"A global network of over 1100 scientists and professionals has prepared this urgent message... Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming..."
"Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming
The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850."

"Warming is far slower than predicted
The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change."

"Climate policy relies on inadequate models
Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2 [and] they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial."

"CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth... More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: ...

"additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass... It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide."
"Global warming has not increased natural disasters
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent...

"... However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly."
"Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities
There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050...

"... If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt. The aim of global policy should be ‘prosperity for all’ by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times."
"Epilogue
The World Climate Declaration (WCD) has brought a large [number of] scientists together from all over the world*. The considerable knowledge and experience of this group is indispensable in reaching a balanced, dispassionate and competent view of climate change...

"* It is not the number of experts but the quality of arguments that counts"
