Dear ……….

There is no climate emergency
We, the undersigned 400(?) independent Climate Scientists and
Professionals from 15(?) countries, wish to convey five urgent messages
to you:
1. Climate change is a fact. The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has
varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. With
the Little Ice Age ending around 1850 AD, it is no surprise that we now are
experiencing a period of warming. This is to be expected from the cyclic behavior of
the climate system.
2. There is no proof that anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are the major
cause of global warming. There is also no scientific evidence that anthropogenic CO2
emissions have a detrimental effect on the quality of life. On the contrary, we do know
that CO2 is the basis of life on Earth (photosynthesis) and more CO2 is beneficial for
nature (greening the Earth) and agriculture (increasing crop yields).
3. Climate policy is heavily based on computer models. Unfortunately, these climate
models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools.
Moreover, they substantially overestimate the recent temperature increase, most
likely because they are oversensitive to greenhouse gases such as CO2.
4. There is also no scientific evidence that higher CO2 levels are intensifying natural
disasters like hurricanes, floods and droughts, or making them more frequent. On
the other hand, there are many indications that most CO2-mitigation measures in
use today have a devastating effect on wildlife (e.g. by wind turbines) and land use
(e.g. forest clearance).
5. Energy policy must be based on scientific and economic realities. We strongly
oppose the harmful and unrealistic “net zero” policy proposed for 2050. There is no
climate emergency and therefore no cause for panic and alarm. If better
approaches emerge, we will have ample time to reflect and adapt. Our aim should
always be to provide reliable and affordable energy at all times.
Our advice to political leaders is that science should aim at a significantly better
understanding of the climate system, while politics should focus on minimizing
potential climate damage by giving priority to adaptation strategies based on new
technologies.
