New must-see documentary exposes climate alarm as an “invented scare”
From the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL).
Founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok, CLINTEL‘s main objective is to generate knowledge and insight into the extent, nature, causes and consequences of climate change and the climate policy related to it.

This film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It shows that mainstream studies and official data do not support the claim that we are witnessing an increase in extreme weather events – hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and all the rest. It emphatically counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high.
The film includes interviews with a number of very prominent scientists, including Professor Steven Koonin (author of ‘Unsettled’, a former provost and vice-president of Caltech), Professor Richard (Dick) Lindzen (formerly professor of meteorology at Harvard and MIT), Professor Will Happer (professor of physics at Princeton), Dr John Clauser (winner of the Nobel prize in Physics in 2022), Professor Nir Shaviv (Racah Institute of Physics), professor Ross McKitrick (University of Guelph), Willie Soon and several others.
The film was written and directed by the British filmmaker Martin Durkin and is the sequel of his excellent 2007 documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle. Tom Nelson, a podcaster who has been deeply examining climate debate issues for the better part of two decades, was the producer of the film.

Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL) is an independent foundation that reports objectively on climate change and climate policy and aims to be a voice of reason in the often overheated climate debate. CLINTEL was founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok . CLINTEL’s main objective is to generate knowledge and insight into the extent, nature, causes and consequences of climate change and the climate policy related to it. CLINTEL also wants to participate in debates on climate science and policy, as well as in decision-making processes in this regard.
To this end:
- The foundation tries to communicate clearly and transparently to the general public what facts are available about climate change and climate policy and also where facts turn into assumptions and predictions.
- The foundation conducts and encourages a public debate on this matter and carries out investigative journalism work in this area.
- The foundation aims to function as an international meeting place for scientists with different views on climate change and climate policy.
- Will the foundation also conduct or finance scientific research in the field of climate change and climate policy?
- The foundation participates in decision-making procedures regarding the climate, climate communication and climate policy, in particular legislative and regulatory processes, but possibly also legal procedures regarding climate policy of governments, companies or other parties.
CLINTEL wants to take on the role of ‘climate watchdog’, both in the field of climate science and climate policy.
CLINTEL was made possible in part by a start-up donation from real estate entrepreneur Niek Sandmann. The foundation is very grateful to him for this. Several people have already indicated that they would also like to contribute financially to the foundation. This can also be done anonymously if desired. You can support us by becoming a Friend of CLINTEL or making a one-time donation .
The foundation strives for as few overhead costs as possible, so that almost all resources can be spent on investigative journalism, scientific research and public information. CLINTEL will work on an extensive national network of “friends” and “ambassadors”. To this end, meetings ( CLINTEL Chambers ) will be organized throughout the country . CLINTEL also has a youth organization, Young CLINTEL .
CLINTEL is located in Amsterdam and can be reached via [email protected].

The Dual Challenge: Energy and Environment
Scott Tinker
The world faces two important and interrelated challenges. Affordable and reliable energy for all, and protecting the environment. The energy-environment challenge is not simple, but it is solvable if we understand and address the complex fabric of energy security, scale of energy demand, physics of energy density, distribution of energy resources, interconnectedness of the land, air, water and atmosphere, and the extreme disparity in global wealth and economic health. The truth is that there are no good and bad, clean and dirty, renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. They all have benefits, and they all have challenges. Climate change is an important issue, but it is not the only environmental issue. Solar and wind are important low carbon solutions, but they are only part of the solution. We must put our best minds to the task of addressing the dual challenge, working together to better the world.
EDMONTON — From grassroots organizers to major industry players, Albertans working to protect the environment were in the spotlight this week at the 34th Annual Emerald Awards. Held at Edmonton’s Timms Centre for the Arts on June 5, the event recognized 14 outstanding recipients from across the province whose work is helping to build a more resilient, sustainable Alberta.
The awards, presented by the Alberta Emerald Foundation (AEF), are among the most prestigious environmental honours in Canada—celebrating projects that tackle everything from emissions reduction and conservation to education and climate adaptation.
This year marked a record-breaking number of submissions, with 72 nominations—AEF’s highest total in over a decade. A panel of independent judges selected 40 finalists across 14 categories, with one recipient named in each.
“These recipients reflect the diversity, creativity, and deep commitment to environmental stewardship we’re seeing across Alberta,” said Marisa Orfei, Executive Director of the Alberta Emerald Foundation. “Whether it’s restoring wetlands, leading innovative waste diversion programs, or inspiring change through education, each project tells a story of positive action.”
More Than Just Recognition
Along with their award, each recipient receives a $1,500 grant to support their ongoing work, a handcrafted trophy made from recycled chopsticks (courtesy of ChopValue YYC and Calgary restaurants), and a feature in the Emerald Documentary Series—which showcases environmental success stories across Alberta.
What sets the Emerald Awards apart is their inclusive approach. Winners span industries, nonprofits, Indigenous communities, youth initiatives, and municipal governments—underscoring that meaningful change can come from anywhere.
The Emerald Awards are the only program of their kind in Canada, and have become a launchpad for environmental innovation and storytelling that reaches far beyond Alberta’s borders.
