What is CONSEQUENTIAL is that fact that all this green social engineering is being driven by woke politicians who get their information from “experts” that don’t even know the basics, like the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Thank you for showing that you have such a woke bias that you missed that most salient point.
The voters are all still parroting these lies. So they continue to vote for the corruption thats pocketing the money. To be fair, it's not all bad. EPA/CARB has done some good but at what cost? It was all band-aid fixes. Now California roads are garbage, money spent elsewhere. Electrical Infrastructure is approaching 60 years behind upgrades. Now we need electric cars? California can not handle the ones we got. Locally a transformer blew up last week. Age? Life-cycle acceleration? Demand? Young voters are voting for this.
Who is attempting to regulate our lives? Seems like anyone with power is on the fast track. The greenhouse effect was demonstrated around 1850. Oil and gas has known of global warming from burning fossil fuels since the 1950's. The issue started going public in the 1980's. Coincidentally the tobacco knew about addiction to nicotine and extreme health risks due to smoking in the 1950's but kept it out of the public discourse for decades. I graduated high school 1965. Despite their knowledge of health risks and probably because of the knowledge of addiction cigarette companies where handing out smokes at blue collar work places and marketing the hell out their product. Self interest over the good of all. That is who is attempting to regulate or avoid regulation that would change the flow of cash. Why are so many Americans ignorant of the whole picture? People commenting on this video seem, for the most part, to cling to and repeat only the stuff that suits their biases. One thing I would ask is just how much change to affect production of fossil fuels or change to an economy that is more sustainable have we seen and how much has it cost? By 1990 the US had spent $10 T on the nuclear portion of the cold war ($20 T in 2020 dollars). None of that benefited the ordinary American.
@@wallyhunt The cold war effort benefitted none? Are you a moron? Seems like you are. The birth of electronics industry that puts millions of people to work around the world stems from cold war. Inventions that stems from the space effort that originates from that same cold war puts another few millions of people around the globe to work. From chemicals industry to textiles to plastics. Even the chemical that turns your ordinary frying pan to nonstick ones came from that cold war. Clearly you can't see any of these since your IQ point is the same value as the CO2 in the atmosphere
How embarrassing and disgraceful it is that people who are in charge literally know nothing about the things they are forcing onto the general public, despicable.
My physics textbook from 1970 states CO2 is 0.04%. Now more than 50 years later the answer still is.....0.04%. (Edit: Now it is a year later and I have been inundated with replies (several hundreds). Some are polite and some are nasty and arrogant. I worked in a qualitative/quantitative/thermal analysis laboratory for 34 years at a large university. Please do not insist that atmospheric CO2 is never reported as a percent. That is incorrect. I had a state of the art Gas Chromatograph, and reports were always generated as percentages in scientific notation which makes sense because you cannot report "contents" in different units when the normalized total is 100%. Lastly, the original comment was a simple factoid which for some odd reason offends many people. I am 71, and if I said that "55 years ago I saw something unusual or interesting", why would you countermand it? It was a very simple statement that (at the time) I had no reason to disbelieve or believe; my life has not revolved around this textbook. My basic point is: why is everyone quibbling over 40 to 45 ppm of CO2? Please accept that IMO it is not harmful. If you have a different opinion that is fine with me. IMO, stating that CO2 has risen by a third in the last century means nothing to me. Stating it has risen by 45 PPM in the last 60 years is at least objective. Please refrain from posting comments that are not objective. Thank you.
It’s a total humiliation that those panelists can’t answer such a simple question while wanting to impose $multi-billion laws. Frankly they should all resign.

I’m live in Michigan and suffered through the Gov Granholm era here. I worked in public utility regulation for 30 years. Granholm tried to impose a 90% reduction in mercury emissions from coal-fired electric power plants. When my agency and utility private sector experts informed her that the equipment to measure that level of emissions did not exist her response was “if we impose the regulation then the industry will invent the necessary instruments.” They still cannot measure mercury emissions that small. So of course Biden made her Secretary of DOE. She is an attorney with zero technical knowledge of energy.

@@sparkyfromel Ok that was a bit rhetorical of a question on my part. Oil and gas per the biogenic theory of origin comes from marine organisms not land plants. And how productive each region of ocean is for sediments resulting in kerogen once it is free of ice cover may not vary too wildly. As to global warming, there is a factor most ignore and that is the weakening of our planet's magnetic field. It maybe a much stronger factor than CO2. It is said by some most of the green house effect comes within the first couple of hundred ppm of CO2 such current increases in CO2 have negligible effects. Currently, I've not formed a strong opinion except that those who push the CO2 heating theory are a best poorly informed and at worst are pushing a false narrative for profit and even malice. Could the elites be correct? Maybe somewhat but even their solutions may be worse than the problem. I am more focused on WW3 (end times), economic crash, increasing of totalitarian controls, the Covid and Vaxx crimes being pushed by Facebook, the UN, the WHO, the UK,. the USA, China, etc, etc.

Pretending that the % of CO2 in the atmosphere is in any way relevant or a number ur supposed to know if u claim to be an expert on the topic is not common sense. It is showing that you are staggeringly ignorant on the theory.
@@360lootgoon3 Even though it would seem that CO2 levels are very low since they make up 0.04% of our atmosphere, that represents an increase of 43% since the industrial revolution began. Not only that, but with CO2, even a miniscule change from 0.04% to 0.05% can have devastating effects on the planet. I'm not sure what percent of CO2 would have to be in the atmosphere before you would start to care, but it doesn't take much to change drastically. And either way, Fossil Fuels are a finite resource. We will run out and that is a fact. Why not invest in tech that can give us renewable energy from the sun, wind, and water. Or invest in nuclear. You really think pumping millions of tons of CO2, a proven greenhouse gas and nonbreathable gas is fine for either people or the planet?
@@360lootgoon3 Correct the % of CO2 in the atmosphere is entirely irrelevant to climate change. It is about the increase in CO2 in ppm and how this inhibits the earth from regulating its temperature.

