As instantsurgery said, we don’t know what ignited the big bang (universe). And this isn’t a bad thing. It shows humility and honesty and creates the driving force for scientific discovery. But yes, because we don’t know we can not 100% rule out god as a possibility. However There is no evidence for god, thus no reason to believe is was a god and would be scientifically dishonest to say it was god because there is no evidence. If you still wish to believe it was a god, you may, but please realize that that requires faith. And all the modern conveniences that most of society enjoys were not created by faith. I’m not against religion/faith necessarily, just when it steps outside its realm and interjects itself into science.
Stanley Goddard my parents were two pack a day smokers. My mother could actually circular breath her cigarettes smoke. It left her mouth, flowed up her upper lip and back in her nose. I’m not a smoker. There may be no links because the scientists where latterly silenced. I’m not going to research it any further. My parents told me smoking was not good for me, even though they were addicted.

"It's irresponsible to create public policy while ignoring the scientific community's consensus." Well, this aged like fine wine. I wonder if Neil deGrasse Tyson could have predicted our response to Covid based on our response to climate change.
The response to Covid was gross overkill. Any reasonable post pandemic analysis concludes the unintended consequences far exceed any positives. The unintended consequences of course were obvious and suspiciously censored.
The issue of climate change was doomed as soon as it became a political issue, because in that moment, there was always going to be a group of people who chose to believe it or not believe it in order to stay in their political "lane". It seems like we're slowly getting past this but still a ways off.
@Boony Tooty Except they didn't change their mind. Just because you read some article in the newspaper, doesn't mean shit. Science has never predicted another Ice Age any time soon. The global warming was the mainstream science since 60ties.
alblanzjr , exactly. Which is why all these scientists are getting rich writing books and making appearances regarding a theory that they don’t truly believe.
But we don't make important decisions or come to conclusions with just one scientific paper. Michael Manns hockey stick data was corroborated by over two dozen follow-up studies and then affirmed by the National Academy of Sciences, for example. We should never trust one study, no matter the subject.
Right, it was proven that Exxon was funding anti man made climate science studies after realizing the disastrous effects of fossil fuels several decades ago.
@@ericmanget4280Fossil fuels. Do you think dinosaurs leaked all that oil out? Do you think man can change the climate of the entire planet when it is mostly water?
@@karlklein2966 This is the most idiotic reasoning I've read yet.... Anthropogenic climate change on the scale we're doing is absolutely capable of changing the planet. The main contributors are fossil fuels emissions, cattle rearing due to the methane, deforestation releasing thousands of years of stored carbon from old growth forests, and feedback loops such as the majority of the arctic ice melting which would otherwise naturally reflect the sun's light/heat. Go look up what's happening to Venice, it's literally underwater right now: th-cam.com/video/QhaSeJu_mVs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FRANCE24English. Were you asleep all of 2020? There were raging wildfires that turned the fucking air sepia toned across North America and Australia: th-cam.com/video/ccpg_1kilIA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BloombergQuicktake%3ANow. The arctic is shrinking at a rate that it'll be gone in a few decades. The coral reefs across the world are all being killed due to the ocean's rising PH level from climate change. You think this is all just a coincidence that it's all happening within a ~century of the industrial revolution?
You get crazy people in every profession. Being intelligent doesn't mean you can't suffer from mental health or be influenced by greed. You're obviously going to get the odd scientist whose papers are not accurate, but as Tyson said, you take things seriously when a large number of scientists are in agreement.
You can't cherry pick science unless you believe the smartphone you are watching TH-cam videos on is powered by magic and not decades of rigorous scientific innovation.
The entire scientific compendium is based on magic occult practices. There would have been no Copernicus, Galileo, or Newton without the Corpus Hermetica...there would have been no scientific revolution.
You are cherry picking right now. Your smartphone may be an example of a scientific technical achievement that you appreciate, but what about all of the things created by science you do not appreciate. Global warming itself has been caused by science.
Global warming is caused by the Sun, Jupiter, Earth's magnetic field, the dust cloud the Sun has been moving through that we are beginning to exit, and cosmic rays. Not burning gas and farting.
There can be valid and properly executed science, but no science is true. In science, there is no assertion which could be true or false, the assertion or theory comes later. This is the position that no scientific statements are true, it is called scientific nihilism.
Your an idiot. There is no actual hard evidence humans are the cause. None. Neil is basically saying well these 100 say this and these 11 say this so we go with the 100.
Did anyone else catch the part where Neil deGrasse Tyson is claiming that Abraham Lincoln was passing laws in 1963 clearly he meant 1863 it's just funny when someone's trying to get their point across in their speech and they have a slight error of a hundred years I love you Neal it's okay it just shows you're human xxo
Tyson may be a smooth talker and can spin a good story about how CO2 will be the death of all of humanity and most animal species, but if you fact check just a little about his fraudulent parroting of the easily refuted claim that there is a 97% consensus among climate scientists that human consumption of fossil fuels is the major cause of "Climate Change", then you can see why his ilk is deathly afraid of debating the top critics of their Climate Armageddon fairytale. I'd much rather put my trust in a dark asian witch doctor because their "hotness" is real! ;)
David Foster not when they weren’t educated on the idea of Gods. Unlike climate scientists they were clueless. If a 97% majority believe that’s the way an evidence is pointing it suggests 3% do not have the prowess to back up the claim. Simple.
David Foster again not a valid claim, religion is a faith based claim, whereas climate change is done totally off data and evidence. It’s a silly comparison
“I am so tired of people who cry about climate change and jump on the band wagon of stupidity.

On the matter of scientific consencus: In a formal reaction to the book ‘Hundred authors against Einstein (1931)’, Einstein responded: “Why hundred? If I were wrong, one would have been enough.
That's bullshit. Einstein just repeated what OTHER scientists were already saying; and then in 1950 the propaganda-press gave him credit for it so that Russians couldn't claim they did it.

