THE MANHATTEN DECLARATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA CONTACTS (IN 16 COUNTRIES) FOR THE DECLARATION - CLICK HERE TO VIEW ENDORSERS OF THE DECLARATION - CLICK HERE TO ENDORSE THE DECLARATION - CLICK HERE Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change “Global warming” is not a global crisis We, the scientists and researchers in climate and related fields, economists, policymakers, and business leaders, assembled at Times Square, New York City, participating in the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change, Resolving that scientific questions should be evaluated solely by the scientific method; Affirming that global climate has always changed and always will, independent of the actions of humans, and that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant but rather a necessity for all life; Recognising that the causes and extent of recently-observed climatic change are the subject of intense debates in the climate science community and that oft-repeated assertions of a supposed ‘consensus’ among climate experts are false; Affirming that attempts by governments to legislate costly regulations on industry and individual citizens to encourage CO2 emission reduction will slow development while having no appreciable impact on the future trajectory of global climate change. Such policies will markedly diminish future prosperity and so reduce the ability of societies to adapt to inevitable climate change, thereby increasing, not decreasing human suffering; Noting that warmer weather is generally less harmful to life on Earth than colder: Hereby declare: That current plans to restrict anthropogenic CO2 emissions are a dangerous misallocation of intellectual capital and resources that should be dedicated to solving humanity’s real and serious problems. That there is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change. That attempts by governments to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations without affecting climate. That adaptation as needed is massively more cost-effective than any attempted mitigation, and that a focus on such mitigation will divert the attention and resources of governments away from addressing the real problems of their peoples. That human-caused climate change is not a global crisis. Now, therefore, we recommend – That world leaders reject the views expressed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as popular, but misguided works such as “An Inconvenient Truth”. That all taxes, regulations, and other interventions intended to reduce emissions of CO2 be abandoned forthwith. Agreed at New York, 4 March 2008.

WHY DO WE NEED THE CLIMATE SCIENTISTS' REGISTER? A common misunderstanding amongst the general public, mainstream media and politicians is that only a small proportion of experts in the climate science community have serious problems with the concept of a carbon dioxide-driven climate crisis. In reality, thousands of climate experts are highly skeptical of this hypothesis. This fact has been repeatedly demonstrated through open letters, petitions and other declarations. However, these documents have not had sufficient impact on government policy largely because mainstream media have generally ignored them and so only a minority of the public is aware of their existence. Consequently, ICSC has incorporated the following characteristics into The Climate Scientists' Register to address this problem: • The Register statement is apolitical, non-commercial and deals with one physical science topic only. Many scientists have been reluctant to endorse past declarations because they did not want to become involved in something they regarded as outside of their professional field of knowledge. Similarly, many potential supporters in the general public, mass media and government have not often cited past open letters for fear of appearing to support their ideological opponents. • Scientist endorsers from all countries are welcome, thus negating the perception that national interests of any specific nation dominate. • The Register will include full professional identification of each endorser along with areas of specialization. For endorsers who are willing and able to speak with media, politicians and the public, ICSC will also include detailed contact coordinates. • ICSC will carefully vet any and all endorsers, allowing only the most qualified climate scientists to be included. • No scientist will be listed as endorsing the Register without their specific approval, and any wishing to have their names removed in the future will be accommodated immediately. • The coordinating organization, ICSC, is a single-issue entity that is, and is widely seen to be, neutral politically, philosophically and financially. ICSC carefully avoids all ad hominem attacks and other logical fallacies. We also maintain strict confidentiality with regards to funders’ identities and critique the comments of those involved in the debate based solely on the scientific accuracy of what they say and our perception of the effectiveness of their strategies. For sensible climate policy to triumph, it will require that the vast majority of the public come to regard human caused climate catastrophe concerns as unfounded. This can only happen if we quickly ‘expand the tent’ of supporters of sound, science-based climate policies to include citizens of many different political persuasions, social philosophies and commercial interests. The Climate Scientists' Register does just that by focusing solely on the most important of the climate science topics under debate – is human produced carbon dioxide leading to dangerous global warming, or not? To help ICSC produce and broadly publicize The Register and its endorsers, we invite donations to "International Climate Science Coalition" to be sent to the address below. Media who wish to contact scientists involved in this project may also contact the below.

TOPICS IN CLIMATE SCIENCE AND POLICY Canada’s government declared a climate emergency in June 2019. 384 local jurisdictions across the country have declared a climate emergency as well. Internationally, 1,800 governments in 33 countries have done the same thing. Yet none have done so in the parts of the world that are supposedly most at risk due to climate change, namely, in Africa and most of Asia. They understand that climate change is natural and current trends are anything but an emergency. After all, the supposed global average temperature has risen only slightly more that one degree Celsius since 1880. Sea level continues its gradual rise at about 7 inches per century. Extreme weather records are being set less frequently and polar bears are thriving. Even if our leaders don’t understand this, developing nations know that they have far more significant issues to handle than climate change.