But in so doing also be sure to remember that 0.00006% of the atmosphere is responsible to blocking 99% of cosmic radiation. And also remember we are currently in a solar minimum (sun is colder) since 2019, which logically should result in atmospheric cooling... which isn't happening in our layer, only in the layers above the 0.00006% I mentioned earlier. Considering that that 0.00006% layer is currently growing, and that that growing should also cause cooling in our layer, it is clear that something is causing warming.

When I was a child ( a long time ago) we were told that in under 50 years we would run out of oil and coal and then given all of the scary things that this would create. We were given lists of animals that would be extinct in 20 years, including tigers and elephants. We were told that sea levels would rise and London would be flooded, we were told we were heading for a new ice age and would all freeze to death, we were told that the ozone layer would be depleted within 100 years and we would all fry to death. You would think that they would have at least got one nearly right - unfortunatley due to simple entropy there are some animals that will die off, there will be various changes in climate and the natural world but killing off human beings through poverty and famine to try and stop it is clearly not the answer.
Many of us have seen these radicals make dire predictions for decades that never came to fruition. We know by experience that they're frauds, but the younger generations are true believers!

The woman claims "... we know that transportation causes 49% of CO2..." which is also completely wrong. According to the EPA , "greenhouse gas emissions from transportation account for about 27% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions". It is embarrassing how ignorant those so-called "experts" are.

Big Ag is one of the primary REASONS we have a water shortage out west. They're the primary consumers. Residential water consumption is only 5% of the total. So yes, when you incentivize farmers to grow almonds, for instance, of course they're going to go to greater lengths to grow almonds even if the market forces don't incentivize it; because the government is handing out free money. And almonds are one of those crops that is insanely thirsty. So yes there are many forces that shape the industry. But federal subsidy is easily the biggest.

Science lesson: If carbon dioxide is currently roughly estimated at 400 PPM. Then it would be .04% of the troposheric content. CO2 only holds about 40% of the infrared radiation striking the Earth's surface. Even that eventually makes it out of our atmosphere back into space. It's like a blanket that self regulates, or like a thermostat that maintains a comfortable surface temperature. There are a lot of misnomers about the greenhouse effect. If the greenhouse effect could so easily run away and heat the surface of the Earth to an unlivable Venus like temperature, then it would have occurred many times in the past, and none of us would be here. Earth has experienced what are referred to as greenhouse periods in geologic history. The P.E.T.M. 56 million years ago, for example. But it was the orbital variances and the axial tilt of Earth that were responsible. Not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide levels only rise when the co2 molecule is excited by heat. Heat on the surface is caused by infrared radiation exciting molecules, which is friction, which causes heat. Another misnomer is that methane is the most potent of all greenhouse gases. Technically, It is. But methane can not exist for too long in the presence of oxygen because it oxidizes into water and carbon dioxide, Ending it's role in the carbon cycle. Anthropogenic warming theory leaves out water's role as the most prevalent greenhouse gas. Al Gore made that statement very early on in this conspiracy theory. It's in his "fictional movie." Water vapor is the only reason why any of us are alive today. Water vapor contains a specific amount of carbon dioxide from winter to summer, from greenhouse period to glacial period. Water absorbs carbon dioxide when it is cold, and it emits carbon dioxide when it is warm. It rises and falls with the amount of infrared radiation that is striking the earth's surface. Take the money out of the climate change conspiracy theory, and nobody will be talking about it anymore.
remember, we do not know how much CO2 is needed to raise the earths temperature. Mars a smaller planet has the same tonnage of CO2 as the earth, instead of a half a percent of their atmosphere it is 95 percent of it's atmosphere, and Mars is frigid. So CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but we don't know how much it takes to make a difference, all we do know is if it gets below 300 PPM the plants start dying, and we are trying to be net zero, and we are fighting forest fires, the natural CO2 plant savers, we could kill the planet trying to save it.
Im in southern oregon and have the paperwork to deliver water to the forest fire fighters, but we cant get the paperwork to deliver to northern california because our truck is not new enough and may put off too much pollution. They dont know if it does, but at that age, they believe it will. Now im pretty sure fires will put out smoke longer and kill more wildlife if theres no water to fight them.
*Totally stupid question! For example, the proportion of CFCs in the atmosphere is only 0.0000x%. * Even these minimal quantities (1 CFC molecule per x million others) destroy the ozone layer. Since 1960, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen by almost 40% and temperatures in Europe by over 1.5 degrees.
That's because it's in the northern hemisphere, the Southern Hemispheres temperatures had dropped even more, so on average the global temperatures have dropped. It's the Sun that causes climate change not CO2, the sun creates warmer temps, which creates more co2, not the other way around.
@@Shrebina-kq4cs For reference, let's consider the effects of the Tambora eruption in 1815. Temps dropped by almost a full degree globally and the result was a gigantic famine in Yunnan province, China, and general climatic instability that can be traced globally. Macroclimatic changes, even if they're only a few degrees, can cause serious damage, whether it's a few degrees down, or a few up.
Just because co2 is necessary, it doesnt mean that more is good. The balance is important. If there were more fractionally more oxygen then fire wouldn't be extinguished and we'd all burn. So writing off climate change as bogus isnt a good idea either.
With that sentence you just make yourself ridiculous because you show that you dont understand the topic. Bevore humans started burning fossile coal and gas plants already grew and the co2 concentration in the air was constant. So if we stop buring stuff plants will still grow. Like talking to a 4 year old kid...

