As English speaking nations tire of the climate alarmist movement, other nations are picking up the torch.
Spanish government approves scientific panel to tackle climate change
By Rafael Salido
Published on 28/07/2026 – 19:47 GMT+2The Council of Ministers has approved the creation of an expert body to produce independent reports guiding public policy on climate change. Recruitment will open this summer and the panel is due to start work in the autumn.
On Tuesday the Council of Ministers approved the creation of a Scientific Panel on Action against Climate Change, a new advisory body that will provide “independent analysis” and “multidisciplinary analysis” to support the development of public policies related to the climate emergency.
“This working group will provide independent, rigorous and multidisciplinary analysis in response to the needs raised by government departments and will strengthen the integration of expert knowledge into public decision-making,” the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities said in a statement (source in Spanish).
…This council will be made up of ten researchers “of recognised standing”, from disciplines such as climate science, ecology, geography, water resources, sustainable agriculture, health, the marine environment, engineering for the ecological transition, environmental law, environmental sociology and behavioural sciences.

Given the wildfires currently raging in Spain, they might be better off hiring a committee of forestry experts. But it’s their dime.
Perhaps we can help them compile a list of climate scientists who should relocate to Spain, to help them with this new initiative.
El committeo del changio climato
How original
Perhaps an inquisition redo.
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
(Thanks, Scissor, for the straight line.)
Just designating it to deal with the “climate emergency” means they’ve already got the answer. This is just a rubber stamp collection of patsies.
Using the term “climate emergency” proves these idiots are psychotically deluded. Deprogramming of the brainwashed is needed.
They also said they plan to produce independent reports, so if those reports conclude that a climate emergency exists, the findings will carry additional weight because they were reached independently.
Independent… now that is funny from any position !!!
Just how naïve are you ???
Good question!
So, does this mean that prior to today Spain had no plan to deal with the climate emergency? Kind of late to the party, aren’t they? Maybe that’s why they had that recent blackout.
I doubt the Spanish will find anything new since there is no evidence showing CO2 has any discernible effect on the Earth’s climate or weather. Don’t hold your breath waiting for something new, Eldrosion.
Does this mean they’d first have to sensibly, credibly define which climates by their localities are in some sort of “emergency”?
As in, say, some localities are running out of “climate”?
And the “emergency” is that the locals can’t bulk-buy more “climate”, and hoard it like they did with toilet paper as they did at the COVID outbreak?
Curious minds etc, etc . . .
First they have to define “independent”. And then of course follow through with the independence. Only time will tell. 😉
This looks like classic sarcasm, and done well enough to get too many down votes.
With respect, you need to read a bunch of his posts (if you haven’t). They all have a common thread, and it ain’t sarcasm.
Given the poster, it is clear it is not sarcasm or intended humor of any sort.
“support the development of public policies related to the climate emergency”
This is their stated task, so the issue of “climate emergency” is a given. They are not being asked to independently ascertain if a climate emergency exists.
Please read more carefully.
” independent reports ”
Even you know that there is 0 independency in this charade.
But in case you don’t know – What is exactly ” climate emergency ” .
How is it defined?
What’s the difference between climate emergency and climate chaos?
How can you expect anything of value if the terminology is totally vague BS
on top of an agenda?
Your reading comprehension is abysmal.
“reached independently”
Based on what source materials?
What verification protocols are to be used?
They already concluded a “climate emergency” exists so everything that will follow is circular reasoning. You allowed yourself to be duped by false narratives that rely exclusively on circular reasoning to maintain the con.
Remember that the Left is all about control. Big Government never gives you Freedom.
It’s probably not hard to find that many stupid people. I think ridicule might be a weapon to expose the fallacy that Computer keyboard “experts” or those already indoctrinated have anything to add to true scientific endeavor.
I’ve been saying for a while now that shame is the only thing that might be able to turn the tide against the stupidity people have embraced. The brainwashed are immune to reason and are kept in their lane by denier shaming so we know they respond to emotional manipulation not empirical evidence.
For years I have tried to shame Simon in his being duped over Russia collusion, but it won’t help. The guy will go to his grave believing in a pee pee tape. When one goes over the deep end I have no idea how they can come back?
Have you ever considered that the reason he can’t post the pee-pee tape here or anywhere else is that he only has a 56th re-copy of it on VCR, and he’s been watching it 5 times a day, and no so now it’s just a jerky, smeared stretch of random colors (mainly yellow), featuring some snaps of a guy who looks suspiciously like Dirk Diggler?
“When one goes over the deep end I have no idea how they can come back?”
They have learning disabilities due to cognitive dissonance on steroids. They are sufficiently out of touch with reality to be considered mentally ill. That is a wicked problem yet to be solved.
The Simons of the world are a lost cause but my hope is the tide can be turned by a critical mass of people who’s egos will respond to shaming the sheer idiocy of their beliefs. I’ve spent decades using reason and empirical data to move the needle with little success for the climate brainwashed. Another approach needs to be tried…
Here is a shortcut for the panel to issue their first finding.
