Shameless climate propaganda from the WHO and The Lancet
This week, the WHO tried once again to scare us senseless with fearmongering about climate change. It allegedly poses a catastrophic threat to public health. These claims are easily debunked and raise the question of what the WHO’s real agenda is, says Marcel Crok.

Climate Intelligence (Clintel) is an independent foundation informing people about climate change and climate policies.

“The impact of climate change is enormous… so enormous that there is really no escaping it.” According to Ernst Kuipers, the former Dutch Minister of Health, Welfare, and Sport, speaking this week in his capacity as a member of a special commission established by the World Health Organization (WHO). In an action plan, that commission states that climate change in Europe must be treated as an international public health emergency.

This is not the first time the WHO has sounded the alarm on climate change. In December 2024, Dr. Tedros, the Director-General of the WHO, stated in a hearing before the International Court of Justice that climate change is, in essence, a health crisis. Since 2023, the WHO has had a webpage on climate change that begins: “Climate change is directly contributing to humanitarian emergencies from heatwaves, wildfires, floods, tropical storms and hurricanes and they are increasing in scale, frequency and intensity.”

No doubt climate change can cause all those problems.
The flaw here is the apparent assumption that humans cause climate change.
That has yet to be demonstrated beyond localized effects ("heat islands", for example).

Sadly, the push to "do something!" is proving to be an expensive misallocation of resources that could have been used to mitigate the effects of a changing climate instead of spent uselessly trying to replace existing effective technologies with less reliable systems that create new problems of their own.
