Already in 1966 the coal industry realised that it was causing global warming.

@@csabo1725 Therefore she requires reminder

Sorry but its dated BADLY. I have looked at Professor Christy's Wikipedia page and read some of his more notable comments. There are some things I'd agree with and others I'd strongly disagree with. I agree that some of the panic clowns have done more harm than good but people like professor Christy are also doing harm as well. I am an aerospace engineer and am trained in complex system analysis. I strongly dislike scientists and engineers who put statements on slides that are misleading. I especially hate things that take a science or engineering degree to understand why what's said is WRONG. At 6:23 in this talk he has a slide up for seasonal weather in America and to the left is the statement: _"In science, a fundamental principle is that when you understand a system, you can predict its behavior."_ That's an incredibly MISLEADING statement because it can be both TRUE and FALSE depending on the system. In complex systems you can't predict what all the inputs are. Its like the game plans for sport. Once the game starts things become less predictable because you can't predict what the other side will do. You can guess their likely behavior and what that might do. With complex systems you can ESTIMATE BEHAVIOR but you cannot PREDICT and certainly not predict the details with 100% certainty. That slide is horribly misleading.

... oh so so terrifyingly HORRIBLE! My how you do fly of into outer space with your hyperbole! You turn a minor point into a nightmare! That's what really nuts people do. For the most part his statement on prediction of systems IS TRUE orher than your NIT PICKING special case of "really complex" systems, (which climate is). HE IS SAYING NO ONE CAN PREDICT CLIMATE, AT LEAST NOT TOTALLY ACCURATELY. That alone nullifies your entire pseudo scientific rant.

Yes agree, common-sense should prevail. Climate change reminds of ants. One ant will for no reason commence on a circular path laying down pheromones as proceeds endlessly around. Other ants join in and before you know there is whole colony of going round and round till they all die. This is because an ant has no vision just the scent trail laid down by a colleague. Well with climate change it is exactly the same. Every scientist is too shit scared to challenge the narrative. They may not get funding, get published or colleagues deride them. Dr John is correct go by the observations and if the predictions are different from the observation then Houston we have a problem.

I'm just a little younger than you. Where I live snow would be a foot deep by mid September and last until mid April. That was the sixties. Winter is getting shorter. Green Christmases are normal now. Snow gone by mid-march. I sold my snowmobile over a decade ago. The gradual reduction in snow got to the point that there wasn't enough snow to use it more than a few weeks. The climate has been warming gradually for at least 6 decades of my life.

@Joe-nz5ql Well that's just oostrich thinking. Humans have managed to burn , and therefore release, millions of years of accumulated carbon in just one century. At this point only a complete bithering, knuckle-dragging, mouth breathing troglodyte would claim this is a natural thing

Yes! A model is nothing more than another format to present a theory, or a prediction to a theory. Sadly, they are misused and presented as crystal balls...and people therefore see them as such. People are weird

Imo depends on how you define "data". If you put numbers into a random algorithm, you get numbers out, and those numbers definitely constitute "data", even if it's completely useless and doesn't predict anything. If you only narrowly define data as "useful data that correctly predicts reality", then of course models don't produce data.

@@drkstrong It's cheap, and they are all failing in Wind and Solar, a fools quest when you need reliable base load power for a civilisation. Check it out. My brother worked for Deutsche Aerospace back in 1993, and the engineers there with him pronounced Wind and Solar a failure in Germany right back then. You are forgetting the huge government subsidies for W & S, and the huge penalties for Coal and Gas, and that is what makes them look cost effective. The infrastructure is huge, copper wire costs a fortune, and the maintenance costs are huge, when compared with a coal fired power station, which will last for fifty years, with a much simplified grid for load balancing. I respectfully disagree. There are good reasons why wind power was abandoned for ships, and solar power has never been a serious option. The energy density of both is far too low, and a limiting factor on both. And battery technology for 100% wind and solar is a pipe dream: you'll never power a big city on that as backup. How come no country has found they can't provide cheap electricity using coal, as it's been done for 100 years with electricity costing 8c per kilowatt hour in Australia back when I was a kid, and cleaning up ash and mining coal was never an issue to push up those costs back in the 1950s and 1960s. Germans are now unable to afford their electricity, and people in Europe are cutting up trees and buying coal to heat their homes. Check out the situation there. AGW Climate Change is the biggest politically motivated fraud ever played out on the Human Race in our increasingly dysfunctional Western World. There will be a reckoning for Science in allowing this fiasco to occur, without scientists calling it out for the nonsense it is.

