Respect to you, Patrick. You demonstrated your environmental concerns courageously in the early days of Greenpeace. That adds to your credibility as a courageous critic of current environmental concerns. I hope that many people will follow the plain and simple evidence in your excellent presentation and put some common sense back into environmental management. The global warming/CO2 gravy train, not just for scientists but for publishers, journalists, businesses, and politicians, has been rumbling on with all criticism marginalized for too long. Real science is objective and debatable, not a moral commandment promulgated by folk who earn richly by scaring us.
You gobble up his plastic story ? You should do some research about what kind of plastic ends up in the ocean and what happens to it when exposed to UVs, sea salt and friction. Weedkiller incident ? "Glyphosate is so safe I could drink a qaurt of it". He blatantly lies or misinform with his temperature graphs. That guy has lost complete credibility. He is now a PR guy for the worst industries.
@@philippesarrazin2752 Yes, I "gobbled up" Moore's presentation. Also, last night, 'Have you ever seen a lithium mine?" by Scott Tinker because of his refreshingly balanced view of energy production globally and his excellent presentation too. Concerning plastics, my view is that they do not belong in the sea whether anyone thinks it's a global problem or not; at best it's just bad housekeeping. Leatherback turtles, an endangered species, eat plastic bags in mistake for their usual prey, jelly fish. And jelly fish definitely are a global problem, in my opinion, because they are indiscriminate predators that fill the gap made by globally fishing down predatory fish, like tuna and cod, and, since jellyfish eat fish larvae as well as adults, they prevent or slow the re-emergence of the fish stocks cut back by fishing. Look up 'Trophic cascades' if you are interested, for example Georgi Daskalov's study of the degradation of the Black Sea to jelly fish domination in the Proc. Nat. Acad of Sciences v104, pp 10518 - 10523. The same could be happening in our oceans. If you have evidence about plastics in the sea, please tell us. Discussions on RUclips seem to be the best way to inform ourselves these days. The IPCC (on climate) and the INC (on plastics in the oceans) are inter-governmental committees that appear to be more focussed on money (the Climate Finance Fund, and the Plastics industry, respectively) than on their respective subject areas.
It is not just visible plastic. "we wrap our food in it ..." Sure ! ALl kinf of plastic ends up in the ocean. Not just the food grade ones. ANd they will all degrade. Visible plastic may be the least harmful ones ! They will all degrade into tiny particles and toxic additives entering the food chain. Chemical Exposure Toxic Substance Accumulation: Leaching of Additives: Plastics often contain additives like bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and flame retardants, which can leach into the tissues of animals upon ingestion, disrupting endocrine functions. Adsorption of Pollutants: Plastics can absorb harmful pollutants from seawater, including heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like PCBs and DDT. When ingested, these toxins can accumulate in the animal's body. Biological Effects: Hormonal Disruptions: Chemicals from plastics can interfere with hormone regulation, affecting growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Immune System Suppression: Exposure to toxic substances can weaken the immune response, making animals more susceptible to diseases and infections. Reproductive Issues: Toxins can lead to reduced fertility, developmental abnormalities in offspring, and altered sex ratios in populations. Microplastics and Nanoplastics Cellular and Tissue Damage: Inflammation and Stress: Microplastics (less than 5 mm) and nanoplastics (less than 100 nm) can cause inflammation and oxidative stress at the cellular level when ingested or inhaled. Tissue Accumulation: These tiny particles can accumulate in organs such as the liver, kidneys, and even cross into the bloodstream, potentially causing long-term health effects. Disruption of Feeding Mechanisms: Filter Feeders Affected: Organisms like mussels, oysters, and zooplankton can ingest microplastics, which may clog feeding apparatuses or reduce feeding efficiency, impacting growth and reproduction.

And there ain't no trees out there on the prairies. Yep, when I see cows, I see steak and fertilizer (and a host of other products). Cheers to you for keeping it going. Grasslands evolved to be grazed, and if they're not, they degrade into desert. U of Arizona did an interesting study on desert tortoises. The common wisdom is that cows were killing them and needed to be removed. That was done, and a lot of tortoises starved to death. Why? Because they don't eat plants, they eat dung. Cows replaced bison in the ecosystem, pretty much one for one. (Actually, there were probably more bison.) They are, in fact, necessary for the health of the system.
@@Reziac and peterdreyer5954 Thanks for your insights! I have heard our food is deficient in magnesium because these corporations use artificial fertilizer which binds to magnesium and prevents it uptake into the plant. If Big Food started farming regeneratively, replenishing the soil with manure we wouldn't have such a metabolic health epidemic.

