parallel, go full steam forward with creating nuclear energy, the power supply of the long run.
Expensive Excellencies, you might be assembly at COP27 in Egypt in early November, apparently to advertise continuation of failed international local weather coverage. It could be against the law towards the African individuals to require them to base their power system on intermittent wind and solar energy. In spite of everything, that might push the greater than 1.3 billion individuals there additional into poverty. Financial growth can’t occur with out reasonably priced and dependable power provides.
Africa should make full use of reasonably priced indigenous fossil fuels for energy era, with a future plan for a community of recent nuclear energy crops. With loads of reasonably priced power, the provision of unpolluted consuming water may also be assured.
Subsequent, full efforts must be made to use adaptation know-how, particularly for rising tailored crops (“precision farming”) and for securing towards excessive climate (“danger minimization”). These, as you effectively know, are the true and pressing wants of Africa.
The above factors are the messages from Clintel to the entire international political leaders arriving of their personal jets to attend the COP27 assembly within the luxurious resort of Sharm El-Sheikh. We beg you, our political leaders, to be conscientious of the every day realities of grinding poverty of the forgotten individuals dwelling on the African continent within the shadow of your flightpath.
On behalf of the Clintel ambassadors,
Guus Berkhout
President of Clintel