@@firebush1343 well to be fair you do have an over reliance on cars there in the US, a problem that won't be solved with EVs either (at least not with electric cars).
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Before the industrial revolution, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 288 ppm. We have now reached about 414 ppm, so we are on the way to doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by the end of this century. Scientists say that if CO2 doubles, it could raise the average global temperature of the Earth between two and five degrees Celsius

Germany has done the same thing- their diesel fleet was already the cleanest in Europe (possibly the world), but additional regulations forced the removal of vehicles that were already the cleanest in Europe to be replaced with new “greener” vehicles. Worse yet, those vehicles that were replaced were rendered inoperable so they could not be exported to other countries with old, less efficient fleets of diesel cars/trucks. No BS, I personally witnessed it.

The thing that seems odd to me about the global warming/melting icecaps sthick is if anything the ocean level would stay roughly the same or drop. Water has the peculiar function of occupying a greater volume when it turns solid. Meaning when said icecaps melt either the lost displacement would cause the water level to drop (because less overall volume occupied) or it would stay about the same because there'd be a greater quantity of liquid H20 in said oceans to offset said volume shift.
@@aguyontheinternet9095 - Your point is correct for the ice cap at the North Pole because that ice is floating in the water.

@stargazer7644 The significance is these people claim to be experts. Yet they do not understand something as basic as that number. As for radon that's more EPA. Out doors normal background. Is roughly .4 pCi/L. Once that gets between 1 and 2 it's a concern. 4 is the EPA action level. How do I know thus? I Looked it up. The same as these so called experts should have.
@@stargazer7644 the significance is children learn that at school. If they were unable to learn something specific for their job from school they aren’t even incompetent, they are just ignorant.
@@Mythhammer These are politicians. They do not claim to be experts. They consult experts, and they make laws. You didn't answer the question I asked. What percent of radon in air is 4 pCi/L? What is the significance of that number? Why is it 4 and not 2, or 400? You're demonstrating my point. The fact that you were able to pull 4 out of the internet doesn't tell you anything about the significance of that number. Even if one of the reps had uttered 400 parts per million, that wouldn't mean they know any more than you do why 4 pCi/L is significant, or have any idea how that relates to a percentage of radon in air.
This is EXACTLY correct, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is pathetically small, plants are right on the edge of suffocation. If we put more CO2 in the atmosphere plant life would explode with vibrancy & then when the trees began to multiply the global temperature would become milder. They do NOT want more life on Earth, they want LESS.
No, increasing CO2 doesn't make plant life do a lot better. Plant life is adapted to a world with about 300PPM of CO2. The CO2 content right now is over 400PPM. There is no huge increase in plant life and some varieties are actually having trouble. We need water to drink but we can also drown.
@@kensmith5694 You should actually look at the evidence instead of just trusting "the narrative" as it will limit your ability to critically think through this stuff. The reality is that there has been MUCH more CO2 in the biosphere in the past & the plant life was much more plentiful as a result. We have been though many surges in the CO2 amount & the plants went through greening surges as a result, but unfortunately so much of the CO2 of the past is now locked away in limestone & fossil fuels. Even just with the amount of extra CO2 we have released into the biosphere since the industrial revolution has measurably increased the greening of the planet, so you are completely incorrect about this. The fact is that the evidence shows our star the Sun is the only significant source of any change in climate on Earth & when the sun increases the temperature on Earth, the amount of CO2 goes up as a result.
@@kensmith5694 Ken with all due respect, you are simply wrong. Increased co2 increases the health and size of plants. This has been shown by simple teenage science fair projects. Also, with more co2 the plants require significantly less water since they develop fewer structures to take in Co2. I have seen estimates that with a doubling of co2 the Sahara desert would bloom and reduce the severity and frequency of hurricanes impacting North America. Also, having a bunch of biologists and geologists in the family I have had the benefit of the truth. As a retired businessman, all I can say is if someone comes to me saying in exchange for all my liberty and freedom he will control the weather, I say bulls**t!
@@kensmith5694 Yes it does. Green houses for commercial vegetables use CO2 generators machines in order to increase the percentage of CO2 inside the green house to make the crops grow faster and bigger. Go to a green house farmer and you see it by yourself.
There's always been "climate change," it's called Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. C02 is good for plants & animals; plants flourish with more C02, animals eat the plants & flourish, people eat the animals and plants and flourish. Or, we can cut C02 and start dying out. Which do you choose?
The compliant sheep would come back with: No! Climate change is measured in 30 year weather cycles!!!! and then they would fail in noting what the weather was like 30 years ago, and what the prevailing theory was back then.. Part of me wonders if they fully consumed enough of the climate change koolaid, and will plan their own little "Jones Town like celebration", in the next 6 years. But then I realize, just how amazing its going to be, in watching them realize their junk "doom clock" in Chicago, wasn't real.. 🤭
It's hilarious seeing the CO2 truck behind the woke campus refilling the cafeteria and science bldg tanks. Not to mention at the greenhouses at the horticultural annex
What happens if you have some insulation, and you mix in an other kind of insulation? Will it isulate more or less? That depends on whether, the added type is a better or worse insulator (If we don't look into what mixing them might do chemically, as we - I - never have heard anyone talk about that) or just happens to have the same effect. It's not like we go from 100 % atmosefere to more than 100% (not like putting an extra blanket on top of the currect one) so before someone proves, and tells us about, what the numbers are, and what they result in, I'll go with the historical data, that says, Co2 LAGS temperature NOT the other way around..
So what did you learn? Did you learn WHY non-scientists claim the proportion of atmospheric CO2 is relevant? If so, I must have missed that bit. Perhaps you can direct me to the timestamp where this happened.
@@MrYahboo - What we “learned” from the video, is that government bureaucrats, that spend billions of our tax dollars, and make rules/laws for the peasants to live by, have absolutely no knowledge about the topic at hand. If you can’t see the hoax by now, there is probably no hope for you. The big, bloated, corrupt, inefficient, ineffective, self serving government is not your friend.
@@MrYahboo Well, I didn't know that CO2 represented only .04% of atmospheric gases. No doubt you did; so it's a shame you weren't on the panel. Otherwise, to say we "learned" something is perhaps too strong. It would be more accurate to say that the video provided further evidence that climate change activists have no clue what they're talking about. As for the timestamp, you might want to look at the upper left-hand corner of the video for the date of the hearing.
Informative? How? What did you learn? Do you honestly expect leglators to know the details of climate science to make decisions on fighting climate change? Or to know anything about road construction to debate infrastructure funding? Or that they are trained in medicine before voting on funding your local hospital. You are cheering on a show boating politician for raising Red Herrings instead of solving problems.
@@marcusthespotus the problem here is that the number is correct, but the minimal change from 0.028%, which was the pre-industrial level to 0.04% which we have now, does indeed have tremendous consequences for the balance of energy in the atmosphere. Regardless of this shit show in which one ignorant shames some other ignorants.

