@Anti-fascist America, the alternatives, however are still dangerous either to us, the environment, or both and this is when they're operating correctly. Fossil fuels release pollutants, solar power requires large plots that negatively impact the environment even if they don't have to cut down a lot of trees to open up the land, even wind, although less harmful than most, does have a negative effect on bird populations and is not helpful where there isn't much wind. I would argue that the effects of a nuclear power plant not operating properly is about as dangerous as many other energy sources operating as they should.
@Anti-fascist America There are safety concerns about a lot of energy production...blades can fall off and kill someone under a turbine...NUCLEAR is of more concern because of the potential number of killed.......
Michael Bernard. "... Climate change Contrarians/Skeptics/Deniers often choose to spread Uncertainties/Misinformation/ & Doubt-filled but baseless questions, (It's Cosmic Rays, It's Ocean Currents, or any other infrequently heard of force/entity) , but the causes surrounding Global Warming Caused Climate Changes have been well-known by all science for a very long time now." -----> Over a Century in detail. “The narrative out there that scientists don’t know the cause of climate change is wrong,” The Claim: "That scientists don't know the degree to which Human/Industrial Activity influences Climate"! That is wrong. . Study lead author Benjamin Santer, an atmospheric scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said in a statement. . “We do!” The general mechanism is quite well understood! . We burn carbon-based fossil fuels. This process releases ancient stored carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere), which Resists, Traps & Redirects IR heat (which is attempting to escape to the cold of Space as a cooling effect for earth). There’s absolutely no doubt that the planet’s climate is getting hotter - decades’ worth of satellite & ground data clearly show . (Alexander von Humboldt coined the term and defined ' CLIMATE CHANGE ' in 1799) (Thomas Jefferson & John Adams discussed this changing climate from 1799 to 1804) (Science established human activities were causing these Global Climate Changes in 1811) . There’s Now Overwhelming evidence that points to human activity as the main culprit. While there are natural factors that can cause an equal and even greater impact, human activity is essentially a smoking gun here: the evidence indicates that all of this current global warming is caused by humans. . In this latest study, scientists carried out a statistical analysis of satellite climate data, identifying the anthropogenic fingerprints in climate change. . The analysis showed that humans are causing climate change to a confidence level of 5 sigma, the so-called gold standard of statistics - which translates a 99.9999% certainty. . In other words, there’s only a one-in-a-million chance that the pattern of atmospheric heating is not the result of human activity. . Science doesn’t really ever eliminate uncertainty - it just reduces it, and when the uncertainty reaches very low levels, then that’s essentially a scientific certainty. This isn’t the first study to strongly conclude that humans are causing climate change ==================================================================
This video aged poorly - even the right wing think tanks that get all their funding from oil companies reject this kind of nonsense. This video is directed toward the last holdouts on behalf of stupid.
for many years I thought something about this seemed suspicious, considering the most significant climate changes happened prior to the beginning of human civilization, but I tamped down my thoughts/feelings because I was afraid of looking stupid. Kudos to Judith Curry for seeing through a facade and being willing to risk her career to speak her truth.
Sorry to tell you, but you do in fact look stupid :(. The changes in climate prior to human civilization were caused by Milakovich cycles and past geochemistry. The three Milakovich cycles on in periods of 20k-100k years, we ARE NOT IN PERIODS where the changes in our climate today are from orbital cycles, nor are they from natural geochemical cycles. The changes we see in the climate today are 100% from anthropogenic activities. CLIMATE CHANGE INDUCED BY HUMAN ACTIVITIES IS REAL.
Dr. Judith Curry questions the severity of the rapid rise of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere...but she confirms the current measurements of greenhouse concentration are superior to previous generations of researchers.
There is a huge climate problem but as long as the solution is promoted by the WEF you can be sure it is the wrong one. Eating no meat won't solve anything. But reverting to older-fashioned less industrial ranching might. Electric cars won't solve anything. But having less surface in roads and more in traditional farmland may.

Important climate change story The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable. I forgot to mention that this report was from November 2 , 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 100 years ago.
Since Global Warming was already extensively researched back in 1799, by Alexander von Humboldt ... (who coined Climate Change) ... it comes as no surprise that there would be signs of Arctic Warming ... and surprise....it is still warming.
1859-----Testing the Heat-Trapping Ability of Gases John Tyndall, a British physicist, tested the gases in the atmosphere to find out which are responsible for the greenhouse effect. He found that nitrogen and oxygen, which make up almost all of the atmosphere, cannot trap heat, but that three Very Potent Trace gases present in smaller quantities do: 1. carbon dioxide, 2. ozone, and 3. water vapor. 4. Tyndall speculated that if the amounts of these gases dropped, it would chill the Earth 5. Conversely, if the amounts of these gases increased, it would WARM THE EARTH. 6. And so, modern industry has, since the late 19th century, proven this science...increased GH gases = increased temps
Wooh!!!! You had me going there! Just remember the scientists also told us the “tipping point” of CO2 concentrations was 400 ppm. If we went above that number there is nothing we can do to stop a runaway greenhouse effect. (It’s currently 420 ppm). So, we might as well adapt like every organism on the planet has for millions of years. Or, were they lying to us again🤔🤔🤔
Conspiracy aside- I believe collectively as humans, we can agree on cleaner and more proficiency in our lives. Now I may just be a salesman of propane and propane accessories, but that is what I believe.
Propane and natural gas (methane) are the cleanest fossil fuels as far as I'm aware. Even gasoline cars and trucks are 90% cleaner than they were even 25 years ago. They could be much cleaner if we stopped putting 'ethanol' in gasoline.. especially since that corn could save millions of children from starving in 3rd world countries.