It's really tough to separate science and politics in today's world. I do know this....when there is enough money involved, people will try to convince you of anything
While global warming is real what he's saying I think is we need open debates on all sides to figure out how much of climate change is being done by humans vs natural progression.
0:45 Copernicus had a scientific paper that took hundreds of years for a majority of "Scientists" to accept. Science is not conducted by consensus, it requires proof.
It requires "proof" that is falsifiable and a body of work that is actually allowed to be published that attempts to falsify that proof. The mere fact that you can't publish a work where you outwardly attempt to falsify man-made global warming, is pretty bad and unscientific; HOWEVER, we're beyond that... Not only are you denied your right, your role necessarily as a scientist, to subject a study to falsification, but the mere notion, the intention to do such, results in career suicide....that means, by default, man-made global warming is not science. If it were, there wouldn't be only a "2-3%" of papers with dissenting opinion. Science isn't a goddamn Democracy, and it can't be subjective within a study, but also it can't be subjective in managing the body of allowable studies. 2-3% is a clear indication there is pseudoscience happening. Every single study published has to name it's potential faults, where it could have been improved, and the limitations of the study....in order to yield to falsifiability. 2-3% doesn't cover those weaknesses - 20-30% would still be low. If it hit a 30% falsification attempts published and they couldn't do it, maybe...maybe I would say man-made global warming is accurately stated. 97% consensus doesn't make sense scientifically. It makes sense in a political context...maybe..., but definitely not a Scientific context...
Of course, science is not a matter of consensus, it's a matter of working through everything that goes into making a conclusion based on facts. There is a lot that goes into it. Most laymen and politicians, they are not equipped to go through it all, nor would most of them have time or will to do so. But politicians still need to make decisions, based on science they don't understand. So how are they to know what are facts and what are not? Simple, ask what the consensus of scientists is. That's the only way to approach this, they are not scientists, they cannot actually do the science in order to reach a conclusion, they can't even learn properly what scientists have already done, but they still need to know what is the TL;DR and make decisions based on that.
@@j.macjordan9779 there is no dissenting opinion left, because there is nothing left to try and disprove that hasn't been tried already. It's all been done and tried decades ago. You don't see any climate change rebuttals the same way you don't see any heliocentrism rebuttals, it's ancient history. FFS, Joseph Fourier figured greenhouse effect out in 1824, climate change deniers haven't even caught up that far. Actual scientists have better things to do than try and refute basic thermodynamics. The effort is on more accurately quantifying all the variables and on doing more accurate analysis on how much and how fast.
@@aleksandersuur9475 Can you explain to me what thermodynamics has to do do with "Climate Change"? Just because the word has "therm" in it, it has nothing to do with "Global Warming". I'm baffled? Like they say," if you don't know what you're talking about , baffle them with BS".
@@thevoiceofreason2153 I'm sorry for using a term you are not familiar with, but I think that I can indeed easily explain it. Thermodynamics is a branch of physics dealing with transfer of heat, change in temperature and how it relates to energy, work and so on. So if we talk about something cooling or warming, then thermodynamics has everything to do with it, that is the physical basis for the entire change in temperature thingy. You will be learning the basics of it in physics class once you get to about grade 6 or 7 in your school, it might seem a bit complicated at first, but don't worry, it really isn't, everyone else learns it, you will too.
"The energy budget of this system involves the absorption and reemission of about 200 watts per square meter. Doubling CO2 involves a 2% perturbation to this budget. So do minor changes in clouds and other features, and such changes are common. In this complex multi-factor system, what is the likelihood of the climate (which, itself, consists in many variables and not just globally averaged temperature anomaly) is controlled by this 2% perturbation in a single variable? Believing this is pretty close to believing in magic. Instead, you are told that it is believing in ‘science.’ Such a claim should be a tip-off that something is amiss. After all, science is a mode of inquiry rather than a belief structure." - Richard Lindzen, MIT atmospheric science professor and lead author of Chapter 7, "Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks," of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Third Assessment Report on climate change.
This is the best analysis I've ever seen on the unfortunate and dangerous phenomenon of non-scientists inserting themselves into the scientific process. Neil rocks!
Neil is part of the cult of popular science aka "cargocult science" And that 97% of scientists statement is 100% fabricated, as with this singular example of the hundreds of papers that are misrepresented by the cook et al. 2013 "consensus" on anthrpogenic global climate change. Dr. Soon, your paper 'Polar Bear Population Forecasts: A Public-Policy Forecasting Audit' is categorized by Cook et al. (2013) as having; "No Position on AGW". Is this an accurate representation of your paper? Soon: "I am sure that this rating of no position on AGW by CO2 is nowhere accurate nor correct. Rating our serious auditing paper from just a reading of the abstract or words contained in the title of the paper is surely a bad mistake. Specifically, anyone can easily read the statements in our paper as quoted below: "For example, Soon et al. (2001) found that the current generation of GCMs is unable to meaningfully calculate the effects that additional atmospheric carbon dioxide has on the climate. This is because of the uncertainty about the past and present climate and ignorance about relevant weather and climate processes." Here is at least one of our positions on AGW by CO2: the main tool climate scientists used to confirm or reject their CO2-AGW hypothesis is largely not validated and hence has a very limited role for any diagnosis or even predicting real-world regional impacts for any changes in atmospheric CO2. I hope my scientific views and conclusions are clear to anyone that will spend time reading our papers. Cook et al. (2013) is not the study to read if you want to find out about what we say and conclude in our own scientific works." Any further comment on the Cook et al. (2013) paper? Soon: "No extra comment on Cook et al. (2013) is necessary as it is not a paper aiming to help anyone understand the science."

Dr. Scafetta, your paper 'Phenomenological solar contribution to the 1900-2000 global surface warming' is categorized by Cook et al. (2013) as; "Explicitly endorses and quantifies AGW as 50+%" Is this an accurate representation of your paper? Scafetta: "Cook et al. (2013) is based on a strawman argument because it does not correctly define the IPCC AGW theory, which is NOT that human emissions have contributed 50%+ of the global warming since 1900 but that almost 90-100% of the observed global warming was induced by human emission. What my papers say is that the IPCC view is erroneous because about 40-70% of the global warming observed from 1900 to 2000 was induced by the sun. This implies that the true climate sensitivity to CO2 doubling is likely around 1.5 C or less, and that the 21st century projections must be reduced by at least a factor of 2 or more. Of that the sun contributed (more or less) as much as the anthropogenic forcings. The "less" claim is based on alternative solar models (e.g. ACRIM instead of PMOD) and also on the observation that part of the observed global warming might be due to urban heat island effect, and not to CO2. By using the 50% borderline a lot of so-called "skeptical works" including some of mine are included in their 97%."
Hell, Americans should live in India for a few years and witness the irregularities in Monsoons that didn't exist a few years ago. The state of Kerala got flooded because it rained too much too quickly. 2 years ago it was dry as a bone. We see these irregularities become more extreme year after year. Idiots will continue to argue even a the brink of extinction.
+82 Pythons India's monsoon season in 2018 is NOTHING close to being below average. Don't talk out of your rear, come live under the many feet of flood that previously dry areas are under before you jump to your cranially deficient conclusions. It is not the fact that climate changes that is the problem. Any average middle-schooler ought to know that climate changes. It is the alarming rate at which it is doing so currently, that is the problem. But let us pretend that climate always changed this quickly before humans. Well, earthquakes always happened, that doesn't mean we should stop research into earthquake resistant buildings and such. If climate change will cause an apocalyptic change in human society, we ought to prevent it, whether or not it is natural. We did not become the dominant species by idly sitting by while the planet exterminated us.
AI XE........despite you going completely off the rails there, I'm gonna ask you this relating to your "apocalyptic change" you mentioned. Can we agree that there once was at least one ice age? If an ice age occurred again, one would call that apocalyptic! So, should we therefore not be warming the planet to prevent this disaster? Can you see how your theory falls completely flat on its face now?
JustUsFlyers Notice that I mentioned that it would be apocalyptic to our society, not to life in general. Life does, as the meme/cliche goes, find a way. Society, however, is a different matter. Do not pretend to understand the causes behind ice ages. The causes of ice ages are not fully understood, and no ice age has ever been affected by a preceding period of warmth. Warmth that, in many cases, far exceeded what humans can comfortably thrive in. The ice ages are complex phenomena that are rather more intricate than thawing a leg of frozen mutton or whatever. As usual, nothing I said falls flat on any part of its metaphorical body.
What are you on about?? I'm assuming extermination only affects society then? HAHA. Christ you're off the chart arent you? Where did I even mention the cause of an ice age lol. I was merely pointing out that if in your world we can prevent the "theory" of the planet warming, then surely we could prevent another ice age should it occur? You say this is possible whether natural or man made. So if a warming planet is occurring, and its completely natural, how do you propose we prevent it warming enough to affect "society"??
Are you denying the climate science or accepting the science as true and struggling with the best ecoomic approach to address the warnings and obvious devastation?
Jrouche the science is not settled, it’s a theory, and a bad one... water vapor is a bigger greenhouse gas than co2. And even if it were a settled theory, the US is not the largest polluter in the world. Even worse still...the largest polluter here in the US is the federal government, and if you think for even a second that they are going cut back...well you’re not very bright. I do agree however that we, normal regular people can do more to prevent pollution but that brings me to my original question...how does taxing US citizens a billion dollars fix this?
Jrouche no one is denying climate change, the climate is always changing. But pretending that the WORLD IS ENDING in 12 or 11 years whatever dumb number it is, is just a lie and fearmongering to just get elected. The same people who want to end climate change are driving their cars everyday, eating beef, not recycling, and they want others to do something about it. Hypocrisy at its finest.

