people are dying entire ecosystems are

collapsing we are in the beginning of a

mass extinction and all you can talk

about is money and fair Tales of Eternal

economic growth how dare

[Applause]

you this is the story of how an

eccentric environmental scare grew into

a powerful Global

industry it's a wonderful business

opportunity okay you want climate we'll

give you climate there's a huge amount

of money involved and this is a huge big

money scam there are not just now

billions but there are trillions of

dollars at stake it's a story of

self-interest and big government funding

people like me our careers depend on

funding of climate research this is what

I've been doing just about my whole

career this is what the other climate

researchers are doing with their whole

career they don't want this to end if

CO2 isn't having the huge negative

impacts that we claimed it was having

originally how are we going to stay in

business a lot of people's livelihoods

depend on it they're not going to give

that up this is a story of the

corruption of science there's no such

thing as a climate emergency happening

on this planet now it's there's no no

evidence of one the climate alarm is

nonsense you know it's it's a hoax I've

never liked hoax I I think scam is a

better word but I'm willing to live with

hoax it's a story about the bullying and

intimidation of anyone who dares to

challenge the climate alarm to speak up

against or about climate change in any

sort of skeptical way was essentially

career

suicide activists are even calling for

any skepticism to be

criminalized it's the story of an

assault on individual Freedom It's a

Wonderful way to uh increase government

power if there's an existential threat

out there it's worldwide well you need a

powerful worldwide government you know

to cope with it we see all these kind of

uh authoritarian measures being adopted

in the name of saving the planet you've

suddenly got the population under

control all over the

world

we called it industrial

progress since the Industrial Revolution

the development of free market

capitalist mass production has made ever

more Goods ever more affordable to ever

larger numbers of people mass production

marched hand inand with mass

consumption in the Modern Age Ordinary

People enjoy a level of prosperity never

before achieved in human

history but all the while we are told we

were destroying the

[Music]

planet computers have calculated what is

in store for us as we produce and

consume ever more the weather will get

worse the planet will boil we greedy

humans must accept limits on our

lifestyle consume less travel less those

who deny the climate crisis are not just

wrong they're dangerous spreading the

poison of Doubt among a gullible

population these denials should be

shunned and shamed and censored for

these climate deniers are flat earthers

they are

anti-science teaching at New York

University is one of these climate

deniers Professor Steven Koonan is one of

America's leading

physicists he was a science adviser to

President Obama and both vice president

and Provost of Caltech one of the most

prestigious scientific institutes in the

world

world I teach climate science to my

students at NYU and I always tell them

check the data or the papers yourself

and they all come out of that course

with their eyes wide

open Professor coan's best-selling book

unsettled argues that mainstream

scientific studies accepted by official

agencies do not support the notion that

there is any kind of climate crisis at

all of course I've been called a denier

uh and my response is tell me what I'm

denying because I'm quoting from you

directly from the official un scientific

reports dick lindsen also dismisses the

claims of climate alarmists he's one of

the world's leading meteorologists was

professor of meteorology at both Harvard

University and MIT and has served on the

un's intergovernmental panel on climate

change or

ipcc even the intergovernmental panel on

climate change if you go to their

section on working one group one which

is the science they don't support any of

these

claims and I assure you having served on

it's

biased but you couldn't get any real

scientists to agree some of the nonsense

that's being

promoted will haer is also a denier and

is another of America's leading

physicists he has been science adviser

to three presidents and professor of

physics at both Columbia and Princeton

University there's this mischievous uh

idea that's promoted that scientific

truth is determined by consensus in real

science you know there are always

arguments no science is ever settled you

know it just uh is absurd when people

say the science of climate is settled

it's not there's no such thing as sett

science especially

climate Dr John clauser is one of the

most respected scientists in the world

in 20122 he was awarded the Nobel Prize

for physics the science that's being

done is appallingly bad in my opinion

there are a large number of scientists

who are in violent disagreement they

refer to themselves as Skeptics since I

am no longer worried about losing

funding or a job whatever I call myself

a climate change denier

these very eminent and respected

scientists and others like them are not

flat earthers they do not deny science

so what's the evidence that has caused

them to dismiss the climate alarm as

[Music]

nonsense we are told that current

temperatures are unprecedented and

dangerously high it's possible to check

if this is true because we have evidence

of Earth's climate history history

dating back hundreds thousands even

millions of

years the Desert of Judea by the Dead

Sea Professor n shavei from The raker

Institute of physics has come here

looking for

Clues thousands of years ago this place

was underwater and etched into the rocks

are lines which if you know how to read

them tell the story of Earth's climate

history and here's the

climate we are at the uh lake bed of

what used to be Lake lisan um it's a

lake that existed until the end of the

last ice age back then the lake level

was maybe 100 m above where we're

located when we want to reconstruct

climates of the past we have to look for

evidence U for Clues and when the lake

existed it had the deposits and by

looking at these uh layers here we can

actually reconstruct how the climate is

changed

warmer water means more life the

accumulation of more shells and Bones

from sea

creatures and other changes that are

reflected in the ancient layers of the

lake bed the lines act as a kind of

thermometer and this is just one way

geologists can reconstruct past climate

in other places we can go to stalagmite

caves and see the annual rings that you

have in the stalite or we can drill cors

from the bottom of the oan and then look

at layers there or many other places but

here I think this is one of the nicest

places because you can actually see you

can actually see how the climate has

changed so when we look back in time

what do we

[Music]

