A Zoom lecture arranged by ICSF and Clintel on 24th May 2023 In his lecture, Mr Crok summarises the CLINTEL critique of the recently finished AR6 cycle. Over a two-year period, a team including Marcel Crok, Andy May and several other independent scientists have critically assessed IPCC’s conclusions on trends in global temperature, whether these are any warmer than previous warm periods, the fallacy of the “hockey-stick”, the lack of inclusion of solar impacts, the over-heated climate models and over-estimated climate sensitivity. He also analyses their misinterpretation of trends in extreme weather events and associated analysis of so-called climate disasters. Overall, the CLINTEL report concludes that as there is so much bias and scientific errors evident in the AR6 Report that arguably the IPCC should now be fundamentally reformed or disbanded. Marcel Crok qualified in physical chemistry, and upon graduation, saw his career opening as a science writer. In the last 18 years, he has specialised in writing on the science of climate change. With some funding from the Dutch government, he reviewed the IPCC AR5 Working Group I report. More recently, with the Dutch Institutes KNMI and PBL, he set up an international discussion platform: , and in cooperation with the independent British researcher Nic Lewis wrote about climate sensitivity (GWPF report: A Sensitive Matter). In 2019, he cofounded the Clintel Foundation in cooperation with Professor Guus Berkhout. Since 2021, he has focused on an in-depth analysis of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report AR6, which has now just been published by CLINTEL.