When you step back and look at the tiny plateau of warmth in a sea of cold called the current Ice Age, you might notice the gigantic mountains of warmth behind us -- as much as +20C warmer for millions of years, with CO2 levels as much as 4000 ppm (10x today's) and no runaway warming. Life thrived from equator to poles. And Warming Alarmists are afraid of life? We live in an Ice Age and the UN wants to cool down the planet. The Holocene has already shown signs of shutting down 3,000 years ago. This "modern" warm period may well be the last of 10 warm periods in the Holocene before the next glacial period starts. And glacial periods are deadly. I'd rather see the Ice Age end and get on with warming all the way to the poles. Disruption? Sure! Change always disrupts, but you can't stop change. Hope for change in the right direction -- toward warmth and life (not ice and death).

yep....it's easier to fool the people that to convince them they have been fooled.

​@@RodMartinJrExcellent points, Rod. When disruptions occur, man has shown the ability to adapt. If Obama's waterfront property gets flooded, he'll move to higher ground, maybe in tropical Alberta or Saskatchewan.

@@bearowen5480 I suspect it'll be a few million years before central Canada is tropical again. We may already be headed for the next glacial period of the current Ice Age. At least the cooling trend of the last 3,000 years suggests this. If CO2 were the control knob of temperature (and it isn't), it would still take thousands of years to melt all of the polar ice. Working against this is the fact that as Earth leaves its current Ice Age, warmer weather would mean more evaporation from the tropics and more snow at the poles, slowing down the melting process. I can't see Greenland melting any faster than 10,000 years, and Antarctica any sooner than 100,000 years. But, again, that's assuming the Ice Age were to start shutting down now, and I don't see any evidence of that. Even if all the ice were to melt by next Tuesday, Obama would have to move, but Al Gore would still be about 300 feet above sea level in his West Coast mansion.

Sorry, you're talking about Milankovitch Cycles, and we're not due an ice age for another 25,000 years or so. That said, melting ice at the poles caused by global warming is now affecting the direction of the Gulf Stream. A recent report in Nature estimates this has the potential to cause an ice age in Europe in around 2050, give or take. That's within our lifetime.@@RodMartinJr

All we can do is compare to the previous 5 interglacial periods of the past 500k yeats. So far, temperatures are still lower than previous...so natural warming seems possible and tirally normal.

Um, your question makes no sense. The last ice age ended about 20,000 years ago. On your second question.. we don't have enough specific data to know 'normal' warming rates. That requires detailed and widespread collection of temperature data.. and we just don't have that prior to about 200 years ago.

Ok, so you agree with him that climate policy is a political issue. Thanks for proving his point.

If the models can't predict the outcome then they are no good! The scaremongering scientists should learn more before they put any faith in these models (which give no value to water vapor - the biggest greenhouse gas of them all and a huge factor in determining the albedo of the atmosphere). But, of course, these "hockey stick" believers really aren't interested in the truth. They have an ugly political agenda to drive forward and, unfortunately, they have won that battle to date. As a freedom-loving taxpayer I seeth with anger when I think about the thievery of "carbon" taxes we have to now pay. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is NOT a pollutant and is completely necessary for all plant life (including plankton in the ocean) to survive on our planet. Shame all you alarmist bastards!

Christy is carefully choosing the data to compare the models to, namely upper atmosphere and satellite data, not on-the ground temperatures. If you consider the latter, then your will find that the climate models do a reasonable job of prediction. Whether you believe climate models or not, the observed trends are undeniable: global average land temperatures are increasing; ocean temperature is increasing. glaciers are collapsing; ice sheets are metling--e.g. Greenland is losing hundreds of gigatons of ice every year; the thickness of the polar ice cap has declined 40%; permafrost is melting; heat waves are more common; extreme cold is less common; the list goes on and on. The linkage between CO2 levels in the atmosphere and Earth's temperature was not well-understood 20 years ago. It is now. Carbon dioxide has exerted a powerful influence on climate in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. Christy is right to point out that the burning of fossil fuels has led to the improvement of our standard of living in the West, and is doing so now in India and China and elsewhere. No one disputes that. This country was built on the backs of coal miners. But the unfortunate side-effect is that burning fossil fuels releases CO2, which is wreaking havoc with the Earth's energy balance. The extraction and burning of fossil fuels also causes a host of respiratory illnesses, occupational deaths (think coal mining accidents, for example), environmental disasters (e.g. oil spills, strip mining, etc.) and cancer deaths. These are facts that Christy ignores. Solar and wind and other renewable energy sources offer a way out of this mess. Why does he dismiss them? Contrary to his claims, Germany and other EU countries (Denmark, the U.K, Netherlands) have embraced renewable energy and are doing very nicely.