Sea levels are going to rise 20 feet. Obama agrees... until earlier this week when he bought a coastal home for 15 million. Guess the urgency isn't as urgent when he's by the sea shore spending his own money.
Dear Jake...the Home is MANY meters from the Sea Shore and about a dozen meters above sea level.... soooo with Sea Levels destined to rise up to 2 feet (not 20 as you untruthfully claim)...if Obama lives a couple hundred years....the house may be in jeopardy. You comment is purposely distorted.
@@rakooi Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard home is below the 10-foot contour line on topo maps. Distance from the shore doesn’t matter when it’s that low (unless you’re building a levee to protect it). Obama’s new digs in Hawaii are even closer to sea level.
Jake, that opening statement is absolutely RIDICULOUS......perhaps in 2 3 centuries. Sea levels have been projected to be 1 to 2 feet by 2100. Obama has nothing to worry about where he lives.
Though it may be a bit blurry at times, politics and religion are a mirror image of each other. Power, control , pride, and give us your money. Listen to what they say and look at what they do!
I didn't go to college but it seems to me if you cover a good percentage of the earth with asphalt and steel the temperature in that area could be higher than it used to be. I mean put your bare foot on your driveway in the summer and the other in your grass and see which is hotter. There used to be a lot more greenery than it is now. Why not use some heat absorbing materials. Concrete absorbs more heat than asphalt. Just saying. I did graduate from high school.
@Shadow of Satos lol, so because "scientists" claimed something 30 years ago that didnt happen. And I dont remeber who it was that said it because I didnt believe their garbage then, I'm an idiot? Lol. And I didnt say anything about politicians did I? What has gotten your panties into such a bunch ? Cant figure out which bathroom to piss in again today?
@Shadow of Satos Like the *_science_* that allegedly supported *EVERY* ecological disaster prediction over the last few decades? Like the science that shows numerous planets/moons in the solar system have seen *INCREASES* in temperature? Like the science that supported the *_"hockey stick"_* graph? Like the *_"science"_* that NOAA and others were using when they deliberately hid/changed inconvenient data and numbers and the rest of the Climategate nonsense? _That_ science? Look, I'm not advocating for littering or pollution. I think that renewable energy *SHOULD* be researched, if for no other reason than to take power away from theocratic regimes that are hell bent on spreading their dogma and destroying the *_"great satan"._* I think it's beyond lazy to just throw trash outside instead of properly disposing of it but, after 30+ years of hearing *_"by the year X, the Earth will be uninhabitable/suffer mass starvation/covered with water/etc."_* and then *NOTHING* happening...but, the doom sayers just continue to extend their deadlines and no one bats an eye, you start to question their narrative. I mean, it's no coincidence that damn near every politician that spouts off about climate change and/or introduces legislation is set up to receive a big chunk of change because of it. It's also pretty telling that the big names of climate change preachers that pontificate to us plebs about our *_"carbon footprint"_* tour the globe in private jets, go yachting with middle-eastern oil moguls, take *RIDICULOUSLY* unnecessary helicopter rides, use private jets to pick up clothing and one or two people, etc. Believe what you want but, it's not as cut and dry as you seem to think it is.
I'm more concerned with all the micro-plastic that's circulating through our ocean than anything. We're fucking up the ocean with all the waste we leave and that's something that really saddens me.
Here's some actual truth for everyone to swallow... The actual amount of co2 present in the atmosphere is about 0.04% on average (400ppm), to which humans contribute about 10%, the same as it was 70-80 years ago. Ideal co2 concentration for photosynthesis/plant growth is 1000-1200ppm (and it's an exponential increase, as greenhouses are about 1000% more efficient at food production than standard farming). For comparison, we're barely above the threshold for plants to even survive (the planet is no where near as "green" as it used to be), at 100-150ppm, photosynthesis could completely cease (no more oxygen production), everything but bacteria dies... In other words, co2 is so scarce that it has next to no actual greenhouse effect, the primary greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for 4-5% of the atmosphere (40,000-50,000 ppm) And the ironic bit? The so called "experts" would have you believe that the sun (which has been "burning" hotter/generating more heat than usual in the last 3 or 4 decades), has no effect on the climate. Yep, that's right folks... that big bright fusion reactor in the sky that 1,000,000 earth's could fit inside of that provides all our our light and warmth has no effect on the weather... Does the climate change? sure... it's changed long before we were around, and will continue to do so long after we're gone. It's both arrogant and naïve to suggest than humankind has any kind of major impact on it, or that we can somehow change it to suit our whims. This planet has survived far worse than us; adapt or die is the name of the game. According to the "experts", the last Ice Age ended about 25,000 years ago? What ended it? I'm no climatologist, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't cave man coal plants... The real question is, which to you trust more? Politically biased and government funded "experts", or your own two eyes and common sense?
I'm happy for the Tufts University professor for being able to afford the solar panels, batteries, battery management systems, and labor required to take his large home off the grid. Doing so probably cost around $80k-$100k. The overall impact on the environment from his 1 home being taken off the grid will be so infinitesimally small, it would be virtually impossible to even measure. If anything, all he did was raise the demand for the rare earth elements required to build the solar panels and batteries, which is much worse than the impact would have been had he remained on the power grid. He _could_ have spent that $100k on building clean water wells in Africa, buying mosquito nets, providing housing for families, buying medicine for needy people, etc. Things that would have had a real, tangible, positive effect on the world. Instead, he chose to do something that only benefits himself, and pretty much just made himself _feel_ better. For all the grief liberals give conservatives about not following science, it's hard to find another group that bases their decisions and beliefs on feelings more than progressives and environmentalists.
you can go off the grid for a mere $100,000 and the government will pay for half of that. and you'll save $3000 per year in utility bills. (not a good investment). 3 hours in a private jet will use more BTU's than that and you do not see hypocrits in the government curtailing any use of those.

The IPCC when making calculations on climate, to get the results the government wants they can look only at a small window, not the whole picture, and then the calculation come out the way the government wants. They’re simply messing with the maths by only getting part of the equation.
Al Gore doesn't represent actual climate science and used fear mongering as a political tool. A source like Nasa is actually reliable compared to shit politics.

I remember that. I remember sitting in my sixth grade classroom in the mid seventies and being told that the climate was cooling! I also remember that it was a scare like global warming is today. Except the world wasn't as small as it is today. Meaning there wasn't the technology network such as computers and skype and facebook, even cable so it wasn't as "big" as global warming is today.
The "global warming" scare is the latest Rothchild's scam to get money from the whole world. My Cousin is in the CIA, and she says it's a scheme. I live in Canada, and we would WELCOME more warmth in Winter. Summer is so pleasant that we could stand it being "too warm" sometimes. Ha!!
@@alek488 Carbon dioxide is WAY less than 1%! So less that it has almost negligible effect on the global temperature! The ocean determines the global temperature, not the atmosphere!
@@alek488 Indeed - that is kinda my point: I reply very cynically to these. People just like being "alarmists", and make huge issues of things that are on the *bottom* of the priority list. :-)
I saw an old Nova episode many years ago that said we had worse hurricanes 300 years ago...long before the industrial revolution and at a time of global cooling. Scientists at the time attributed the phenomenon with oceanic volcanic activity was warming the sea water. So I googled. Turns out there are between 45 and 55 thousand ocean volcanoes. Scientists have only explored about 4 dozen and determined the ones that were active and inactive. That leaves a whole lot of potential for ocean warming that we know nothing about. BTW, I can no longer find that Nova episode...it seems to have disappeared. Google will soon change the estimated number of ocean volcanoes too. I've seen them do it in other instances. Like when I was in nursing school I looked up how many deaths by flu and the number was 80 thousand.. Now it has been miraculously revised to 28 thousand...see what they do! Nova episodes now beat the manmade climate change drum. We are certainly being misled.
As a scientist, it saddens me to see so many people focused on the wrong questions here. It isn't a question of climate change existing or not existing. That definitely exists, the more pertinent question is how bad is it and what can we do? The answers to those questions are fairly straightforward and not discussed at all in any resemblance of the scientific method. The simple answer is we don't know, and nothing. We simply don't have the data to make accurate long term predictions, and the only thing that might change the status quo, if it is bad, is a complete change in global cultural usage of resources. The first problem will fix itself with time, but the second problem is where the circus begins. Half the solutions people are selling is snake oil, and the other half is wishful thinking based on misinformation. Electric cars are not greener, and wind power is even more destructive than hydroelectric power. Don't even get me started on all these wasteful idiotic recycling programs. I'm all for being ecologically responsible, but let's not kid ourselves huh. Drinking straws for example are not even close to being a serious problem. All the people that get sick from reusing a dirty steel straw are going to needlessly visit a hospital which are epic sources of waste flow. Most of us waste all kinds of resources around us simply because we don't think about it as being a type of waste. If there is a problem, then that is the real problem.
I reckon your wrong. Electric cars are greener. For diesel or petrol to get to your car. First they have to drill for it (which sometimes results in leakages), then they have to contain it ship it in huge shipping containers, refine it, then truck it long distances (a heck of a lot of diesel and pollution used in this stage), before it winds up at the local pump. As opposed to a electric car, which people can charge from home and which costs far less in fuel costs!!! What do you prefer, going to the fuel pump and paying $50.00 each fill up or charging from home for nothing , if you have solar panels as I do???!!! Also don't forget that electric cars have far fewer parts than diesel/petrol cars - no exhaust pipe, radiator, carb etc
@@glory3339 yes, and they're far more difficult to repair when they break. The solar panels require mining heavy metals for doping the silica crystals. The rubber on your tires still comes from petroleum, and if you don't have solar, then the energy for your car likely comes from some kind of petrol or coal. (Natural gas is still a petroleum product). The plastic that forms the bulk of the fiberglass is a toxic resin made from petroleum products. The wire insulation is a petrol derivative. The infrastructure for electric is all maintained by petrol products. The steel furnaces are run from natural gas. The massive amount of energy required to refine the aluminum in the car comes from the electric grid and likely is running of petrol. The dyes in the vinyl seats and dash are petrol products and the vinyl itself. The batteries require lithium which must be mined, and likely uses diesel mining equipment. Or in the event of hydraulic mining uses natural gas to remove the excess water from the lithium sludge. Then there is the metal, and plastic used to make the battery cases. Petrol products. TL;DR the point is that the carbon footprint your car made to be manufactured far exceeds any savings in carbon efficiency that you think you made. A far smaller footprint would be to fix and improve the vehicles we already have. I love everything electric, but most of what you just said is pure propaganda. Also, all those batteries have a 7 year average lifespan before needing replacement. The electronics in the car, heavy metals, also probably will need replacement in about 10 years or less depending on care.
Well I and a lot of people do have solar panels - so straight away you're wrong. The only people who don't have solar panels are people who don't want to save money.