find for 200 million years dinosaurs

roamed the Earth an earth marked by

fertile dense forests teaming with life

and at no time during those 200 million

years were temperatures as cold as they

are

today if you go back let's say 200

million years it was maybe 13° warmer

than it is now so on the geological

perspective this is not at all

unprecedented for the last 500 million

years temperatures have varied greatly

but for almost all that time the Earth

was much much warmer than

today compared to the last half billion

years the earth right now is

exceptionally cold in fact there are

very few times when it's been this

cold we're relatively cold maybe not

quite the coldest it's been in 500

million years but pretty close to it we

are in a remarkably cool period if we

look over the last 550 million years in

fact only one other time period in that

last 550 million years was the

temperature as cool as it is now the

mammals who now inhabit the Earth began

to evolve around 60 million years ago

when the world was much warmer than

today we just look at the last 65

million years so this is after the

dinosaurs go extinct mammals really

start to take over and our evolutionary

ancestors start to live on the land any

time period within the last 65 million

years was warmer than it is essentially

today the Earth's mammals humans

included appear to thrive when it's warm

warmer than it is now there's no doubt

that warm is better than cold in

geological history we are a tropical

species a human being in the shade naked

dies at 20c from

hypothermia we evolved on the equator in

Africa and the only reason we were able

to get out of there eventually was fire

shelter and

clothing over the last 50 million years

temperatures steadily declined plunging

the earth into what geologists call the

late cazic Ice Age we are still in that

Ice Age the reason there's all that ice

on the poles is because we're in an ice

age everybody knows that who knows

anything about the history of the Earth

this is an Ice Age we're at the tail end

of a 50 million year cooling period and

they're saying it's too

hot if we zoom in on the past few

million years we sea temperatures

sinking and as they do fluctuating

between extremely cold periods and

slightly milder periods the extremely

cold periods are called glacial Maxima

when the planet is mostly covered in ice

and the slightly less cold are called

glacial Minima when there's just ice at

the

poles for the past 10,000 years

fortunately we've been in a slightly

less cold glacial minimum known as the

[Music]

holline with milder weather humans began

to emerge from their caves and several

thousand years ago we see the rise of

the first great civilizations in a

blissful period which according to many

studies was considerably warmer than

today this is known as the hollene

climate

Optimum it was called an Optimum because

people thought that warmer was better

since then temperatures have declined

and began to fluctuate in Roman times

there was a blissfully warm

period followed by brutal cold period in

the Dark

Ages then came the Bain medieval warm

period according to many studies as warm

or warmer than

today followed by an especially cold

period known as the little Ice Age

possibly the coldest in the last 10,000

years and here it is the Roman warm

period the cold Dark Age the medieval

warm period and then the very cold

little ice age from which for the past

300 years or so we've been

recovering

the longest instrumental record of

temperature in the world comes from

Central England and this is what it

shows since the worst of the little ice

age from 1650 the temperature has risen

gently by little more than 1°

C the central England record of

temperature is a world treasure you know

it's the longest continuous record that

we have and it's certainly not a very

alarming record it began in the depths

of the little Ice Age and so you can see

the slight warming that followed the

little ice age and there's certainly

nothing very alarming that's happening

today at the very end of the record most

of the warming that we're observing

today is the recovery from the little

Ice Age whatever calls that well you

know we're talking over the entire

industrial period of about 1°

cenr to put this one degree in

perspective let's look at New York

Central Park Records show that there has

been no overall change in temperature

here since

1940 but from one year to the next the

average temperature can vary by 3° C

without many New Yorkers even noticing

in fact between the warmest year and the

1960s and the coolest in 2000 there's a

difference of 5° C the average

temperature on this day in this year

might be 5° different from the average

temperature a year ago or two years you

know when I hear people pontificating

about 1 and a half degrees leading to

the end of civilization I think what

have they been smoking you know are you

crazy right

so according to thermometer readings

since 1880 there's been a very mild

increase in

temperature only by stretching the Y AIS

on this graph is the increase noticeable

this is the rising line used by official

agencies as proof of global warming but

is it it

accurate Professor Ross mckitrick is an

expert in statistical analysis at GF

University he noticed something odd

about modern thermometer records

thermometers even in the same region

give out very different readings

depending on where they're located I was

interested in the question of how do you

explain the spatial pattern of warming

so some places warm a lot some places

don't warm much and it turns out highly

correlated with the spatial pattern of

economics

activity where there are more people and

there is more human activity there's

more heat this is known as the urban

heat island

effect Urban heat island effect is

essentially London right you pick London

with buildings with a lot of activities

tends to be a few degree I mean we're

talking now Celsius right even four five

degree celsus warmer than outskirt this

is a phenomenon of urbanization this day

is the obvious effect is actually

concrete retting retaining

Heat this can be Illustrated with a

satellite heat map of Paris the center

of Paris can be as much as 5° C warmer

than the surrounding

Countryside Paris London Beijing

Shanghai you name it New Delhi all of

them absolutely demonstrated the

defs so how is this affected the

official temperature record in the early

part of the 20th century it was normal

to erect weather thers just outside

Towns close enough to check every day

but away from the heat of urban life but

over the 20th century those towns have

expanded suburbs have spread there are

more roads more cars thermometers which

were once outside towns are now

surrounded by shopping malls offices

factories and

houses these towns and all the locations

where thermometers are located on

average they've all grown in population

let's say since 1880 you've got

buildings uh growing up around the

thermometers you've got parking lots so

you've got all of these non-climate

influences which are affecting the

temperatures which raises questions

about the quality of thermometer data

for monitoring global

warming to correct for this Corruption

of the data an obvious solution is to

use only records from rural weather

stations which have been less affected

by Urban Development this has now been

done by a team led by Dr Willam soon we

combine all the best rural station any

anything that we can correct for we

correct for and we show if you just

don't use this the and use only rural

you you get a very different kind of

picture according to rural temperature

records temperatures Rose from the 1880s

but peaked in the

1940s then there was a marked cooling

until the

1970s after that temperatures recover

but are still today barely higher than

they were in the 1940s

what we see is that basically you have a

warming from the 1900 18 you know 50s or

so to 1930s and 40s and started to warm

and then cool in a substantial way to

the ' 70s about 76 or so instead of a

longterm systematic warming Trend it has

a variability multi decade or like every

50 60 years or so kind of a

variation it's not just rural

thermometers that show little warming

mer ships and other Naval vessels have

been measuring the temperature of the

sea since the 19th

century in red we see the land

temperature record since the 1860s which

has been inflated by Urban thermometers

but in blue is the ocean temperature

record from around 1900 the two begin to

diverge ocean records show far less

warming in the 20th century and the

pattern more closely resembles the rural

temperature

record sea is not supposed to be good

and contaminated by Urban heat island

effect am I right yes so when we compare

the two record within the range of

uncertainty these Behavior actually

fits scientists have also studied

temperature change by looking at tree

rings which again shows very little

warming there's a gentle rise till the

mid 20th century but cooling to the

1970s followed by a mild recovery once

again it shows temperatures today are

barely different to those of the 1930s

and 40s and the pattern closely

resembles rural

[Music]