In fact, based on the group’s own numbers, only 12% of the signers have degrees (of any kind) in earth, environmental, or atmospheric science.

It's interesting how 100 million years ago there was 5 to 10 times as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and yet plant and animal life was larger in size and more abundant. The temperature was fine for life, nothing was drowning from rising sea levels, and there were many ice ages since then.
Those plants and animals also had a HIGHER RESISTANCE TO WETBULB TEMPERATURES. Human body core temperature is 36 degree Celsius. You see the implication?

(2013) is not the study to read if you want to find out about what we say and conclude in our own scientific works." Any further comment on the Cook et al. (2013) paper? Soon: "No extra comment on Cook et al. (2013) is necessary as it is not a paper aiming to help anyone understand the science."
How come he doesn’t speak out about Al Gore buying a home next to the beach ? How come he doesn’t speak out about Al Gore flying around in private jets ? How come he doesn’t speak out about Al Gore selling his TV to big oil ? How come he doesn’t speak out about Al Gores 20x ave. Carbon footprint?
Him Bike Agreed. And also, how come Tyson doesn't mention all the apocalyptic predictions that Al Gore made that turned out to be completely false! If all beach front property was destined to be under water within a few decades, why would wealthy people invest in it and mortgage companies be stupid enough to be involved in such a risky venture? Maybe Al Gore's prediction of rising ocean levels caused the value of water front property to drop so that he and his friends could buy it up at a lower price. Hmmm. I'm dying for someone to release a documentary called The Inconvenient Truth about Al Gore. Hopefully it comes out within 12 years as that's apparently when the world is going to end according to AOC.
yep. Still wondering why the greedy banks and insurance companies who do NOT like risk continue to give mortgages for homes built along the eastern seaboard. you fools have been duped!!!
Because information is power. The science on whether human-induced climate change is occurring is settled, but something as dire as this needs specific information. How fast is climate change accelerating? Are our efforts truly making a difference already? Which regions will be impacted the most? Think of it this way- in the 1980's researched were able to confirm the existence of HIV. But what if they just stopped there? What if they did not investigate how it affects the human body, and what medicine can do about it? Same with climate change, we need a whole lot more information than "yup, it exists".
"They?" Which "they" are you talking about here, the people who don't want to believe in climate change and think that by ridiculing the scientists, spokespeople and regular folks, that it will just "go away?" Or perhaps you meant the people with the cojones to acknowledge that a disaster is bearing down on us and have the temerity to speak out about it? Which "they" do you mean?
Some good points. Some reflections: 1) We should not be concerned with “settle science” (aka scientific consensus) but rather of truth. Anyone should be free to question anything but humble enough to know the limits of their own expertise. 2) You can’t point to any instance of a weather event (e.g. the hurricane, as was done here) as proof of climate change. The one could be true without the other. 3) What I am most skeptical about personally is not that human’s are contributing to climate change but that the effects of the change constitute a crisis.
I don’t disagree with Neil but I’d prefer to see some charts of CO2 levels, ocean acidity over the years, average yearly rainfall. Some numbers not just talk.
How dare you question Tyson! He sir, is a complete genius who gets nothing for promoting a government agenda. And if you talk back I will be forced to call you a hate filled racist.... dont make me go there!
So how does he respond to Profs. Lindzen (MIT), Happer (Princeton), Christie (Huntsville) and others who go, (a) the satellite data says the temp hasn't gone up as much as you're saying. Have you checked your thermometers aren't being affected by urban sprawl? (b) our plants are LOVING it because they evolved to eat much higher levels of CO2 than we have now (we pump it in at 1000 ppm to greenhouses because that's what they like). (c) CO2 levels have been MUCH higher in the past (2,000 ppm when brachiosaurus was stomping about) and the world survived. It was at 7,000 ppm when our fossil fuels were laid down. How about the NOAA's own ice core samples that show we go through periods of warming and cooling, and peak warming every 100,000 years or so (we're just over 100,000 years since the last one)? How does he justify plunging the west, responsible for less than 50% of CO2 emissions (which are greening the planet. China and Asia, plus developing countries being helped by China, account for over 50%) into economic disaster, with its associated starvation, suicides, riots and revolutions over something that happens regularly, and that we cannot stop even if it WAS our fault because the biggest 'polluters' won't play ball (India calls it eco-colonialism. Frankly, I'm with them). Is the temp rising? Yes. It does that. Every 100,000 years or so, it goes very high. Then it drops down to around -3 to -4. The last one (just over 100,000 years ago) was the Eemian. 100,000 years before that we had La Bouchet, 100,000 before that Purfleet, and 100,000 before that the Hoxnian. It happens, it's predictable. We need to focus not on stopping it, but on steeling ourselves to deal with it because even if we stopped (everyone, including China, Asia, etc) producing CO2 tomorrow, the temp with STILL go up. We also need to find a reliable power source that can work in subzero temps, because that's what comes next. Wind and solar will not cut it. CO2 is 0.04% of the 1% of GHGs. Of that over 96% is entirely natural (plants and animals breathing, evaporation from the oceans, volcanic activity, etc). Man is responsible for less than 4% of 0.04% of 1%. If the Earth were SO sensitive that it would burn up if we carry on, it would have burned to a crisp when Krakatoa went boom in 1882. It didn't. The Earth can cope. It IS coping by growing more plants (which are feeding the people, so win-win). Bottom line. The threats to the farmers (Eire told they must slaughter 200,000 cattle, farmers across Europe told they must stop growing food, stop using fertilizers and generally stop running efficient farms) has led to outcry because we all know that if they stop, we starve. They're telling us to get rid of our cars and shift to electric, but the grid couldn't cope if we COULD do that, and most of us are too broke thanks to the cost of heating and fuel right now. We're poor and we're starting to get very, VERY angry. Most of the alarmist stuff is coming from one model, RCP 8.5. They put figures we know from 50 years ago into RCP 8.5 and asked it to tell us the weather today. We're all, apparently, dead. Of all the models, RCP 2.4 (I think) is the lowest and most accurately aligns with reality, but it's not scary, so they don't use it for the press briefings. There's only so long you can keep crying wolf. Stop funding this idiocy and you'd be amazed how fast the fearmongering goes down. I've seen papers on how diabetes is responsible for the obesity epidemic (as opposed to stupid amounts of cheap sugar in the food and sedentary lifestyles) and diabetes. Say ANYTHING is caused by climate change, and you'll get published, even if it's utter rubbish. This has got to stop. Use the trillions being pushed into this into defences against rising sea levels, research into genuine alternatives to fossil fuels (which WILL run out one day, and we need something we can turn on and off to accommodate peaks in demands. You can't do that with a nuclear power station!), and ways to keep people cool because we're going to need it, but stop saying we're going to turn into Venus. We simply won't. We're not close enough to the sun, we have MUCH more water than that planet ever had, and Earth has been through this MANY times before.
@@grobmanm I'm not exactly sure where you're going with this. You think telling people that a disaster is about to happen is "alarmist" (which I'm assuming from the context of your comment is supposed to be a bad thing) and then bring polar bears into it. Is the lookout on the Titanic shouting "Iceberg" being alarmist? Is a smoke detector's high pitched squeal, telling you to get out of the house as smoke fills the room, being alarmist? Is someone running down the corridor of a school, shouting about a gunman, being an alarmist? I live in Australia. We've had bush fires (what you might call forest fires) for several weeks now all up the east coast of Australia. Our bush fire season gets longer and longer every year. It's almost overlapping with the California forest fire season now. I hear the word "unprecedented" every time I turn on the TV. Every year the drought gets worse. Farmers are going bankrupt and being driven from the land. Dams that used to be filled are drying up. The 5 hottest years on record have been in the last decade. The Great Barrier Reef is on the endangered list. Hurricanes and cyclones are becoming more frequent and more powerful. But I'm sorry if I'm being an alarmist. Just take the batteries out of the smoke alarm, roll over and go back to sleep. Ignore all the smoke that's filling the room. Nothing bad could really happen, could it?
He is right except that the cherry picking is almost entirely being done on his side of the argument! Using hurricanes to validate his argument actually invalidates it - there is no discernible change in frequency or strength in the last 100 years, the opposite if anything.
Science is invariably, always wrong. Which is the main point of the scientific method and the falsification principle. If there's any wisdom this debate will reveal to the masses about science is that It's meant to be treated as a system that forever updates itself because it can never be true. To prevent or oppose criticism of any theory is to retard scientific progress that leads to useful outcomes.
@@nicknametoolong Oh sure, Democrats love science......until it comes to the PROVEN science that says that there are TWO genders (2), and the science of the XY sex-determination system and how gender is determined.

