Its from an MSM outlet that is why
@@conversandoando Yes it is. They must have just missed this one.
@@miked5106 You may have misinterpreted OP's comment.
Lol
“When you hear a scientist saying the science is settled, you know that person has stepped out of the science”
there is such a thing as consensus and we definitely have that with climate change
@@sharehard And that means you don't understand. Scientific consensus means more or less this: "currently, to the best of our current researches, measurements, and so on, that's a X% probability that the things are like this" (to keep it simple, I don't put into the formula politics and economy and lobbying and corporate interests funding certain researches worldwide, because it'd be hard to make a general picture in a comment; anyway, they are there to make the "consensus" very much less certain and granted.) This is light-years far away from saying "the science is settled". If you say this, you are stepping out of the science. And if you don't realize that because "well, but there's a consensus!" is the same to you, then you damage scientific research and advancement, and I suggest you the reading of books on the history of science, scientific errors in modern age, and of course epistemology essays.
@@konverzaktion2393 thanks for your recommendations. I have studied philosophy of science and the history of science. What is understood and where there is no contraversy among experts is that CO2 is causing an increase in global tempurature and the current increase in tempurature is largely anthropogenic. What the future will look like, impacts, how various systems of climate work... all of this is being refined and is full of uncertainty.
@@sharehard Perfect. Then, controversy or not apart, I really don't understand what your point on the citation was. But I suppose it doesn't matter as long as we agree on the key points, right?
@@konverzaktion2393 perhaps I was assuming you were coming from a relativistic or overly skeptical perspective. I hear many people say that nothing is settled in science therefore we don't have to take climate change seriously as an issue.
"everything is fine and OK"
This phrase will not make new headline
He won't make headlines because reality has debunked him.
Bogota is rationing water, Hawaii is in a water crisis, permafrost is melting, Kazakhstan is flooding, the East Coast is being pounded by storm after storm - and the hurricane season is just starting.
Pay attention to the news, not to one scientist who said something you agree with *10 years ago.* When the 99% of climatologists agree in something, that's not called propaganda, but scientific consensus, and you pay attention to it.
Aaron Rodgers: ‘If science can’t be questioned, it’s propaganda’. True that.
Science has determined that the earth is round. Propaganda?
If you question an established science, you should have facts and numbers more solid than your opponents. It's not the case here.

I was hired by the University of Maine, while a student, to test New England lakes for acidity levels. When I read the study I saw how they skewed the test to obtain the results that could only say acid rain in a problem. I challenged the presiding professor. Sure enough He admitted that they needed to prove that acid rain is problematic only because they were up for a ten million dollar grant. They confirmed, based upon my sample collections, they were going to submit fraudulent test results to the EPA purely to gain funding. When I refused to sign off on their skewered test results, I was promptly fired. How many other false narratives have Universities created solely to pocket from the government?
this should be made into a documentary or least broadcast on the news... even better, go talk to Rogan for 3 hours.
Yeah but...trust the science right?

CO2/plant food is only a problem in corrupt, fraudulent computer models.
Well, here is an answer that cannot be questioned… the whole climate scam is a lie.. pollution in the air actually helps to make it rain.. that’s why Europe and US are now suffering from droughts…
The only time it rains in these countries is when the atmosphere is filled with volcanic ash or sand particles from the Sahara… other wise the air is too clean for moisture to form into raindrops..😏

“We’re very sensitive to what politicians SAY & BELIEVE “, that’s a “shortcoming”……UNDERSTATEMENT

Thats lunacy and comes from somebody who very clearly is spending far more time hanging around politicians than scientists. Thats so crazy its amazing he said it. Politicians come and go all the time. If you are talkiing about FUNDING thats something different,but elected politicians are almost never on funding boards.
True that!
Yeah. So 1700 Scientists around the globe say otherwise? This is just one opinion. Glad you found one you agree with.
Here is an update of what the science has actually said. ruclips.net/video/52KLGqDSAjo/видео.html
Can't believe that the Boston Globe actually aired this. Not everyone has been bought out.
Mad respect to Boston Globe