You're so right, my City's recycling program is a total scam. 90% of the recyclable material ends up in the landfill. They justify it by saying China will no longer these items and there is an ever increasing do not recycle list. It's so bad that we have garbage police running around constantly on Segways for 4 months out of the year and and in vehicles the rest of the year because their Segways are in the shop for maintenance.

So staying ignorant is the GOP approach? While alarmists, particularly in the media, have been a problem in exaggerating the degrees and rates of climate change, deniers have recklessly dismissed the actual science and danger, we're in. Pay attention to the actual science, not the alarmists or deniers! This problem is NOT some myth that's going to go away on its own. The last six years have been the hottest on record.

I remember my high school biology textbook saying that the Amazon Rainforest will be completely gone in 20 years. That was 30 years ago. They still make these crackpot predictions to this day. 2064 has now been selected as the new date when the rainforest will be gone.
It's not a 'crackpot prediction', it's just one that was made based on the information at the time. If things had continued as they were it would have been as predicted, but the deforestation rate slowed. The Amazon Rainforest doesn't just magically disappear over time, it's based on our actions.
I am on the fence with this topic On one hand you have the alarmists and on the other you have people saying that everything is fine and there’s nothing to worry about…
It's good to see there is someone in this comment section who is at least "on the fence." The ones saying that there's nothing to worry about have a profit incentive to limit action to combat climate change. Just ask yourself if you were an executive for EXXON or other fossil fuel groups. What leads to more profit for oil companies? Government regulations telling you to stop heating the planet, or the government allowing you to exploit as much as you can to feed your already full wallet.
Well, he did hold the 1st Congressional hearings into the internet...laid down rules for free access to that internet, the freedom which we are using NOW. .....which, by the way, the Trump Administration is carving into oblivion.
There was a scene in Lucas's "Revenge of the Sith" when the republic is being replaced by the empire and one of the characters says, "the time for debate is over" That whole line is enough to show me there is a powermad agenda at play in this issue. When did our country ever have this "debate" that is supposedly over? When did we have someone like Lincoln and Douglas debating a controversial issue before the voters? When did we have this forum where the disagreements among scientists could be openly exposed and discussed? The "debate" never happened. It never began. Anyone saying the "debate is over" has already shown they have no integrity or intelligence.
You climate change deniers really are a laugh. "Where has the debate been?" Well I ask were have YOU been? This debate has been going on for decades as has the science and the number of doubtful scientists has diminished to "3%". What interests me is how perfectly intelligent people, as many of you seem to be, by your spelling and use of the language, manage to get hoodwinked by the oil industry spin. On the one hand you are able to grasp the tenuous lie that it is all a hoax or con yet are unable to see that very wealthy people in the oil industry would be peddling that con. I suggest you watch some of potholer54's TH-cam videos to get an understanding of the science and the debate. If you keep listening to the same news channels you will stay ignorant. As for the ignorant statement of getting rid of the current ice age and encouraging the sea level rise of 200ft, don't you realise that would affect 90% of the worlds population?

mtman- At least Geoffrey Mentink used some points. All you have done is said that he is gullible and wrong. You also missed and/or failed to rebut a fairly strong point he presented, which smells a lot like Cognitive Dissonance. +Geoffrey Mentik; your name sounds like Gee Free men Think? Was that on purpose?
mtman2- The evidence for human activity accelerating Climate Change is overwhelming. Sure, there are the minority who refuse to believe it, clinging onto such foolish arguments as 'The Computer Models aren't perfect' or 'The Climate always changes' etc etc. Even if (against all evidence to the contrary) human accelerated Climate Change is a myth or hoax of some kind, doing nothing about the massive amount of pollution and deforestation will end up killing us regardless. I think moving toward environmentally friendly practices is obviously the best option.The eventual shift toward renewable energy sources and away from non renewables including fossil fuels is inevitable regardless. The only question here, is whether or not humankind will survive long enough to enjoy it.
Our world has been experiencing various levels of climate change since the prehistoric time. There is no difference what is happening to our world now. But I think the our nature is capable of balancing and cleaning our surroundings even if we fail to do it ourselves. So, let's just live our lives to the fullest and within the limits of our existing laws .
The changes in climate prior to human civilization were caused by Milakovich cycles and past geochemistry. The three Milakovich cycles on in periods of 20k-100k years, we ARE NOT IN PERIODS where the changes in our climate today are from orbital cycles, nor are they from natural geochemical cycles. The changes we see in the climate today are 100% from anthropogenic activities. CLIMATE CHANGE INDUCED BY HUMAN ACTIVITIES IS REAL. There is a difference lol. Stay in school kids...
Most people, myself included are willing to support renewable energy when and where it's appropriate and useful, and that's where the alarmists get their "mandate". The problem is, the vast majority of those same people are NOT willing to subsidize choices with taxpayer's money, because that's stupid. You don't NEED taxpayer subsidies if the technology is actually worth using.
If that were the case Ford and GM would have gone bankrupt long ago, along with a lot of big corporations continually getting federal subsidies and bailouts. However I agree with you, government funded renewables have been largely detrimental to any community that harbors it. California is a wonderful example.

Scott Strough, Researcher in carbon farming as a climate change mitigation strategy ** "There is no need to add additional taxes to combat climate change. The best bet is simply quit subsidizing those things causing AGW. ((world wide, Fossil Fuels & connected industries TAKE 6.5% of GDP ..TRILLIONS in subsidies/ supports))) . In most cases the newer more modern energy and agricultural systems are more profitable and less damaging to the environment already. So there is no need to tax people to subsidize those things harming the environment, then taxing us again to penalize those same ones we just subsidized! A house divided against itself cannot stand. -Lincoln (paraphrasing the Bible) It is time for a strong political leader to take charge and end this deadlock. We could either reduce taxes and let the new technologies out compete the obsolete systems we depend on now, or we could keep taxes the same and simply redirect the subsidies we use for fossil fuels and destructive industrialized agriculture towards modern sustainable systems instead. The one thing that won’t work is keep the tax and spend schemes the Neo-Luddites have made for themselves now, and also add even more tax and spend schemes for their competing new technologies too! Yes that’s right, the top two causes for global warming are heavily subsidized.[1][2][3][4] It is literally insanity. in·san·i·ty in'san?de/ noun the state of being seriously mentally ill; extreme foolishness or irrationality. We can reverse AGW though, and save money doing it. Here are three proposals. One made by me and two more similar ones. Here you can see how some might include a carbon market and ways we could do it without a carbon market. They are all workable. The main thing is that they are all stand alone solutions that have beneficial sides effects instead of detrimental side effects to the land and society. We should do them even if AGW wasn’t real. They would still be hugely beneficial all around. There is no negative down side. Win/win for all. Credit: Joel Pett | USA Today 1] Scott Strough's answer to Can we reverse global warming? Executive summary: Yes we can reverse Global Warming. It does not require huge tax increases or overly expensive untested risky technologies. It will require a three pronged approach worldwide. 1] Reduce fossil fuel use by replacing energy needs with as many feasible renewables as current technology allows. . ((solar & wind Cost less & are quicker to construct + + they produce FAR less expensive electricity than coal)) . Change Agricultural methods to high yielding regenerative models of production made possible by recent biological & agricultural science advancements. Large scale ecosystem recovery projects similar to the Loess Plateau project, National Parks like Yellowstone etc. where appropriate and applicable. 2] Project Drawdown The list is comprised primarily of “no regrets” solutions-actions that make sense to take regardless of their climate impact since they have intrinsic benefits to communities and economies. These initiatives improve lives, create jobs, restore the environment, enhance security, generate resilience, and advance human health.[5] 3] Farming a climate change solution Farmers have a golden solution to global warming largely missed by climate change pundits, right beneath their feet. The innovative Australian Soil Carbon Accreditation Scheme is showing how incentive payments can be received by landholders for measurable increases in soil carbon that soaks up CO2 from the atmosphere. Financial incentives could help fund soil restoration efforts, which in turn bring the bonus of greater productivity, drought resilience and even rain.