I think that one important thing that Tyson points out in this video is the fact that you can find a scientific paper that says almost anything. Because of this, people can point out any random paper with nothing else to back it up to support their false beliefs. He calls this cherry picking. When creating any kind of opinion or policy, it is important that we always pick out information that is supported by numerous scientists and that is what Tyson calls "settled science". It is important that we all base our opinions on established facts and that politicians do the same with policies.
@jumpingblue1623 Incorrect. Before Galileo, the modern scientific method did not exist. It was the Catholic church that persecuted Galileo and pressured others to agree with the church. Galileo dared to differ with orthodox church doctrine and was punished for it. The church used the Bible to determine what was true concerning the cosmos, Galileo used methods of discovery that conflicted with what was accepted from biblical teachings. Galileo helped to pioneer the modern scientific method but was regarded as a heretic in his day. So you see the consensus Galileo fought was one derived from religious dogma, not scientific research. Because of this stance, he is regarded today as a hero - and rightly so. You have this backwards.
The scientific papers that support "climate change" have been cherry picked. The majority of scientists remain skeptical on the issue. The rate at which man effects climate change is not a consensus.

Consensus comes after scientific evidence has been peer-reviewed and tested and enough similar conclusions are drawn from it by other scientists. It's not something that is voted on. Authors of seven climate consensus studies - including Naomi Oreskes, Peter Doran, William Anderegg, Bart Verheggen, Ed Maibach, J. Stuart Carlton, and John Cook - co-authored a paper that should settle the expert climate consensus question once and for all. The two key conclusions from the paper are: 1) Depending on exactly how you measure the expert consensus, it’s somewhere between 90% and 100% that agree humans are responsible for climate change, with most of our studies finding 97% consensus among publishing climate scientists. 2) The greater the climate expertise among those surveyed, the higher the consensus on human-caused global warming. skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus-intermediate.htm

According to the World Meteorological Organization, sea level rise has doubled since the 1990s. According to NOAA, high tide flooding along the American south is up 400% since the year 2000. It's up 1100% along the Gulf Coast. Even the northeast, which is uprising land from glacial rebound, is up 140%. New York already has a $10 billion-dollar flood mitigation project in the works. Houston has a $20 billion-dollar project. Miami Beach has already spent $500 million on sea pumps alone. None of these are for shits and giggles.
I was interested until he started talking about 50 inches of rain in houston, i.e. the weather. There is no upward tendency in numbers of or strengths of hurricanes. Apples and oranges, and as a scientist I know he knew better..
In Australia...no correlation between rainfall patterns and climate change (?) FACT.......... Another fact, cherry picking of rainfall data from the last 20 years (doom) BUT data taken over the last 100 yrs including the above (all ok)... hmmm agendas?
The term " the science is settled" should make any science minded individual cringe. "When you find yourself on the side of the majority its time to pause and reflect" -Mark Twain

In my direct experience, most science deniers are religious. So why shouldn't they cherry pick science in the same way they cherry pick their holy books?
"This is a knowwwnnnnnn correspondence." - Tyson almost gave himself away, but he caught himself before saying "This is an known CORRELATION." - And, of course, correlation DOES NOT equal causation. Also, to excoriate his opponents for cherry picking data when that's exactly what Michael Mann and others of his ilk do, is incredible hubris. Tyson is not a scientist.

He just says things are known because of "research and science" ....but he never says anything scientific....how do you know? Show us something real, something observable, and undeniable...if it cant be proven and repeated, then its not science.
If consensus were to be the litmus test for what is true in science then we would still be deferring to Galen in medicine and maintaining that the earth is the center of the universe. The only problem with consensus is that the studies from academics nowadays has been so poorly managed that people cannot trust the research. “What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we’ll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.” -- Chernobyl
This is flawed reasoning because the threshold for saying the Earth was the center of the universe was significantly lower than the threshold for saying that human activity is accelerating the rate of change in the global climate. Consensus itself isn't a reason for something to be true, but modern consensus a lot of very smart people arriving at the exact same conclusion over decades using better and better technology. There aren't any competing theories, except for Fox viewers proposing that nothing is happening at all.
I would suggest you read the IPCC report and what it really says about climate change. The percentage of flawed studies in science as a percentage is VERY high now a days. I think your deferral to very smart people are naive as best. You need to read both side of the argument yourself as there are some very smart people on BOTH sides. If you remember your decades studies use to call it "Global Warming" and when that did not turn out to be true they call it "Climate Change". Also the conclusions of many of these studies have predicted that we all should be dead by now. Last I looked we are not. Do not rely on others to do your own thinking for you. It's called group think otherwise. My analogue to the erroneous rational to geocentric view is spot on as you had a number of philosophers reaching a conclusion first and then trying to support the rational for it through astronomical observation. I am reminded of the quote from Ronald Coase: "“If you torture the data long enough, it will confess”. The same holds true today. This holds for both sides of the argument. By the way, no one that I know says that climate change is not real, but what the causes and consequences of our policies/decisions is in question. @@Ben00000
Regardless if you think that climate change is a matter of belief, rather than scientific fact. The worst thing that can happen if we "pretend" climate change is real is we innovate and reduce pollution. Sounds like a debate not worth having. A nonissue if you will.
I can think of MUCH worse things that can, and currently ARE happening. International sanctions and bans on construction of coal power plants in Africa has forced many areas to remain relatively unindustrialized. Lack of power means poverty, crime, disease, greater strain on endangered species, and starvation.
I am guessing that you are not aware of some scientists who argue that the industrial revolution was great as co2 levels were in danger of being too low to support plant life,,,or that wind power kills millions of birds and caused an Australian city to become a ghost town as a low frequency the turbines messed with their health and also caused chickens to lay yokeless eggs,,we now cant get raw milk in the store ,,even though its been proven that it's way more healthy than the pasteurized and homogenized milk ,,just know when an agenda is pushed and the other side is considered crazy that means it's being forcefed,,,if they want to ban cars they will just shine a spotlight on how many car accidents we have they won't mention how many lives are saved or enriched by it,,that's exactly what they are doing with guns and climate change,,,,,no one ever argued that climate change is not real,,it's the co2 connection that is forced down your throat and you keep wolfing it down like a bear in the fall
TheLast Dragon: First, CO2 is not "pollution". Second: Pretending it is real will have unintended consequences. So it *is* a debate worth having so we know what we are, or are not, dealing with.

