ICSF
The Irish Climate Science Forum (ICSF) was founded by Jim and others in 2016 and is composed of Irish scientists, engineers and other professions. It is committed to identifying and disseminating the latest climate science. Its members are characterized by an open and enquiring mind on climate science, driven by the imperative of objectivity without any vested interests.
The ICSF seeks a sustainable future for Ireland and its people. It aims to better inform national energy and climate-related policymaking in the best long-term national interest. It therefore arranges lectures and engages in relevant public consultations.
ICSF members are convinced that climate science is not yet settled and continues to evolve almost on a daily basis. On balance, ICSF members consider that observed climate variability is caused by some combination of low-sensitivity GHG and solar/natural influences, where the relative contributions of these are still open to ongoing observation and research.
ICSF therefore advocates progressive short/medium term climate/energy policies based on prudent energy efficiency and conservation, with continued economic growth, competitiveness and environmental sustainability as overarching objectives. Longer term policies should be based on evolving climate science and observations.