@@yrreteugarps2835 This is NOT reporting...this is advocacy. 1824----Describing Earth's Atmosphere as a Greenhouse Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier, a mathematician working for Napoleon, was the first to describe how Earth's atmosphere retains warmth on what would otherwise be a very cold planet.. To help explain the concept, he compared the atmosphere to the glass walls of a greenhouse.----Learn more: The Discovery of the Greenhouse Effect. 1856----Discovering Gases That Trap Heat An American scientist, Eunice Foote discovered that carbon dioxide and water vapor cause air to warm in sunlight. In 1856, she presented her findings at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting...detailing her experiments that determine the effects of the sun’s rays on different gases,” noted an 1856 article in Scientific American. 1859----Testing the Heat-Trapping Ability of Gases John Tyndall, a British physicist tested the gases in the atmosphere to find out which are responsible for the greenhouse effect. He found that nitrogen and oxygen, which make up almost all of the atmosphere, cannot trap heat, but that three Very Potent Trace gases present in smaller quantities do: 1. carbon dioxide, 2. ozone, and 3. water vapor. 4. Tyndall speculated that if the amounts of these gases dropped, it would chill the Earth. 5. Conversely, if the amounts of these gases increased, it WOULD WARM THE EARTH. 6. And so human industry has proven his postulation TRUE. ...these gases have been dramatically increased and hand-in-hand, world temperatures have increased dramatically... 7. And these rising temperatures are directly counter to Earth's Most Powerful Natural Cycles! 8. Greenhouse gases now dominate our climate. 1896 Connecting Coal, Carbon Dioxide, and Climate Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius recognized that burning coal could increase carbon dioxide and warm the climate. He estimated how much carbon dioxide the ocean could absorb. In an 1896 lecture, Arrhenius noted that it was not yet possible to calculate how fast temperature was rising.
The problem with 'common sense' is that it is often based on casual observation. For many centuries, the sun was 'observed' to be traveling around the earth. Galileo started taking some measurements and eventually came to the right conclusion. Naturally, he was branded a heretic because his discovery didn't agree with 'common sense,' or the interests of the church at that time. Just like this guy who says you can tell if the global climate is changing by looking out the window.
It's all about the money 💰 and nothing else. Western Governments are all in on it. Russia, China and other Leaders in the East know its a lie and won't play their game.
It’s it funny that they say that the last time carbon was this high was when the world was a tropical place. And in a time when people were not adding to it. Mankind can and will adapt to the cycles of the planet. Something that could help is using building materials that last longer and don’t absorb lots of heat, and ban all the junk things that are made to only last a few years then get thrown away. We have the technology to make cars that last a lifetime with only basic maintenance and repairs, but we don’t because it is not profitable. If designed obsolescence was banned we could probably reduce consumption by at least half. Instead now we are getting electric cars forced down our throats that will be scrapped in 8-10 years for no other reason other than that they will stop making batteries and parts. They are so expensive that as soon as you finish making payments on it you will need a new car, keeping you enslaved to the car companies and banks for life. Good luck to my generation who wants to retire in the next 20 years, much less my kid’s generation. I do like how he mentioned that government subsidies paid for his house- calling it free money. Nope no such thing. It is someone else’s money, probably someone who can’t afford such niceties. It isn’t government money, it’s taxpayer’s money. Money that makes it harder for the rest of us to buy groceries because it went to building his house cheaper for him to run. Even funnier is I saw a video recently of a scientist trying to explain the unusual cold snap is the result of global warming. It was -47c due to global warming. When I was a kid they said the hole in the ozone will kill us all. And acid rain. And they said in the ‘70s that we would be in an I’ve age by the year 2000. Seems to me we avoided those catastrophic events, so we should be happy. But happy people don’t bend over and give all their money away. Scared people do. Wonder what the next world destroying man made disaster will be next.
This entire conversation is baseless!!! Decades ago it was shown with laboratory FTIR spectrometer experiments that CO2 has a finite limit on the amount of 15um infrared heat it can absorb from the earth (H. Hug). Its absorption is "saturated" at less than 300ppm CO2 just within several meters from the earth's surface, according to well known Beers-Lambert's Law. Widening the absorption bandwidth, as IPCC attempts, contributes negligibly (

In a leaked 2006 memo of the Intermountain Rural Electric Association (IREA), Michaels is listed as a recipient of at least $100,000 from IREA to combat global warming “alarmists.” The IREA memo outlines a coordinated strategy by Koch Industries, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Michaels, and other key groups. “We have met with Koch, CEI and Dr. Michaels, and they meet among themselves periodically to discuss their activities,” NERA‘s General Manager Stan Lewandowski wrote.
Sure, why wouldn't a TV libertarian know more than 97% of scientists.

Ok. So... 1. Is Carbon a greenhouse gas, a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range? Yes. 2. Have humans increased carbon gas emissions? Yes. 3. Does this increased carbon atmosphere insulate more heat? Yes. 4. Does our more insulated atmosphere affect the climate? Yes. 4.a- For one thing, it means that ocean waters evaporate at an increased rate without an increased rate of condensation. This causes the ocean to become more acidic as it becomes more salty. I think we know that isn't exactly good for the wildlife.
evilbanana _ so tell me 1:what percentage of climate change is caused by humans?2:how did you arrive at that number ?3: what is your solution? 4: how did you arrive at that solution?,. The fact that nobody can answer any of these questions is proof that the human caused climate change ideology is not based on science or reality but purely political and emotionally driven like most leftist movements.
Ok So.. 1. Then how is extreme cold also linked to carbon caused climate change. Cold fronts shouldn't be able to form in the first place. 2. Plants "breathe" in carbon, just plant more and stop killing weeds. 3. If this was that simple then we shouldn't technically have any winter weather or it would be hot at night everywhere because of too much trapped heat. Also heat rises and do you know the temperature at 30,000 feet? 4. How much of the climate is affected, you don't know. Droughts and storms would happen with or without climate change. 4a. How do you explain record rainfall now then this year? You know it does rain over the ocean too and storm drains in California head back to the ocean. If the ocean is two salty then we need more fresh water to melt don't we.

@@williamaftonpizzeria One of the problems with climate change is that it is a large, complicated issue, yet the debate tends to center around celebrities and politicians making arguments like these that 'feel' right. The number of people killed by heat and cold has to do more with access to shelter and heating/AC, and isn't evidence that a warmer earth will be safer by reducing deaths due to cold weather. The largest risks of climate change are sea level rise, species extinction, destabilization of global weather, and loss of cropland. If you really want to learn more about climate science, I HIGHLY encourage you to look outside of politics, and seek out real academic research not motivated by a political agenda. If you can't trust the experts, there is no point.
@@alfstewart2592 Correlation does not equal causation. If you want to present actual proof then you need to show causation. I could say that pirates cause global warming because fewer pirates = higher temperatures. It doesn't prove anything.
@@alfstewart2592 I get what you're saying, but that's apples and oranges. If you're trying to prove climate change doesn't exist, you can't cite better living standards as an example.

That's a fair argument, but saying climate change isn't real because we don't live like they did 500 years ago makes 0 sense. It would be like me trying to say the earth has been shrinking in size by 5% every year, just look at how cramped cities have become!