That's how commies CONTROL you.
He casts doubt on everything, impugns motives, and closes with policy changes will hurt people.
The status quo would be a solution to data that shows status quo. It doesn't.
Here's a neat little factoid. Vikings settled in North America (Nova Scotia) during the Medieval Warming Period roughly 950-1260; about 500 years before Columbus "discovered" the New World. It was during this period of "global warming" that the northern oceans became ice free for the first time in centuries. This period of "warming" allowed the Vikings to colonize and grow crops in previously frozen areas of Greenland and Nova Scotia. During that period, the North West Passage, the northern most route to the Pacific, was also ice free; and it is believed by many historians and researchers that the Vikings actually passed from the Atlantic to the Pacific in their "Long Ships" and explored the West Coast as far south as California. Ah...those were the days when men were men!
After the passing of about 360 years, the cold temps, ice and snow returned and the tough Norsemen were forced to abandon their colonies as crops could no longer be grown or cattle grazed.
You know, it's all about the "Big Picture" - not about dissecting some micro-spec on a timeline miles long. This is about the Green-Progressives moving to control every aspect of our lives ,and society, by weaponizing the Warmest meme.
Cant agree with you about "many" historians. DEFINITELY agree with you about a time in history when it wasnt against the "law" to be masculine. The language of your posts last sentence was BRILLIANT.
It isn't "Green Progressives" doing what you say. Rather, thousands of reputable scientists have been studying this for a long time, and their collective assessment is that man-made climate change is real.
Your comment about Green-Progressives moving to control every aspect of our lives makes me think you are into conspiracy theories.
andyiswonderful Ok then,...so the government isn't messing with the weather patterns?...ever ? Whew!😰...that's totally some good news!
andyiswonderful he's not the only one, go back through history, scare mongering by govts has been around for sooo long!!
andyiswonderful PS Many, many real scientists, whi aren't govt funded to produce the 'right' results for them, would disagree that any global weather change is man made!!!!
"When you hear a scientist saying 'the science is settled', you know that person has stepped out of the science."
Alternatively, the experts who are in agreement that it IS real have a good reason to say so. We don't assume they're wrong just because we wish it were the case, we follow evidence and draw observations from that evidence. If we operated under your method humanity would still assume that miasmas caused disease and illness.

@@92belisarius Thank you for the question mark at least. No, of course not. The specific, incredibly complex science in question is CLIMATE science. That's what he's referring to with "THE science". We know a lot, but not near everything. Tens of thousands of variables, many of which we don't perfectly understand, many of which we can't possibly predict (such as solar activity), and a countless number of which are unknown ("countless" by definition).
If your disingenuous question is the best response you've got, well, I don't know what to tell you. You obviously have no sense of the complexity and chaos of reality. "We know A, therefore B, therefore C"... and all the way through to Z. That's what you guys do, with no intuitive sense of how much complexity and unpredictability is added with each "therefore". Absolutely no sense of how totally in over your heads you are at C, let alone Z... It's ridiculous. But I'm a realist, and I know this won't get through to you. I know the only thing that will convince you people of the folly of your doomsday alarmism is time. So I'm willing to wait. That's all I can do. Sit back and wait, while rolling my eyes. (But please, don't let me poop your panic party. Proceed...)
@@laseronion The people you are responding arent worth what you wrote. They are imbeciles and can not step out of the box to view different variables that disprove or meet half way with global warming.
@@DonkeyLipsDA3rd I assume they're pretty young, and that their over-simple way of viewing reality is something they have a good chance of growing out of. I remember buying into the scientifically "guaranteed" doomsday predictions of my youth. Time taught me, time will teach them (unless they get into careers that benefit from pushing the scariest narrative, i.e. politics, media, academia, etc; when money is at stake, it's tough to be objective).
I watched this video because I try to avoid confirmation bias. He said the earth is always changing, can't argue with that. You still need to take those changes into account.. If you own a home in the desert and your well goes dry it does not matter if the cause is natural, man made or little green men came down from Mars and took your water in the middle of the night your well is still dry.
The aquifer your well draws from was probably sucked dry by a Las Vegas desert golf course. What could be "more natural"?
The problem is that politicians take, "was probably", turn it into dogma for their militant base and sycophantic media, and pass laws that give gov goons the legal authority to assault peaceable ppl.

