German experimental physicist Prof. Gerd Gantefor explains in a recent video<\/a> why he\u2019s being made a climate denier by the fanatic parts of the climate movement: because he sees no evidence of tipping points nor the end of civilization. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And also, he warns of a dictatorial monster by the movement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Prof. Gantef\u00f6r begins by distancing himself from the term \u201cclimate denier,\u201d which is imposed from outside and intentionally associated with a dark past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He differentiates between two main groups of people who are labeled as climate deniers: 1) Individuals who deny global warming and question the human cause (e.g., blaming the sun or clouds), negate the greenhouse effect, or dismiss the warming as normal climate fluctuation, and 2) people who fear a loss of freedom and prosperity or doubt the effectiveness of radical, national measures given the global nature of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Professor of Experimental Physics and former lecturer of a major course on Energy and Climate in the Master\u2019s program in Physics, Gantef\u00f6r emphasizes his deep understanding of the subject matter. He states that he is economically and intellectually independent (retired and funded by crowdfunding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says manmade climate warming is real, but\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gantef\u00f6r\u2019s core theses are that warming is happening and is man-made due to CO2 emissions and that it is a serious problem. But what gets him in trouble is his confidence that humanity will not become extinct because of it. That\u2019s enough to get labelled a \u201cdenier\u201d by the German radical climate movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gantef\u00f6r also expects the 2-degree limit will be exceeded, as a timely global energy transition will not occur. But he feels the consequences can be managed with reason, science, and technological capability\u2014not through self-restriction or regression. He sees no evidence for the often-cited \u201ctipping points\u201d in the main reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and calls these extremes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movement is concerned with the transformation of society<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gantef\u00f6r views himself as the \u201cnatural enemy\u201d of the radical wing of the climate movement because he exposes their true goals. According to his analysis, the radical movement is not primarily concerned with the global climate, but with the \u201ctransformation of society\u201d toward eco-socialism and the \u201cend of capitalism\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He argues that climate apocalypse panic serves as a vehicle and a weapon to enforce unpopular, expensive, and, in his view, dictatorial measures (such as bans) that are concentrated on his own country (Germany), even though the problem is global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He criticizes the movement for using personal attacks and threats because they lack substantive scientific arguments against him, as he relies on the plausible statements of the IPCC and exposes exaggerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freedom just as important as climate protectin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distinguised professor stands for democracy, freedom, and personal responsibility and rejects \u201cnon-negotiable\u201d bans (German: alternativlos<\/em>), which he views as dictatorial. He is in favor of measures implemented with<\/em> the people, not against<\/em> them, and considers freedom to be just as important as climate protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He proposes addressing the climate problem through international collaboration and agrees with the five guidelines<\/strong> published by civil society and business associations, which call for more effective and efficient climate policy. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Comprehensive international cooperation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Realism and pragmatism in international solidarity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use of natural and technical CO2 sinks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Elimination of overregulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensuring societal acceptance and economic viability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    He concludes by affirming: \u201cI am not a climate denier, but I fight the radical arm of the climate movement before it develops into a dictatorial monster\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
