The Saved House in Oudkarspel
On June 6, Clintel on Tour will land in the North Holland municipality of Langedijk, the place where Clintel director Marcel Crok (1971) grew up. Marcel will give a full evening lecture entitled: Isn't the cure worse than the disease?
No more CO2 emissions in 2050
Not a day goes by without the media bombarding us with doomsday stories about the climate. Hurricanes, floods, forest fires, heat, it would all be due to CO2 emissions and therefore our own fault. Politics has therefore deployed far-reaching climate policy, summarized as Net Zero. By 2050, Europe may no longer emit CO2. This has enormous consequences for society. Fossil fuels must be replaced by CO2-free alternatives. However, they are more expensive and unreliable. We also have to adjust our behavior. Fly less, eat less meat. Marcel Crok has been following the climate debate closely for 20 years. In this lecture he asks the question: isn't the cure (climate policy) worse than the disease (climate change)?
Marcel Crok
Marcel grew up in Oudkarspel and Noord-Scharwoude before moving to Amsterdam to study chemistry. After his studies he became a freelance science journalist. In 2005 he won the Glass Griffioen for a major article about the so-called hockey stick graph, a controversial climate graph. A few years later Marcel published the book De Staat van het Klimaat. In 2019, Marcel founded together with emeritus professor Guus Berkhout Clintel foundation on, a foundation that draws attention to the other side of the climate story, a much less alarming side. During the evening, Marcel will explain why he has come to different conclusions about the climate than, for example, most KNMI researchers.