Jack Gray I was first told about climate change by one of my primary school teachers in the 60’s, he MUST have been a part of the early Ecology Movement to be that aware back then. He said scientists didn’t know if the pollution would trap the heat and cause a greenhouse effect, or the opposite and stop the Suns heat from passing into our atmosphere, thereby causing an Ice Age instead. Back then in the 60’s it wasn’t obvious which way it would go, as we was still getting regular heavy Snowfalls in winter in London. But since the 80’s it has become obvious that CO2 and other ghg gasses are trapping the heat and have caused a warming effect.
So yeah, let's find out if the world burns by letting the world burn. So the few remaining survivors can stand over the ashes and say "ha, the burning Earthers were right!".
Why the terrible fear of doing something? We have to change eventually since fossil fuels are a finite resource. The reason is just different. Instead of waiting until the last coal is dug out and the last drop of petroleum is sucked out we'll change because of the risk of climate change.
Lenard Segnitz Actually I don’t think they will run out of Oil before the whole earth is polluted, as more Oil is being found all the time, the idea that we have to change before it runs out is ludicrous. We are already on a mass extinction path and they still have decades of known Oil ‘reserves’.
The USA, was covered in a glacial sheet of ice across our Northern borders 10,000 years ago. The ice for some reason melted and receded to the north. Those glaciers carved out our Great lakes and their melting filled them with trillions of gallons of fresh water. So the real conundrum is, what made them melt? Who was burning all the fossil fuels that heated up the planet? Or, can we assume these events are cyclical?
Skip Rocker Exactly right!!!
Just the thought of burning fossil fuels scared the ice into melting.
Buffalo farts....
Skodaman2 Funny!!
I'll bet it was the Russians. Or perhaps White Privilege.
Talk to airline captains that have been flying over northern latitudes for the past 30 years. "Nothing has changed"
Whenever i hear a politician talking about global warming, the first question that comes to mind is, what is the temperature of the earth supposed to be? Like this guy pointed out, the planet’s temperature has changed over its existence. Which temperature is ‘right’?
Right temperature for who? Humans? Penguins? Trout? Inuit? Alligators? There is no one-size fits all temperature. The right one for humans would be one that didn't melt icecaps, raise sea levels, intensify hurricanes and increase drought, extreme precipitation events and wildfires.
you grouped Inuit with trout and alligators. @@swiftlytiltingplanet8481
The one we had before industrialization please.
The "right" temperature is one where life can continue unimpeded. The rate of change of the temperature is the problem due to humans burning fossil fuels, because life can't adapt quickly enough, and many things die out/degrade/etc.

This feels like a breath of sanity. I have had serious doubts about the agenda behind global warming/climate change dogma since it first appeared, and I consider myself an environmentalist.. clearly there is a concerted effort to have us terrified for reasons unknown. Anyone have any ideas?
guessing.. now you know; Devos club, fascist, global control
Reason #1, Money plain and clear. By terrorizing the public with predictions of global warming and sea levels rising,,,,,,,, it gives our and other governments a reason to tax people. Carbon tax etc. It's all about a so called good reason to tax the general people. But,,,,,, where does the money go?????? Certainly not to any avenue for climate change.
All university science research prof are scared to speak out because of possibly being unemployed for life. In my college years we were writing papers on the upcoming ice age of 2030. Early 1970's. In mine I talked about the 40 to 50 year cycle of temperature change warmer or colder
When a volcano like Mt Helen in Washington is erupting during its peak 5 hours it emits massive amounts of carbon. During the week it was starting it emits carbon. But lets take 30 minutes of the peak. If every car in the US including all 35 of Jay Leno's garage,every old lady who rarely drives, etc were to drive 50000 mikes that year they would have emitted roughly 95 % as much carbon as that 30 minutes. It erupted 5 hours. The volcano in Hawaii erupt almost daily for 10 minutes. So yes we are a factor but by far no where near what nature provides.