The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature. It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth. A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate. Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.) ‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars. If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit. If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'. If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.

Britain has a new nuclear power station being built called Hinkley C. It is years behind schedule and costs have risen from £24 billion to £48 billion.

What about the obsession regarding electric cars and the significant hazards of the lithium batteries used as their source of power? Lithium fires are escalating and emit highly toxic smoke, gasses, fumes, and particulates.
ICE cars burst into flames far more often than EVs do. Data from the National Transportation Safety Board shows that EVs are involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold. Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles are involved in fires for every 100,000 sold. Other studies from Europe agree with the NTSB's findings.
When you calculated the environmental damages EV batteries cause, did you compare them to the damage caused by drilling, mining, fracking, methane burn-offs, oil spills, fires, explosions, the transporting of oil over thousands of miles of pipeline and via tens of thousands of tanker trucks and trains, the sprawling refineries and the dangerous benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene they spew; the oil pits that kill more birds than wind turbines, the hydrogen sulfide, benzene, naphthalene and C02 produced when oil is burned, the carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, unburned hydrocarbons and C02 when gasoline is burned? Did you calculate the cost of accelerating sea level rise, from the melting of ice sheets, caused by the C02-driven warming? How about the increase in category 4 and 5 hurricanes? The extreme precipitation events? The increase in droughts and wildfires?

The catastrophe with GMO's is called Glyphosate, which is a systemic herbicide which has been shown to result in Non-Hoskins Lymphoma for high exposures (farmers) and Parkinson's disease potential for low exposure people.

Moore is indeed a liar. For years he has been saying there is no relation between co2 and temperature over the last 500 million years. But there is a relation between co2 and temperature if 2 other parameters are taken into account : the shape and distribution of the continents ( possibility to form ice caps at the poles) and the power of the sun which increases by 1% per 100 million years. I’m sure he knows that, but he is paid to say there is no correlation ! If the earth was not an ice ball 500 million years ago or more despite a much colder sun, this is because there was 10 or 20 times more co2. The couple of times when earth almost turned entirely into an ice ball it was because co2 dropped too low and could not balance a weak sun.

While Patrick Moore helped to stop the industrial whale fishing successfully, it should now focus on the smallest creatures: krill. Huge trawlers fish out krill by the millions of tons.

Dr. Moore. Regarding your presentation at around the 26 minute mark where you stated: ''They always show the picture in the bottom right when they show you arctic ice". I don't know who 'they' are, but I know that satellite data since the 1990's has been compiled, and is easily accessed with a 2 minute google search. These data clearly show, with periodic time lapses, how much ice has been lost to this day and it is substantial! It was at this point in your video that I clicked away.
@@youtubeyoutube936 It doesn't matter that the Earth has been warmer in the past due to natural climate drivers because this time around, we know that our emissions caused ~98% of all warming since 1900, we are currently warming the planet ~20 times faster than it usually warms when coming out of an ice age, and such rapid warming and increased in CO2 levels cause the whole web of life to unravel. The science of this is much scarier than most people realize.
That same satellite research, extended out further back to 1980s found 98%+ correlation between *solar activity, global cloud cover and (real) surface temperatures.* There was no signal found correlating to linear increase in CO2, which we already KNEW does not exist.

Well done Dr. Moore for pointing out that nuclear power is the safest answer to our energy problems. Compared with coal-mining, it has killed a negligible number of people, and could meet our entire base-load demand if politicians bit the bullet and were willing to make long-term investments.
"Well done Dr. Moore for pointing out that nuclear power is the safest answer to our energy problems." But that's not true. We are heading toward worsening ecological and societal collapse, and the last thing we want when many societies and their power supplies collapse are hundreds of operating nuclear stations that will then head into meltdown.
Since Australia has the largest uranium deposits, they should build all the nuclear plants there, then use super lasers to bounce power off the moon, into gigantic lithium battery banks powering enormous compressed air turbines to supply base load grid power to the massive AI blade warehouses, burning TW's of power chasing the last BTC in existence. *The point being this is NOT a technological issue, it's a economic perpetual war issue.*

"Climate changes across the last 24,000 years provide key insights into Earth system responses to external forcing. Climate model simulations and proxy data have independently allowed for study of this crucial interval; however, they have at times yielded disparate conclusions. Here, we leverage both types of information using paleoclimate data assimilation to produce the first observationally constrained, full-field reanalysis of surface temperature change spanning the Last Glacial Maximum to present. We demonstrate that temperature variability across the last 24 kyr was linked to two modes: radiative forcing from ice sheets and greenhouse gases; and a superposition of changes in thermohaline circulation and seasonal insolation. In contrast with previous proxy-based reconstructions our reanalysis results show that global mean temperatures warmed between the early and middle Holocene and were stable thereafter. When compared with recent temperature changes, our reanalysis indicates that both the rate and magnitude of modern observed warming are unprecedented relative to the changes of the last 24 kyr".