temperatures satellites too seem to be

telling a different

story our ability to measure Global

temperature accurately took a Leap

Forward when satellites began to orbit

the

earth one of the scientists who

pioneered the use of satellites to

measure temperature is Dr Roy Spencer

who in the 1980s was senior scientist

for climate at NASA's Marshall space

flight

center we were discussing over lunch

isn't there some way we can use

satellites to monitor global

temperatures because as you know the

temperature network of thermometers is

pretty skimpy around the world so it's

kind of hard to get a global

temperature Dr Spencer's development of

weather satellites was revolutionary he

and his colleague professor John

Christie have been awarded NASA's medal

for exceptional scientific

achievement our satellite data begins in

January of 197 that's when we have

complete Global coverage uh and we have

it right up to the

present there was one critical question

about temperature that satellites were

singularly well equipped to

answer has there been a spous warming

that has crept into the global

temperature record Overland uh that's

just a result of an increase in

population and that's something that

we've been analyzing and working a lot

on lately and we're finding that

especially in urban areas uh it's large

I mean since 1880 most of the warming it

looks like is due to the urban heat

island effect we're lucky to have a few

independent scientists like John

Christie and Roy Spencer with their

satellite measurements of

temperature you know before they uh

started releasing this groundbased

temperature records were going wild they

were going up you know like crazy with

no no bounds but now they have to

contend with the fact that there's this

independent and probably better way of

measuring the whole globe's temperature

which is not alarming at

all evidence from multiple sources now

agree that the official Global

temperature record as used by World

governments and reported in the world's

media is showing far too much warming

over the last 120 years artificially

inflated by urbanization you look at the

weather balloon record the satellite

record the record the ocean record

doesn't warm nearly as much as land all

of these indications show that the like

the big warming pulse in the record is

the Northern Hemisphere land record and

that's also where most of this data

contamination is happening but of the

mild warming that has taken place in the

last 3 to 400 years can any of it be

attributed to human emissions of

[Music]

