Professor Dr. Knut Loschke studied crystallography, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. In the course of a long career he founded an IT company, and is an honorary professor at the University of Technology, Economics and Culture in Leipzig. As part of his work at the University, he deals with the energy industry and climate change. He served the German Bundestag as an expert in ‘Artificial Intelligence’. But Professor Loschke is annoyed, very annoyed, as he demonstrated in this recent Facebook post.
I’m sick.
Or, to put it even more clearly: I’m fed up with permanent and increasingly religious climate ramblings, fantasies about the energy transition, worship of electric cars, horror stories and doomsday scenarios from Corona to conflagrations and weather disasters. I can’t stand the people who shout into microphones and cameras, or print it in newspapers every day. I suffer from having to see how science is turned into a whore of politics.
It seems that scientists like Professor Loschke are fighting back, tired of being abused and often ignored for scientific work that fails to conform to a fashionable political narrative. Last week, the Daily Sceptic highlighted the ongoing World Climate Declaration (WCD), now signed by over 1,100 scientists and professionals. Headed by the Norwegian physics Nobel Prize laureate Professor Ivar Giaever, the WCD says there is no climate emergency. Climate science is said to have degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound science. Our story about the WCD attracted enormous interest on social media and is one of the most widely read articles we have ever published. Enormous efforts were made to trash the Declaration, and many of the people who signed have been personally abused.
The WCD is signed by no less than 235 professors drawn from a wide variety of scientific and other academic disciplines. Thirteen of the 28 WCD lead supporters are professors, seven out of the 10 Greek signatories likewise, and 11 out of the 24 from Norway. The climate scientist and writer Willie Soon recently listed a number of the academic disciplines that are helpful in studying the changing climate. They include: astronomy, solar physics, geology, geochemistry, paleoclimatology, glaciology, oceanography, ecology and history. It was not a complete lists, he added. The breadth of experience from scientists and non-scientists found in the WCD list encompasses most, if not all of these areas of study. People with thousands of years of cumulative practical experience are calling for the study of climate science to be less political and for governments’ climate policies to be more scientific.
Another German scientist, the distinguished experimental physics specialist Professor Hermann Harde, recently dismissed the idea that humans control the climate via carbon dioxide emissions as an “absolute delusion”. He warned politicians that it would be an irresponsible energy policy to continue to ignore more serious peer-reviewed scientific publications that show a much smaller human impact on climate than previously thought.
We recently reported Harde’s comments and referred to the fact that for years German politicians have been able to make virtuous green noises by banning nuclear and fossil fuel production, while relying on an unstable Russia to make up the energy short fall. The sheer stupidity of that policy is likely to become apparent in Germany this winter. Already problems are mounting, with the German newspaper Handlesblatt reporting that the megawatt price of electricity jumped last week to a new high in daily trading. A megawatt hour cost €563, compared to just €23 a year ago. Of course, the ruinous policies behind Net Zero are responsible for this. In the U.K., the spike in international gas prices, and an increasing reliance on unreliable renewables, means the consumer energy price cap could be raised to £6,000, an amount that is almost certainly beyond the means of a significant portion of the population. Under these conditions, a cold winter could kill thousands of people.
Before he died, the acclaimed physicist Professor Freeman Dyson – a signatory of the CWD – noted that the “people who are supposed to be the experts and claim to understand the science, are precisely the people who are blind to the evidence”. Professor Richard Lindzen, a WCD lead signatory, evidently agrees, having said that the current climate narrative is “absurd”, even though trillions of dollars currently says it is not. It remains to be seen what will run out first – the money, or the tolerance of citizens to become poor under command-and-control, hard-left Net Zero regimes.
For years, green activists and journalists have been able to hide behind the obvious canards that the science surrounding the human involvement in climate change is ‘settled’, and that 99% of scientists agree with that statement. The arrogance behind this political stance is on display with a tweet from the Guardian writer George – “Don’t mention the coral!” – Monbiot, who made an oblique reference to the recent WCD article.
As we have reported before, 48 Italian science professors recently wrote to their Government, stating that human responsibility for climate change is “unjustifiably exaggerated and catastrophic predictions are not realistic”. Activists such as Monbiot regularly traduce ‘deniers’ for their supposed links to funding from oil companies (although he recently dismissed the suggestion that the Guardian’s lavish funding by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation influences its coverage in the slightest). Particular ire is often reserved for geologists, since they are much in employment demand from companies that seek to extract mineral riches from the Earth. Geology also provides an important insight into the paleoclimatic record. Geologists are often sceptical about claims that humans are causing sudden changes in the climate. One might say that they have seen it all before. The only scientist who went to the moon on Apollo was a geologist called Harrison Schmitt, and his position is that there is “no evidence” that humans cause climate change.
The increasing numbers of scientists prepared to break ranks with the ‘settled’ politicised science of climate change would suggest various causes for their scepticism other than bungs from oil companies.