While I detest this guy's "nothing made everything" pseudoscience, his date was a Freudian Slip. The other one is his "tax climate change" mantra that he's been paid to support. Science is the practice of finding facts and absolutes through hypothesis and results of those tests. Niel degrasse Tyson has tested the science of his wallet. No more. No less. For THAT I'm disgusted that he calls himself a "scientist" because of a few pieces of paper...the one on his office wall & the few bits in his wallet. Atleast he's not "Shill Lie The Propaganda Guy".
@Aaron Payne. Niel Degras Tyson was correct that Lincoln founded the National Academy of Science though he incorrectly said 1963 instead of 1863!!! Now let's look at the numerous times that YOU made inaccurate statements!!!
"What's happening here, is there are people who have cultural, political, religious, economic philosophies, that they then invoke, when they want to cherry pick one scientific result or another." I applaud this point, but then he goes on to neglect his own cultural philosophy and political affiliation with 'western science' which can form consensus through inherent bias. He then treats 'science' as an entity whose integrity through consensus is not to be challenged... not sure about that. Race science was consensus a few decades ago, and it's effects still linger. Just as an example.
@IamtheFleecer Yea, I am familiar with eugenics, what I am not familiar with is an absolute way to look at its implementation and effects in the world.. Race is just one glaring example of the matrix-like quality of this world, and there are many others, which any sane person should eventually notice and question..
The problem with this argument is that these systems itself often gets upended. Science has often gone through multiple revolutions itself and is constantly updating itself. You can't just say that one scientific article doesn't disprove the overall facts. We all thought that Newtonian mechanics was going to lead to a unified theory, and that physics would be over, but then we had completely upend physics with general relativity and quantum mechanics. Now, we are trying to upend physics again by trying to find flaws in the current theories of science. With climate change specifically, we have seen MULTIPLE predictions made by climate scientists that were wrong (The Great Lakes were predicted before to see a decrease in water levels in 2013, but now we see an overflow), and while the general scientific fact that the the amount of carbon we put into the environment disturbs the ecological balance is true, you have MULTIPLE effects that you haven't considered (carbon dioxide has led to an overall greening of the Earth due to the simple fact that carbon dioxide is salutary towards photosynthesis and growth, leading to a negative feedback loop) , and the solutions you present to solve this crisis are unfeasible and also harm the environment (Solar panels require MASSIVE amounts of carbon to produce, and the waste from these panels are toxic, and wind farms have disturbed the migration patterns of MULTIPLE species and has led many to endangerment). Also, Lincoln signed a bill in 1963?
Valrath823 through history and scientific peered reviewed reports global warming is expected through the earths cycles, mainstream science does not even speak about this because they are told to keep there mouths shut. Why? Spread fear around the world and some people get rich. This mainstream science has polluted the mind of many, this arse hole and Brian cox another arse hole can not argue with people like Gregg broaden, Bruce Lipton and others.

@FAT cat define scientist. 'A scientist is a person engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge that describes and predicts the natural world.' Mark Twain fits this description
Hurricanes actually haven’t increased but they have strengthened. Since 1995 there have been 17 above-normal Atlantic hurricane seasons, as measured by NOAA’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Index. ACE calculates the intensity of a hurricane season by combining the number, wind speed and duration of each tropical cyclone. That’s the largest stretch of above-normal seasons on record. So while there aren’t necessarily more Atlantic hurricanes than before, those that form are getting stronger, with more Category 4 and 5 events. Here’s the cost attributable to climate change for hurricane Harvey: link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584-020-02692-8 Here's the data on strengthening hurricanes: journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/BAMS-D-19-0338.1?af=R
@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 What a joke of an article/paper. It finds upper quantile intensity increases of 3.5-4.5% for ‘07-‘19 compared to ‘81-‘06. I guess the other 100+ years of hurricane history aren’t relevant. Older hurricanes may have less data available, but they still provide relevant data. The found increases are easily attributable to problems with sampling, estimation, or the fact that this paper uses the single highest wind speed over the lifetime of the storm for its statistical calculations. There may be strong evidence for stronger hurricanes, but this article doesn’t provide much of it.

But yes, because we don’t know we can not 100% rule out god as a possibility. However There is no evidence for god, thus no reason to believe is was a god and would be scientifically dishonest to say it was god because there is no evidence. If you still wish to believe it was a god, you may, but please realize that that requires faith. And all the modern conveniences that most of society enjoys were not created by faith. I’m not against religion/faith necessarily, just when it steps outside its realm and interjects itself into science.

0:45 Copernicus had a scientific paper that took hundreds of years for a majority of "Scientists" to accept. Science is not conducted by consensus, it requires proof.
It requires "proof" that is falsifiable and a body of work that is actually allowed to be published that attempts to falsify that proof.
The mere fact that you can't publish a work where you outwardly attempt to falsify man-made global warming, is pretty bad and unscientific; HOWEVER, we're beyond that... Not only are you denied your right, your role necessarily as a scientist, to subject a study to falsification, but the mere notion, the intention to do such, results in career suicide....that means, by default, man-made global warming is not science. If it were, there wouldn't be only a "2-3%" of papers with dissenting opinion. Science isn't a goddamn Democracy, and it can't be subjective within a study, but also it can't be subjective in managing the body of allowable studies. 2-3% is a clear indication there is pseudoscience happening. Every single study published has to name it's potential faults, where it could have been improved, and the limitations of the study....in order to yield to falsifiability. 2-3% doesn't cover those weaknesses - 20-30% would still be low.
If it hit a 30% falsification attempts published and they couldn't do it, maybe...maybe I would say man-made global warming is accurately stated. 97% consensus doesn't make sense scientifically. It makes sense in a political context...maybe..., but definitely not a Scientific context...
Of course, science is not a matter of consensus, it's a matter of working through everything that goes into making a conclusion based on facts. There is a lot that goes into it. Most laymen and politicians, they are not equipped to go through it all, nor would most of them have time or will to do so. But politicians still need to make decisions, based on science they don't understand. So how are they to know what are facts and what are not? Simple, ask what the consensus of scientists is. That's the only way to approach this, they are not scientists, they cannot actually do the science in order to reach a conclusion, they can't even learn properly what scientists have already done, but they still need to know what is the TL;DR and make decisions based on that.

@@thevoiceofreason2153 I'm sorry for using a term you are not familiar with, but I think that I can indeed easily explain it. Thermodynamics is a branch of physics dealing with transfer of heat, change in temperature and how it relates to energy, work and so on. So if we talk about something cooling or warming, then thermodynamics has everything to do with it, that is the physical basis for the entire change in temperature thingy. You will be learning the basics of it in physics class once you get to about grade 6 or 7 in your school, it might seem a bit complicated at first, but don't worry, it really isn't, everyone else learns it, you will too.
"The energy budget of this system involves the absorption and reemission of about 200 watts per square meter. Doubling CO2 involves a 2% perturbation to this budget. So do minor changes in clouds and other features, and such changes are common. In this complex multi-factor system, what is the likelihood of the climate (which, itself, consists in many variables and not just globally averaged temperature anomaly) is controlled by this 2% perturbation in a single variable? Believing this is pretty close to believing in magic. Instead, you are told that it is believing in ‘science.’ Such a claim should be a tip-off that something is amiss. After all, science is a mode of inquiry rather than a belief structure." - Richard Lindzen, MIT atmospheric science professor and lead author of Chapter 7, "Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks," of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Third Assessment Report on climate change.

