On 28th August, Clintel, that describes itself as an independent climate change policy organization, released a 'World Climate Declaration' (WCD) denouncing Climate Emergency. The declaration has been signed by over 1200 signatories from around the world, who are experts in various fields related to climate change and environment studies. The WCD is led by Nobel Laureate Professor Ivar Giaever a renowned physicist and engineer.
This World Climate Declaration questions the integrity of data already published in relation to proving the existence of climate change and its effect on people and the environment. They claim that climate sciences have been overrun by politics and must focus more on empirical science rather than "discussion-based beliefs."
However, thousands of scientists across the globe disagree.
1200 Signatories: Fishermen and a Cardiologist?
Clintel is a known climate science denial group that is based in Netherlands, founded by a retired Professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and the journalist Marcel Crok. Clintel has been vehemently denying climate change since 2019. The organization was investigated into by DeSmog, a blog focused on global warming, and it was found that majority of the 'climate and environment' scientists supporting the organization 'have done little to no research on climate change.'
DeSmog analyzed the list of signatories and ambassadors under Clintel and "found a commercial fisherman, a retired chemist, a cardiologist, and an air-conditioning engineer, alongside a number of retired oil and gas geologists." A number of the supporters of this group also have ties to fossil fuel lobbyists and free-market groups that have previously been against green policies and climate action.
In the list of 1200 signatories of this particular declaration, a number of signatories are from the oil and gas industry, and eight have been found to be former or current shell corporation employees, according to David Vetter, Forbes Sustainability Senior Contributor. The Declaration itself has decided to focus on a few issues regarding climate change, but has failed to provide any scientific or statistical backing to their own claims.
WCD has expressed its express disdain for climate models. They state that the climate models are are dependent on the assumptions of theoreticians and programmers, that in 'mainstream climate science' majority of this input is undeclared.
