Around 1,500 scientists and professionals from across the world have declared that “there is no climate emergency.”They are members of an organization known as the Global Climate Intelligence Group (GCIG), a part of the Climate Intelligence Foundation, a think tank operating in the fields of climate change and policy.
The GCIG lays out five main arguments supporting its claim. First, the group pointed out that the geological evidence proves that the planet’s climate regularly varies with natural cold and warm phases. The latest significant variation, known as the Little Ice Age, began at around the 13th or 14th century and only ended around the middle of the 19th century.
Next, the organization noted how climate models are “inadequate,” and those that claimed the world was rapidly warming are false. Furthermore, the GCIG pointed out that, despite claims from climate scientists, global warming has not actually increased the rate or severity of natural disasters around the world.
The group wrote “There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent”. Furthermore, the GCIG noted that climate policy needs to respect “economic realities.”
