In particular, scientists should emphasize that their modeling output is not the result of magic: computer models are human-made. What comes out depends entirely on what theoreticians and programmers have put in: hypotheses, assumptions, relationships, parameterizations, stability constraints, etc. Unfortunately, in mainstream climate science, most of this input is undeclared.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. &nbsp;This is precisely the problem of today&rsquo;s climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. We should free ourselves from the na&iuml;ve belief in immature climate models. In the future, climate research must give significantly more emphasis to empirical science. &nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Below is the World Climate Declaration (WCD) <a href=\"https:\/\/clintel.org\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u><strong>CLINTEL<\/strong><\/u><\/a> has published that fall on deaf ears as far as the bureaucrats are concerned. This declaration is based on scientific fact and must be disseminated worldwide so that people are aware and not deceived by evil rhetoric, trickery, alarmist literature, and the greedy agenda of the elite few.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/markethive.com\/uploads\/about\/images\/posted-images\/Cover-WCD-Declaration-January-2020.jpg\" style=\"height:708px; width:500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size:22px\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\">There Is No Climate Emergency<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>A global network of over 1100 scientists and professionals <\/strong>has prepared this urgent message. Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\">The geological archive reveals that Earth&rsquo;s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we are now experiencing a period of warming.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Warming is far slower than predicted<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\">The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Climate policy relies on inadequate models<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\">Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2. In addition, they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\">CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Global warming has not increased natural disasters<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\">There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts, and suchlike natural disasters or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\">There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt. The aim of global policy should be &ldquo;prosperity for all&rdquo; by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society, men and women are well educated, birth rates are low, and people care about their environment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:20px\">Epilogue<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>The World Climate Declaration<\/strong> (WCD) has brought a large variety of competent scientists together from all over the world*.
