A Nobel Prize-winning scientist who was to present a seminar on climate models at a IMF meeting has now reportedly found the event was “summarily cancelled”, with advocacy group The Co2 Coalition claiming the decision was because the physicist had said he did not believe there was a “climate crisis”.
Dr John Clauser reportedly hit back at the move saying the person who had cancelled his speech “feared that I might say technical things that were over his head and that he couldn’t understand.”
Dr. Clauser was due to speak to the IMF’s Independent Evaluation Office under the title: “Let’s talk – How much can we trust IPCC climate predictions?”, the CO2 Coalition said – adding that “it would appear that “not a lot” isn’t the politically correct answer”.
“Clauser is a longstanding critic of climate models and criticised the award of the Physics Nobel in 2021 for work on them. He is not alone, since many feel that climate models are primarily based on mathematics, and a history of failed opinionated climate predictions leave them undeserving of recognition at the highest level of pure science,” the Coalition said.
“Dr. Clauser has developed a climate model that adds a new significant dominant process to existing models. The process involves the visible light reflected by cumulus clouds that cover, on average, half of the Earth. Existing models greatly underestimate this cloud feedback, which provides a very powerful, dominant thermostatic control of the Earth’s temperature,” they added.
Along with two others, Dr Clauser, an experimental and theoretical physicist, was the 2022 recipient of the Nobel Prize for work done in the 1970s that showed “quantum entanglement” allowed particles such as photons, to interact at great distances, seemingly to require communication exceeding the speed of light.
In 2010 he was awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics, which is considered to be the most prestigious physics award after the Nobel.
Clauser’s experiments with his colleague Stuart Freedman helped to pave the way for complex technologies that use quantum entanglement, such as quantum computers and cryptographic protocols.
As reported on Gript, Dr Clauser recently criticised the climate emergency narrative calling it “a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people.”
He has criticized the awarding of the 2021 Nobel Prize for work in the development of computer models predicting global warming, according to a coalition of scientists and commentators who argue that an informed discussion about CO2 would recognise its importance in sustaining plant life.
In a statement issued by the CO2 coalition, Dr. Clauser said that “there is no climate crisis and that increasing CO2 concentrations will benefit the world.”
He criticized the prevalent climate models as being unreliable and not accounting for the dramatic temperature-stabilizing feedback of clouds, which he says is more than fifty times as powerful as the radiative forcing effect of CO2.
Now the Coalition says that Dr Clauser “was to present a seminar on climate models” to the International Monetary Fund only to find his talk was “summarily cancelled”.
Technically, the event was ‘postponed,'” a statement from the CO2 Coalition said.
“Dr. Clauser had previously criticized the awarding of the 2021 Nobel Prize for work in the development of computer models predicting global warming and told President Biden that he disagreed with his climate policies,” the statement continued.
“More recently, he addressed the Korea Quantum Conference where he stated, “I don’t believe there is a climate crisis” and expressed his belief that “key processes are exaggerated and misunderstood by approximately 200 times.”
Dr Clauser’s most recent comments on the narrative around climate change were made during a speech in Seoul, South Korea, where an international conference centered on the global trends of quantum ecosystem innovations.
“I don’t believe there is a climate crisis,” Clauser said during at Quantum Korea. “The world we live in today is filled with misinformation. It is up to each of you to serve as judges, distinguishing truth from falsehood based on accurate observations of phenomena.”

Dr Clauser said that well-tested and careful observations were required in seeking to establish scientific truth. He also said that, in his opinion, the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was “one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation”.
Newsweek reported that Clauser had written to the IMF saying that the person who had canceled his speech “feared that I might say technical things that were over his head and that he couldn’t understand.”
The IMF has been contacted for comment for this article.
The World Climate Declaration, supported by some 1500 scientists and professionals, including Professor Ivar Giaever, who is also a Nobel laureate in physics, also argues that climate models are “not remotely plausible as global policy tools.
The Declaration claims that “climate policy relies on inadequate models … that have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools. They do not only exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases, they also ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.”