Brian, I'm afraid we all neglect the fact that we have voted for leaders who do what they are supposed to do: they take care of their popularity in order to keep power, that's what every politician does because it wouldn't be rational to behave otherwise. Having choice between good and what appears good they choose the first because it's what the majority expects from them. We are trapped and the only solution would be to educate believers who incidentally are voters. However I seriously doubt education is what politicians as well as voters are interested in. They prefer getting simple answers appearing to be right ones.
Doug LaMalfa is my Congressman. 20 years ago, I was asked by my city to be part of a team to go to the bay area to lean about the turf they planned to use in their sports complex. In less than one hour, I learned more than the entire city council from my home. They were voting to spend over one million dollars. It sadden me to think not one of them spent even an hour researching before voting to give away that kind of money.
Amazing. Mind blowing. Insane. THE MOST CRITICAL, RELEVANT & IMPORTANT QUESTION! "What % of the Atmosphere is CO2" A minute, tiny weeny fraction = 0.04%. Not one of these GOONS (experts/authorities) has the remotest clue! Also, this is 1st time I have heard ANYONE pose this obvious & critical question. Just goes to show. Vast majority of humans are just plain stoopid! How about critical Question No2 - "what % of Greenhouse gasses is CO2" The biggest Greenhouse Gas is WATER VAPOUR! Should we get rid of WATER - to save us from Global Warming? What a ridiculous & pathetic shit-show that has been foisted upon us. Lies, lies. lies & more lies
It wouldn't work in schools because educated people know that climate change doesn't happen because of giant shifts in atmospheric composition. It happens when we have tiny shifts due to human pollution. Businessmen crying about profits are going to cause massive disaster that actual smart people will have to try and fix.
To show the world why Doug LaMalfa doesn't know what he is talking about? .03% to .04% in 20 years is a huge increase (a 25% increase) in atmospheric CO2.
I'm a Science teacher with 40 yrs experience. The composition of gases in our atmosphere is a standard piece of info taught to 13 yr old school students. Many years ago Carl Sagan stated many times of his concern that, despite all of us are living in societies largely measured and driven by advances in Technology and Science, there is barely a politician in any government anywhere who has a background in Science. Just brood on that conflict for a minute.
You know back when I was a kid, they used to teach us in school. To just plant some trees to offset the CO2 in the atmosphere. Plants and plants some grass... Why do we got to spend all this money to offset CO2?
When I was a kid, they told us repeatedly that the Amazon rain forest was the "lungs of the world", but that it was disappearing at the rate of 50 acres a day. Now the Amazon is gone and the CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing, but the environmentalists all act surprised.
i keep saying this exact same thing. You never hear about deforestation any more, or planting more trees. All you hear about is high-tech solutions that cost huge amounts of money and that cost then being passed on to every-day people. And its only western civilisation thats doing this. It seems a deliberate tactic to destabilise the west. How can we compete with the rest of the world with one hand tied behind our backs? And its our own 'leaders' that are tying our hands.
Because knowing the CO2 level in the atmosphere is NOT directly germane to their task. They are not climatologists and they don't need to be. Nuance is hard.
Because it is a elaborate Scam to achieve a certain globalist NWO outcome. They can shut of a EV's any time they want and that's how they like it . CO2 is a lifeforce and they want to kill it and most of us !
This is a stupid question. Who cares if going from .04% to .07% is what turns earth into Venus? The question suggests that you need to have a massive amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere to destroy the earth, which is not true. The reason it's only .04% is because the atmosphere of the earth is TINY. SUPER THIN. It only looks like we have a lot when your looking up at the sky. Look at our atmosphere from space, and its a sliver of gases around our planet, that we need, and we need the correct amount of gasses, or we all die.
@@kensmith5694 yeah and that's with massive increases to the amount of vehicles, people, farming, aeroplanes and rocket launches etc since then...... Back in 1998 the global population was 5.98 billion, today it's 7.94 billion and in 1951 it was 2.58 billion, the global population has basically tripled within the last 70 years and yet co2 only went up 0.007% It's almost as if more people mean more co2 entering the atmosphere but only by a marginal amount and given time I'm sure the planet will readjust the atmosphere and balance itself back out like it's done numerous times in the past without our help
@@Idlepit2 The planet will adjust. Mankind will have to also. In the adjustment there will no doubt be wars and famine etc as the areas that could grow crops no longer can. The human population may well decrease in the result. Some of it will happen even if we did manage to cut CO2 production but less will.
You hit on a truth. A federal government official’s role is dependent on there being a problem to manage. If climate change isn’t man-made, these clowns know they will be out of a job.
First of all you have to have a problem to have and answer. Secondly it’s not about co2 levels it’s about control. You’re right, no mater what excuses they give, it always about the money.
His question made no sense. Thats why they were taken back. Doug has not even the basic high school understanding of the planets climate system. No concept of a feedback system. An example... you take a pill for high blood pressure that is less than 40 milligrams. That's just a few grains of salt in size. It completely takes over your entire circulatory system. Just 20 more could lower your pressure so much your dead. Doug is just another ignorant politician
They are trained to switch off when facts arise from debate, then it's back into reset mode immediately after questioning stops, the lights are on but there is no one home MO. All one of the pannel need do was google the question for the answers, tech at their fingertips but no answers.
Well considering that politicians are elected by the people and, as this comment sections shows, a lot of people are science illiterate, it is not surprising to see that incompetent people get elected.
@@boguslawszostak1784 comparison doesn’t make sense. CO2 is required for life. Plants cannot survive without it. A car tire survives perfectly without a nail. Instead compare it to something that would make sense. You could compare it to liberal brain cells, because they are very low, just like co2 in the atmosphere.
God is in charge, and the Bible says that He laughs at this world’s “wise”. Their end is coming, but so is this earth’s. Read Matthew ch 24, then Revelation ch 6, 9 and 13. I know who these fanatics serve.
It does not work like that. These guys are leaders in their area of responsibility, they are not climate scientists. They listen to climate scientists and they interpret and action policy. The leader of health care does not know the science of blood, the CEO of a technology company does not know how to program a computer. The speaker should never have asked such a silly questions. It was a stunt, a trick, a power play. Also, the question is not relevant, so what if it's 50% or 0.05%, if it damaging the planet that let's fix it. Dump play from the speaker 🙂
He speaks in a very respectful and persuasive way, but his argument has flaws. First, I don’t expect my politicians to have the composition of the atmosphere memorized. I expect them to listen to scientific community that studies these things. Second, a small percentage can have a big impact. He said himself that a reduction to 0.02% would negatively impact plant life. So why is it surprising that an increase to 0.04% has another negative impact? From 0.03 to 0.04 is a 33% increase! Here’s an example: People make up about 0.01% of all living things by weight, but we are very important and have the ability to make lots of changes to the area around us.
To be fair we had a US Representative say that he opposed sending additional Marines to Guam because he was afraid it would tip over and capsize, and people reelected him, so I’m not too optimistic.
@@Andy-de3li So that video. He was seriously asking of the danger of the island capsizing because of too many people and the army general was trying to hold himself from laughing.
this was brilliant by Lamalfa, never felt like he was attacking anybody just asking simple questions and answering everything from the heart, really blindsided that panel
He wasn't blindsided, because these were the Republicans witnesses. They were friendly witnesses. Here in case you don't believe me: Mr. Marc D.