@@donaldhughes6310, bullshit!

Total garbage. The climate is not sensitive enough to Co2 to explain atmospheric changes. If it was there would have been impossibly high (for life) average temps and runaway climate get change. The fact is you’re arguing that 0.018% extra Co2 is changing the climate. It’s preposterous.

er so: The obvious factor in the modeling over predicting is the human. It is not just the Ouiji factor, it is undisciplined bias.

Good point!

Our models are far from perfect because climate and weather are chaotic systems. What we can predict is the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and the relentless increase in global temperatures. The better our understanding, the more effective our planning can be, and the more measures we can put in place to prevent or delay catastrophe. The more people listen to nonsense like this, the harder politically this endeavour becomes.

@@timothyrussell4445 there have been fewer extreme weather events than early 20th century not more. I understand that weather modeling is difficult, inaccurate and chaotic which is my point.

' So it could definitely and reasonably be argued that the main reason for 9/11 and the wars was to indebt our nation and citizens to the Zionist International Central Bankers, and to Destroy the Middle Class, Working Class, and poor, cause the death of around 12 Million people in total in their Eugenicist ways, and usher in a system (almost exclusively under authoritarian Democrat/ Leftist/ Liberal rule) presumably justified by the completely unscientific farce of AGW, Climate Change, and the therefore presumably necessitated "U.N. Agenda 21/ 2030 and so-called un "Sustainable Development" in order to Create Artificial Scarcity, Under the Guise of Environmental Necessity. This war and attack on humanity has only ramped up exponentially during this time, and especially in the last 2 to 5 years. We are being attacked from a 1000 different angles/ ways and the vast majority of people don't even know it -- and believe it's just "market forces" of a supposedly failed system of Free Enterprise called "Capitalism". Nothing could be further from the truth though and they are brainwashed into believing this propaganda, because we haven't had anything remotely near Free Market Capitalism for several generations.

yes, Al Gore assured us we were doomed by 2010. It is now 2023 and we are still here.@@Qkano

@@leelarue1354 According to the offical Democratic party policy, we will all be dead in under 6 years from n ow. The "Green New Deal" they affirmed 100% was for 12 years time "unless we stopped using fossil fuels now" and in fact work fossil fuel usage has continued to rise. So I'm guessing everything will stay the same till the day before then the world will be engulfed in a ball of flame. Either that or they were lying bullcrappers.

It's nothing got to do with being 'liberal'. It's about understanding the facts and the science.

@@timothyrussell4445 I cannot prove causation, but the correlation is so strong, I think it has SOMETHING to do with it.

I'm not sure what you mean by correlation, but there is no doubt that atmospheric CO2 causes global warming. This was first established 150 years ago@@tnekkc

@@timothyrussell4445 Up to 25ppm, CO2 is important

He's a stereotypical climate change denier

Political correctness isn't hard to ignore at all. If you need to append a word you immediately change its definition. So appending the word correct with anything means that it's not correct. Shove the politics and stick to what's real. It's really not that hard

And protect your children, or there will be no one worth having a future for.

Stop being a fucking moron. HERE: Firmament: The Hidden Science of Weather, Climate Change and the Air That Surrounds Us (-) Paperback - May 9, 2023 READ science NOT politics. Dr. Christy puts up charts that SHOW the Earth is warming and then says "don't worry." It's a test of our stupidity (and YOURS) If we do NOTHING we may DIE. If we FIX this we live. Why the fuck would anyone, but ignoramuses and lunatics, pick the first??

So? Why are you still able to view them? To promote "green energy?"

How are they not ageing well? I'm sure when this was presented people said the exact same thing..

I guess you don't pay much attention, what's the point right? Going to die soon anyway. @@tomr6955

Dr. John Christy is NOT a "climate scientist" and his hosts of conspiracy deniers is drying up. Ask Dr. John Christy to post his last 20 years of income tax returns and then FOLLOW the fucking MONEY straight from the fossil fuel industry. Wake UP and try to get a fucking CLUE.

