“In fact, there is no climate change other than what the planet has experienced since the end of the last Ice Age. This supposed climate crisis is a house of cards that must eventually collapse – everyone can be fooled for a while, some maybe forever, but not everyone can be fooled forever.

Story of eco-activists
For some time now, the world’s media has been showing young people pouring water on works of art and monuments, painting the water of famous Roman fountains, such as the fountain in Spanish Square or the Trevi Fountain. Last October, young people poured tomato sauce on a painting by Vincent van Gogh in the National Gallery in London. They block highways from time to time, which is another way they work. They declare themselves as members of the Last Generation movement, which aims to fight fossil fuels and climate change to save our planet.
Last Generation is one of the movements belonging to the A22 network, which brings together groups from different countries, such as Declare Emergency, Just Stop Oil, Renovate Switzerland and France’s Dernière Rénovation, and is funded by the Climate Emergency Fund. Behind ecological slogans there is both a political and an economic project – public opinion must be terrified with a story about the impending global ecological catastrophe in order to impose a radical program of ecologists.
The investigative journalism of the weekly Washington Examiner exposed the origins and goals of the global environmental movement and identified the people who fund it – mainly politicians from the US Democratic Party (including the Clinton family) and people from the Hollywood world. At the top of the Climate Emergency Fund pyramid are Rory Kennedy, daughter of Bob Kennedy, Aileen Getty, billionaire philanthropist, heiress to the Getty dynasty, and Adam McKay (McKay spent more than $4 million in 2021 to environmental goals); the list of financiers also includes the actors Jeremy Strong, Chelsea Handler, Thomas Middleditch, as well as Abigail Disney, the daughter of the brother of the famous Walt Disney.
In its annual report, the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) is proud to announce that by 2022, thanks to the investment of more than five million dollars, 44 organizations were supported, 45,000 activists were mobilized, and more than 24,000 media events were “provoked”. Defiling monuments and works of art and blocking highways are exactly the kind of media events referred to in the report. Unfortunately, the perpetrators of these acts – ecovandals, as they are called – are often invited to participate in radio and television discussions as if they were ecology and climate experts. An undersecretary of the Italian Ministry of Culture openly said that behind the young people of the last generation are “billionaires who finance them”. And the activists “do their bidding like ‘mafia workers’ so that the great renewable energy industry can grow” – like trained parrots repeating the same ideas over and over again to convince the public of imminent environmental catastrophe if we don’t act now ecological activities, we do not introduce the green programme.
The vast majority of these activists mobilized by the Climate Emergency Fund have no science, even if they refer to purported scientific data. For example, they repeat as a mantra that almost all scientists agree that global warming is of anthropic origin, ie caused by humans. They also give the exact number of such scientists – 97 percent.
I asked the Italian scientist Franco Battaglia, professor of theoretical and physical chemistry at several Italian universities, author of many scientific articles and books, as well as the book on climate “There is no climate threat” on this issue.

Włodzimierz Redzioch, wPolityce.pl: Professor, why are greens and environmentalists talking about 97 percent of scientists taking the anthropic nature of climate change for granted in support of their catastrophic thesis?
Prof Franco Battaglia: Number 97 percent it’s so unlikely that I did some research and found the source. It’s a 2013 paper titled “Quantitative Assessment of the Anthropogenic Global Warming Consensus in the Scientific Literature” signed by John Cook and eight other authors. It analyzes the evolution of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming (RGA) in the scientific literature by examining 11,944 scientific papers published between 1991 and 2011 whose abstracts contain the words “global climate change” or “global warming”. contain. That turned out to be 66.4 percent. summaries showed no anthropogenic origin. 32.6 percent mentioned anthropogenic origin, 0.7 percent. declined, and 0.3 percent. there was no certainty about the cause of global warming. Of the summaries who took a position on the RGA, 97.1% agreed that human activities are causing global warming. This is 97.1 percent in the sample surveyed by the authors of the article. with only 32.6 percent of all taking an unequivocal position in favor of an anthropic cause, less than 32 percent. the entire study group. Basically, the number is 97 percent. this is a colossal mistake!
But can the truth about global warming be confirmed by a majority vote?
Of course not. Facts are important. Those who argue for an anthropic cause of climate change have only one piece of evidence to support their claim: the fact that between 1980 and 2000, the planet warmed as CO2 emissions increased. There are no other facts. In fact, there is dozens of evidence to the contrary. Here are three: 1) our planet has been warmer in the past than it is now (Holocene, Roman and Medieval Warm Periods); 2) the current warming started in 1690, but during the first two centuries man could not bear any responsibility for this phenomenon; 3) there is no correlation between emissions – which have always increased – and warming, which decreased from 1940-80 and stopped in 1999-2012.
But for green, left-wing politicians, for the UN, the opinion of the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) is important, which supports the proposition of the anthropogenic cause of warming…
We must not forget that the IPCC, wanted by the UN bureaucrats, has become increasingly compromised over the years with a large number of inaccuracies and errors in the reconstruction of the past climate, in the predictions of the climate of the future and in the reconstruction of troposphere temperatures. In contrast, there is an international network of more than 1,550 scientists – mainly climatologists, geologists, geophysicists, physicists, astrophysicists, oceanographers – who are increasingly proving their credibility and competence in assessing climate issues and who maintain that the cause of warming is essentially natural and that the supposed anthropic contribution is not even measurable.
What is this network?
We are talking about Clintel (Climate Intelligence), which also includes two Nobel laureates in physics. Clintel is headquartered in the Netherlands and is led by Guus Berkhout, Emeritus Professor of Geophysics and Fellow of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
What has Clintel been up to lately?
Clintel recently conducted a thorough analysis of the latest IPCC report (AR6 report). Unfortunately, these reports underlie climate policies – which affect us all – such as the carbon tax and all forms of energy transition policy and the ban on fossil fuels.
And what did this analysis reveal?
Clintel’s analysis leaves no doubt about the superficiality of the IPCC, which is why Prof. Berkhout decided to send an open letter to economist Hoesung Lee, chairman of the IPCC. Berkhout writes: “At Clintel, we reviewed several statements in the IPCC Working Groups 1 (Scientific Basis) and 2 (Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability) reports and found serious errors in them. Details of the results can be found in the paper entitled “The Frozen Climate views of the IPCC”, available at clintel.org. I do not want to list in detail the mistakes of the IPCC, but it is clear that this body is not fulfilling the task entrusted to it – it did not accept any criticism, it did not follow any recommendation, it did not refute the words of politicians and media reports that distorted the content of its reports. In fact, there is no climate change other than what the planet has experienced since the end of the last Ice Age. This alleged climate crisis is a house of cards that must eventually come crashing down – everyone can be fooled for a while, maybe some forever, but not all forever.
But politicians and senior UN officials have repeatedly misrepresented the findings of even the IPCC itself…
That’s true. Let me remind you that UN Secretary-General Guterres stated that “Humanity is responsible for the warming of the past 200 years; an atmospheric time bomb counts down; the report of IPCC Working Group 1 is a deafening alarm bell; The CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are suffocating our planet and putting billions of people in immediate danger.” But the AR6 Working Group Report 1 says none of these things. Yet the IPCC has never denied the UN Secretary-General’s words, nor has it questioned the equally inaccurate media coverage that distorts the report’s content. The alleged results of scientific research are only used to carry out political and ideological agendas.