The Strep A problem may be being caused by the Nasal Flu spray being given to school children ! Apparently in trials with Mice this was the result ! Could this be true ??
The paper mentioned “significant increases” in Streptococcus pneumoniae rather than Strep A, they cause different diseases. Also increased Staphylococcus aureus. But the mechanisms that the authors suggest are not necessarily specific to those two; if Strep A happens to be doing the rounds at the time of vaccination then maybe it could promote that as well. The fact checkers will tell you there’s “no evidence” of course, but that’s “no evidence” in the sense that nobody’s looked for any.
Mark Steyn must be on the mend if he’s able to talk about his experience. Glad he’s doing well though.

Do you have a link to his talk, Mogs? This just takes you to a picture of the great man without any video.
No sorry, I couldn’t find one. I did find this however, lead singer of The Specials dead after a ”brief illness”.
Gutted. Everyone knows some corkers that The Specials did. Ghost Town, A Message To You Rudy, You Done Too Much, being 3 faves of mine. Very sad.

I saw this last night. Very sad. Terry Hall was a wonderful singer and songwriter and I have been a fan throughout his career.
Lead with The Fun Boy Three.
Personally I think his greatest work was the album “Virgins and Philistines” when he fronted The Colourfield. Some of it is a touch dark but as an album it is sublime. One of my all time favourites.
I liked Fun Boy Three also. “It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it…” Only know them as I was a Bananarama fangirl.
But 63yrs is way too young to go. Another mystery, though maybe more details will emerge over time.
The Lunatics, surely. Written in the 1980s but topical today: –

LOL. I’ve never heard of that one. I was probably a bit young to appreciate them back in the day. I think if he’d grown his hair and went crazy with the hair spray, worn red lipstick, eye liner and big, baggy jumpers he’d pass for Robert Smith’s brother, haha! Obviously a very different style of music but still. I did dig The Cure back in the ’80s though.
Now, you’re just making me feel old!
I sincerely wish Mark Steyn all the very best. A highly credible man and class one journalist.
Reading the blurb he had his second heart attack in France…lucky man! He’s staying there while he is being cared for and recovering…and so would I….!!
The New York Times reputation for insightful journalism is now below The Beano.
Does that mean it is on a par with the Sunday Times?
“A leading think tank says Government should highlight benefits of people coming to work legally while cracking down on small boat crossings”
So, you need a think tank to tell you of laws that already exist? Oi veh!
I have a simpler mechanism to offer. When a boat arrives, if people who have travelled far and risked much to come and try to build a better life here through hard work and enterprise, we should get 20 lardy career benfit claimants, and holders of non-jobs in the Public Sector to go back the other way. One in, one out….
We could call it ‘Refugee Swap’ and make it into a TV programme…
I know that we have all read about HCQ and Ivermectin…and one of the greatest miscarriages in this whole charade has been the way people were left to die ‘because there was no treatment’ for Covid when we all know there were numerous early treatments that were used successfully….
Jikky the Mouse had a huge Twitter following but of course she was subsequently banned….she has now been re-instated ….!
She claims here, and I believe it’s true, that three tablets of Azithromycin would have saved thousands of elderly lives, if not more….
If they hadn’t used the useless PCR and been diagnosed with ‘Covid’ they would have got the treatment…which is shocking…..
Jikky the mouse https
@TheJikky
For every person who had an elderly relative die “of Covid” and who never received a single antibiotic go back to the treating doctor and ask them what the treatment is for post viral pneumonia.
Then ask why they didn’t treat your gran.
#3tablets was all it took.
3 tablets.
That’s what they withheld from the elderly that were diagnosed with “COVID pneumonia” because they were told not to treat. It was bacterial pneumonia. They died.
If they hadn’t had the test they would have had the tablets.
Instead of “two weeks to slow the spread” which became “3 years and an experimental gene therapy whether you like it or not” it would have just taken #3tablets to stop the majority of the deaths in the elderly.
Please keep this going.

More devastating evidence. As if any where needed.
Jikky’s been great in uncovering all of this viral pneumonia stuff. And people doubt the depopulation theory. It’s gathering more and more evidence by the day!
From a post just seen over at TCW:
The latest proposed terrorism legislation states that ANY venue capable of holding more than 100 people must produce a plan detailing how it will respond in the event of it coming under a terrorist attack.
Well we do suffer alot of those don’t we? Usually instigated by our own government.
Let’s see – churches, sport stadiums, theatres, gyms, supermarkets, factories etc.
(I can’t seem to copy and paste from the TCW site.)

What a dreadful catalogue of adverse events.
Michael Shellenberger on Twitter: “46. The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time. “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021. https://t.co/SmNse97QxK” / Twitter
So, the FBI using taxpayer cash to pay twitter to work for them.
Any sign of dirty politics, given what this MP has achieved so far re the drug promotion? https://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2022/december-2022/independent-expert-panel-dismisses-appeal-by-andrew-bridgen-mp/
“We’ve penetrated the cabinets…”
Sounds about right.
Said Klaus ! …
Andrew Bridgen MP banned from HOC ! Amazing that !!!…
Again?!
The bloke’s a hero and is showing up his colleagues for the collective sociopaths that they are, because they all didn’t just snub him when he gave his speech to an empty hall, they snubbed the entire British public that they are supposed to serve! F***ers!
TPTB are desperate to stifle the truth !!
Spot on.
