      We're talking about reverting to the stone age for all the billions of people on the planet to get less change in forecasts than the forecasts have statistical variability. Even IF the forecasts were right, which they're not.
      And regarding actual improvements, we've BEEN improving. There's less emissions and better mileage NOW compared to when the automobile was first invented. Same with all CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use. Only place we haven't improved on CO2 emissions is by decreasing animal respiration, but environmentalists tend to frown on mass slaughter of animals, so...

      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.

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 stumbled on this video in Oct 2021. It is interesting that currently many countries have found that wind and solar are not cutting in right now. The UK, Germany and Australia are in the news all the time talking about it. I believe all three of those countries are now adding back more coal and natural gas electrical generation into their systems in order to balance base and peak load demands. California has recently approved 5 new natgas cogen facilities to be installed for the same reason. And then there is China and the huge number of coal generation being built there and that they are not going to COP26. The problem isn’t moving to a higher percentage of renewables in the world’s energy mix, it is the speed that Governments forced the change. I do think that the early adopters rushed into wind, solar and to a much smaller amount biomass for political virtue signalling reasons, not using a well thought out and achievable timeline to form their policies.

Things are so bad Germany is currently removing windmills as they need to expand a coal mining operation! People went crazy this past summer when London had anomalous high temperatures for a few days, screaming climate change when it was nothing more than weather, at least at this point in time. COP 26 resulted in more infighting than inter-governmental agreement and right now COP 27 is underway with another echo chamber gab fest complete with the ubiquitous private jets littering the nearest airport. (Just like Davos). I was hoping that we would start to see a reasonable approach to a climate sustainable future but that’s not happening as alarmist arm waving is still the order of the day.

      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.

I realized very quickly during my first long-term period of work in the Rift Valley that the lack of access to energy resources we take for granted in the West is THE major factor that affects the quality of life for a most Kenyans. The average Kenyan would love nothing more than to have half the energy-driven conveniences that we enjoy. Life in the Kenyan bush is harsh.

They want access to continuous, economical and reliable energy and wind mills and solar panels do not meet that definition. As Christy says, economical energy saves lives.

      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. Trillions have been wasted on a Quixotic, muddle-headed quest against a mistaken danger. I took a bet against two of my scientist friends that they were wrong in telling me back on January 12 2015, that all life on Earth would be extinguished by 2025. I thought they were joking, but they were serious! They will be sharing the cost of a five course meal for me at the restaurant of my choice on 12 January 2025, getting closer by the day.

Alan is an author of over 80 papers and an Oceanographer. He is the former head of the Bedford Institute on Oceanography. He wrote the book 10 years ago with an update in 2023. Remarkably, Alan is 98 years old in 2023. The title of his book comes from a book written in 1953 with almost the same name. Alan added the word "Climate" in his title. He points out many aspects of using consensus science to establish a fortress of opinion. He resents the lack of natural skeptical science needed to create a debate worthy of Science itself. Furthermore, Alan also expresses real doubt about peer-reviewed papers. This book is a must-read for those who have an interest in science and how it should be carried out. A somewhat difficult read but can be managed by someone with little knowledge. Longhurst presents his opinions based on years of knowledge.

      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).

      @@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.

    This guy's whole point is if all of your experiments and models don't line up with clear observable data, your experiments and models are either lacking data or are populated with erroneous data. What should drive this point home for people is something he pointed out. All of the predictions are higher than the observable data. None are lower. This indicates either there are unseen forces keeping the temps down or the effects of some variable are exaggerated. Either way, no conclusions are possible, other than, they got it wrong.

    • @Oldstrommer
      @Oldstrommer Před 6 lety +3

      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!

    • @donaldhughes6310
      @donaldhughes6310 Před 6 lety +4

      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.

      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.

      @@Qkano - We all died in the year 2000 literally and figuratively and people simply don't know it or understand why that's true. That was the year the Globalist Usury International Central Bankers initiated World War III on humanity in most countries (Western Nations) without a shot being fired. Many things were done in 2000 (and the late 1990s) which were hugely detrimental to mankind (not going to elucidate all of them).
      Then they literally executed 9/11 and the wars in the Middle East. When Bill Clinton left Office (due to Reagan and not because Clinton was a "good" President) we had a National Surplus. After these Wars were over and also due to their Engineered Great Recessions and Plandemics, merely 20 years later, our National Debt was $30+ Trillion (and total debt and unfunded liabilities somewhere closer to $140+ Trillion with every household responsible for close to $1,000,000 of it).
      '
      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.

    Conceptually you could argue that increasing CO2 means you'll trap more of the heat in the planet, but I have a counter to that. If you increase CO2 then you also increase plants capacity to grow and put off more O2. The ozone is made out of O2 and this blocks a number of the rays from the sun. If you increase the capacity to trap heat on the planet with CO2, you end up also increasing the capacity to repel incoming heat from the sun by having a higher concentration of O2 from the plants being improved. In other words, the temperature will not change in a manner not conducive with life.

    Additional CO2 is pumped into greenhouses op to 3X atmospheric, to increase production.

      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.

      @@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.