It helps his image if you don't know him well. Moore is a greenwashing, PR spokesman for polluting industries, paid to make them look good even when they do bad things.

This comment was censored on Sabine Hossenfelder's channel. This is a test to see if Google deletes it. I think he's saying, it's impossible to debunk brain washing. Once smart people are fooled, they become trapped in the Overton Window for the group they livet in. There's a near insurmountable 'wall' between AGW skeptics and believers. Truth is, there's no 'proof' CO2 released by man has a significant effect on climate. Climate Change 'science' assumes AGW is true, and its believers focus on proving skeptics wrong, NOT understanding their arguments, which makes it impossible to include them in models. The predictions of various climate models looks like a fan, and they all require constant adjustments to track climate data as it accumulates. That doesn’t sound ‘settled’ in any way shape or form. The assumption that green energy causes no or minimal environmental damage is naive. Referring to the space under windmills as bird cemeteries, highlights this point. And it's a no brainer that covering large areas with solar panels will have harmful effects, as will 150db shock waves from pounding in windmill farms. Environmental Science is extremely complex. denigrating and excluding skeptics is destructive and guarantees faulty conclusions.

Sea level has risen four inches since 1993, and its rate of rise has doubled, according to NASA. As a result, the Maldives have lost 95% of their fresh drinking water resources, due specifically to salt water overwash and infiltration. But no climate scientist ever said those islands would be underwater now. Some scientists predicted some of the islands would be submerged by 2100. The Maldives, in fact, spend half their national budget on climate change and holding back the rising tide. Most notable is their dredging of the sea floor to bring sediment to the beaches to build them up higher. Over fifty of the islands have reclaimed land from the ocean this way. Reclaiming land and delaying inundation for some future year does not mean sea level rise is nonexistent. Cities, towns and states all over the world are currently emptying their coffers to figure out ways to stop the tide from rising. New York and Louisiana, for example, already have a combined $100 billion in new flood mitigation projects in the works. Miami Beach has raised 105 miles of roads by two feet. In January, Maine suffered a record high tide that caused $100 million in damages. Odisha state in India reports losing no less than 16 coastal villages to the sea. This isn't in someone's imagination. It's really happening and will only get worse going forward.
"Every plant needs CO2." And? What climate scientist anywhere on the planet is calling for an end to CO2? NONE. NADA. ZILCH. Everyone all the way down to elementary school knows CO2 is good for plants, which is why there are no plans to eliminate it. We're unable to do that anyway. It's important to remember that CO2 is only good for plants up to a point. We've passed that point, with plants only absorbing a fraction of our emissions now and leaving the rest to accumulate in the atmosphere. . The dose is the poison. While CO2 helps plants grow more lush, the warming that accompanies rising CO2 cancels out those benefits by increasing crop-decimating heatwaves, droughts, extreme precipitation events and wildfires. Rising CO2 also increases lushness by increasing sugar content and, in crops that we eat, diminishing zinc, iron and protein content, making them far less nutritious. It's not nearly as simple as fossil fuel industry propaganda would have us believe.

@@Dan-mm1yl That's a pretty lame answer, Dan. Your house is falling apart but why make repairs because, you know, "nothing stays the same?" Here is my response to that: WE are causing the deleterious changes with our emissions. Those changes will cost the world trillions annually in damages going forward. We are in complete control of our emissions and therefore the damages that will accrue. All studies to date establish clearly that reducing our emissions and switching energy sources will be far cheaper than continously repairing climate change damage every year. Why the defeatist attitude?
Patrick Moore isn't a climate scientist. He's a greenwashing PR shill for big industry. He's the former head of the CO2 Coalition, for example, which received millions from the oil industry to promote the use of more gas and oil. Not a single scientific institution anywhere on earth agrees with him that today's climate change is natural and good for us. Exactly the opposite. So we can trust the 99.9% consensus of publishing scientists who actually work in the field or we can trust a man who gets paid big bucks to make industry look good. What do you think?
Truly critical lies and ignorance. Moore is indeed a liar. For years he has been saying there is no relation between co2 and temperature over the last 500 million years. But there is a relation between co2 and temperature if 2 other parameters are taken into account : the shape and distribution of the continents ( possibility to form ice caps at the poles) and the power of the sun which increases by 1% per 100 million years. I’m sure he knows that, but he is paid to say there is no correlation ! If the earth was not an ice ball 500 million years ago or more despite a much colder sun, this is because there was 10 or 20 times more co2. The couple of times when earth almost turned entirely into an ice ball it was because co2 dropped too low and could not balance a weak sun.
"plastic is great for marine wild life" ...😂 Should I mention the weed killer incident ? 9:47 The usual load of denial and misleading information from Moore and other deniers. Moore shows the evolution of global temperature and co2 concentration over the last 500 million years, and concludes : "there is no correlation, or maybe an inverse correlation" To use this graph and conclude this way is either a sign of total incompetence or a will to mislead. It is indeed quite ironic that for once deniers do not mention the sun. The sun is a simple star whose evolution is known.