CO2

Professor Henrik sansar is visiting the

Hebrew University of Jerusalem and

taking a stroll in the evolution Garden

dedicated to preserving the oldest

surviving plant species on

Earth these plants aren't just pleasing

on the eye they can also tell us about

levels of CO2 in the atmosphere in

Earth's geological

past what we have here is a Ginko tree

and it's actually a living fossil in the

sense that this type of tree H first

appeared about 270 million years ago on

the underside of the leave there are

what we call stomer the cells where they

can uptake CO2 so they actually

measuring how much CO2 is in the air and

then they adjust the number of this stom

to how much CO2 there is and by looking

at fossils and measuring how many there

are at a different time it says

something about what was the level of

CO2 back in

time so when we look back in time what

do we find over almost all of the last

500 million years the level of CO2 in

the atmosphere has been far far higher

than it is now even with modern

industry's contribution to CO2 Levels by

geological standards the level of

atmospheric CO2 today is close to being

as low as it has ever

been at present we have about uh 4 400

parts per million 50 million years ago

it might have been 2,000 parts per

million so a much much higher

concentration of

CO2 I think current estimates of global

CO2 is

423 or so parts per million today if we

look through the furoic the last 550

million years we would see CO2 on the

order of 7,000 parts per million CO2 is

plant food and the result of much higher

levels of atmospheric CO2 in the past

was a much much Greener World periods of

elevated CO2 tend to be time periods of

of of a huge biodiversity on on the

planet in fact we're in a CO2 famine if

we look over the last 550 million

years at the depths of the most recent

glacial maximum the amount of CO2 in the

atmosphere sank so low all life on Earth

came close to extinction they say CO2 is

higher than it's been for 100,000 years

but what they don't tell you in that

period they're talking about is that CO2

sank so low that all life on Earth

nearly died 20,000 years ago CO2 is at

the lowest level it has ever been in the

history of the earth 180 parts per

million if it had gone down another 30

parts per million we'd all be

dead there is a low point of CO2 where

photosynthesis becomes so inefficient

that plant life would die then

everything else starts to perish after

that during the last glacial maximum

there's good evidence that in many parts

of the world there was plant starvation

from not enough CO2 so uh we should be

very grateful that CO2 levels are

beginning to go back up we're still far

from the historical Norms which would be

several thousand parts from a million

there's not enough fossil fuel to get

there but at least we're making a

start but has the small increase in CO2

affected the

temperature we would now show you a

picture of CO2 but we can't because it's

invisible CO2 makes up a tiny fraction

of the gases in the atmosphere just 0.04

of a percent it is just one of 25

different greenhouse gases which taken

as a whole form only one part of Earth's

complex climate system so what evidence

is there that this Trace gas is having

any noticeable impact on the climate

if it were true that higher levels of

CO2 caused higher temperatures we should

be able to see that in Earth's climate

history here scientists are drilling

into ancient ice cores these cores tell

us both about past temperatures and CO2

levels scientists have indeed found a

link between temperature and CO2 the

trouble is it's the wrong way

round so it's true over the last few

million years of the Ice Age that we're

in now that CO2 and temperature are

correlated but if CO2 is the driver it

has to change first and the temperature

has to change second in fact when you

start to look at the data very

specifically you see the exact reverse

temperature starts to rise first and

then on the order of a century to a few

centuries later we start to see a a rise

in CO2 it's long been known that uh the

temperature actually moves first so

temperature goes up CO2 goes up after

that temperature goes down CO2 goes down

ice ages start when carbon dioxide is at

its maximum and Ice Ages end when carbon

dioxide is at its minimum which is the

exact opposite of what would occur if

carbon dioxide was controlling the

temperature the question of whether CO2

drives the climate is easily resolved

you can look back in time over hundreds

of millions of years CO2 levels have

changed radically many times did this

cause temperature change no absolutely

not CO2 has never driven temperature

changes in the past

never nor is it clear in recent times

that CO2 is having any effect on

temperature here we see industrial

output of CO2 since

1750 from the mid 19th century to the

mid 20th century there was only a slight

increase it's not until the 1940s that

industrial production of CO2 begins to

take off but this doesn't match the

temperature record according to rural

thermometers most of the warming in the

past 200 years occurred before the 1940s

and have barely changed since

then one of the embarrassments that ipcc

doesn't like to talk about was that the

1930s when human influences were much

smaller were particularly warm that's

the puzzle that the first early part

where we have such a sharp uh warming

from the 1900 to 1930s and 1940s CO2

could never cause that temperature

rise but the 1930s and early 40s were so

hot it's puzzling

more puzzling still is what happened

next by the end of World War II CO2 was

really going up and yet the temperature

was going down from 40 to 70 while the

CO2 continued to rise this thing started

to cool what happened journalists were

writing about the coming Ice Age it was

on the cover of Time Magazine the 1970s

the new Ice Age was the big story and

how about since the 1970s

according to computer climate models

over the past half century Rising CO2

should have led to this increase in

temperature but according to multiple

satellite and balloon measurements what

actually happened was

this well what we found from the

satellite data is that the global

atmosphere is not warming up as fast as

the climate models say it should be uh

there's a couple dozen climate models

now that have been worked on for decades

you know billions of dollars tens of

billions of dollars have been invested

in these climate modeling efforts and we

find that generally speaking virtually

all of the climate models produce too

much warming over this period since 1979

up to the present now even if we say the

surface thermometers are correct they

still don't produce as much warming as

most of the climate models say there

should have been let's say in the last

50 years the models individually and

even collectively when you average over

all of them in so-called

ensembles they don't get it right you

can already see that the main uh

supports of the climate alarm movement

which are these enormous computer models

they're clearly wrong they they don't

agree with what we observe you they uh

they're all running much too hot they

don't get

the geographical distribution of

temperatures anywhere close they don't

get

Lino Cycles they're just nonsense all

climate models are based on the

assumption that CO2 drives temperature

change but actual observations and

historical evidence clearly suggest that

it

doesn't yes I assert that there is no

connection whatsoever between CO2 and

climate change that's all a Coca crap in

my opinion there is no truth to the idea

that the Earth is warmer now than it it

has been in the past it's a lie there is

no truth that CO2 is higher than it

should be that is a

lie Earth's climate has changed many

times over the course of its long

history and will continue to change

without any help from us climate always

changes you know who denies climate

change it's always

changing but if CO2 doesn't drive

climate change what

does

[Music]

in Earth's atmosphere there are powerful

forces at work and perhaps the most

powerful of all are

clouds CO2 is quite unimportant in

controlling the earth's climate what is

important is clouds clouds don't absorb

any energy at all they simply reflect

all of the sunlight back out into space

big bright wide clouds if you look at

the Earth you see lots and lots of them

and they vary dramatically from one day

to the next that is hundreds of times

more powerful than the trivial effects

of

CO2 but what controls the number and

density of clouds on

Earth Professor Henrik fenmar from the

Danish national space Institute is in

Jerusalem with the astrophysicist near

shiv together they've been exploring

Cloud variation and effect on climate

and strangely they found a link between

clouds and exploding supern noi far off

in our

galaxy when you have big stars they

don't live very long uh I mean

relatively only maybe a few million

years up to 40 million years but they

end their life in a huge explosion which

we call the

Supernova an exploding Supernova sends

out vast quantities of debris tiny

charged subatomic particles known as

cosmic rays traveling almost at the

speed of light and as they hit Earth

they develop into seeds which attract

water vapor and form

clouds Professor shiv noticed that the

amount of cloud cover on Earth is

related to our journey around the Milky

Way as our solar system orbits the

Galaxy over millions of years it passes

through the Galaxy spiral arms dense

clusters of stars as it does we are

exposed to more or less Cloud forming

cosmic rays and this corresponds to

Historic temperature changes on

Earth the really mindboggling thing is

that using geology you can reconstruct

the climates on Earth over the past

billion years and you can reconstruct

our Galactic journey and both tell the

same

story but what about temperature change

on shorter time

scales the sun are source of heat and

light a seething mass of gigantic

Magnetic

storms which vary in strength and number

over time and which affect Earth

directly and

indirectly when it is very active the

sun sends giant gusts of solar wind

through the solar

[Music]

system the solar wind warms us

indirectly by acting is a barrier

limiting the number of cloud forming

cosmic rays reaching

Earth so from the sun we have the solar

wind it carries the sun magnetic field

out to a large distance and it works

like a shield uh against cosmic rays

when the sun is more active you have a

stronger solar wind you have less cosmic

rays reaching the inner solar system and

reaching the atmosphere and the clouds

which are then formed are less white

they reflect less of the sunlight uh

which means that it's going to be warmer

here on

Earth here is a proxy reconstruction of

ocean temperatures over thousands of

years and here is one of solar activity

over the same period what is causing the

ocean temperature to change is clearly

variations in solar

activity because ipcc is determined to

go on a narrative that only CO2 can

drive the climate system they turn of

the sun essentially right because the

sun is just a background thing for them

that it doesn't do

anything astrophysicist willly soon

decided to look again at the rural

temperature record for the past 150

years then he looked at a record of

changes in solar activity over the same

period to Dr soon it was obvious that it

was the Sun not CO2 that was driving

temperature as of

2023 ipcc stes that the Sun have

absolutely zero chance in to explain the

changes of the climate system on Broad

scale let's say global warming or

Northern hemosphere we say no we can

easily demate the sign can explain all

of it there's zero for the CO2 100% for

the sun how's

that why are these and other studies

never reported in the mainstream media

and if climate change is natural what

are we to make of the alleged terrifying

increase in extreme weather events of

the heat waves and hurricanes of forest

fires droughts and the

[Music]

rest my first instinct as a scientist

and what I teach my students is well

let's look at the data and when you do

that you discover as you can read in the

ipcc reports themselves that it's pretty

hard to find Trends in extreme events

much less attribute them to human

influences you've now had Decades of

putting the idea in people's heads that

anytime the weather is bad it's climate

change and greenhouse gases so I think

people at this point can't help

themselves if you have a heat wve

immediately everybody's thinking oh what

have we done to the weather if somebody

says in the news this is the warmest day

since 1980 or something well you can

look up the temperature records and see

for yourself whether it was in fact

warmer in the 1930s as it often

is US temperature records are the best

in the world and here is the official US

Government record of heat waves in the

US over the past

Century it shows very clearly that the

1930s were far more prone to heat waves

than we are

today not only were there more heat

waves in the 1930s the heat waves then

were much hotter than those of

today likewise official figures show

that the number of hot days in the US

has markedly

[Music]