What a waste of time watching someone from the CATO institution talk about climate change. Stossel is a silly libertarian goose that believes we should still be using DDT! Who in their right mind can trust this man’s judgment?
Okay so to sum up: climate change is slow, and Stossel and his guests are not sure if the rise in temperatures will be harmful. Here's the other side - the global temperature rise in the last 100 years has not happened at this speed for 5000 years. We covered a 4 degree rise in the last 5000 years (0.08 degrees per century). In the last 100 years we saw a rise of 0.7 degrees. TLDR - the process is speeding up. Now, this may seem like a small amount, but bear in mind - this is global average temperature (including temperatures from the extreme places like the Arctic / Egypt). Even a degree increase means a much higher temperature in hotter regions. Okay that's fine - but is it harmful? Stossel and his guests are right, it's not easy to say. This is a change which usually happens over thousands of years, and it's hard to understand exactly what will go wrong. However, the answer does not seem to be "nothing". Lets keep in mind that human beings were born and evolved over the last 300,000 years, following a slow rise in temperatures. We've never really seen a major temperature variance over such a short duration. Another thing scientists agree on is that life on earth helps maintain the temperature. Before life existed, the climate of our planet was weird - everything was either lava or it rained for a million years. In a way, all the plants and trees have helped create a temperature necessary for survival. And we have suddenly destroyed all of it. 90 percent of wildlife areas have vanished over the last few hundred years, with entire species getting wiped out overnight. This is obviously why we are seeing an accelerated temperature rise. Let's be very clear about one thing - if we destroy all the other species on our planet, we will definitely go extinct. So keeping the above history and context in mind, we can agree on one thing - this is definitely a real problem that needs to be headed off at the pass. Not being able to understand the change is not a good enough excuse to ignore it. I agree with Stossel and his guests that maybe we can be a little less thuggish about how we discuss this topic, but the simple fact is that if the balance of life is disturbed, life for human beings will get worse. TLDR: Climate change is real. We may not know how it impacts us, but we do know that it impacts us.
I say "just go nuclear" and both sides attack me
I know. We've refined Nuclear reactors so that core meltdowns are highly unlikely, and little to no carbon admissions.
@American hunter 255 That's why I said highly unlikely to happen.
@Anti-fascist America, the alternatives, however are still dangerous either to us, the environment, or both and this is when they're operating correctly. Fossil fuels release pollutants, solar power requires large plots that negatively impact the environment even if they don't have to cut down a lot of trees to open up the land, even wind, although less harmful than most, does have a negative effect on bird populations and is not helpful where there isn't much wind. I would argue that the effects of a nuclear power plant not operating properly is about as dangerous as many other energy sources operating as they should.

“The narrative out there that scientists don’t know the cause of climate change is wrong,”
The Claim:
"That scientists don't know the degree to which Human/Industrial Activity influences Climate"! That is wrong.
.
Study lead author Benjamin Santer, an atmospheric scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said in a statement.
.
“We do!”
The general mechanism is quite well understood!
.
We burn carbon-based fossil fuels. This process releases ancient stored carbon dioxide
(and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere),
which Resists, Traps & Redirects IR heat (which is attempting to escape to the cold of Space as a cooling effect for earth).
There’s absolutely no doubt that the planet’s climate is getting hotter
- decades’ worth of satellite & ground data clearly show
.
(Alexander von Humboldt coined the term and defined ' CLIMATE CHANGE ' in 1799)
(Thomas Jefferson & John Adams discussed this changing climate from 1799 to 1804)
(Science established human activities were causing these Global Climate Changes in 1811)
.
There’s Now Overwhelming evidence that points to human activity as the main culprit.
While there are natural factors that can cause an equal and even greater impact, human activity is essentially a smoking gun here:
the evidence indicates that all of this current global warming is caused by humans.
.
In this latest study,
scientists carried out a statistical analysis of satellite climate data, identifying the anthropogenic fingerprints in climate change.
.
The analysis showed that humans are causing climate change to a confidence level of 5 sigma,
the so-called gold standard of statistics
- which translates a 99.9999% certainty.
.
In other words,
there’s only a one-in-a-million chance that the pattern of atmospheric heating is not the result of human activity.
.
Science doesn’t really ever eliminate uncertainty - it just reduces it, and when the uncertainty reaches very low levels, then that’s essentially a scientific certainty.
This isn’t the first study to strongly conclude that humans are causing climate change

The three Milakovich cycles on in periods of 20k-100k years, we ARE NOT IN PERIODS where the changes in our climate today are from orbital cycles, nor are they from natural geochemical cycles.

Important climate change story
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable. I forgot to mention that this report was from November 2 , 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 100 years ago.
Since Global Warming was already extensively researched back in 1799, by Alexander von Humboldt ... (who coined Climate Change) ... it comes as no surprise that there would be signs of Arctic Warming ... and surprise....it is still warming.

4. Tyndall speculated that if the amounts of these gases dropped, it would chill the Earth
5. Conversely, if the amounts of these gases increased, it would WARM THE EARTH.
6. And so, modern industry has, since the late 19th century, proven this science...increased GH gases = increased temps
Wooh!!!! You had me going there! Just remember the scientists also told us the “tipping point” of CO2 concentrations was 400 ppm. If we went above that number there is nothing we can do to stop a runaway greenhouse effect. (It’s currently 420 ppm). So, we might as well adapt like every organism on the planet has for millions of years. Or, were they lying to us again🤔🤔🤔
Long before CO2 levels were considered the culprit.

The actual amount of co2 present in the atmosphere is about 0.04% on average (400ppm), to which humans contribute about 10%, the same as it was 70-80 years ago. Ideal co2 concentration for photosynthesis/plant growth is 1000-1200ppm (and it's an exponential increase, as greenhouses are about 1000% more efficient at food production than standard farming). For comparison, we're barely above the threshold for plants to even survive (the planet is no where near as "green" as it used to be), at 100-150ppm, photosynthesis could completely cease (no more oxygen production), everything but bacteria dies...
In other words, co2 is so scarce that it has next to no actual greenhouse effect, the primary greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for 4-5% of the atmosphere (40,000-50,000 ppm)
And the ironic bit? The so called "experts" would have you believe that the sun (which has been "burning" hotter/generating more heat than usual in the last 3 or 4 decades), has no effect on the climate. Yep, that's right folks... that big bright fusion reactor in the sky that 1,000,000 earth's could fit inside of that provides all our our light and warmth has no effect on the weather...
Does the climate change? sure... it's changed long before we were around, and will continue to do so long after we're gone. It's both arrogant and naïve to suggest than humankind has any kind of major impact on it, or that we can somehow change it to suit our whims. This planet has survived far worse than us; adapt or die is the name of the game.
According to the "experts", the last Ice Age ended about 25,000 years ago? What ended it? I'm no climatologist, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't cave man coal plants...
The real question is, which to you trust more? Politically biased and government funded "experts", or your own two eyes and common sense?
Geo engineering, chemtrails, HAARP, weather modification is what is really going on.
I'm happy for the Tufts University professor for being able to afford the solar panels, batteries, battery management systems, and labor required to take his large home off the grid. Doing so probably cost around $80k-$100k. The overall impact on the environment from his 1 home being taken off the grid will be so infinitesimally small, it would be virtually impossible to even measure. If anything, all he did was raise the demand for the rare earth elements required to build the solar panels and batteries, which is much worse than the impact would have been had he remained on the power grid.
He _could_ have spent that $100k on building clean water wells in Africa, buying mosquito nets, providing housing for families, buying medicine for needy people, etc. Things that would have had a real, tangible, positive effect on the world. Instead, he chose to do something that only benefits himself, and pretty much just made himself _feel_ better.
For all the grief liberals give conservatives about not following science, it's hard to find another group that bases their decisions and beliefs on feelings more than progressives and environmentalists.
you can go off the grid for a mere $100,000 and the government will pay for half of that. and you'll save $3000 per year in utility bills. (not a good investment). 3 hours in a private jet will use more BTU's than that and you do not see hypocrits in the government curtailing any use of those.

I remember when it was acid rain, hole in the ozone layer, another ice age was on its way...and politicians and celebrities keep telling us we need to ride bicycles and live in huts. While they live in 30000 square foot houses on the beach, drive exotic cars, fly around on private jets...
Look into Geo Engineering and the previous use of Chlorine sprayed into the skies which is said to have destroyed the ozone.
Laws were passed to address Man Made Acid Rain!
and
Other Laws were passed to address Human Industry Produced Ozone Depletion!

Good that you remembered acid rains and ozon layer problem and that we took actions and fixed that
Upcoming ice ages wasn’t really a scientific thing
Ozone depleting substances got phased out from policy changes. Goes to show that environmental activism worked towards solving an issue in the past
The IPCC when making calculations on climate, to get the results the government wants they can look only at a small window, not the whole picture, and then the calculation come out the way the government wants. They’re simply messing with the maths by only getting part of the equation.
I do not care if you get 100% of these people to agree ..I do not believe one single word these people say.

40.years in school we were told we would freeze to death.
I remember that. I remember sitting in my sixth grade classroom in the mid seventies and being told that the climate was cooling! I also remember that it was a scare like global warming is today. Except the world wasn't as small as it is today. Meaning there wasn't the technology network such as computers and skype and facebook, even cable so it wasn't as "big" as global warming is today.
The "global warming" scare is the latest Rothchild's scam to get money from the whole world. My Cousin is in the CIA, and she says it's a scheme. I live in Canada, and we would WELCOME more warmth in Winter. Summer is so pleasant that we could stand it being "too warm" sometimes. Ha!!