"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Apparently you haven't seen NASA's follow-up satellite survey, which found that most of the greening has been due to massive new tree plantings (billions) and intense agricultural turnover in China and India. See HUMAN ACTIVITY IN CHINA AND INDIA DOMINATES THE GREENING OF THE EARTH, at the NASA website.

@@miked5106 Sea level has risen four inches since 1993, and its rate of rise has DOUBLED, according to NASA. (See NASA SEA LEVEL) According to NOAA, high tide flooding along the American south and Gulf coasts has increased an astonishing 400% and 1100% since the year 2000. (See NOAA HIGH TIDE FLOODING). Louisiana has already lost over 8800 acres to permanent inundation in its Lower Breton Sound area, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It's why that state has a new $50 billion-dollar flood mitigation project in the works. So does New York, with its borough of Queens flooding on a regular basis. In January, Maine suffered a record high tide that caused $100 milion in damages. Annapolis is closing its City Dock neighborhood 60 times a year due to regular inundation. Miami Beach has been forced to raise 105 miles of roads by two feet. Globally, Odisha State in India reports losing no less than 16 coastal villages to flooding. The Maldives have lost 95% of their fresh drinking water resources to salt water overwash and infiltration and are spending half of their national budget on sea level rise mitigation. That includes the dredging of the sea floor to build up sinking beaches with new sediment on fifty of its islands. Patrick Moore, by the way, is a greenwashing, PR spokesman for the very polluting industries that he and Greenpeace used to fight. He is not a climate scientist, and he is profoundly debunked by those who are climate scientists. He is the former head of the CO2 Coalition, which has long been funded by fossil fuel industry investors to promote the use of more gas and oil.
Moore is a liar. For years he has been saying there is no relation between co2 and temperature over the last 500 million years. But there is a relation between co2 and temperature if 2 other parameters are taken into account : the shape and distribution of the continents ( possibility to form ice caps at the poles) and the power of the sun which increases by 1% per 100 million years. I’m sure he knows that, but he is paid to say there is no correlation ! If the earth was not an ice ball 500 million years ago or more despite a much colder sun, this is because there was 10 or 20 times more co2. The couple of times when earth almost turned entirely into an ice ball it was because co2 dropped too low and could not balance a weak sun.
That's fossil fuel industry propaganda, promulgated by Patrick Moore, who is the former director of the CO2 Coalition, long funded by energy industry investors to promote the use of more gas and oil. The next major reglaciation wasn't due for tens of thousands of years. A new Ice Age has never been "imminent."
@@linmal2242 Efforts to clean the Great Pacific Garbage Patch are spearheaded by organizations like The Ocean Cleanup, which deploys advanced systems to capture plastic waste. Their technology includes massive U-shaped barriers that drift with ocean currents, funneling plastic into a collection zone for removal. Since 2021, they’ve removed thousands of tons of plastic, targeting large debris like fishing nets and consumer waste before it breaks into microplastics. Complementing these efforts are advocacy campaigns promoting reduced plastic use, improved waste management, and increased recycling worldwide. While cleanup technologies are promising, experts agree that preventing plastic pollution at its source is critical to addressing the problem sustainably. Once plastic waste is removed from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, these organizations transport it to shore for proper handling. The collected debris is sorted and recycled whenever possible to create new products, such as sunglasses and other consumer goods, helping fund cleanup efforts and raise awareness. Non-recyclable plastics are disposed of through methods like incineration with energy recovery, though this is used sparingly to minimize environmental impact. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the collected plastic does not return to the ocean or contribute to land pollution, while also advocating for systemic changes to reduce plastic production and waste.