declined United States was much hotter

in the 1930s North Dakota reached

121° um South Dakota was 120° Wisconsin

was

114° these sort of temperatures are just

completely out of range of anything

people experience

now a common mistake is to suppose that

higher average temperature will mean

more hot weather but this isn't true

here again is the central England

temperature record the longest

instrumental temperature record in the

world summer temperatures over the past

3 to 400 years since the end of the

little ice age have barely changed at

all it is winter temperatures that have

been slightly Rising the earth's climate

has not been getting hotter it's been

getting

milder that's certainly being observed

all over the world if you look at

temperature records high temperatures

are almost changed but cold temperatures

at night or during the winter are going

up a little bit not very much but you

can measure it when the average goes up

it's really more due to the coldest

temperatures getting warmer so the

temperatur is getting milder rather than

getting

hotter what about the increasing number

of wildfires we're often told about if

you look at the actual number of forest

fires

from satellite observations the actual

numbers going

down here is an estimate of global

wildfires since 1900 it shows a clear

Decline and here is a record of areas

affected by wildfires in the US it shows

that wildfires were far far worse in the

1930s from 1930s and 1920s when you have

data thing was huge five to 10 times

bigger than the current

level how about hurricans

the US has by far the best record of

hurricane activity in the world over the

past 120 years there is no overall

change in fact the trend is slightly

down when you look at the data for

hurricanes technically tropical Cyclones

you see that there is no long-term

Trend how about the rest of the world

here is a chart of global hurricane

activity over the past 40

years hurricanes have been around

forever you know we've got good proxy

records of hurricanes and uh there's

been no change in their frequency even

the ipcc admits that how about melting

ice caps and drought here's a satellite

record of temperature in Antarctica

since the late 1970s it shows no

increase

whatsoever and here is a record of

global drought since 1950 there is no

observable increase at

all

polar bears are meant to be going

extinct but studies suggest their

numbers are

growing the Great Barrier Reef too has

recently reached record

levels there's no such thing as a

climate emergency happening on this

planet now it's there's no no evidence

of one yeah the extreme weather event

story is is just absurd there there's no

basis to it at all it's just based on

propaganda the actual data shows the

opposite I've shown you the official

data

the official science tell me what I'm

denying the climate alarm is nonsense

you know it's it's a hoax as as I I

don't I've never liked hoax I I think

scam is a better word but I'm willing to

live with

hoax but why are we told again and again

that man-made climate chaos is an

Undisputed scientific fact Beyond

question Beyond doubt to answer this we

must examine the so-called consensus on

climate

change thank you very much until the

1980s global warming was little more

than an eccentric scare story put out by

radical

environmentalists but then the cause was

picked up by an ambitious young Senator

Al Gore who would soon become vice

president a billion dollars a year of

public money was made available for

Research into climate change this

quickly Rose to 2 billion up to that

level academic researchers in various

disciplin began to apply for this

climate

[Music]

funding if you want to qualify for money

that's labeled climate well you take

whatever you're doing and you add a

little bit uh of climate speak to it and

Away you go you're dealing with the

sexual habits of cockroaches you'll add

and the in impact of climate so all I

have to do is add a little wrinkle to my

Grant application to explain how well

I'm worried that climate change will

mean the death of all the maple trees

and so right away you qualify for

funding academics of every kind lined up

for climate funding climate became an

exciting new area of interest for

sociologists biologists professors of

English literature lecturers in gender

studies and many more and it also serve

to create a community I mean you know

you've become a climate science I now

even though you know nothing about the

physics of climate thousands of papers

were published on climate change in

prostitution climate change in beer

climate change in the Black Death

climate change in disability climate

change in video games and everything

else imaginable there's an almost

comical list of studies out there just

do a Google search on climate change and

and and everything comes up few of these

papers ever questioned whether climate

change was

true after you've done the research and

you write the paper up sometimes you

find there's no effect at all from

climate but you still have to say in

your papers oh yes climate change is

real and uh we just need to study this

some more since so few of these

so-called climate studies challenged the

idea of climate change it was declared

that there was a scientific consensus

climate change must be

true climate also became a new Focus for

govern government funded research

bodies scientific research in the United

States tends to be dominantly funded by

government

grants uh and so whatever government

grants are offered uh sort of determine

much of the science being done it was

during the Cold War that many Government

research bodies were set

up but the end of the Cold War and

pressure on government spending has left

many of them struggling to justify their

continued

funding United States Congress only

funds problems okay Research into

problems whether it's money that goes to

NASA or Noah or National Science

Foundation or Department of energy or

any other alphabet suit you know

organization it's always been a problem

to support uh your research or your

existence raise on

Detra and so climate was a godsend if

Congress is willing to pay you to find

evidence

of global warming by golly as a

scientist we're going to go find

evidence of it because that's what what

we're being paid to do and guess what if

you don't find evidence or say the

evidence suggests it's not a problem

your funding ends this totally corrupts

the way we look at the science who was

the famous gangster asked why do you rob

banks and he said well cuz that's where

the money

is the climate alarm brought funds and

the bigger the supposed threat the more

funds seem to flow the publicly funded

science establishment now had a direct

financial interest in playing up the

alarm so there's a huge incentive to OV

exaggerate or to speak in hyperboy even

if the data doesn't support exactly what

you're saying because that's what brings

the

funds I was in that boat I was someone

that was defending climate change as a

grad student quite a bit because the is

I didn't give it too much thought but I

I thought well it's getting a ton of

attention it brings a ton of money into

the Earth Sciences even if I don't buy

all the hyperbole what's the

problem by the late 1990s what had

started as an environmental scare story

was gaining

[Music]