When you have someone who claims not to worry, but doesn't make a single attempt to rebut any of the evidence, that should be a red flag.
When you are trying to convince sheep you dont need logic.
Seems to me he did rebut the evidence for the things he's talking about. What should he rebut in your view? He said temperatures are changing (does not challenge this) but challenges the categorical claims that 'life as we know it will cease to exist' inevitably follow as a result of this temperature change.

@@bathtubgin404 There are plenty of influential people talking about an impending 'existential crisis' from climate change. This involves somewhere between a lot of life perishing and all life perishing, depending on your understanding of 'existential'. I've heard politians talking about life coming to an end as well. I can't find what he says here about Ban-ki Moon but Moon did say "We are the last generation that can fight climate change" which is kind of a dogma as well, as this is not a categorical conclusion that is warranted by the models at all! I take what he says in this video as a critique of that kind of over-simplification of the problem. Politicians and the intelligentsia are all bought off by someone so perhaps he has an agenda or conflict of interest, but I must say I find his views here logical.

These alphabet soup of organizations include NASA, NOAA, JMA, WMO, NSIDC, IPCC, UK Met Office, and others. Click on the names for links to their climate-related sites. There are also climate research organizations associated with universities. These are all legitimate scientific sources.
If you have to dismiss all of these scientific organizations to reach your opinion, then you are by definition denying the science. If you have to believe that all of these organizations, and all of the climate scientists around the world, and all of the hundred thousand published research papers, and physics, are all somehow part of a global, multigenerational conspiracy to defraud the people, then you are, again, a denier by definition.
So if you deny all the above scientific organizations there are a lot of un-scientific web sites out there that pretend to be science. Many of these are run by lobbyists (e.g.., Climate Depot, run by a libertarian political lobbyist, CFACT), or supported by lobbyists (e.g., JoannaNova, WUWT, both of whom have received funding and otherwise substantial support by lobbying organizations like the Heartland Institute), or are actually paid by lobbyists to write Op-Eds and other blog posts that intentionally misrepresent the science.”

"Is the temperature increasing or decreasing.... it's always doing one or the other"...... EXACTLY!!!
Not an an equivalent rate when you take global industrialization into effect. Yes it changes and goes up and down over thousands of years, but the variables have change dramatically since the creation of our new societies. We don't have enough information to say that it's natural. Humans tend to take action only after shit has hit the fan rather than preventing it in the first place.

@@WyattCayer If you don't have enough information to say that it's natural, you therefore do not have enough information to say that it's man made. Basic logic. The climate is probably one of the most complex problems in science. No one really knows how it works exactly. As such, some scientists lazily just plug in CO2 to explain that which we don't fully understand. Primitive men used this same technique throughout history, except they used to gods to explain stuff that they didn't understand.
@@HiDeguild And here is Richard Feynman's rebuttal to the pseudo-scientific claims made by the AGW hypothesis community. ruclips.net/video/tWr39Q9vBgo/видео.html
Here are the Takeaways:
1. "The temperature of the earth is always changing. It's always going up or down." Which is why they had to change the Boogeyman from "The Coming Ice Age!" and "Global Warming!" to "Climate Change!" And yes, the exclamation points are part of the logos.
2. "By asking people to worry about whether it's going up or down you are immediately establishing dishonesty."
3. "The climate is always changing. It's nothing you have to prove. It always is happening. It's always has happened." Climate change is nothing new or unique or even alarming.
4. "So to make that [climate change] into something alarming seems a little bit weird."
5. "The trouble is, all of us scientists are government employees. Even if we're working for private universities. All research is supported by the government. As such, we are very sensitive to what politicians say and believe."
6. "You know when you hear a scientist say, "The science is settled," you know that person has stepped out of the science."
7. "How could do many people agree if it wasn't true," I think should be a red flag."
8. When it's conflated, "Temperature is changing. Climate is changing. Man played some role... With predictions of disaster that are clearly not connected to warming activities or anything else, leaving people with the thought that off the first part is true the second part must be true, is certainly not the case."
9. "Then to add insult to injury, to propose policies that would have nothing to do with any of it, but involve trillions of dollars in harm to many people, I think, is crossing over the line."
Thank you for this.
And all in the name of profit.
To say "the temperature of the earth is always changing" says nothing about the certain reality of rapid global warming and is nothing more than an obtuse dodge.