El fuego es caliente y destructivo, sin duda. Pero el CO2 no tiene NADA QUE VER con ello. Gracias por su atención a este asunto.
“As English speaking nations tire of the climate alarmist movement, other nations are picking up the torch.” Good one, Eric! Not making light of the people suffering loss in the fires, though.
That is all for now.
Plenty of people have been picking up the torch in France…
… the recent weather patterns basically ensure success.
Why should Spain be any different.
Es una tonteria.
Sure, because government “experts” like Fauci have provided such excellent guidance.
If climate trials could ever happen they would all have to take the 5th like Fauci did.
Fox News reports that Fauci took the 5th a total of 111 times….wow. He probably didn’t answer a single question, but Senator (Dr.) Paul gave him quite a lecture at the start of the hearing. The lecture probably gave Fauci a pretty good idea of the degree of contempt Senator Paul has for him.
And I don’t blame Senator Paul one bit.
The brain dead left still think Fauci is a hero..
Because he’s their hero. They don’t have many left.
The Left likes Fauci because Fauci promotes Big Government control of people’s lives.
They don’t even like him. They support him because they hate Trump. They’d rather see America burn than give the appearance of a Trump win.
Funny thing is, if he answered honestly questions about what was written in his journal, there would be no crime.
Biden too care of the un-Constitutional “pre-emptive” pardon.
That he took the 5th over 100 times paints him as guilty as can be, even if (just a possibility) he is not.
Breaking!
Laugh of the day –

Robert Kennedy’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci” is interesting reading.
I didn’t get the impression that Kennedy did all the writing. He had an impressive crew of researchers / contributors / collaborators in the credits, and the cited references take up about a third of the whole book.
I found his exposes about Fauci’s intrusions into the HIV/Aids responses very intriguing.
It’s fairly clear that Fauci used the same playbook for his COVID moves as he developed during the HIV/Aids epidemic –
firstly, effectively ban any & all other medications that weren’t the ones he was connected with.
(I think the movie “The Dallas Buyers Club” story-line was backgrounded on the Fauci shenanigans going-on with the constantly-delayed development of ‘vaccines’ & treatments for HIV/Aids sufferers. The support groups got frustrated & sick & tired of the frequent announcements of imminent miracle medical interventions that just weren’t materializing, so they set up an underground supply channel from South American countries.)
Requirement 1… must have an unwavering and totally unscientific religious belief that CO2 is a devil molecule that must be banished from the planet. !
Requirement 2.. Must wholeheartedly believe the myth that the world can function without hydrocarbon fuels.
I would throw in a brain type that is void of logical thinking as a start.
Recently Spaniards lost big on solar panels that the government would not pay for or something? A few years ago? They must all double down, can’t admit they were wrong.
You’d think Spain wouldn’t be down with solar panels since they came up with the idea of how to boost after dark power production. I’d figure the embarrassment from getting caught with those floodlights wouldn’t been enough shame.
Shining lights on solar panels at night!
We need to talk to the crew who carried that out.
The Spanish study should cross that technique out.
I doubt there’s many summers in Spain where it’s not dry enough to have massive wildfires.
Last year’s fires, in August Reuters reported….
“Ten people have been arrested since June 1, said police, who were investigating a further 38 for deliberately starting forest fires. ”
Assemble all the climate experts you want, it’ll just be a dangerous distraction, it won’t stop a thing.
Insanity is hereditary you get it from the government.
Climate fearmongers are like the Monty Python black knight.
So, more pesetas wasted when they should be spent fighting and preventing fires.
A legitimate panel would be dominated by engineers required to include total cost and reliability for delivering energy. Climate sociologists need not apply. Given the disposition of the antidemocratic
ruling coalition in Spain, I expect folks like Michael Mann to dominate.
I doubt they got good information from that waxen effigy we had as a president propped up in that photo. Or was he?
“(A) Panel of 10 Climate Emergency Experts”
The closest any of these clowns got to a ‘climate emergency’ is the A/C going out for an hour.
WUWT needs to assemble a team and have it on standby just for times like this. The very least we should do is collect the appropriate information and have it ready to send anywhere answering every possible climate question. The technical and scientific evidence must be there but the first stuff we send out should be easily understood by a high school sophomore.
My first question: How much does it pay?
Hey, the pay is only part of it!
Just imagine all those “conference” meetings that those “experts” will need to hold in exotic locales (such as Bali, Tahiti, Cancun, Santorini, Venice, Geneva, and Singapore) to properly share their great musings.
Hasn’t the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), with it’s annual COPs, already shown the way this works?
Oh, and I don’t want to overlook that taxpayers in Spain will pay all expenses for the “expert ten” and their necessary entourage, including jet travel, lodgings, fine wines and spirits, five-course meals and, of course, hookers and other entertainment as required.