This was not a "gotcha" moment at all.
Blindsiding the panel with an irrelevant question is the point. it doesn't matter what the accurate number for the % of CO2 is, the world is experiencing the effects regardless of whether or not the panel can answer a stupid question.
@@joeshithragman3264 He asked a basic question pertaining to the topic. If they're going to make an argument for reducing carbon emissions because it's leading to the end of civilization ,that's a relevant question.

It was all band-aid fixes. Now California roads are garbage, money spent elsewhere. Electrical Infrastructure is approaching 60 years behind upgrades. Now we need electric cars? California can not handle the ones we got. Locally a transformer blew up last week. Age? Life-cycle acceleration? Demand? Young voters are voting for this.

The greenhouse effect was demonstrated around 1850. Oil and gas has known of global warming from burning fossil fuels since the 1950's.
The issue started going public in the 1980's.
Coincidentally the tobacco knew about addiction to nicotine and extreme health risks due to smoking in the 1950's but kept it out of the public discourse for decades. I graduated high school 1965. Despite their knowledge of health risks and probably because of the knowledge of addiction cigarette companies where handing out smokes at blue collar work places and marketing the hell out their product.

Why are so many Americans ignorant of the whole picture? People commenting on this video seem, for the most part, to cling to and repeat only the stuff that suits their biases.
One thing I would ask is just how much change to affect production of fossil fuels or change to an economy that is more sustainable have we seen and how much has it cost?
By 1990 the US had spent $10 T on the nuclear portion of the cold war ($20 T in 2020 dollars). None of that benefited the ordinary American.

From chemicals industry to textiles to plastics. Even the chemical that turns your ordinary frying pan to nonstick ones came from that cold war.
Clearly you can't see any of these since your IQ point is the same value as the CO2 in the atmosphere
How embarrassing and disgraceful it is that people who are in charge literally know nothing about the things they are forcing onto the general public, despicable.

Politics as usual
My physics textbook from 1970 states CO2 is 0.04%. Now more than 50 years later the answer still is.....0.04%.
(Edit: Now it is a year later and I have been inundated with replies (several hundreds). Some are polite and some are nasty and arrogant. I worked in a qualitative/quantitative/thermal analysis laboratory for 34 years at a large university. Please do not insist that atmospheric CO2 is never reported as a percent. That is incorrect. I had a state of the art Gas Chromatograph, and reports were always generated as percentages in scientific notation which makes sense because you cannot report "contents" in different units when the normalized total is 100%. Lastly, the original comment was a simple factoid which for some odd reason offends many people. I am 71, and if I said that "55 years ago I saw something unusual or interesting", why would you countermand it? It was a very simple statement that (at the time) I had no reason to disbelieve or believe; my life has not revolved around this textbook. My basic point is: why is everyone quibbling over 40 to 45 ppm of CO2? Please accept that IMO it is not harmful. If you have a different opinion that is fine with me. IMO, stating that CO2 has risen by a third in the last century means nothing to me. Stating it has risen by 45 PPM in the last 60 years is at least objective. Please refrain from posting comments that are not objective. Thank you.

Oil and gas per the biogenic theory of origin comes from marine organisms not land plants. And how productive each region of ocean is for sediments resulting in kerogen once it is free of ice cover may not vary too wildly. As to global warming, there is a factor most ignore and that is the weakening of our planet's magnetic field.
It maybe a much stronger factor than CO2.
It is said by some most of the green house effect comes within the first couple of hundred ppm of CO2 such current increases in CO2 have negligible effects.
Currently, I've not formed a strong opinion except that those who push the CO2 heating theory are a best poorly informed and at worst are pushing a false narrative for profit and even malice. Could the elites be correct? Maybe somewhat but even their solutions may be worse than the problem.