The group is small for a reason

Carbon is not CO2

YOU got to be kidding right? Or, you a "bot" from an oil lobby?

Depends on the diets of each, I'm sure

It was hotter then and our society could not have existed as we now know it. And factually humans do not fart more methane than cows. Get a refund on your education.

@@Moleena 1. How would I know what? That our society would be ruined by every coastal area being inundated and the desertification of inland areas? We’d be limited to a small coastal range which would be grossly inadequate for the food needs. We know this because this was how the world was at the time mentioned. 2. Why on earth do you think I want humanity extinct? What a bizarre claim.

When CO2 was 10 time higher, most life was simple animals that lived at the bottom of the sea well away from the CO2.

@@drkstrongno lol. Estimates are that co2 levels during the dinosaur age were actually around 20 times higher than today. That’s why plant life was ginormous during that age.

Jbs1983: Not sure what you are saying................................................................................................................

@@HaroldBrice The point is simple. Once a subject becomes the focus of politics, bad information is guaranteed to be provided. It is the nature of politics to use lies to create a desire in the citizens to 'fix the issue' (trying to create a need for a given politician to be re-elected to help 'fix the issue'), even if from an expert's point of view there is no known solution.

HORSESHIT. You braindead perhaps?? In a coma long term??? Christy believes God gave Man the Oil so it's OK to use it and nothing bad can happen. That's it. In the meantime Congress and "institutes" (paid for by fossil fuel funding or indirect PACs) pay for him to give these HORSESHIT talks to convince the public to continue to VOTE for politicians that keep their insane TRILLIONS in revenues flowing into their bank accounts All clear?? Dr. John Christy = HORSESHIT.

The students didn't show up because they knew he was just a crank.

His parents told him he was super special and super smart...instead of teaching him how to build his own bs meter.

And think the exact opposite.

Absolutely!!!

I believe he mentions transmission costs, not just generation costs. We can't just put solar where the fossil generation was. The infrastructure is expensive.

@@BryceLeeatgoogle Have you watched the video?There is a quite clear introduction on what levelized cost is.It is neither transmission nor generation cost, it is levelized cost which is well defined and needs no further clarification.So back to my comment.Find me a source that calculates the levelized cost of solar photovoltaic systems at 40 cents per kwh because from what I've found it is way way off.

@@stefanoskam the chart he showed was from 2010. In 2015 the cost for residential collection and storage (using a Tesla Powerwall) was much lower at $0.23). The argument for storage of an intermittently available resource is provocative, but I'm sure those costs have continued to fall since 2015 as well, but doubt battery costs are falling at the same rate as PVs

@@BryceLeeatgoogle Levelized cost includes storage cost, so let's just say levelized cost and not mix the definitions. The levelized cost of $0.40/kwh is terribly wrong for 2010 and I don't know where he got this from.$0.15/kwh is more accurate. In 2015, when the video was uploaded, we are talking about less than $0.08/kwh. Why are you referring to residential costs (which are higher) when the video is about state-wide implemedation of solar PV (utility scale systems)?You can't change categories as it suits you to play with prices.You can't use commercial and residential levelized costs when you are talking about a country's energy grid.Also what is your source for that $0.23/kwh cost for residential systems?It seems wrong too. Battery costs are indeed falling slower and storage is a huge and probably unsolvable problem for the near future. My original comment stands.The levelized cost he claims for solar pv is wrong.

@@stefanoskam love to see your sources. Since I'm not an expert I should be easy to convince, but until then I can't see a reason to not accept his numbers, given that this is an old video and the economics are evolving. At least he is an identifiable person, with credentials.

And cutting atmospheric CO2 in half is bordering on mass plant suffocation

In a greenhouse the farmer controls the CO2 level, the temperature, the light, the soil moisture level .... hat does not happen in th ewild.

@@drkstrong point remains that plants grow better with more co2

@@michaelsorensen7567 Even that is not true, after a certain point increasing CO2 makes no difference. Also over time plants adapt and take in less CO2 so they return to their original size because that's what Nature designed them to be so they can support their own weight against winds and heavy rain. See kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMtdn6ee3J-6ZJs.html - lots of myths busted there.

@@drkstrong The earth has added 15 - 20% more green and crop yields (food) are increasing thanks to CO2 emissions. This has held ambient CO2 at 420 ppm for the last 15 years.