I saw an old Nova episode many years ago that said we had worse hurricanes 300 years ago...long before the industrial revolution and at a time of global cooling. Scientists at the time attributed the phenomenon with oceanic volcanic activity was warming the sea water. So I googled. Turns out there are between 45 and 55 thousand ocean volcanoes. Scientists have only explored about 4 dozen and determined the ones that were active and inactive. That leaves a whole lot of potential for ocean warming that we know nothing about. BTW, I can no longer find that Nova episode...it seems to have disappeared. Google will soon change the estimated number of ocean volcanoes too. I've seen them do it in other instances. Like when I was in nursing school I looked up how many deaths by flu and the number was 80 thousand..
Now it has been miraculously revised to 28 thousand...see what they do! Nova episodes now beat the manmade climate change drum. We are certainly being misled.
If politicians could make you pay for air they would. Oh they are.
Oh look it's Aloysius O'Haaaaaaaare
As a scientist, it saddens me to see so many people focused on the wrong questions here. It isn't a question of climate change existing or not existing. That definitely exists, the more pertinent question is how bad is it and what can we do? The answers to those questions are fairly straightforward and not discussed at all in any resemblance of the scientific method. The simple answer is we don't know, and nothing. We simply don't have the data to make accurate long term predictions, and the only thing that might change the status quo, if it is bad, is a complete change in global cultural usage of resources. The first problem will fix itself with time, but the second problem is where the circus begins. Half the solutions people are selling is snake oil, and the other half is wishful thinking based on misinformation. Electric cars are not greener, and wind power is even more destructive than hydroelectric power. Don't even get me started on all these wasteful idiotic recycling programs. I'm all for being ecologically responsible, but let's not kid ourselves huh. Drinking straws for example are not even close to being a serious problem. All the people that get sick from reusing a dirty steel straw are going to needlessly visit a hospital which are epic sources of waste flow. Most of us waste all kinds of resources around us simply because we don't think about it as being a type of waste. If there is a problem, then that is the real problem.
I reckon your wrong. Electric cars are greener. For diesel or petrol to get to your car. First they have to drill for it (which sometimes results in leakages), then they have to contain it ship it in huge shipping containers, refine it, then truck it long distances (a heck of a lot of diesel and pollution used in this stage), before it winds up at the local pump.
As opposed to a electric car, which people can charge from home and which costs far less in fuel costs!!! What do you prefer, going to the fuel pump and paying $50.00 each fill up or charging from home for nothing , if you have solar panels as I do???!!! Also don't forget that electric cars have far fewer parts than diesel/petrol cars - no exhaust pipe, radiator, carb etc
@@glory3339 yes, and they're far more difficult to repair when they break. The solar panels require mining heavy metals for doping the silica crystals. The rubber on your tires still comes from petroleum, and if you don't have solar, then the energy for your car likely comes from some kind of petrol or coal. (Natural gas is still a petroleum product). The plastic that forms the bulk of the fiberglass is a toxic resin made from petroleum products. The wire insulation is a petrol derivative. The infrastructure for electric is all maintained by petrol products. The steel furnaces are run from natural gas. The massive amount of energy required to refine the aluminum in the car comes from the electric grid and likely is running of petrol. The dyes in the vinyl seats and dash are petrol products and the vinyl itself. The batteries require lithium which must be mined, and likely uses diesel mining equipment. Or in the event of hydraulic mining uses natural gas to remove the excess water from the lithium sludge. Then there is the metal, and plastic used to make the battery cases. Petrol products. TL;DR the point is that the carbon footprint your car made to be manufactured far exceeds any savings in carbon efficiency that you think you made. A far smaller footprint would be to fix and improve the vehicles we already have. I love everything electric, but most of what you just said is pure propaganda. Also, all those batteries have a 7 year average lifespan before needing replacement. The electronics in the car, heavy metals, also probably will need replacement in about 10 years or less depending on care.
Well I and a lot of people do have solar panels - so straight away you're wrong. The only people who don't have solar panels are people who don't want to save money. And back then people like you would moan and groan about solar panels and how it's a leftist conspiracy by al gore and it wouldn't work.
Like how people like you complain about wind turbines - so why is it that Portugal's power comes mainly from renewables like floating wind turbines:
th-cam.com/video/xKYClcExkMY/w-d-xo.html

I don't have a video of that one, maybe you could do some research
You're so right, my City's recycling program is a total scam. 90% of the recyclable material ends up in the landfill. They justify it by saying China will no longer these items and there is an ever increasing do not recycle list. It's so bad that we have garbage police running around constantly on Segways for 4 months out of the year and and in vehicles the rest of the year because their Segways are in the shop for maintenance. When it all comes down to it it's nothing more than propaganda and ideology.

The issue us that sea level rise rare hasht changed at all. The majority of the fast sea level rise in the Holocene happened thousands of years ago when the UK was a peninsula, not an island
yes, when it was colder some of the worlds water got stuck in areas that were quite cold, that snow didnt have an opportunity to melt and so it accumulated, eventually creating glaciers, over many thousands of years there was enough trapped water in glaciers that sea level was much lower.

When did we have someone like Lincoln and Douglas debating a controversial issue before the voters? When did we have this forum where the disagreements among scientists could be openly exposed and discussed?

mtman2- The evidence for human activity accelerating Climate Change is overwhelming. Sure, there are the minority who refuse to believe it, clinging onto such foolish arguments as 'The Computer Models aren't perfect' or 'The Climate always changes' etc etc. Even if (against all evidence to the contrary) human accelerated Climate Change is a myth or hoax of some kind, doing nothing about the massive amount of pollution and deforestation will end up killing us regardless. I think moving toward environmentally friendly practices is obviously the best option.The eventual shift toward renewable energy sources and away from non renewables including fossil fuels is inevitable regardless. The only question here, is whether or not humankind will survive long enough to enjoy it.
Our world has been experiencing various levels of climate change since the prehistoric time. There is no difference what is happening to our world now. But I think the our nature is capable of balancing and cleaning our surroundings even if we fail to do it ourselves. So, let's just live our lives to the fullest and within the limits of our existing laws .
The changes in climate prior to human civilization were caused by Milakovich cycles and past geochemistry. The three Milakovich cycles on in periods of 20k-100k years, we ARE NOT IN PERIODS where the changes in our climate today are from orbital cycles, nor are they from natural geochemical cycles. The changes we see in the climate today are 100% from anthropogenic activities. CLIMATE CHANGE INDUCED BY HUMAN ACTIVITIES IS REAL. There is a difference lol. Stay in school kids...

We could either reduce taxes and let the new technologies out compete the obsolete systems we depend on now, or we could keep taxes the same and simply redirect the subsidies we use for fossil fuels and destructive industrialized agriculture towards modern sustainable systems instead. The one thing that won’t work is keep the tax and spend schemes the Neo-Luddites have made for themselves now, and also add even more tax and spend schemes for their competing new technologies too! Yes that’s right, the top two causes for global warming are heavily subsidized.[1][2][3][4] It is literally insanity.

We can reverse AGW though, and save money doing it. Here are three proposals. One made by me and two more similar ones. Here you can see how some might include a carbon market and ways we could do it without a carbon market. They are all workable. The main thing is that they are all stand alone solutions that have beneficial sides effects instead of detrimental side effects to the land and society. We should do them even if AGW wasn’t real. They would still be hugely beneficial all around. There is no negative down side. Win/win for all.

