The Climate Intelligence Group, known by the name Clintel, originated in Holland but is now international and is responsible for organising the World Climate Declaration which concludes that there is no climate emergency. This has been signed by hundreds of leading scientists, as well as many unknown ones like me. The link below is a good summary of the strong arguments for the case against a climate emergency, which are rarely mentioned in the mainstream media. I recommend it to all those with an open mind on the subject. There is much other interesting material on the website as well.
The climate models from 50 years ago got it right.

Climate change doubters have a favorite target: climate models. They claim that computer simulations conducted decades ago didn't accurately predict current warming, so the public should be wary of the predictive power of newer models. Now, the most sweeping evaluation of these older models—some half a century old—shows most of them were indeed accurate.
"How much warming we are having today is pretty much right on where models have predicted," says the study's lead author, Zeke Hausfather, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley.
Climate scientists first began to use computers to predict future global temperatures in the early 1970s. That's when newfound computing power coincided with a growing realization that rising carbon dioxide levels could boost global temperatures. As the issue gained public attention, critics questioned the reliability of rudimentary model predictions. Even a 1989 news article in Science radiated skepticism, stating that "climatologists may have a gut feeling that the greenhouse effect is heating up the Earth, but they have not been close to proving it."
1998 which was a blow out year of warming is long gone from the 10 warmest years on record. CO2 being put into the atmosphere is our culprit that we put there.
