Unsettling Climate and Energy
By prof Steven E. Koonin
Organisation: Clintel
Location: Antropia, Driebergen
Koonin erkent dat klimaat verandert, maar het waarom en hoe, zijn lang niet zo duidelijk als men je wil doen geloven. Zijn centrale stelling is dan ook dat de informatiestroom vanuit de klimaatwetenschap naar de politiek en de media ernstig is gecorrumpeerd door misverstanden én verkeerde voorstellingen van zaken. Heel bijzonder is dat deze kritiek nu eens uit ‘onverdachte hoek’ komt. Koonin is immers een zeer vooraanstaand wetenschapper uit de Verenigde Staten, lid van de National Academy of Science, maar hij was óók staatssecretaris klimaat en energie onder President Obama.
Voor zijn biografie zie: https://ourenergytransition.eu/steven-koonin/
Koonin vindt dat het grote publiek geregeld misleid wordt over de staat van het klimaat en over het nut van klimaatbeleid. Kernvragen – bijvoorbeeld over de manier waarop het klimaat reageert op onze invloed, wat de gevolgen zullen zijn en wat een goede respons zou zijn – blijven grotendeels onbeantwoord. Koonin tekende deze visie op in het boek Unsettled. Uitgeverij Succesboeken.nl brengt nu dus in samenwerking met Clintel de Nederlandse vertaling uit.

European Energy – back to the Future of the Past!
By Dr Samual Furfari
Organisation webinar: ICSF and Clintel
Dr Samuel Furfari is a distinguished analyst on energy supply and security, with a deep understanding of the associated geopolitics. He will focus on the growing costs and insecurity of energy supply in Europe arising from the ill-considered rush to renewables.
He will argue that affordable and reliable energy supply is key to Europe’s future, just as it was in the past, and that national and European politicians need to understand this. His views will also be highly relevant to countries like the US and Australia, where politicians have yet to learn of the unintended consequences of “Green Deals”.

Klimaatbeleid duurder en gevaarlijker dan klimaatverandering
Holland Gold interview van Paul Buitink en Sven Kuijpers met Marcel Crok (Clintel)
Wat zijn de kosten en baten van de energietransitie?
Is de energietransitie een rationeel antwoord op klimaatverandering?

Klimaatcrisis: echt of niet?
Diepgaande analyse van de achtergronden van het klimaatalarmisme
The Trueman Swow 109 – Gesprek tussen Marcel Crok (Clintel) en Jorn Luka
Eigenlijk gaat het gesprek niet over de climaatcrisis, maar over de achtergronden van klimaatalarmisme:
Wat is het historisch perspectief?
Hoe is het ontstaan?
Welke krachten spelen op de achtergrond?
Wat is de rol van de wetenschap?
Welke rol speelt de pers?
Wat zijn de hardnekkige misverstanden over klimaatverandering?
Tijdens het gesprek worden veel nuttige boeken genoemd waarmee nog meer inzicht verkregen kan worden.
Zie de vorige twee lezingen [15, Nederlands, Crok] en [14, Happer, Engels] voor uitleg over de stand van de klimaatwetenschap en de werkelijke invloed van CO2.

Er is geen klimaatcrisis!
Klimaatverandering: dit zijn de feiten
Lezing van Marcel Crok (Clintel)
Marcel Crok bespreekt de wetenschappelijke feiten over klimaatverandering door CO2, en legt uit wat de waarnemingen ons vertellen over de voor- en nadelen van ene hogere CO2 concentratie.

How to think about climate change
Lecture by William Happer, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study
Organised by Clintel
Location: Amsterdam, Schiphol-Rijk
William Happer is one of the very few recognised top scientists with a solid background in physics and in the radiation properties of CO2 in the atmosphere.
He explains that science acknowledges that CO2 – in itself – is warming the atmosphere: probably less than 1 degree Celsius per doubling of CO2 concentration.
Higher “climate sensitivity” for CO2 cannot be made plausible by science, and climate is far too complicated to assume that a theoretical warming “in itself” will also translate to this amount of warming in reality.
The lecture explains the physics of the greenhouse effect to laymen, and also points out the great advantages of the rising CO2 concentration for nature and food crops.

“What does IPCC AR6 say on Scenarios and Extreme Weather?”
By Dr Roger Pielke, Jr
Dr Pielke assesses the detection and attribution of extreme weather events by the IPCC in AR6, and shows that the prevalent use of RPC 8.5 in almost alle IPCC assessments has lead to huge exaggeration of the expected effects of climate change.

Headwind”21
By Marijn Poels
For subtitling other than in English (Deutsch, Nederlands, Swedish, English) see original version here
Already the fifth documentary by Marijn Poels about the energy transition. This time about the corruption behind wind energy in Sweden, that British engineer Alexander Pohl discovered when wind forms started popping up deep in the Swedish forests around him, powering Google data centers in Finland.
(See [4], [9], [10] and [11] for his first four documentaries about climate and the energy transition)

Return to Eden
By Marijn Poels
Last documentary in a trilogy by former left wing activist Marijn Poels, who tries to find out what powers are behind the climate change scare and the forced move from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
In this third one he shows the dire consequences for nature and rural farming.
Judith Curry: “With ‘Return to Eden’ Marijn Poels establishes himself as an important voice in our quest for living in harmony with nature”

Paradogma
By Marijn Poels
Second documentary in a trilogy by former left wing activist Marijn Poels, who tries to find out what powers are behind the climate change scare and the forced move from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
In this second one he shows the necessity to cherish contrarians in all parts of society, especially in science, in order to prevent dangerous group think and to remain balanced as a society.

Planet of the Humans
By Michael Moore
Shocking movie by left wing activist Michael Moore, about the damage done to the landscape by renewable sources, and the ties between climate activists and big capital behind the sustainable energy industry, especially the biomass industry.

Cafe Weltschmerz interview, Amsterdam
Over het rapport “Het raadsel van de verdwenen hittegolven”
Marcel Crok wordt geïnterviewd door Rico Brouwer
Tot 2016 was er geen stijgende trend in het aantal hittegolven in De Bilt van 1900 tot 2000.
Maar in 2016 blijkt het KNMI de temperaturen in De Bilt van voor 1950 sterk omlaag bijgesteld te hebben, waardoor het aantal hittegolven in de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw opeens enorm lijkt te steigen.
Deze bijstelling blijkt niet te verantwoorden, wanneer met de data van vele omliggende weerstations onderzoekt.

“How sensitive is the climate to greenhouse gases? ” by Nic Lewis
Although climate models are predicting over 3 C warming if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced to zero in 30 years, the observations tell us that climate is far less sensitive to CO2 than assumed in the climate models. This means that even with a doubling of our emissions by 2080, global warming is likely to stay under 2 C in 2100.

“What will climate change really cost us?” by Richard Tol
Consequences of climate change are far more felt by poor people than by richer people, because it is easy to adapt to change if you have the financial means to do so. This curve is so steep, that climate change policies increase the damage by climate change done to poor people, by making energy more expensive and reducing economical growth.

Documentary by Marijn Poels
“The uncertainty has settled”
First documentary in a trilogy by former left wing activist Marijn Poels, who tries to find out what powers are behind the climate change scare and the forced move from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
The energy transition is having dramatic consequences for rural life in Germany, as Marijn Poels finds out when visiting his wife’s parents.
What are the reasons for this energy policy, and are the climate arguments valid?
A quest for answers by a left wing activist, that leaves him even more confused than he was, before starting the recording of the documentary.