Take for instance Hansen's 1989 temperature forecast for a scenario with linear C02 growth. That's the scenario that became reality.

To say that the climate is always changing and so there is no problem is incomplete thinking! The question is whether humans are affecting the natural processes that would normally occur. In particular, are we causing the climate to change faster than it would otherwise? If humans cause the climate to change in 100 years as much as it would normally change in 50,000 years (or more!) -- might not that be a problem? It's true that humans are adaptable, and life in general is adaptive --- but if the change is too fast, plants and animals cannot adapt quickly enough, they go extinct.

Richard S Lindzen is one of the most distinguished atmospheric physicists alive and has made important contributions to dynamic meteorology. Back in the 1970s his papers were required reading during my PhD studies. I'm not surprised about his views on climate change; he has never held back in speaking out about theories he disagrees with. Climate change is a complex subject and one needs to keep up with new developments but despite no longer working professionally in atmospheric physics I feel that, knowing his arguments against in far more detail than presented here, I am still definitely not a denier of the facts.
"Richard S Lindzen is one of the most distinguished atmospheric physicists alive...." Uh, actually, no one cites Lindzen as an expert in any science field.
With respect, you need to do some research on Linden's career because i think you would find that he is one of the most quoted atmospheric physicists, especially when he was working out the theory of atmospheric tides back in the 1960s, but he has made important contributions since then and has been an adviser to several high level politicians.@@Desertphile

That coral bleeching has already destroyed more than half of the Great Barrier Reef? That wildfires in the Arctic have reached apocalyptic dimensions? That Arctic sea ice is down to a fraction of what it used to be some decades ago etc. These are not forecast or predictions. These things are happening right now. And this is just the beginning.
He,s right I used to live in a place which was 150 years ago under the sea.
Possibly holland.
@Smarmy Fellow Bikini Bottom. Where Sponge Bob lives. (i'm being sarcastic)
Some of the predictions of climate change include: an increase in the incidence of wildfires, glaciers retreating, rising sea levels, an increase in the number and severity of hurricanes, ocean temps increasing..... all have occurred. Lindzen is very accomplished. He has also taken large amounts of money from coal companies and the Cato Institute. He has also pushed back on the connection between smoking and lung cancer
Back in the 90's George H. Bush and the GOP acknowledged that human activity contributed greatly to the change in climate. Exxon also produced an intensive study that also confirmed human activity and climate change. That should make us wonder what changed in the political discourse from the Right. I think that following the donations from oil and coal could give an indication
So basically you would rather believe a politician than a scientist? What if the other party had said those things, would you believe it then? How much money have those made that are promoting climate change? Even Greta Thunberg is now a millionaire (gives it all away but keeps a couple of million back for "expenses" apparently).
There are many things that can be explained there that have nothing to do with global warming. Arson is known to be one of the biggest causes of wildfires, and "accidental" triggers like dropped cigarette ends. But you never hear that when they're reporting them on the news. Glaciers retreating? NASA said that the Antarctica was getting colder because the glaciers were growing. The earth is known to tilt slightly over time, that could be why temperatures change in different areas, why it's now colder in Antarctica and warmer in the North.
Where I live the sea level has never changed, there are water level markers that are the same as they were when I arrived in the area 45 years ago. Maybe the sea level doesn't change where I am, who knows? Storms differ all the time, I remember the worst storm ever in the UK was in the 1950s when over 200 died. That was 70 years ago. I've seen the waves frozen as they came over the rails, that was 50 years ago. What he says makes a hell of a lot of sense, and I'll guarantee that in another 100 years nothing will have changed.
This video was difficult to find. It (YT) claimed I was not online, but after watching this serious speaker Professor Lindzen, I will check elsewhere what he says more recently. I do this following the dangerous move by German politicians yesterday putting in place new laws which would make life drastically different, and be a billion euro industry. Money, not science drives the final decision. As a scientist with 40 years experience and an environmentalist for 50 years, I see the greed for money by the elite to be controlling what the headlines are.