momentum Western governments and their

senior civil servants were more than

willing to address the climate problem

problem green taxes were levied green

regulation expanded and this in turn

generated more climate related jobs and

activity take the banking sector for

instance you say to a banker we want you

to file reports with the the Regulatory

Commission on how climate change is

going to affect your bank well a banker

doesn't know anything about this subject

so then they have to commission studies

from

academics and of course the academics

are happy to come and tell them well

it's going to be terrible for your bank

it's going to cause all kinds of

problems and you get you need to give us

money to research this green subsidies

and regulation meant there was now money

to be made in climate Renewables firms

sprouted consultancy firms offered

advice on what they called

sustainability and climate compliance

it's a wonderful business opportunity

okay you want climate we'll give you

climate the Renewables industry alone

now turns over a trillion dollar a year

and that's expected to double in the

next few

years what used to be a cottage industry

has is now blossomed to become a major

part of the world

economy the growth of this climate

industry has seen an explosion of highly

paid green jobs Chief sustainability

officers carbon offset advisers ESG

Consultants climate compliance lawyers

and countless

others students started to come into our

departments as Earth science departments

with a focus on climate that never

happened before but they started to look

at their career prospects and they were

smart and they were looking at who's

hiring and the fact of the matter was is

that everything in the hiring pool had

climate somewhere attached to the name I

started a few years ago seeing programs

like uh a master's degree in climate

finance and I just what on Earth is is

climate I understand what a master's

degree in finance is well now you need a

university that's going to teach this

program you need professors of climate

Finance every single school or

University or business will have a

climate officer or climate officers and

a climate program and you look at any of

these institutions or businesses you

will find they all are signed up to it

and anyone who hasn't signed up will

come under

[Music]

pressure at the last Gathering of the

publicly funded un's PCC 70,000

delegates flew in from around the world

government bureaucrats green NOS carbon

sequestration Consultants environmental

journalists heads of Renewables

companies but this is just the tip of

the iceberg many hundreds of thousands

of jobs worldwide now depend on the

climate crisis you start building this

enormous population whose job is to

manage the crisis and um and

also uh explicitly to make sure that

people are alarmed about the crisis

because this whole industry depends on

the existence of the

crisis but therein lies the one great

threat to this multi-trillion dollar

industry all the jobs all of the funding

are totally dependent on there being a

climate

crisis if CO2 isn't having the huge

negative impacts that we claimed it was

having originally how how are we going

to stay in business how do we justify

our existence if climate change isn't

this existential threat that we claimed

it was over the last four decades or so

people like me our careers depend on

funding of climate research this is what

I've been doing just about my whole

career this is what the other climate

researchers are doing with their whole

career they don't want this to end if

NASA said global warming is not a

problem where does their funding

disappears right um um so they can't say

that I mean you've got the United

Nations intergovernmental panel for

climate change if they said the climate

isn't changing they'd have no reason to

exist the ipcc has a self-preservation

instinct to show that climate change is

an existential threat otherwise there's

no reason for them to be collecting the

money and doing the work in the first

place there are not just now billions

but there are trillions of dollars at

stake there's a huge amount of money

involved this is a huge big money scam a

lot of people's livelihoods depend on it

they're not going to give that up if

suddenly the notion becomes apparent

that this is not such a problem um

you're going to see that as an

existential

threat scientists who studied the

natural causes of climate change began

to be viewed with suspicion as two

Harvard astrophysicists discovered how

much does the Sun change and how does it

change and why does it change and then

we didn't even want to get into the

temperature record climate thing

immediately they will come after because

when we started to estimate that the sun

Changed by quite you know significantly

in terms of climatic sense immediately

the attack is there because it's not

following the narrative because they

need the CO2 to be the only one the only

dominant player when you tried to say

well you were just looking for the

background of natural variability

we C the response would be we can't have

natural changes as an effect it has to

be human

caused and some of that was directly

stated but most of it was indirect your

funding for this kind of project will be

dropped this kind of project doesn't go

anywhere by that time anything that

contradicted The

Narrative of global warming as a serious

ious

problem was not going to get

funded editors of academic journals came

under pressure not to accept papers

which were deemed to be skeptical of the

climate crisis we will not publish

anything that questions

this I mean it's not something

surreptitious scientists who dared to

point out in public that there was no

climate chaos began to be sidelined and

shunned if a scientifically qualified

person stands up and says uh we don't

see an upward Trend in the data on

Pacific

typhoons um well suddenly they lose

standing to address the topic of Pacific

typhoons not because what they said is

wrong but because it's off message they

can marginalize any kind of criticism of

the narrative by saying you're not

qualified to talk about this because you

don't support the narrative that is then

and then having marginalized everyone

who doesn't support the narrative they

can turn around and say well everybody

who counts supports the narrative so we

must be

right environmental journalists ignored

Skeptics and instead offered headlines

to anyone prepared to make the most

outrageous claims and predictions about

a climate

apocalypse it's gotten to where it has

nothing to do with the science anymore

it doesn't matter if your alarmist

prediction doesn't come true you're

still going to retain your status as an

expert and the media is still going to

come and ask you for your opinion even

though you were crazy wrong about your

[Music]

predictions but the consensus on climate

is not only enforced by those in the

climate

industry to explain the broader appeal

of the climate alarm we must look at the

politics behind

[Music]

