In a recent public statement, renowned physicist and 2022 Nobel Physics Laureate, Dr. John Clauser, vehemently criticized the prevailing “climate emergency” narrative, calling it a “dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people.”
However, it seems that his bold stance has come at a cost, as repercussions have already begun.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) abruptly canceled Dr. Clauser’s scheduled talk on climate models, removing any trace of the event from their website.
Initially slated to speak at the IMF’s Independent Evaluation Office, Dr. Clauser’s talk was titled “Let’s talk – How much can we trust IPCC climate predictions?”
The cancellation suggests that questioning the credibility of climate models is not a politically correct stance.
Dr. Clauser has long been critical of climate models and even scrutinized the 2021 Nobel Physics Award for work related to them.
He is not alone in his skepticism, as many believe that climate models rely too heavily on mathematics and have a history of inaccurate predictions, making them undeserving of recognition at the highest level of pure science.
However, some like the green activist National Geographic magazine have praised climate models’ accuracy, even to the point of attributing a Nobel Prize to them.
Last week, Dr. Clauser further expressed his concerns about the state of climate science, describing it as “metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience.”
He argued that this pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for various related problems and has been perpetuated and extended by misguided marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In his view, there is no real climate crisis.
Dr. Clauser joins a growing list of Nobel physics laureates who reject the notion of a climate crisis.
Professor Ivar Giaever, another laureate, leads the World Climate Declaration, which denies the existence of a climate emergency and questions the viability of climate models as global policy tools.
Similarly, Professor Robert Laughlin, the 1998 Nobel winner, believes that the climate is beyond human control, implying that efforts to respond to climate change are futile.
Australian climate journalist Jo Nova highlighted Dr. Clauser’s remarks, emphasizing that Nobel Prize winners who hold skeptical views challenge the credibility of those who label dissenters as “climate deniers.”
She also pointed out the lack of mainstream media coverage of Clauser’s statements, highlighting the hypocrisy of dismissing expert opinions that don’t align with a particular narrative.
As for the IMF’s involvement in international finance, there are hopes that the institution will demonstrate greater willingness to evaluate climate science as thoroughly as it evaluates predictions related to money flows.
Dr. Clauser’s expertise lies in quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize and the prestigious Wolf Prize in Physics in 2010.
In addition to his groundbreaking work in quantum mechanics, he has also offered suggestions to improve existing climate models.
Critics argue that climate models are flawed and fail to accurately predict future temperatures due to their inability to account for chaotic and non-linear atmospheric conditions.
They often underestimate the influence of natural forces such as volcanoes and clouds on global temperatures.
Dr. Clauser points to the significant role of clouds as a powerful and dominant thermostatic control of Earth’s temperatures, which is not adequately represented in climate models.
He further states that key processes are vastly exaggerated and misunderstood by approximately 200 times.
Some may argue that such a degree of inaccuracy might be tolerated in economics, but higher standards should be upheld in the scientific community.
As the debate surrounding climate science intensifies, it remains to be seen how institutions like the IMF will navigate these contentious waters and whether voices like Dr. Clauser’s will continue to face repercussions for challenging the prevailing narrative.

Where I live, I see many, many ” chem trails.” It is very disconcerting knowing that this type of non-nature is NOT a natural occurrence in our environment. Many should be concerned with the ingredients being dumped into our atmosphere. Plainly stated, ” this type of assumption of our citizens compliance is criminal, at best. “
That a guy like him is being canceled tells us that the present narrative on climate crisis is bs and there is no climate crisis. Any government or corporation that does this sort of thing is a disgrace to the name of science. John Clauser is a hero.
