My favorite part is where he is asked what we can do to stop climate change, and his primary answer is to petition the government to address it. Why? Because big industry will have to be forced to address climate change, they'll not voluntarily do so, and they are the primary source of carbon dioxide. Big industry puts forward that illusion, to avoid compliance themselves. Much like recycling, it's a smoke screen, the creators of plastic items should be responsible for funding recycling, not the consumers.

I'm a PhD candidate in pharmacology/toxicology. The people complaining that scientists are fixing data/interpretations to get multimillion dollar grants have no clue what those grants pay for. Those grants generally pay for: the professor's salary over the course of the grant (which tends to be $80-120k/year), post-doc salaries (which tend to be $45-65k a year), graduate student salaries/tuition (which tend to come in at $25-35k/$25-65k a year), lab manager/tech salaries (which tend to come in around $30-60k a year depending on experience), research associate/scientist salaries (which tend to come in around $40-70k a year depending on experience), and then on top of that, the reagents/equipment/animals/etc have to be paid for using that grant money. If a lab has one of each of the personnel that I mentioned, a $1 million dollar grant funded for 4 years would only pay for the salaries of those personnel, if all those personnel were at the minimum of the estimates I mentioned (and half of those personnel either have bachelor's/master's degrees with multiple years of experience and the other half have PhD's). Science is expensive, but not because the people doing the science. Single experiments often cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars to run. Equipment needs to be purchased and maintained, which can cost tens-hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's incredibly frustrating that people are so sure of themselves about topics they know absolutely nothing about.

Greta Thunberg Leo di Caprio Al Gore Joe Biden and the British Royal family are doing more to “save the planet” than the rest of the world put together. They are explaining the science. The Bible is thousands of years old and talks about the deserts in the Middle East it talks about droughts and famine. But thanks to Greta and King Charles we now know the Bible was talking about NOW and climate change. We know that droughts are new, floods are new, earthquakes are new, hurricanes in Florida are all new, shrinking rainforest is new. It’s all due to CO2 emissions of normal working class people. Before 2020 there has never been an illness that could wipe out millions of people. Before 2020 all vaccines were wrong, we now know you are supposed to take vaccines every year. Before 2020 volcanoes earthquakes hurricanes blizzards melting ice floating icebergs that could sink a ship never happened. We all need to get vaccinated against climate change now. CO2 is required by plants and trees. We need to stop CO2 we need stop plants NOW. THE UNITED NATIONS says so. They have all worked together and now we need to do our bit and send world leaders on private planes to all the capital cities to stay at all the luxury hotels to tell us what need to do. There are problems with food supplies and prices are going up. But this is because the war in the Ukraine, so if Ukraine has a democracy there will be universal peace in the Middle East and every commodity will be 100 per cent cheaper so world hunger will cease and energy will be free. Facts.

Excellent answers. As a scientist who answers questions in on-line forums, I am amazed at the level of AGW denial that persists today. To the extent that anything is ever "settled science", the fundamentals of global warming are known and accepted by virtually all researchers. There are differences over the mechanistic details and the timing, but there is no question that it is occurring at an increasing rate and that human activity is the major driver. No other model adequately explains the data.

The climate has constantly changed throughout the history of the earth and yet, here we are... But this time the rate of change gives me chills. I studied environmental science. I watched many system simulations. Most complex systems seem resilient with slow changes over thousands of years or short glitches, but they tend to collapse in unpredictable ways given fast parameters changes.. A bit like braking or accelerating too quickly on a bicycle, even if there is no problem riding at slow or high speed, on the long run.

He mentioned how the more ice melts, the more the waters heat up due to lack of albedo (reflection of light in %), hence leading to more ice lose, is just one positive feedback loop. He mentions the positive feedback loop with regards to the atmosphere's ability to hold more water as temperatures increase. There are many more of these cycles that will heat the climate. Until people, as a species, respect the world we we were given we will become our own demise. Humans are a virus to the Earth, and we gave it a fever t kill us off.

That is an example of a typical activist lei though. A scientist would never say that. It is true that on average summers will get hotter, but the random part of how hot a specific summer gets is still multiple time bigger than the impact of climate change. While one summer can randomly be a few degrees warmer or colder than the summer before, climate change is less than 0.1 degrees per year. So a record summer will not be the coldest for the rest of your life.

Al Gorey,John Kerry, Leonardo de Craprio and several other " Climate Activists " have increased their air mileage in the last 10 years . Any potential contribution that you might have made with your 13 year sacrifice was probably wiped out in 6 months by John Kerry/ Al Gorey. These characters do not walk the talk

Respect for the way you handled the 33year “gotcha question “! I’ve heard that crap before and it’s demonstrably false(as are most conspiracy theories about global heating) and I don’t know how you didn’t lose it on them. I’m really leaning heavily into the theory that we won’t find super intelligent life in the universe because intelligence is not an evolutionary advantage. It’s suicidal, most successful species are “dumb” and you almost never here about them destroying their own environment and causing their own extinction.

Yea it is. Greta Thunberg Leo di Caprio Al Gore Joe Biden and the British Royal family are doing more to “save the planet” than the rest of the world put together. They are explaining the science. The Bible is thousands of years old and talks about the deserts in the Middle East it talks about droughts and famine. But thanks to Greta and King Charles we now know the Bible was talking about NOW and climate change. We know that droughts are new, floods are new, earthquakes are new, hurricanes in Florida are all new, shrinking rainforest is new. It’s all due to CO2 emissions of normal working class people. Before 2020 there has never been an illness that could wipe out millions of people. Before 2020 all vaccines were wrong, we now know you are supposed to take vaccines every year. Before 2020 volcanoes earthquakes hurricanes blizzards melting ice floating icebergs that could sink a ship never happened. We all need to get vaccinated against climate change now. CO2 is required by plants and trees. We need to stop CO2 we need stop plants NOW. THE UNITED NATIONS says so. They have all worked together and now we need to do our bit and send world leaders on private planes to all the capital cities to stay at all the luxury hotels to tell us what need to do. There are problems with food supplies and prices are going up. But this is because the war in the Ukraine, so if Ukraine has a democracy there will be universal peace in the Middle East and every commodity will be 100 per cent cheaper so world hunger will cease and energy will be free.

6:53 Correction: carbon doesn't have 12 protons and 12 electrons. It's the 6th element, and carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. An atom with an atomic mass of ~12 would fly apart *very* fast if it was just protons in the nucleus. Think of the charge density.

4:13 How much could be caused by farming tillage? Watched "Kiss the Ground" with Woody Harrelson and having grown up on a farm it makes a lot of sense that breaking down the organic matter in the soil could cause a lot of CO2 to be released into the atmosphere. If so it feels like it really could be the fastest immediate way to counter climate change. Would love to hear the thoughts of climate specialists on it.
