For John, BLUF: Science is slowly emerging from a period of suppression. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) “calls upon the entire scientific community to cease and desist from its persecution of scientists and researchers who disagree with the current official narrative.”
From Legal Insurrection, by Leslie Eastman, Monday, 25 November 2024 at 10:00am.
Here is the lede plus six:
Legal Insurrection readers will recall that in my post on the United Nations climate conference in Azerbaijan this week, its president boldly declared that oil and gas were a ‘gift from God’.
The eco-activists attending the event were enraged.
The climate cultists will likely be working themselves up into even more hysteria because of another climate conference that occurred mid-November in the Czech Republic city of Prague.
The Czech division of the International Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) organized a two-day climate conference in Prague on November 12-13, 2024, where climate scientists declared that the “climate emergency” is over. The conference concluded with a communiqué drafted by the participating scientists and researchers that targeted the climate hysteria promoted by the United Nations body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
‘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.’
This declaration supports the conclusions of the major Clintel report, The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC.
Moreover, the scientists at the conference declared that even if all nations moved straight to net zero emissions, by the 2050 target date the world would be only about 0.1 C cooler than with no emissions reduction.
Later the article says:
The declaration has 18 different point referencing climate science and facts that counter the narratives being pushed by the IPCC and those who want to push their green agendas. I have listed the first six below (which should be familiar to Legal Insurrection readers); there remainder can be found in the copy of the declaration.
Here are the first three:
- 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.
-
Foreseeable future increases in greenhouse gases in the air will probably also prove net-beneficial.
-
The rate and amplitude of global warming have been and will continue to be appreciably less than climate scientists have long predicted.
Ms Greta Thunberg must be appoplectic. This is a direct confrontation with those who believe climate change is real.
Science has alwys been the fight of insurrectionists against the establishment, even when the establishment thought of itself as "science". We have only to look at Dr Fsauci and the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases fighting agaist the Great Barrington Declaration.♠ And, now, climate change. I am so old I can remember when the big fear was global cooling.
As this chart shows, COVID did not hit every nation the same. And, Sweden, with a different approach, did better than the United States, with it svaccines and lockdowns.
For it to be science, there must be a free exchange of ideas, with each side getting a chance to make a fair presentation of its ideas. The use of ipse dixit is not science.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠ In the US the Federal Government, comfortable in its assessment of the situation, worked to suppress alternative idea, thus suppressing the scientific method.