Dr. Soon, your paper 'Polar Bear Population Forecasts: A Public-Policy Forecasting Audit' is categorized by Cook et al. (2013) as having; "No Position on AGW". Is this an accurate representation of your paper? Soon: "I am sure that this rating of no position on AGW by CO2 is nowhere accurate nor correct. Rating our serious auditing paper from just a reading of the abstract or words contained in the title of the paper is surely a bad mistake. Specifically, anyone can easily read the statements in our paper as quoted below: "For example, Soon et al. (2001) found that the current generation of GCMs is unable to meaningfully calculate the effects that additional atmospheric carbon dioxide has on the climate. This is because of the uncertainty about the past and present climate and ignorance about relevant weather and climate processes." Here is at least one of our positions on AGW by CO2: the main tool climate scientists used to confirm or reject their CO2-AGW hypothesis is largely not validated and hence has a very limited role for any diagnosis or even predicting real-world regional impacts for any changes in atmospheric CO2. I hope my scientific views and conclusions are clear to anyone that will spend time reading our papers. Cook et al. (2013) is not the study to read if you want to find out about what we say and conclude in our own scientific works." Any further comment on the Cook et al. (2013) paper? Soon: "No extra comment on Cook et al. (2013) is necessary as it is not a paper aiming to help anyone understand the science."

Dr. Scafetta, your paper 'Phenomenological solar contribution to the 1900-2000 global surface warming' is categorized by Cook et al. (2013) as; "Explicitly endorses and quantifies AGW as 50+%"
Is this an accurate representation of your paper?
Scafetta: "Cook et al. (2013) is based on a strawman argument because it does not correctly define the IPCC AGW theory, which is NOT that human emissions have contributed 50%+ of the global warming since 1900 but that almost 90-100% of the observed global warming was induced by human emission.
What my papers say is that the IPCC view is erroneous because about 40-70% of the global warming observed from 1900 to 2000 was induced by the sun. This implies that the true climate sensitivity to CO2 doubling is likely around 1.5 C or less, and that the 21st century projections must be reduced by at least a factor of 2 or more. Of that the sun contributed (more or less) as much as the anthropogenic forcings.
The "less" claim is based on alternative solar models (e.g. ACRIM instead of PMOD) and also on the observation that part of the observed global warming might be due to urban heat island effect, and not to CO2.
By using the 50% borderline a lot of so-called "skeptical works" including some of mine are included in their 97%."

Notice that I mentioned that it would be apocalyptic to our society, not to life in general. Life does, as the meme/cliche goes, find a way. Society, however, is a different matter.
Do not pretend to understand the causes behind ice ages. The causes of ice ages are not fully understood, and no ice age has ever been affected by a preceding period of warmth. Warmth that, in many cases, far exceeded what humans can comfortably thrive in.
The ice ages are complex phenomena that are rather more intricate than thawing a leg of frozen mutton or whatever.
As usual, nothing I said falls flat on any part of its metaphorical body.

I was merely pointing out that if in your world we can prevent the "theory" of the planet warming, then surely we could prevent another ice age should it occur?

Well done Einstein , instead of focusing on point you just picking up stupid things which should not matter in this topic.
remember when these same scientists said that our polar icecaps were supposed to be completely gone by now??? back then it was global warming. now I have lost all respect for Neil for using the weather from last year to prove that climate change is real.
wouls you rather our polar ice caps be gone before any meaningful change/policy is enacted to protect coastal areas from rising sea levels? if we waited till all ice caps were melted and gone, the majority of Florida would've been underwater by now and with it, millions of lives lost. and that's just in one state in one country on our planet. imagine the death and destruction on a worldwide scale. we all know that rising sea levels happen globally--unlike you who seems hell-bent on picking and choosing, sea level rise doesn't do that.

It's interesting how 100 million years ago there was 5 to 10 times as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and yet plant and animal life was larger in size and more abundant. The temperature was fine for life, nothing was drowning from rising sea levels, and there were many ice ages since then.
Those plants and animals also had a HIGHER RESISTANCE TO WETBULB TEMPERATURES.
Human body core temperature is 36 degree Celsius.

Dr. Soon, your paper 'Polar Bear Population Forecasts: A Public-Policy Forecasting Audit' is categorized by Cook et al. (2013) as having; "No Position on AGW". Is this an accurate representation of your paper? Soon: "I am sure that this rating of no position on AGW by CO2 is nowhere accurate nor correct. Rating our serious auditing paper from just a reading of the abstract or words contained in the title of the paper is surely a bad mistake. Specifically, anyone can easily read the statements in our paper as quoted below: "For example, Soon et al. (2001) found that the current generation of GCMs is unable to meaningfully calculate the effects that additional atmospheric carbon dioxide has on the climate. This is because of the uncertainty about the past and present climate and ignorance about relevant weather and climate processes." Here is at least one of our positions on AGW by CO2: the main tool climate scientists used to confirm or reject their CO2-AGW hypothesis is largely not validated and hence has a very limited role for any diagnosis or even predicting real-world regional impacts for any changes in atmospheric CO2. I hope my scientific views and conclusions are clear to anyone that will spend time reading our papers. Cook et al. (2013) is not the study to read if you want to find out about what we say and conclude in our own scientific works." Any further comment on the Cook et al. (2013) paper? Soon: "No extra comment on Cook et al. (2013) is necessary as it is not a paper aiming to help anyone understand the science."

If all beach front property was destined to be under water within a few decades, why would wealthy people invest in it and mortgage companies be stupid enough to be involved in such a risky venture? Maybe Al Gore's prediction of rising ocean levels caused the value of water front property to drop so that he and his friends could buy it up at a lower price. Hmmm.

So your only argument against thousands of scientists agreeing on climate change is an American politician being a hypocrite ?
If the science on climate change is settled,then why are climate researchers always putting their hands out for more research grants off governments?
Because information is power. The science on whether human-induced climate change is occurring is settled, but something as dire as this needs specific information. How fast is climate change accelerating? Are our efforts truly making a difference already? Which regions will be impacted the most? Think of it this way- in the 1980's researched were able to confirm the existence of HIV. But what if they just stopped there? What if they did not investigate how it affects the human body, and what medicine can do about it? Same with climate change, we need a whole lot more information than "yup, it exists".
They’ve been using the same fearmongering for 100 years
"They?" Which "they" are you talking about here, the people who don't want to believe in climate change and think that by ridiculing the scientists, spokespeople and regular folks, that it will just "go away?" Or perhaps you meant the people with the cojones to acknowledge that a disaster is bearing down on us and have the temerity to speak out about it? Which "they" do you mean?
Some good points. Some reflections:
1) We should not be concerned with “settle science” (aka scientific consensus) but rather of truth. Anyone should be free to question anything but humble enough to know the limits of their own expertise.
2) You can’t point to any instance of a weather event (e.g. the hurricane, as was done here) as proof of climate change. The one could be true without the other.
3) What I am most skeptical about personally is not that human’s are contributing to climate change but that the effects of the change constitute a crisis.
I don’t disagree with Neil but I’d prefer to see some charts of CO2 levels, ocean acidity over the years, average yearly rainfall. Some numbers not just talk.