1] Scott Strough's answer to Can we reverse global warming?
Executive summary:
Yes we can reverse Global Warming.
It does not require huge tax increases or overly expensive untested risky technologies.
It will require a three pronged approach worldwide.
1]
Reduce fossil fuel use by replacing energy needs with as many feasible renewables as current technology allows.
.
((solar & wind Cost less & are quicker to construct + + they produce FAR less expensive electricity than coal))
.
Change Agricultural methods to high yielding regenerative models of production made possible by recent biological & agricultural science advancements.
Large scale ecosystem recovery projects similar to the Loess Plateau project, National Parks like Yellowstone etc. where appropriate and applicable.
2]
Project Drawdown
The list is comprised primarily of “no regrets” solutions-actions that make sense to take regardless of their climate impact since they have intrinsic benefits to communities and economies. These initiatives improve lives, create jobs, restore the environment, enhance security, generate resilience, and advance human health.[5]
3]
Farming a climate change solution
Farmers have a golden solution to global warming largely missed by climate change pundits, right beneath their feet. The innovative Australian Soil Carbon Accreditation Scheme is showing how incentive payments can be received by landholders for measurable increases in soil carbon that soaks up CO2 from the atmosphere. Financial incentives could help fund soil restoration efforts, which in turn bring the bonus of greater productivity, drought resilience and even rain. The action is deep underground.[6]

Emissions Are the Highest in History
The IPCC 5th Assessment Report noted that our influence on climate is clear and "recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history."
The report's findings led to the Paris Climate Accord, in which nearly all of the world's countries (174 countries in total) committed to actions limiting warming to below 2° Celsius (3.6° Fahrenheit) in an effort to avoid the most catastrophic impacts. (The United States announced in 2017 that it would back out of the agreement.)

Dumping Toxic Waste:-----------EACH of the nation’s CLEANEST Killer Coal ELECTRIC GENERATION plants produce 140 million tons of HIGHLY TOXIC COAL ASH WASTE / Year, the toxic by-product that is left over after the coal is burned and Smoke is Scrubbed.
.
THE CLEANEST COAL PLANT still produces BILLIONS of GALLONS of TOXIC Coal AAsh/year
.
All that ash has to go somewhere, so it’s dumped in the backyards of power plants across the nation -into earth lined open-air ponds/pits & precarious surface-waste pools.
.
Many/most of these sites lack any adequate safeguards, leaving nearby communities at risk from potential large-scale disasters like the massive coal ash spill in Tennessee in 2008
&
from gradual yet equally dangerous contamination as coal ash toxins seep into
drinking water Aquifers
or
are blown into nearby communities.
.
Coal ash pollution contains high levels of toxic heavy metals such as
arsenic,

and other cancer-causing agents.
.
The public health hazards & environmental threats to nearby communities from unsafe coal ash dumping have been known for many DECADES, including increased risk of cancer, learning disabilities, neurological disorders, birth defects, reproductive failure, asthma (1 million new cases/yr.), and other illnesses.
.
Coal ash is not subject to federal supervision, and state laws governing coal combustion waste disposal are weak or nonexistent.
.
The result: ---------TENS Millions of tons of TOXIC coal ash PRODUCED BY EACH COAL ELECTRIC PLANT are being stored in ponds,
landfills, and abandoned mines...in 47 states.
.
Many of these sites lack any/adequate safeguards, leaving nearby communities at risk from potential large scale disasters like the December 22, 2008.
.

flooding the surrounding residential area with more than one billion gallons of toxic coal ash-enough to flood more than 3,000 acres one foot deep.

While dramatic events like the coal ash spills in Tennessee garner national media attention, dangerous contaminants are

The Hazards of Coal Ash FROM Electric Generation.
Living near a wet coal ash storage pond is significantly more dangerous
than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, according to a risk assessment done by the EPA.
The toxins found in coal ash have been linked to organ disease, cancer,
respiratory illness, neurological damage, and developmental problems.
.
People living within one mile of unlined coal ash ponds can have a 1 in 50 risk of cancer
-more than 2,000 times higher than what the EPA considers acceptable.
.
Coal ash contains arsenic, lead, mercury, and selenium, as well as aluminum, barium, boron, and chlorine.
All can be toxic.
Particularly where there is prolonged exposure,
these toxins can
cause cancer,
heart damage,
lung disease,
respiratory distress,
kidney disease,
reproductive problems,
gastrointestinal illness,
birth defects,
impaired bone growth in children, and behavioral problems.
.
In short, coal ash toxics have the potential to injure
all of the major organ systems in adults (including pregnant women) and children.
Exposure to toxic coal ash can lower birth rates, cause tissue disease, slow development,
and
even kill plants and animals, leading to changes in wildlife concentrations
and disruptions to entire ecosystems.
.
The toxic pollution from coal ash builds up in exposed animals and plants, causing the pollution to make its way up the food chain when they are eaten.
.
Children are more susceptible to the health impacts of coal ash
-and according to the EPA,
1.54 million children live near coal ash storage sites.
.
Not only is coal ash toxic, it is also likely to grow increasingly dangerous.
.
Air pollution control technologies, like SCRUBBERS, selective catalytic reduction,
and activated carbon injection, capture mercury and other hazardous air pollutants
and are able to stop increasing amounts of toxic pollution from going up the smokestacks.
.
However, when those pollutants are captured they are shifted from the air to the TOXIC coal ash.
.
Mercury and other TOXIC pollutants that previously contributed to air pollution are now becoming solid wastes -they leach into water, their toxicity is
carried into the water as well. ..."

1824----Describing Earth's Atmosphere as a Greenhouse
Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier, a mathematician working for Napoleon, was the first to describe how Earth's atmosphere retains warmth on what would otherwise be a very cold planet.. To help explain the concept, he compared the atmosphere to the glass walls of a greenhouse.----Learn more: The Discovery of the Greenhouse Effect.
1856----Discovering Gases That Trap Heat
An American scientist, Eunice Foote discovered that carbon dioxide and water vapor cause air to warm in sunlight. In 1856, she presented her findings at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting...detailing her experiments that determine the effects of the sun’s rays on different gases,” noted an 1856 article in Scientific American.
1859----Testing the Heat-Trapping Ability of Gases
John Tyndall,
a British physicist tested the gases in the atmosphere to find out which are responsible for the greenhouse effect. He found that nitrogen and oxygen, which make up almost all of the atmosphere, cannot trap heat,
but that three Very Potent Trace gases present in smaller quantities do:
1.
carbon dioxide,
2.
ozone, and
3.
water vapor.
4. Tyndall speculated that if the amounts of these gases dropped, it would chill the Earth.
5. Conversely, if the amounts of these gases increased, it WOULD WARM THE EARTH.
6. And so human industry has proven his postulation TRUE.
...these gases have been dramatically increased
and hand-in-hand, world temperatures have increased dramatically...
7. And these rising temperatures are directly counter to Earth's Most Powerful Natural Cycles!
8. Greenhouse gases now dominate our climate.
1896
Connecting Coal, Carbon Dioxide, and Climate
Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius recognized that burning coal could increase carbon dioxide and warm the climate. He estimated how much carbon dioxide the ocean could absorb. In an 1896 lecture, Arrhenius noted that it was not yet possible to calculate how fast temperature was rising.
Politicians are such scientific experts. LOL
Common sense is music to my ears! So refreshing
The problem with 'common sense' is that it is often based on casual observation. For many centuries, the sun was 'observed' to be traveling around the earth. Galileo started taking some measurements and eventually came to the right conclusion. Naturally, he was branded a heretic because his discovery didn't agree with 'common sense,' or the interests of the church at that time. Just like this guy who says you can tell if the global climate is changing by looking out the window.
We never had that ice age that was coming back when Gore was blabbering either.
It's all about the money 💰 and nothing else. Western Governments are all in on it. Russia, China and other Leaders in the East know its a lie and won't play their game.
It’s it funny that they say that the last time carbon was this high was when the world was a tropical place. And in a time when people were not adding to it. Mankind can and will adapt to the cycles of the planet. Something that could help is using building materials that last longer and don’t absorb lots of heat, and ban all the junk things that are made to only last a few years then get thrown away. We have the technology to make cars that last a lifetime with only basic maintenance and repairs, but we don’t because it is not profitable. If designed obsolescence was banned we could probably reduce consumption by at least half. Instead now we are getting electric cars forced down our throats that will be scrapped in 8-10 years for no other reason other than that they will stop making batteries and parts. They are so expensive that as soon as you finish making payments on it you will need a new car, keeping you enslaved to the car companies and banks for life. Good luck to my generation who wants to retire in the next 20 years, much less my kid’s generation. I do like how he mentioned that government subsidies paid for his house- calling it free money. Nope no such thing. It is someone else’s money, probably someone who can’t afford such niceties. It isn’t government money, it’s taxpayer’s money. Money that makes it harder for the rest of us to buy groceries because it went to building his house cheaper for him to run. Even funnier is I saw a video recently of a scientist trying to explain the unusual cold snap is the result of global warming. It was -47c due to global warming. When I was a kid they said the hole in the ozone will kill us all. And acid rain. And they said in the ‘70s that we would be in an I’ve age by the year 2000. Seems to me we avoided those catastrophic events, so we should be happy. But happy people don’t bend over and give all their money away. Scared people do. Wonder what the next world destroying man made disaster will be next.
This entire conversation is baseless!!! Decades ago it was shown with laboratory FTIR spectrometer experiments that CO2 has a finite limit on the amount of 15um infrared heat it can absorb from the earth (H. Hug). Its absorption is "saturated" at less than 300ppm CO2 just within several meters from the earth's surface, according to well known Beers-Lambert's Law. Widening the absorption bandwidth, as IPCC attempts, contributes negligibly (

