Dr. John F. Clauser, one of three recipients of 2022’s Nobel Prize in physics for his work on quantum information science, has blasted the narrative of a climate emergency. Clauser, who along with Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger did pioneering work on the “entanglement” phenomenon which has exciting implications in the world of quantum information and encryption, claims that there is no climate crisis.
In May, Clauser was named to the board of directors of the CO2 Coalition, a group of scientists dedicated to extolling the benefits of carbon dioxide and its necessary role in our environment. Other members of the group include physicist Dr. William Happer, geologist Dr. Gregory Wrightstone, and physicist Dr. Richard Lindzen.
Climate hysterics claim that greenhouse gas emissions — most notably CO2 — are creating out-of-control global warming. At least one current Nobel laureate disagrees.
“The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people,” Clauser said. “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience.”
And that “pseudoscience” has implications far beyond the world of climate science.
“In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists,” Clauser declared.
Clauser claims that the “climate emergency” being touted by Al Gore, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others doesn’t exist.
“In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis,” he said. “There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science.”
Clauser made the remarks at the “Quantum Korea 2023” event in June.
The physicist criticized the Nobel committee in 2021 for awarding a prize for the development of computer models meant to predict global warming. According to Clauser, most computer models do not account for the dramatic temperature stabilization provided by clouds.
Clauser has reportedly developed his own climate model, which takes the stabilizing effect of clouds into account. According to him, this regulating effect of reflective cloud cover is fifty times as strong as any warming effect produced by CO2.
He further states that the “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] and National Academy of Sciences repeatedly concede that the effects of clouds do indeed represent the greatest uncertainty in their climate predictions.”
In fact, the IPCC barely takes clouds into account: “The IPCC’s detailed analysis of clouds (AR5) and their effect on climate totally misunderstands the effects of clouds, and totally ignores this dominating energy transport process,” Clauser has said.
Despite his Nobel Prize credentials, climate hysterics have either ignored Clauser’s opinions on climate change or claimed that he’s not the right kind of scientist to have an opinion. Twitter user BONUS, who bills himself as a “Scientist (Presented at a UN Climate conference),” used this tactic.
“Dr. John F. Clauser has no expertise in climate science at all. He doesnt [sic] even understand that cloud feedbacks are a response to temp changes caused by CO2. His links to the fossil fuel lobby group the “CO2 “coal”-ition” only suggest he is wrong on climate,” BONUS tweeted weakly.
The dominant tactic of the climate cult is to ignore Clauser and his criticism of their political (not scientific) movement. Eventually, they’ll likely attempt to tie him to “big oil” or “fossil fuel interests” instead of listening to his words. He and others like him frighten climate hysterics because they won’t simply bow down in obeisance. Clauser is clearly a man who says what he thinks.
And he says it with a Nobel Prize-winning pedigree behind him.