So how does he respond to Profs. Lindzen (MIT), Happer (Princeton), Christie (Huntsville) and others who go, (a) the satellite data says the temp hasn't gone up as much as you're saying. Have you checked your thermometers aren't being affected by urban sprawl? (b) our plants are LOVING it because they evolved to eat much higher levels of CO2 than we have now (we pump it in at 1000 ppm to greenhouses because that's what they like). (c) CO2 levels have been MUCH higher in the past (2,000 ppm when brachiosaurus was stomping about) and the world survived. It was at 7,000 ppm when our fossil fuels were laid down. How about the NOAA's own ice core samples that show we go through periods of warming and cooling, and peak warming every 100,000 years or so (we're just over 100,000 years since the last one)? How does he justify plunging the west, responsible for less than 50% of CO2 emissions (which are greening the planet. China and Asia, plus developing countries being helped by China, account for over 50%) into economic disaster, with its associated starvation, suicides, riots and revolutions over something that happens regularly, and that we cannot stop even if it WAS our fault because the biggest 'polluters' won't play ball (India calls it eco-colonialism. Frankly, I'm with them).
Is the temp rising? Yes. It does that. Every 100,000 years or so, it goes very high. Then it drops down to around -3 to -4. The last one (just over 100,000 years ago) was the Eemian. 100,000 years before that we had La Bouchet, 100,000 before that Purfleet, and 100,000 before that the Hoxnian. It happens, it's predictable. We need to focus not on stopping it, but on steeling ourselves to deal with it because even if we stopped (everyone, including China, Asia, etc) producing CO2 tomorrow, the temp with STILL go up. We also need to find a reliable power source that can work in subzero temps, because that's what comes next. Wind and solar will not cut it.
CO2 is 0.04% of the 1% of GHGs. Of that over 96% is entirely natural (plants and animals breathing, evaporation from the oceans, volcanic activity, etc). Man is responsible for less than 4% of 0.04% of 1%. If the Earth were SO sensitive that it would burn up if we carry on, it would have burned to a crisp when Krakatoa went boom in 1882. It didn't. The Earth can cope. It IS coping by growing more plants (which are feeding the people, so win-win).
Bottom line. The threats to the farmers (Eire told they must slaughter 200,000 cattle, farmers across Europe told they must stop growing food, stop using fertilizers and generally stop running efficient farms) has led to outcry because we all know that if they stop, we starve. They're telling us to get rid of our cars and shift to electric, but the grid couldn't cope if we COULD do that, and most of us are too broke thanks to the cost of heating and fuel right now. We're poor and we're starting to get very, VERY angry.
Most of the alarmist stuff is coming from one model, RCP 8.5. They put figures we know from 50 years ago into RCP 8.5 and asked it to tell us the weather today. We're all, apparently, dead. Of all the models, RCP 2.4 (I think) is the lowest and most accurately aligns with reality, but it's not scary, so they don't use it for the press briefings. There's only so long you can keep crying wolf. Stop funding this idiocy and you'd be amazed how fast the fearmongering goes down. I've seen papers on how diabetes is responsible for the obesity epidemic (as opposed to stupid amounts of cheap sugar in the food and sedentary lifestyles) and diabetes. Say ANYTHING is caused by climate change, and you'll get published, even if it's utter rubbish. This has got to stop. Use the trillions being pushed into this into defences against rising sea levels, research into genuine alternatives to fossil fuels (which WILL run out one day, and we need something we can turn on and off to accommodate peaks in demands. You can't do that with a nuclear power station!), and ways to keep people cool because we're going to need it, but stop saying we're going to turn into Venus. We simply won't. We're not close enough to the sun, we have MUCH more water than that planet ever had, and Earth has been through this MANY times before.
There is a difference between climate science and climate alarmism.

I think that one important thing that Tyson points out in this video is the fact that you can find a scientific paper that says almost anything. Because of this, people can point out any random paper with nothing else to back it up to support their false beliefs. He calls this cherry picking. When creating any kind of opinion or policy, it is important that we always pick out information that is supported by numerous scientists and that is what Tyson calls "settled science". It is important that we all base our opinions on established facts and that politicians do the same with policies.
They did that to Galileo.
The fact is it's a global scam. Need help with the facts?
@jumpingblue1623 Incorrect. Before Galileo, the modern scientific method did not exist. It was the Catholic church that persecuted Galileo and pressured others to agree with the church. Galileo dared to differ with orthodox church doctrine and was punished for it.
The church used the Bible to determine what was true concerning the cosmos, Galileo used methods of discovery that conflicted with what was accepted from biblical teachings. Galileo helped to pioneer the modern scientific method but was regarded as a heretic in his day.
So you see the consensus Galileo fought was one derived from religious dogma, not scientific research. Because of this stance, he is regarded today as a hero - and rightly so.

There is a consensus that smoking causes cancer, and other related diseases. I'd say that that means something.
Consensus comes after scientific evidence has been peer-reviewed and tested and enough similar conclusions are drawn from it by other scientists. It's not something that is voted on.
Authors of seven climate consensus studies - including Naomi Oreskes, Peter Doran, William Anderegg, Bart Verheggen, Ed Maibach, J. Stuart Carlton, and John Cook - co-authored a paper that should settle the expert climate consensus question once and for all. The two key conclusions from the paper are:
1) Depending on exactly how you measure the expert consensus, it’s somewhere between 90% and 100% that agree humans are responsible for climate change, with most of our studies finding 97% consensus among publishing climate scientists.
2) The greater the climate expertise among those surveyed, the higher the consensus on human-caused global warming.

If consensus were to be the litmus test for what is true in science then we would still be deferring to Galen in medicine and maintaining that the earth is the center of the universe. The only problem with consensus is that the studies from academics nowadays has been so poorly managed that people cannot trust the research.
“What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we’ll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.” -- Chernobyl
This is flawed reasoning because the threshold for saying the Earth was the center of the universe was significantly lower than the threshold for saying that human activity is accelerating the rate of change in the global climate. Consensus itself isn't a reason for something to be true, but modern consensus a lot of very smart people arriving at the exact same conclusion over decades using better and better technology. There aren't any competing theories, except for Fox viewers proposing that nothing is happening at all.
I would suggest you read the IPCC report and what it really says about climate change. The percentage of flawed studies in science as a percentage is VERY high now a days. I think your deferral to very smart people are naive as best. You need to read both side of the argument yourself as there are some very smart people on BOTH sides. If you remember your decades studies use to call it "Global Warming" and when that did not turn out to be true they call it "Climate Change". Also the conclusions of many of these studies have predicted that we all should be dead by now. Last I looked we are not. Do not rely on others to do your own thinking for you. It's called group think otherwise.
My analogue to the erroneous rational to geocentric view is spot on as you had a number of philosophers reaching a conclusion first and then trying to support the rational for it through astronomical observation. I am reminded of the quote from Ronald Coase: "“If you torture the data long enough, it will confess”. The same holds true today. This holds for both sides of the argument.

I am guessing that you are not aware of some scientists who argue that the industrial revolution was great as co2 levels were in danger of being too low to support plant life,,,or that wind power kills millions of birds and caused an Australian city to become a ghost town as a low frequency the turbines messed with their health and also caused chickens to lay yokeless eggs,,we now cant get raw milk in the store ,,even though its been proven that it's way more healthy than the pasteurized and homogenized milk ,,just know when an agenda is pushed and the other side is considered crazy that means it's being forcefed,,,if they want to ban cars they will just shine a spotlight on how many car accidents we have they won't mention how many lives are saved or enriched by it,,that's exactly what they are doing with guns and climate change,,,,,no one ever argued that climate change is not real,,it's the co2 connection that is forced down your throat and you keep wolfing it down like a bear in the fall
TheLast Dragon: First, CO2 is not "pollution". Second: Pretending it is real will have unintended consequences. So it *is* a debate worth having so we know what we are, or are not, dealing with.
Asuming cliamte change is not real and we decide to cut carbon emmisions it means halfs of the devoloping world will be in energy crysis. No medice clean water Massive migration crisis that current crisis will look like highschool exchange student program. Lot of people will die. THIS IS FUCKING ARGUMENT WE MUST HAVE. IF WE WANT TO MAKE BILION OF PEOPLE DIE LETS AMKE FUCKING SURE IT IS FUCKING NESSESARY. People like you gives em nerve.
TheLast Dragon, a modern day Pascal's Wager?
Perfect example of Psychological Projection... accuse others of that which you yourself are guilty.
Who exactly is accusing others of what they are guilty?
Wait wait wait. Abraham Lincoln signed something into law almost 100 years after his death. That’s umm well interesting
1863.
While I detest this guy's "nothing made everything" pseudoscience, his date was a Freudian Slip.
The other one is his "tax climate change" mantra that he's been paid to support.
Science is the practice of finding facts and absolutes through hypothesis and results of those tests.
Niel degrasse Tyson has tested the science of his wallet.
No more.
No less.
For THAT I'm disgusted that he calls himself a "scientist" because of a few pieces of paper...the one on his office wall & the few bits in his wallet.
Atleast he's not "Shill Lie The Propaganda Guy".