In a leaked 2006 memo of the Intermountain Rural Electric Association (IREA), Michaels is listed as a recipient of at least $100,000 from IREA to combat global warming “alarmists.” The IREA memo outlines a coordinated strategy by Koch Industries, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Michaels, and other key groups. “We have met with Koch, CEI and Dr. Michaels, and they meet among themselves periodically to discuss their activities,” NERA‘s General Manager Stan Lewandowski wrote.
Sure, why wouldn't a TV libertarian know more than 97% of scientists. Whenever 97% of expert scientists tell me what I'm doing is stupid and dangerous I always go with the 3 percent who tell me what I want to hear. The fact that every year since this video is warmer than the previous year and this past July of 2023 is the warmest July ever and Phoenix shattered the above 110° days in a row record to become the warmest U.S. city ever and 2023 is on track to be the the new warmest year doesn't mean squat if my air conditioning keeps working and I don't have any grandchildren anyway so who cares.

Ok. So...
1. Is Carbon a greenhouse gas, a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range? Yes.
2. Have humans increased carbon gas emissions? Yes.
3. Does this increased carbon atmosphere insulate more heat? Yes.
4. Does our more insulated atmosphere affect the climate? Yes.
4.a- For one thing, it means that ocean waters evaporate at an increased rate without an increased rate of condensation. This causes the ocean to become more acidic as it becomes more salty. I think we know that isn't exactly good for the wildlife.
evilbanana _ so tell me 1:what percentage of climate change is caused by humans?2:how did you arrive at that number ?3: what is your solution? 4: how did you arrive at that solution?,. The fact that nobody can answer any of these questions is proof that the human caused climate change ideology is not based on science or reality but purely political and emotionally driven like most leftist movements.
#2 yes but compared to nature, imperceptible.
Your leaving out Solar Cycles brah
You're right we should put a carbon tax on volcanoes
Ok So..
1. Then how is extreme cold also linked to carbon caused climate change. Cold fronts shouldn't be able to form in the first place.
2. Plants "breathe" in carbon, just plant more and stop killing weeds.
3. If this was that simple then we shouldn't technically have any winter weather or it would be hot at night everywhere because of too much trapped heat. Also heat rises and do you know the temperature at 30,000 feet?
4. How much of the climate is affected, you don't know. Droughts and storms would happen with or without climate change.
4a. How do you explain record rainfall now then this year? You know it does rain over the ocean too and storm drains in California head back to the ocean. If the ocean is two salty then we need more fresh water to melt don't we.

Climate change* more extreme winters and extreme summers; and this is just the beginning; other places have it much worse.

Rocco Conte you are the one in dream land. Even if global warming were a hoax, fossil fuels are a limited resource which will run out in at most 100 years. And the majority of “research” that denies climate change is funded by big oil. If you seriously think any politician or group of them would want to destroy the economy when they benefit from it, you are a fool.
It rose a degree in the last 100 years and life expectancy doubled!
That graph at 2:38 is a cringe-worthy argument for a warmer earth. And doesn't it contradict his earlier point?
@@Tbarlow99 the point is that 620 Americans die from heat a year, the point before it was that the heat wave in 2003 killed thousands of people in Europe, so nope
@@williamaftonpizzeria One of the problems with climate change is that it is a large, complicated issue, yet the debate tends to center around celebrities and politicians making arguments like these that 'feel' right. The number of people killed by heat and cold has to do more with access to shelter and heating/AC, and isn't evidence that a warmer earth will be safer by reducing deaths due to cold weather. The largest risks of climate change are sea level rise, species extinction, destabilization of global weather, and loss of cropland. If you really want to learn more about climate science, I HIGHLY encourage you to look outside of politics, and seek out real academic research not motivated by a political agenda. If you can't trust the experts, there is no point.
@@alfstewart2592 Correlation does not equal causation. If you want to present actual proof then you need to show causation. I could say that pirates cause global warming because fewer pirates = higher temperatures. It doesn't prove anything.
@@alfstewart2592 I get what you're saying, but that's apples and oranges. If you're trying to prove climate change doesn't exist, you can't cite better living standards as an example. Unless you're trying to say that climate change is okay BECAUSE we have better living standards. That's a fair argument, but saying climate change isn't real because we don't live like they did 500 years ago makes 0 sense.
It would be like me trying to say the earth has been shrinking in size by 5% every year, just look at how cramped cities have become! It's true that cities have become more densely populated, but that doesn't say anything about the relative size of the planet. Just like living conditions tell me nothing about the climate of the planet.
The ice caps melt, the water level drops.
The truth bout climate change is that it’s a really big problem that we need to take care of as soon as possible……?
I always look towards the wealthy, when they start abandoning their beachside homes then I might start worrying. I believe that someone somewhere is making a shed load of money from climate madness.

Love John Stossel for speaking the truth no matter what
It's not the truth
There used to be crocodiles in the Arctic. Ellesmere Island used to be a tropical forest. Besides, the Russian side of the Arctic will thaw first. Global Warming is in the same category as Covid Gate.
What a waste of time watching someone from the CATO institution talk about climate change.
Stossel is a silly libertarian goose that believes we should still be using DDT! Who in their right mind can trust this man’s judgment?
@@henrycavanagh1259 Sure it is. Only morons still buy into this ridiculous climate change bullshit.
I always love to hear comments like that from someone sooo woefully undereducated to make such a statement. Stossel is WRONG.
Okay so to sum up: climate change is slow, and Stossel and his guests are not sure if the rise in temperatures will be harmful.
Here's the other side - the global temperature rise in the last 100 years has not happened at this speed for 5000 years. We covered a 4 degree rise in the last 5000 years (0.08 degrees per century). In the last 100 years we saw a rise of 0.7 degrees.
TLDR - the process is speeding up. Now, this may seem like a small amount, but bear in mind - this is global average temperature (including temperatures from the extreme places like the Arctic / Egypt). Even a degree increase means a much higher temperature in hotter regions.
Okay that's fine - but is it harmful? Stossel and his guests are right, it's not easy to say. This is a change which usually happens over thousands of years, and it's hard to understand exactly what will go wrong. However, the answer does not seem to be "nothing". Lets keep in mind that human beings were born and evolved over the last 300,000 years, following a slow rise in temperatures. We've never really seen a major temperature variance over such a short duration.
Another thing scientists agree on is that life on earth helps maintain the temperature. Before life existed, the climate of our planet was weird - everything was either lava or it rained for a million years. In a way, all the plants and trees have helped create a temperature necessary for survival.
And we have suddenly destroyed all of it. 90 percent of wildlife areas have vanished over the last few hundred years, with entire species getting wiped out overnight. This is obviously why we are seeing an accelerated temperature rise. Let's be very clear about one thing - if we destroy all the other species on our planet, we will definitely go extinct.
So keeping the above history and context in mind, we can agree on one thing - this is definitely a real problem that needs to be headed off at the pass. Not being able to understand the change is not a good enough excuse to ignore it. I agree with Stossel and his guests that maybe we can be a little less thuggish about how we discuss this topic, but the simple fact is that if the balance of life is disturbed, life for human beings will get worse.
TLDR: Climate change is real. We may not know how it impacts us, but we do know that it impacts us.