CORE PRINCIPLES CLIMATE SCIENCE Global climate is always changing in accordance with natural causes, and recent changes are not unusual. Science is rapidly evolving away from the view that humanity's emissions of carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gases' are a cause of dangerous climate change. Climate models used by the IPCC* fail to reproduce known past climates without manipulation and therefore lack the scientific integrity needed for use in climate prediction and related policy decision-making. The UN IPCC Summary for Policymakers and the assertions of IPCC executives too often seriously mis-represent the conclusions of their own scientific reports. Claims that ‘consensus’ exists among climate experts regarding the causes of the modest warming of the past century are contradicted by thousands of independent scientists. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant—it is a necessary reactant in plant photosynthesis and so is essential for life on Earth. Research that identifies the Sun as a major driver of global climate change must be taken more seriously. Global cooling has presented serious problems for human society and the environment throughout history, while global warming has generally been highly beneficial. It is not possible to reliably predict how climate will change in the future beyond the certainty that multi-decadal warming and cooling trends, and abrupt changes, will all continue, underscoring a need for effective adaptation. Since science and observation have failed to substantiate the human-caused climate change hypothesis, it is premature to damage national economies with 'carbon' taxes, emissions trading, or other schemes to control greenhouse gas emissions. *United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ENERGY Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity—energy production, transportation, cement production, heating and cooling, etc.—appear to have only a very small impact on global climate. So-called new renewable energy technologies are extremely expensive and rely on huge subsidies. To use such intermittent and diffuse power sources requires that the consumer pays between three and ten times the price of power from conventional sources (coal, oil, natural gas, hydro and nuclear). Regardless, it is not currently possible to safely replace a significant fraction of our conventional energy supplies with alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and most biofuels. New renewable energy technologies have only a minimal effect on carbon dioxide emissions because none of them can be relied upon to be available when needed. Therefore, conventional fossil fuel-fired power stations must be kept on standby in case the wind drops or a cloud passes over the Sun. This leads to additional emissions of carbon dioxide that, to a large extent, offset the reductions made by the renewable energy technologies. "Energy independence" is not a good reason for promoting new renewable energy technologies. Energy independence is more easily–and much more cheaply–attained by exploiting abundant national fossil fuel reserves, and spending some of the wealth created on research into potential new energy technologies.

ENDORSE THE MANHATTAN DECLARATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE! Add your name to the list of hundreds of other concerned citizens who have endorsed the Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change! Whether you attended the International Conference on Climate Change in New York City or not, whether you are an expert in the field or not, you can still endorse the call for climate realism by sending the following information to Tom Harris at icsc.tom.harris@gmail.com : Name: Address: Position and organization (if applicable): E-mail (will not be publicized): Phone (optiional; will not be publicized): Background related to climate change (optional; it is fine if you have none as we have a list of supportive lay people citizens as well): Comments (optional): _________________________________________________________ Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change “Global warming” is not a global crisis We, the scientists and researchers in climate and related fields, economists, policymakers, and business leaders, assembled at Times Square, New York City, participating in the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change, Resolving that scientific questions should be evaluated solely by the scientific method; Affirming that global climate has always changed and always will, independent of the actions of humans, and that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant but rather a necessity for all life; Recognising that the causes and extent of recently-observed climatic change are the subject of intense debates in the climate science community and that oft-repeated assertions of a supposed ‘consensus’ among climate experts are false; Affirming that attempts by governments to legislate costly regulations on industry and individual citizens to encourage CO2 emission reduction will slow development while having no appreciable impact on the future trajectory of global climate change. Such policies will markedly diminish future prosperity and so reduce the ability of societies to adapt to inevitable climate change, thereby increasing, not decreasing human suffering; Noting that warmer weather is generally less harmful to life on Earth than colder: Hereby declare: That current plans to restrict anthropogenic CO2 emissions are a dangerous misallocation of intellectual capital and resources that should be dedicated to solving humanity’s real and serious problems. That there is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change. That attempts by governments to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations without affecting climate. That adaptation as needed is massively more cost-effective than any attempted mitigation, and that a focus on such mitigation will divert the attention and resources of governments away from addressing the real problems of their peoples. That human-caused climate change is not a global crisis. Now, therefore, we recommend – That world leaders reject the views expressed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as popular, but misguided works such as “An Inconvenient Truth”. That all taxes, regulations, and other interventions intended to reduce emissions of CO2 be abandoned forthwith. Agreed at New York, 4 March 2008. Back to Declaration

POLAR BEARS Polar Bears are thriving and are in no way endangered That is the conclusion of Victoria, British Columbia-based zoologist Dr. Susan Crockford as detailed in her latest STATE OF THE POLAR BEAR REPORT 2020 which can be seen here . Here are the key take-aways concerning polar bears: Climate activists are wrong to say that the polar bear is at risk due to climate change. The bears are generally healthy throughout their range and reproducing well. Polar bears number about 30,000 today, three times as many as in the 1960s. The polar bear was the first species to be designated at risk, not because of real world observations, but because of theoretical model forecasts of the future. Polar bear biologists originally forecast that, if sea ice retreated to the level it is at today, only 1/3 of the population would remain. Clearly, their models do not work. In the early years of the 21st century, polar bears were officially categorized as ‘threatened’ with extinction. This change in status was not driven by falls in the number of polar bears by an assumption that reductions in sea ice, caused by global warming, would harm them in the future. With climate change not a threat to them and the overhunting problem solved, the polar bear is an environmental success story!