When I was a child ( a long time ago) we were told that in under 50 years we would run out of oil and coal and then given all of the scary things that this would create. We were given lists of animals that would be extinct in 20 years, including tigers and elephants. We were told that sea levels would rise and London would be flooded, we were told we were heading for a new ice age and would all freeze to death, we were told that the ozone layer would be depleted within 100 years and we would all fry to death.
You would think that they would have at least got one nearly right - unfortunatley due to simple entropy there are some animals that will die off, there will be various changes in climate and the natural world but killing off human beings through poverty and famine to try and stop it is clearly not the answer.

Actually we use much less oil and gas back then. Also the ozone was definitely true to some degree.
The woman claims "... we know that transportation causes 49% of CO2..." which is also completely wrong. According to the EPA , "greenhouse gas emissions from transportation account for about 27% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions". It is embarrassing how ignorant those so-called "experts" are.
I’m fairly certain if memory serves correct that 97% of the atmospheric CO2 comes from natural sources

So yes, when you incentivize farmers to grow almonds, for instance, of course they're going to go to greater lengths to grow almonds even if the market forces don't incentivize it; because the government is handing out free money. And almonds are one of those crops that is insanely thirsty.
So yes there are many forces that shape the industry. But federal subsidy is easily the biggest. Look, California is the #1 producer of avocados in America by a long shot, yet we still import most of our avocados from Mexico because they're cheaper. Our market incentives are completely jacked up.

Science lesson:
If carbon dioxide is currently roughly estimated at 400 PPM.
Then it would be .04% of the troposheric content.
CO2 only holds about 40% of the infrared radiation striking the Earth's surface.
Even that eventually makes it out of our atmosphere back into space.
It's like a blanket that self regulates, or like a thermostat that maintains a comfortable surface temperature.
There are a lot of misnomers about the greenhouse effect.
If the greenhouse effect could so easily run away and heat the surface of the Earth to an unlivable Venus like temperature, then it would have occurred many times in the past, and none of us would be here.
Earth has experienced what are referred to as greenhouse periods in geologic history.
The P.E.T.M. 56 million years ago, for example.
But it was the orbital variances and the axial tilt of Earth that were responsible.
Not carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide levels only rise when the co2 molecule is excited by heat.
Heat on the surface is caused by infrared radiation exciting molecules, which is friction, which causes heat.
Another misnomer is that methane is the most potent of all greenhouse gases.
Technically, It is. But methane can not exist for too long in the presence of oxygen because it oxidizes into water and carbon dioxide, Ending it's role in the carbon cycle.
Anthropogenic warming theory leaves out water's role as the most prevalent greenhouse gas.
Al Gore made that statement very early on in this conspiracy theory.
It's in his "fictional movie."
Water vapor is the only reason why any of us are alive today.
Water vapor contains a specific amount of carbon dioxide from winter to summer, from greenhouse period to glacial period.
Water absorbs carbon dioxide when it is cold, and it emits carbon dioxide when it is warm.
It rises and falls with the amount of infrared radiation that is striking the earth's surface.
Take the money out of the climate change conspiracy theory, and nobody will be talking about it anymore.
Nice science lesson...
Very well stated. All life on this planet is definitely under threat, but NOT from the climate!
@@lilyflower4962 The planet is not in danger,....We are.!
remember, we do not know how much CO2 is needed to raise the earths temperature. Mars a smaller planet has the same tonnage of CO2 as the earth, instead of a half a percent of their atmosphere it is 95 percent of it's atmosphere, and Mars is frigid. So CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but we don't know how much it takes to make a difference, all we do know is if it gets below 300 PPM the plants start dying, and we are trying to be net zero, and we are fighting forest fires, the natural CO2 plant savers, we could kill the planet trying to save it.

*Totally stupid question! For example, the proportion of CFCs in the atmosphere is only 0.0000x%. *
Even these minimal quantities (1 CFC molecule per x million others) destroy the ozone layer.
Since 1960, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen by almost 40% and temperatures in Europe by over 1.5 degrees.
That's because it's in the northern hemisphere, the Southern Hemispheres temperatures had dropped even more, so on average the global temperatures have dropped.
It's the Sun that causes climate change not CO2, the sun creates warmer temps, which creates more co2, not the other way around.

If you rephrase "Ban CO2" as "Ban plant food", you see how ridiculous this whole agenda is.
Me and my friends concur!
Just because co2 is necessary, it doesnt mean that more is good. The balance is important. If there were more fractionally more oxygen then fire wouldn't be extinguished and we'd all burn.
So writing off climate change as bogus isnt a good idea either.

With that sentence you just make yourself ridiculous because you show that you dont understand the topic.
Bevore humans started burning fossile coal and gas plants already grew and the co2 concentration in the air was constant. So if we stop buring stuff plants will still grow.

The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Before the industrial revolution, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 288 ppm. We have now reached about 414 ppm, so we are on the way to doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by the end of this century.

I used to live in San Francisco and I'd ask that question to every vapid Climate Alarmist I met. Not once did they know the answer is 0.03-0.04%.
And below .02 plants die.
Exactly right.
the next question after that is now much does man contribute to CO2 levels, hint, it's insignificant.
Research is hard for the fear mongers.
It is now above 0.04% so you expected the wrong answer from them. We are at 429 PPM according to numbers I could find. BTW: In 1998 it was about 330PPM.
Why idiots like those allowed to make rules for the rest of the people? Why the people allowing this to happen?
They are politicians NOT scientists!
Because everyone's too afraid of the alternative
Why the people allowing it , aren’t you part of the people? Why are you allowing it to happen.
They're "experts."