Finally, FWIW, the title of this group, Scientific Panel on Action against Climate Change, is an oxymoron if I ever saw one. The Scientific Method makes no call for action for or against any subject it deals with . . . it is, as they say, politically “neutral”.
This must be an anti-Trump thing. Spain has problems that need examination and sane policies. “Climate emergency” isn’t one of them.
Someone needs to start a tally of the Euros devoted to this effort — beginning with the meeting of the Council of Ministers [cost of X members, Y staff, all extra custodians, etc.]. Every month a similar-cost alternative (opportunity) should be sent to media types. Example: How many cases of childhood blindness could have been prevented with a Vitamin A program to poor countries?
[I’m old enough to remember Senator William Proxmire’s Golden Fleece Awards.]
Long live socialistic Spain! And may God have mercy.
I live in an agricultural community. We seem to go through cycles of drought and flood, with a bit of weather good for farming in between. Most of the early part of this year was too cold for growth, but now we have a stretch of significantly hot weather. Every year is different, but almost nothing is truly unusual. Anyone of a certain age has seen this all before.
Most of the population is acutely aware and concerned about the weather, and what it will do next.
Almost no one has any concern at all about climate change. According to history, we had a mile of ice here ten thousand years ago. We’ve already had our climate change, now it’s just weather.
Take heart, I’m sure the silent majority here is the silent majority in many places.
There are viking artefacts being recovered from the edges of glaciers which recently receded, artefacts which were dropped on bare ground a thousand years ago, then shortly after covered with ice which stayed frozen until just a few months ago in some cases. The claim that our age is uniquely warm is complete nonsense.
If the horse they’re whipping isn’t already dead, it’s so lame that the race was lost long ago. Yet they’ve still found a way to make money on it as long as the taxpayers are forced to provide the money to keep it on the competitors’ list..
So what is the actual, really long term temperature and wildfire data?
Long-term, temperatures are rising. Relentlessly.
While wildfire trends vary by region, the risks are escalating across many parts of the world. For North America, the IPCC warns:
“Anthropogenic climate change has led to warmer and drier conditions (i.e., fire weather) that favour wildland fires in North America (high confidence) (see AR6, WGI, Chapter 12, Ranasinghe et al., 2021). In response, increased burned area in recent decades in western North America has been facilitated by anthropogenic climate change (medium confidence). Annual numbers of large wildland fires and area burned have risen in the past several decades in the western USA (USGCRP, 2017; USGCRP, 2018), and area burned has increased in Canada (although the number of large fires has declined slightly recently) (Gauthier et al., 2014; Natural Resources Canada, 2018; Hanes et al., 2019). Attribution studies have reported that climate change increased burned area in Canada (1959–1999) (Gillett et al., 2004) as well as the western USA (1984–2015) (Abatzoglou and Williams, 2016) and California (1972–2018) (Williams et al., 2019a).”

You make claims without good sources. The IPCC’s claims have been relentlessy disproved
I forget about the subjectivity involved in determining who is considered a reliable source.
People here strangely regard Paul Homewood as a credible source.
Every IPCC forecast has been wrong. Every climate doomsday has been past. That is not subjectivity
Paul is a far more credible source than the IPCC.. because he deals in science and real data …
… not junk science and mysticism,..
Oh the hyperbole. More sophistry.
Relentlessly: Acting in an extreme or harsh way that continues forward without a break.
So 1.4C over 175 years is extreme or harsh?
The temperature data does not support “continues forward without a break,”
2026 data shows a temperature decline.
IPCC Summary for Policy Makers is a political construct.
Some people have informed me that my particular “sense of humour” can best be described as (very) “dark” or “black”, while others have used the phrase “excessively cynical” (their emphasis).
While reading through the IPCC’s WG-1 contribution to the AR6 document cycle, AKA “The Scientific Basis”, back in 2021/2 I noted the following demonstrations of their “deductive reasoning skills” as particularly “eye-roll worthy” …
.
SPM section C.1.2, on page 23 :
.
Section 8.2.3.1, “Hydrological processes related to ice and snow”, on page 1072 :
.
Section 8.2.3.4, “Direct anthropogenic influence on the regional water cycle”, on page 1076 :
.
Finally, the one related to “fire weather” that the ATL article reminded me of.
In section 12.5.1, “A global synthesis” — the full title for Chapter 12 is “Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment” — on page 1852 :
Relentlessly 😉
No matter how imbecilic any one government leader gets about climate, another one finds a way to descend further into madness.
I think faceless institutionalization is the final step
“The Council of Ministers has approved the creation of an expert body to produce independent reports…”
The right kids will get lifetime jobs, nobody will read the reports, crisis averted.
(meanng this is the fade-away phase of the operation)
eg:
Who is the head of {fbi, cia, irs, joint chiefs of staff, who, nato, un, …} then there’s the sub committees in those multi-billion dollar organizations.
Bet the Spanish Ecowarriors now believe in Fuel Load Management and Firebreaks today .. reminds one of Northern Ca. pre 2018. Dumb is as Dumb does ..and all that ..