climate from the start the climate scare

was political it came from the

environmental movement the sworn enemy

of free market industrial

capitalism finally we've got them we can

claim that it is the free markets who

are destroying the planet and we need

big government to save

us the climate problem it is said stems

from the irresponsible actions of greedy

feckless individuals who have too many

babies and drive too much and consume

too many products and of the capitalist

corporations who Pander to their whims

the solution is for government to have

greater power to regulate private

companies but also to guide and reshape

the lives and habits of

individuals policy agenda has sprawled

into micromanaging everybody's lives on

the most minute detail of what kind of

stove you can use what kind of heater

you can have how much you can set the

thermostat out where you can drive what

kind of car you can't according to the

the planners we're not going to have

internal combustion engines an hour from

now all of these things require the

government to get involved right because

the government has to sort of force

changes upon the public if it was up to

the public we wouldn't be buying

electric vehicles because you know

they're

impractical support for the climate

alarm is now virtually synonymous with

disdain for free market capitalism and a

yearning for bigger government it's

liberals versus conservatives in theit

United States and generally speaking

Liberals are worried that we're

destroying the planet and they're also

of course for big government and then

conservatives are are at the other end

of the spectrum where they a lot of them

don't believe that we're destroying the

planet and they don't want government

involved in their personal

lives paying lip service to The Climate

alarm has become almost Universal among

those who depend on government for their

livelihoods this includes those in the

publicly funded education art and

science establishments Tony hel recalls

his time at Los Alamos

labs the entire County of Los alos was

kept going by government money that we

we had the highest incomes in the state

so naturally people who lived in Los Al

supported big government because that

was where their livelihood came from

that was where their good schools came

from you know everything good and Los

alos came from the government so of

course they were all Believers in big

governments among the largely publicly

funded Western intelligencia support for

more government spending and regulation

is almost a defining moral

badge in these circles to question the

climate alarm is socially unacceptable

to be a climate skeptic is

taboo somebody that goes against it that

it really does get met with a lot of

anger and vitriol you know you're called

a denier a science denier and a heretic

your colleagues won't engage with you

anymore uh you don't get invited to

conferences your students uh May desert

you uh this is all really

terrible professors Henrik svensmark and

ni shiv describe what happened when they

published their results on the climatic

effects of solar

activity it was like all Hill had broken

loose because of this work I had no idea

that the things would escalate as they

did and it completely changed my life

once we said that uh people didn't like

hearing it and we became a persona

non I mean I have so many instances of

people doing really uh nasty things

uh when I applied for for a job uh a

group of scientists writes to the

University say they shouldn't hire

me and that's a typical story

uh

unfortunately if you don't agree with a

standard pmic you become an outcast

you're

shun as if you have

leprosy for Professor Sally balunas the

personal attacks became too

much I retired early

and my family said I should have retired

even sooner years sooner so they noticed

the toll or took a toll on them and

me Dr Matthew wicki was an assistant

professor of geology at the University

of Alabama when he decided to speak out

about the climate scare as a result of

the backlash he has decided to leave

teaching to speak up about climate

change in any sort of skeptical way was

essentially career suicide absolutely

there was no possible way that I would

publish in quite a few of the mainstream

journals that I was required to publish

in I essentially isolated myself from

many of the funding institutions this is

one of the reasons you can build a

consensus in a community is because

anybody who is skeptical of that

consensus essentially gets kicked out of

the community speaking out um

in scientific ways that go contrary to

the consensus I would say as a career

killer for people at the early stage of

their careers if I were 30 years old in

a university trying to make a career I I

would certainly keep my mouth shut and

in fact I I went to some effort to keep

my mouth shut when I was younger I I

knew climate was nonsense then but I was

a little bit careful if a young person

person is questioning this they can't

put that in a proposal The Proposal will

be

denied and they can't effectively

publish because the gatekeeper will keep

them out and so it would end their

career you have to go along with with

the global warming story if you don't

you're going to get cut off you're going

to lose funding you're going to get your

career ruined you're going to be trashed

by the community you'll be despised by

your

co-workers the so-called consensus on

climate has itself become a weapon a

form of bullying intimidation and

censorship used against those who refuse

to conform it's a it's a tool that

people use to bludge in their opponents

and the Skeptics and to attack their

character according to its critics far

from being scientific the militant

intolerant climate consensus represents

a devastating assault on free scientific

inquiry I see my job as a scientist as

just laying out the facts and letting

people decide what they want to do when

you can't talk about the facts uh Things

become corrupt if you shut the door on

ideas if you say you're not allowed to

test it you're not allowed to have that

idea you've left the realm of

science I don't think climate

researchers will ever back down from

their claim that increasing CO2 is the

control knob on today's climate system I

I don't think they will ever back down

from that no matter what the evidence is

it's clear it's now a

cult uh that completely divorced from

science but the Apparently Unstoppable

climate scare does not just represent an

attack on science it is starting to

shape for a new kind of

society environmentalists like to pose

as anti-establishment but their demands

are well received and piously echoed by

King Charles and the Archbishop of

Canterbury the BBC the UN the EU by

heads of government the World Bank and

World economic Forum in fact by the

entire state-funded ruling

establishment

global warming is like the perfect

problem that government can get involved

in to grow the influence of government

it's a wonderful way to uh increase

government power and uh if there's an

existential threat out there that's

worldwide well you need a powerful

worldwide government you know to cope

with it if you're a climate activist

you're actually

facilitating a huge uh uh validation of

the government running our Lives Many

environmentalists most environmental all

environmentalists who consider

themselves to be radical Progressive

alternatives are in fact simply

reinforcing the mantras and the

mainstream arguments of the entire

establishment the demands on the

government mean that the government

suddenly gains the authority to

interfere into every knok and cranny of

our lives and how we live everything has

a climate narrative attached to it how

much you consume where you spend your

money how much you travel who you

interact with what types of food you eat

whether you eat meat everything has some

sort of aspect that can be controlled

with a climate lens suppose 20 years ago

somebody had hatched the idea that I

would really like to ban cheap energy

I'd really like to control everybody's

Appliance purchases I'd really like to

tell everybody where they can go and

basically I'd like to have dictatorial

control over everything well it's not

going to fly no everybody would think

you're a nut and would ignore you but

fast forward 20 years that's what's

happening the publicly funded

establishment in the west is so large

and Powerful it is able to impose and

enforce the official consensus on

climate through its control of schools

universities government and much of the

media State broadcasters like the BBC

exclud include climate Skeptics

broadcasting regulatory bodies forbid

private stations from disseminating

skeptical views threatening them with

having their broadcasting licenses

revoked what normally happens in an

emergency is that all normal forms of

openness and democracy have to be

suppressed because how else to deal with

an emergency so we are facing a

situation not unlike lockdown where

basically all normal forms of behavior

normal forms of social communication and

so normal forms of democracy are

essentially ruled

out activists are even calling for any

skepticism to be

criminalized in certain jobs and

professions it is now dangerous to

express dissent on climate it's no

surprise that people uh who are more

skeptical will think twice before uh

voicing their concerns because they

might risk their careers they might risk

their business they might risk being

sacked if you're a professional of any

kind in science or law or medicine if

you belong to a professional association

or you are in a

university uh you can be fired for

saying what you believe the consequence

is a censorious authoritarian regime

that has to control every move every

word everything you want to do because

everything you do is a potential risk to

the survival of

[Music]