Those are not law makers, they were invited for Doug LaMalfa to make a video for his website and people think its real. Its just a show for TH-cam.
Notice that no names are posted you got punked.
Bureaucrats don't make laws.
In addition to what he taught them, the human contribution to that is 1/100th (which is. 0004%!). This whole thing is MADNESS. People with their hearts in the right place, but whose ignorance on basic aspects of this is so badly exploited. Absolute MADNESS.
It's worse than that even, because the measurement error and internal variability of natural flows is larger than the human contribution.
I have yet to see someone who is pro-conformist on the climate change propaganda know the difference between the stratosphere and troposphere, but they sure know that we need to enact a list of massive changes to our energy production and transportation infrastructure. They are never aware of how extensive the raw materials supply side needs to be, or what countries those come from.

There is a rock on the shore in Plymouth that marks the level of the highest tide and every time the tide is at its highest point it's never covered this rock completely.
The reason I mention it is because it has a date carved on it. The date is 1620... So much for rising sea levels and global warming sinking 20% of the islands of the Pacific!
Global warming is a fallacy created by the Democrat party to Garner power and money
The thing that seems odd to me about the global warming/melting icecaps sthick is if anything the ocean level would stay roughly the same or drop.
Water has the peculiar function of occupying a greater volume when it turns solid. Meaning when said icecaps melt either the lost displacement would cause the water level to drop (because less overall volume occupied) or it would stay about the same because there'd be a greater quantity of liquid H20 in said oceans to offset said volume shift.
@@aguyontheinternet9095 Devils advocate here but what about the ice that is above sea level?
@@aguyontheinternet9095 - Your point is correct for the ice cap at the North Pole because that ice is floating in the water. However, melting ice sitting on land, like Greenland and Antarctica, will produce higher ocean levels (to the extent that the melted ice exceeds new snow fall on top of the ice cap).

Can you explain to me the significance of being able to come up with this number? Can you tell me what percentage of radon in the air is considered hazardous by the EPA?
@stargazer7644 The significance is these people claim to be experts. Yet they do not understand something as basic as that number. As for radon that's more EPA. Out doors normal background. Is roughly .4 pCi/L. Once that gets between 1 and 2 it's a concern. 4 is the EPA action level. How do I know thus? I Looked it up. The same as these so called experts should have.
@@stargazer7644 the significance is children learn that at school. If they were unable to learn something specific for their job from school they aren’t even incompetent, they are just ignorant.
@@Mythhammer These are politicians. They do not claim to be experts. They consult experts, and they make laws. You didn't answer the question I asked. What percent of radon in air is 4 pCi/L? What is the significance of that number? Why is it 4 and not 2, or 400? You're demonstrating my point. The fact that you were able to pull 4 out of the internet doesn't tell you anything about the significance of that number. Even if one of the reps had uttered 400 parts per million, that wouldn't mean they know any more than you do why 4 pCi/L is significant, or have any idea how that relates to a percentage of radon in air.

This is EXACTLY correct, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is pathetically small, plants are right on the edge of suffocation. If we put more CO2 in the atmosphere plant life would explode with vibrancy & then when the trees began to multiply the global temperature would become milder. They do NOT want more life on Earth, they want LESS.
No, increasing CO2 doesn't make plant life do a lot better. Plant life is adapted to a world with about 300PPM of CO2. The CO2 content right now is over 400PPM. There is no huge increase in plant life and some varieties are actually having trouble. We need water to drink but we can also drown.
@@kensmith5694 You should actually look at the evidence instead of just trusting "the narrative" as it will limit your ability to critically think through this stuff. The reality is that there has been MUCH more CO2 in the biosphere in the past & the plant life was much more plentiful as a result. We have been though many surges in the CO2 amount & the plants went through greening surges as a result, but unfortunately so much of the CO2 of the past is now locked away in limestone & fossil fuels. Even just with the amount of extra CO2 we have released into the biosphere since the industrial revolution has measurably increased the greening of the planet, so you are completely incorrect about this. The fact is that the evidence shows our star the Sun is the only significant source of any change in climate on Earth & when the sun increases the temperature on Earth, the amount of CO2 goes up as a result.
@@kensmith5694 Ken with all due respect, you are simply wrong. Increased co2 increases the health and size of plants. This has been shown by simple teenage science fair projects. Also, with more co2 the plants require significantly less water since they develop fewer structures to take in Co2.
I have seen estimates that with a doubling of co2 the Sahara desert would bloom and reduce the severity and frequency of hurricanes impacting North America.
Also, having a bunch of biologists and geologists in the family I have had the benefit of the truth. As a retired businessman, all I can say is if someone comes to me saying in exchange for all my liberty and freedom he will control the weather, I say bulls**t!
@@kensmith5694 Some greenhouse owners use CO2 generators to increase yields.
@@kensmith5694 Yes it does. Green houses for commercial vegetables use CO2 generators machines in order to increase the percentage of CO2 inside the green house to make the crops grow faster and bigger. Go to a green house farmer and you see it by yourself.
There's always been "climate change," it's called Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. C02 is good for plants & animals; plants flourish with more C02, animals eat the plants & flourish, people eat the animals and plants and flourish. Or, we can cut C02 and start dying out. Which do you choose?
Seasons are not climate change. Saying that makes you look just as dumb as these bureaucrats.
Chech out the Younger Dryas period....
The compliant sheep would come back with: No! Climate change is measured in 30 year weather cycles!!!!
and then they would fail in noting what the weather was like 30 years ago, and what the prevailing theory was back then..

What happens if you have some insulation, and you mix in an other kind of insulation? Will it isulate more or less? That depends on whether, the added type is a better or worse insulator (If we don't look into what mixing them might do chemically, as we - I - never have heard anyone talk about that) or just happens to have the same effect. It's not like we go from 100 % atmosefere to more than 100% (not like putting an extra blanket on top of the currect one) so before someone proves, and tells us about, what the numbers are, and what they result in, I'll go with the historical data, that says, Co2 LAGS temperature NOT the other way around..