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ABRAHAM LINCOLN
@Aaron Payne. Niel Degras Tyson was correct that Lincoln founded the National Academy of Science though he incorrectly said 1963 instead of 1863!!! Now let's look at the numerous times that YOU made inaccurate statements!!!
When I hear Neil, I hear preaching and I don't even go to church.
So don't warn you when you're about to be hit by an ice cream truck because it might sound like preaching?
Sounds like he's selling something. It would be curious to know what he has done to clean up his act. Getting fat. Eating plenty of red meat ?
"What's happening here, is there are people who have cultural, political, religious, economic philosophies, that they then invoke, when they want to cherry pick one scientific result or another."
I applaud this point, but then he goes on to neglect his own cultural philosophy and political affiliation with 'western science' which can form consensus through inherent bias.
He then treats 'science' as an entity whose integrity through consensus is not to be challenged... not sure about that. Race science was consensus a few decades ago, and it's effects still linger. Just as an example.
You can't classify 'race science' as a type of science since it is considered as a pseudoscience
@@materialdesign9038 I'm not sure you have a firm grasp on the point I've produced.
@IamtheFleecer Yea, I am familiar with eugenics, what I am not familiar with is an absolute way to look at its implementation and effects in the world..
Race is just one glaring example of the matrix-like quality of this world, and there are many others, which any sane person should eventually notice and question..
The problem with this argument is that these systems itself often gets upended. Science has often gone through multiple revolutions itself and is constantly updating itself. You can't just say that one scientific article doesn't disprove the overall facts. We all thought that Newtonian mechanics was going to lead to a unified theory, and that physics would be over, but then we had completely upend physics with general relativity and quantum mechanics. Now, we are trying to upend physics again by trying to find flaws in the current theories of science. With climate change specifically, we have seen MULTIPLE predictions made by climate scientists that were wrong (The Great Lakes were predicted before to see a decrease in water levels in 2013, but now we see an overflow), and while the general scientific fact that the the amount of carbon we put into the environment disturbs the ecological balance is true, you have MULTIPLE effects that you haven't considered (carbon dioxide has led to an overall greening of the Earth due to the simple fact that carbon dioxide is salutary towards photosynthesis and growth, leading to a negative feedback loop) , and the solutions you present to solve this crisis are unfeasible and also harm the environment (Solar panels require MASSIVE amounts of carbon to produce, and the waste from these panels are toxic, and wind farms have disturbed the migration patterns of MULTIPLE species and has led many to endangerment).
Also, Lincoln signed a bill in 1963?
Just because you go with the majority who agree with the same thing, dose not mean it’s right...
Valrath823 through history and scientific peered reviewed reports global warming is expected through the earths cycles, mainstream science does not even speak about this because they are told to keep there mouths shut. Why? Spread fear around the world and some people get rich.
This mainstream science has polluted the mind of many, this arse hole and Brian cox another arse hole can not argue with people like Gregg broaden, Bruce Lipton and others. Study them and the truth is found through own independent research. Going with people that don’t know themselves will get you lost.
I didn’t know Abraham Lincoln was signing legislation in 1963 , he’s so smart
😂
Mark Twain once said, "there are lies, damned lies, and statistics" for a reason.
@FAT cat He was a wise man though.
@FAT cat define scientist.
'A scientist is a person engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge that describes and predicts the natural world.' Mark Twain fits this description

It’s funny because the only people who say it is still a debate are the people who havent ever studied it

Talks about not cherry picking data then also speaks to one or two hurricanes being evidence of climate change. What?
Hurricanes actually haven’t increased but they have strengthened. Since 1995 there have been 17 above-normal Atlantic hurricane seasons, as measured by NOAA’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Index. ACE calculates the intensity of a hurricane season by combining the number, wind speed and duration of each tropical cyclone. That’s the largest stretch of above-normal seasons on record. So while there aren’t necessarily more Atlantic hurricanes than before, those that form are getting stronger, with more Category 4 and 5 events. Here’s the cost attributable to climate change for hurricane Harvey: link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584-020-02692-8
Here's the data on strengthening hurricanes:
journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/BAMS-D-19-0338.1?af=R
@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 What a joke of an article/paper. It finds upper quantile intensity increases of 3.5-4.5% for ‘07-‘19 compared to ‘81-‘06. I guess the other 100+ years of hurricane history aren’t relevant. Older hurricanes may have less data available, but they still provide relevant data. The found increases are easily attributable to problems with sampling, estimation, or the fact that this paper uses the single highest wind speed over the lifetime of the storm for its statistical calculations. There may be strong evidence for stronger hurricanes, but this article doesn’t provide much of it.

In fact, you have to be a simple person to understand what he said. Reality is a bit more complicated.
Money is the root of all science 'denial'.
Y’all: “OMG GUYS DID YOU HEAR HIM SAY 1963 INSTEAD OF 1863”

You know it is a scam when the only thing they do it tax it......
@Ultimagr650. Trump signed a TRILLION DOLLAR tax bill in Dec 2017 that gave the vast majority of tax breaks to the wealthy! Where were you when that was going on? What taxes have been levied on Americans for the consequences of global warming? All you have is a tired cliche that doesn't mean anything!!
@@-0-0-79 What's the point of that even I COULD explain the tax code?
@@-0-0-79 You are asking an irrelevant question. Get back to me when you realize how much you don't understand. And you don't seem to understand climate change at all.
@@-0-0-79 Then look it up YOURSELF instead of taking Trump verbatim. It was well reported that the so called tax bill signed by Trump and ONLY voted on by republicans in both Houses was nothing more then a give away to the wealrhy in this country while the rest of us got crumbs in tax cuts. In fact in excess of ONE TRILLUON $$ went to rich oligharchs in this country!! And they didn't even need it!! Trump is all about pandering to the wealthy and his support for everyone else is lip service in bones to his base. Why do you keep vioting against your own self interest??
When has the earth ever had an extinction during a warming period? seems to me that warm periods were great for building pyramids and the roman empire. Dark ages did not like the cold so much.
@@kirisaurora5206 please do tell when a mass extinction was caused by global warming.
So What’s his solution, oh yeah, carbon tax 😂
It's always about money, ain't it?
Does he really suggest carbon tax is the best economic option? Funny, I would have thought he would leave in depth conversations about economics to the Economists.
Right, as if the carbon tax will fund the movement of all the cities 20 miles inland from the oceans. Why do people build their homes and businesses in the valleys instead of on the hillsides and above? Is it because they are too lazy to commute to the river/ocean to retrieve the benefits they provide?
And what's your solution? Or are you just a troll?
He didnt say carbon tax was THE solution, he said we need to stop arguing about the science because its settled- now we need to start discussin the solutions. He mentioned carbon credits as an example. Straw man aguments make you either an idiot or an asshole- im gonna give you credit and ask why youre being such an asshole?
So Neil you're not a scientist, well Cnn isn't news either. So what is this exactly? Neil you are so full of it.
CNN had 44 Emmy nominations for its news reporting this year. Fox had ZERO. CNN wins Edward R. Murrow awards and Peabody awards too. Fox never does. Just so you know the difference between a real news organization and an entertainment/propaganda arm of the Republican Party.
Neil is a science popularizer and reporter, just as the great Carl Sagan was for years. Neil is an astrophysicist, by the way, and is quite capable of reporting climate science. Everything he says here is correct, with the exception of his Lincoln gaffe. If you think it's incorrect, let me know, and I'll give you the data that says otherwise.