mankind climate protesters condemn

capitalism but at their anti- capitalist

rallies it's hard to spot anyone who

looks like a worker like a Docker or

crane driver or steel worker or a

beautician or a trucker

the workers it appears are totally

absent from these rallies and for very

good reason today's climate alarmists

complain not that capitalism isn't

producing enough but that it's producing

too

much the modern capitalist system has

led to Prosperity more and more people

have more and more things the modern

anti- capitalism of the present time is

a critique of capitalism that it gives

us too much they think that the problem

with capitalism now it's actually that

it's giving out too many rewards on mass

to ordinary workers and what they want

Instead This is often very explicit

actually is a much more austere simple

kind of Lifestyle in which the mass

consumption the consumption choices of

the great bulk of the population are

controlled or even prohibited you have

to consume less you have to uh holiday

less you have to drive less you have to

eat less and so

on it seems that what upsets many

environmentalists is not the failure but

rather the success of capitalism in

producing an abundance of affordable

Goods for the

masses ordinary working people for once

we've arrived at a point in history in

the Western World at least where Mass

manufacturers has allowed them cheap

clothes cheap food cheap furniture

therefore you get a clash when affluent

environmentalist

Express their disdain for Mass

consumption people going on those big

huge cruise ships it's like thousands of

it's like what are they doing oh my God

there's all those Cru like ruining

Venice you know ruining all our Beau we

own them don't we they're not what what

are they going there for what you have

here is a classic example of class

hypocrisy and self-interest masquerading

as public spirited concern you could

take these kind of green social this

much more seriously if they lived off

grid they cut their own consumption down

to the minimum they never flew instead

you get constant talk about how human

consumption is destroying the planet but

the people making all this talk show

absolutely no signs of reducing their

own what environmentalists call degrowth

is being achieved by the trashing of our

conventional energy and Transport

Systems and the forced introduction of

expensive and unreliable

Alternatives already this is happen

having the desired effect on Industrial

manufacturing which is straining under

the burden of punitive green taxes and

Regulation and higher energy

prices the people behind the climate

alarm couldn't give a damn about

manufacturing they have nothing to do

with it they don't know people who work

in manufacturing whose jobs and lives

depend on it they're not excited by

industry or industrial progress they

explicitly want to shut it

[Music]

down

Ki Kenya East

Africa according to many leading

environmentalists the world's poorest

people should not aspire to the

lifestyle of people in the first world

the planet will not

cope Grace Nando is one of the many

Africans who do not have electricity or

gas to cook with or heat their

homes the resulting indoor smoke from

burning wood and dried dung is the

deadliest form of pollution in the world

for Millions the cause of lung disease

blindness and early

death it's not just cheap reliable

electricity that Africa needs

agricultural productivity here is

incredibly low increasing it takes

fossil fuels to make fertilizer and

drive tractors and other farm

machinery jper mogu is a

farmer each and every African wants to

develop and increasing improving

agriculture is one of the easiest ways

to do that agriculture is tightly tied

to fossil fuels Fosso fuels that the

Western nations are saying we should not

have access to

around a third of the food produced in

Africa rots before it ever reaches the

mouths of consumers to prevent this

terrible waste Africa needs plastic

packaging refrigerated lorries and good

roads all are opposed by Western

environmentalists all come with

Industrial Development all rely on

affordable fossil fuel

energy diar from drinking dirty water

still kills hundreds of thousands of

African children but clean water water

requires large industrial water

purification plants and a modern water

supply network and this will come only

with cheap energy I think it's pretty

obvious that the West has got what it

has because of fossil fuels when people

say Africa doesn't need fossil fuels I

wonder I don't think they want what's

best for us they don't want us to

develop and that means we continue being

starving we continue being uh poor

most people don't know what climate

change is they don't care they just they

want food on their table they want to

beat poverty they want to beat Hunger

they need money to better their lives

they want to flourish that's just

it when they use the word sustainable

development they're talking about no

development exactly I mean it's the

point is that you know to develop

sustainably means not to use too much

energy not to use too much carbon you

know Net Zero the idea that you mustn't

use too many resources the you mustn't

produce enough consumer goods because

consumption is bad so ultimately you

know the idea of development is out the

window the greens think the Africans

should never use their resources the way

the Europeans or the Americans or the

Canadians or the Australians have used

theirs they are also in favor of

punitive taxes border taxes on any

African country that wants to export

their Goods to Europe if they do use

their resource so that sums up the

ethical

ruthlessness and and depravity of the

green

agenda the climate alarmists have a

problem many countries in Africa and

across Asia are simply ignoring the

environmentalist demands of Western

governments and international agencies

communist China is estimated to be

building an average of two new coal

power plants a week China now uses more

coal than the rest of the world

combined which is one of the reasons why

this whole climate agenda is falling

apart because the rest of the world is

not cutting emissions is not moving to

Renewables in the West too for many

people climate alarmism is wearing

thin Ordinary People are not stupid they

have seen one ridiculous claim after

another fail over and over what this

does is leave people with a profound and

Justified cynicism about what the

scientific establishment says and about

what the government

says to fix the climate crisis we're

told we must give up our

cars we must pay more for fuel heating

clothes food fly less limit where we go

this attack on mass travel Mass tourism

Mass consumption holds little appeal to

the

masses people have started to realize

it's going to cost them a lot of money

to Simply live the lives that they were

leading that they want to lead and as

soon as that started to happen I could

see people in the United Kingdom who had

previously been indifferent to

environmentalism soly think how dare

they do that right how dare they try and

take away what we consider to be not

luxuries but Necessities the whole

policy of sustainability is about

restraint it's about restriction it's

about doing less um and that obviously

for most people is anathema to their

everyday needs the fact that there is

actually an ideological movement of

people who think that cheap mass

production of whether it's houses or

anything else is a problem I mean for

God's sake no wonder people become uh

disdainful of the kind of middle class

Outlook of environmentalism but that is

lit what people say how can we stop

people buying cheap things in

shops when climate protesters climbed

onto an underground train in London's

East End they were not cheered on by

working commuters they were held abuse

pelted angrily dragged off the train and

received rough treatment on the