This was a very composed discussion where the Rep had questions we would want to hear and answers the panelist had no idea of. Very informative.
So what did you learn?
Did you learn WHY non-scientists claim the proportion of atmospheric CO2 is relevant? If so, I must have missed that bit. Perhaps you can direct me to the timestamp where this happened.
@@MrYahboo - What we “learned” from the video, is that government bureaucrats, that spend billions of our tax dollars, and make rules/laws for the peasants to live by, have absolutely no knowledge about the topic at hand. If you can’t see the hoax by now, there is probably no hope for you. The big, bloated, corrupt, inefficient, ineffective, self serving government is not your friend.
@@MrYahboo Well, I didn't know that CO2 represented only .04% of atmospheric gases. No doubt you did; so it's a shame you weren't on the panel. Otherwise, to say we "learned" something is perhaps too strong. It would be more accurate to say that the video provided further evidence that climate change activists have no clue what they're talking about. As for the timestamp, you might want to look at the upper left-hand corner of the video for the date of the hearing.
Informative? How? What did you learn?
Do you honestly expect leglators to know the details of climate science to make decisions on fighting climate change? Or to know anything about road construction to debate infrastructure funding? Or that they are trained in medicine before voting on funding your local hospital.
You are cheering on a show boating politician for raising Red Herrings instead of solving problems.
@@marcusthespotus the problem here is that the number is correct, but the minimal change from 0.028%, which was the pre-industrial level to 0.04% which we have now, does indeed have tremendous consequences for the balance of energy in the atmosphere.
Regardless of this shit show in which one ignorant shames some other ignorants.
The fraction of politicians that are actually highly educated and experienced in what they talk about is seemingly about the same as 0.04%.

Please dont give those kids anyrhing else so rediculous to Aspire to.
They won't listen, the soft mush in their heads are full of Marxism.
It wouldn't work in schools because educated people know that climate change doesn't happen because of giant shifts in atmospheric composition. It happens when we have tiny shifts due to human pollution. Businessmen crying about profits are going to cause massive disaster that actual smart people will have to try and fix.
To show the world why Doug LaMalfa doesn't know what he is talking about? .03% to .04% in 20 years is a huge increase (a 25% increase) in atmospheric CO2.
I'm a Science teacher with 40 yrs experience. The composition of gases in our atmosphere is a standard piece of info taught to 13 yr old school students.

You know back when I was a kid, they used to teach us in school. To just plant some trees to offset the CO2 in the atmosphere. Plants and plants some grass... Why do we got to spend all this money to offset CO2?
Because there's government (OUR) money to be made, and people to control and keep in a perpetual state of fear.
Duh.
When I was a kid, they told us repeatedly that the Amazon rain forest was the "lungs of the world", but that it was disappearing at the rate of 50 acres a day. Now the Amazon is gone and the CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing, but the environmentalists all act surprised.
i keep saying this exact same thing. You never hear about deforestation any more, or planting more trees. All you hear about is high-tech solutions that cost huge amounts of money and that cost then being passed on to every-day people. And its only western civilisation thats doing this.

This is a stupid question. Who cares if going from .04% to .07% is what turns earth into Venus? The question suggests that you need to have a massive amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere to destroy the earth, which is not true. The reason it's only .04% is because the atmosphere of the earth is TINY. SUPER THIN. It only looks like we have a lot when your looking up at the sky. Look at our atmosphere from space, and its a sliver of gases around our planet, that we need, and we need the correct amount of gasses, or we all die.
Just checked and confirmed via World Atlas, it is indeed 0.04% of our environment.

Back in 1998 the global population was 5.98 billion, today it's 7.94 billion and in 1951 it was 2.58 billion, the global population has basically tripled within the last 70 years and yet co2 only went up 0.007%
It's almost as if more people mean more co2 entering the atmosphere but only by a marginal amount and given time I'm sure the planet will readjust the atmosphere and balance itself back out like it's done numerous times in the past without our help
@@Idlepit2 The planet will adjust. Mankind will have to also. In the adjustment there will no doubt be wars and famine etc as the areas that could grow crops no longer can.

“I have no idea what the answer is I’m just here to bilk as much taxpayer money as I possibly can”

The fact that all the members had the % so wrong, just shows the incompetence of people in charge of our future.
Well considering that politicians are elected by the people and, as this comment sections shows, a lot of people are science illiterate, it is not surprising to see that incompetent people get elected.
What percentage of atmospheric gases is CO2 has the same significance as the percentage of your tire's surface that has a hole made by a nail.
@@boguslawszostak1784 comparison doesn’t make sense. CO2 is required for life. Plants cannot survive without it. A car tire survives perfectly without a nail. Instead compare it to something that would make sense. You could compare it to liberal brain cells, because they are very low, just like co2 in the atmosphere.
God is in charge, and the Bible says that He laughs at this world’s “wise”. Their end is coming, but so is this earth’s. Read Matthew ch 24, then Revelation ch 6, 9 and 13. I know who these fanatics serve.
It does not work like that. These guys are leaders in their area of responsibility, they are not climate scientists. They listen to climate scientists and they interpret and action policy. The leader of health care does not know the science of blood, the CEO of a technology company does not know how to program a computer. The speaker should never have asked such a silly questions. It was a stunt, a trick, a power play. Also, the question is not relevant, so what if it's 50% or 0.05%, if it damaging the planet that let's fix it. Dump play from the speaker 🙂
He speaks in a very respectful and persuasive way, but his argument has flaws.
First, I don’t expect my politicians to have the composition of the atmosphere memorized. I expect them to listen to scientific community that studies these things.
Second, a small percentage can have a big impact. He said himself that a reduction to 0.02% would negatively impact plant life. So why is it surprising that an increase to 0.04% has another negative impact?
From 0.03 to 0.04 is a 33% increase!
Here’s an example:
People make up about 0.01% of all living things by weight, but we are very important and have the ability to make lots of changes to the area around us.