There's also the question of volcanoes and their effect on climate. The Krakatoa eruption in 1883 was said to have had a cooling effect that lasted nearly a hundred years, and as recent as 1991 the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines has been said to have negated all the efforts of man in trying to reduce emissions.
Insightful take, thank you.
There is little question of volcanoes and their effect on climate. It's been measured. We've measured the gases in the lava streaming from volcanoes. We've measured the gases in the atmosphere above and around active volcanoes. We know how much and what kind of gases come from volcanoes. If volcanoes were the cause of our global atmospheric carbon dioxide levels going from 300ppm in 1911 to 350ppm in 1988 to 400ppm in 2015 we would know it. Instead, we know it is not the reason. We know it is us. Humans mining billions of tons of carbon based fossil fuel and burning it every year.
The cooling effect of Krakatoa was, as you stated, temporary. The warming effect of burning fossil fuels, as we have been (and deforestation), will make drastic changes over decades with lasting effects for many thousands of years. Taking billions of tons of a carbon out of the long term underground (millions of years) storage and putting it in our atmosphere and oceans where it will take millions of years to naturally return to below ground long term storage has consequences. You can see this in increasing glacial melt, drought, flooding and forest die off data every year.
Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines did not negated all the efforts of man in trying to reduce emissions (carbon dioxide). If you look at the measured levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere 1991 is just one step in the ladder. Below is 20 years of data from the Mauna Loa Observatory with 1991 roughly in the center,

He may be learned but he is not credible. At least not when it comes to climate change and burning fossil fuels.
From what I can tell Ian Rutherford Plimer is in the same camp as the guy in the video. That people listen to them and believe them is scary. They are both wrong.
Show me the numbers please. How many tons of carbon dioxide were released into the atmosphere by the 1991 Mt Pinatubo eruption?Provide a link to your source(s). And while you're at it think about it... just a little. If one volcanic eruption puts that much carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere how did the global atmospheric average not go over 280ppm for the last 2 million of years during which time many many volcanoes erupted?
It's us spiking the carbon dioxide levels in this planet's atmosphere, not the volcanoes. Certainly not over the last 150 years. It's us.
If you're looking for better information call the science department of three or more universities near you. Ask them if burning fossil fuels is the biggest reason for carbon dioxide levels rising in our atmosphere. Ask them if it's causing climate change. Ask them if it will make the world more difficult to live in. Ask them. It's very unlikely you'll talk to someone like Ian. He's an idiot on climate change and there aren't very many idiots like him around.

For all scientists around the globe in every country to be in on a lie would require millions of people lying with no whistleblowers, it's not even feasible. The reason people think this is common sense is because it's simple and easy to understand. Reality isn't always like that though.
He's gone around giving talks like this and accepting money from coal companies. So tell me about motive and funding? NO Tell me about science.
Do you also believe the earth is flat? Go back some time, and common sense would have you believing it is