CO2 decreased over millions of years because we no longer have the massive and long-term volcanic upheaval from the collision and break-up of continents. Sea-floor spreading itself has greatly slowed. (Down 38% from 19 million years ago.) Ocean chemistry changes have also played a role, specifically with a decrease in dissolved calcium, creating conditions where CO2 becomes more soluble in the oceans, reducing CO2 in the atmosphere.
@@murraymcgregor7829 Not even remotely true. You've bought into Patrick Moore's fossil fuel industry propaganda, not science. With thousands of volcanoes and trillions of organisms spewing gigatons of CO2 every year there isn't the slightest chance that CO2 would ever drop down to levels low enough to hurt plants. For the 800,000 years leading up to the Industrial Revolution, in fact, CO2 never got above 300ppm and most of the time remained around 260ppm, and the world didnt end. This is a scare story from big oil, not reality. The ocean in fact is fast approaching a temperature that will push CO2 out into the atmosphere rather than absorb it. When that happens, the greenhouse effect will strengthen in earnest and we'll be in serious trouble, as even more CO2 will be entering the atmosphere.
@@murraymcgregor7829 Wow. The last time CO2 was as high as it is today, humans did not even exist. So why do we need more than we have ever had to sustain life. It seemed to be sustained for a very long time before the industrial revolution.
A decrease in calcium would mean an increase in CO2 only because the carbonate forming organisms are being starved out of the water column. If oceans are 'warming' (they're not) that would decrease CO2 solubility and then reduce 'acidification'. So which is it? If sun is warming the oceans that would be the source of increasing CO2 in the air. If oceans are cooling, that would increase acidification. The whole Climate Change BIöb is replete with these physical conflicts, so they Tipping Point! and run away.
@@robertmarmaduke186 There is no conflicting information. You're simply misinformed. The oceans today are a net ABSORBER of CO2, not net EMITTERS.

The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature. It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth. A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate. Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.) ‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars. If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit. If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'. If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
I like the argumentation: We went to Alaska and hydrogen bombing stopped. We did this and that and succeeded.

Have you heard of High-albedo crops? Uni students are working on them. They will be paler to reflect back the sun!!! So, a lack of green is a lack of chlorophyll - the chemical needed to process carbon dioxide and sunlight... If the plant can't do this then it can't produce energy. If we (or livestock) eat low energy foods we'll either have to consume more or we will become weak and sick.

Well, all of this presentation feels so good, and is factually correct as far as it goes, but leaves out some very important facts. One, sea level follows the same curves. Sea level 3 million years ago was nearly 9 meters higher with our current CO2 levels. And it is now rising over 4 mm per year, in fact every decade you can expect another mm per year increase. Two, heat waves, forest fires and storms are gutting the insurance and global transport industries. California, Texas and Florida insurance markets are especially affected. Three, Ocean temperatures are increasing fast. Ocean currents circulate warmer Ocean water under ice sheets and glaciers, melting them from underneath. Four, aquifers worldwide are being over utilized, and eventually will fail to deliver water for crops. So, by all means, dazzle us with earths ancient history. Just don't ignore the inconvenient facts about what else was going on, while you attempt to exonerate human failures and ignorance. The sea level will not stop rising until there is ocean atmosphere equilibration. Heat waves and fires will not stop until the jet stream flows normally, without omega blocks. As for ice sheets and aquifers .. Well, no one wants to starve, right?
Tipping Point is the Climate equivalent of Evangelical Signs & Tribulations. In fact the Climate Cult Revelations mirror all of the previous four fundamentalist hysterias 'The Sky God is Angry!

As far as I was taught in school (a semi-private secondary school down in Patagonia Argentina) the problem with GMOs wasn't the GMO part of it, but the fact that they were modified to tolerate extremely high amounts of pesticides. The idea is that you engineer a powerful plant killer, then you engineer your desired crop to resist it, then you apply plant killer to your crops and all the weeds die while your GMO plant survives. On one hand yes, it makes sense that we might want to find an alternative to using mass plant poisoning to stop weeds.. ..on the other hand, that doesn't mean AT ALL that Genetic Modification is the problem. People trying to ban (or refusi g to buy) GMO crops entirely because SOME of them are GM'd to resist Pesticides, is to me the same as banning knives because some dood stabbed someone on the bar down the corner. It's nonsensical and the potential collateral damage to humanity WAY outweighs any possible benefits.
Going against nature will always fail. We need to stop sciencing everything, it's why we have agricultural issues in the first place. Britain used to farm very successfully until the government and it's scientists stepped in. Now we've lost mush of our arable land making us dependent upon supply chains from abroad - how is that Green exactly? Working with the land and native plants and creatures will always prevail. Time we kicked these meddling suits, who've probably never accidentally stepped in cow dung, away from our food supply.
Please don't. Moore has stated that the evidence doesn't show that human activity is causing climate change. That flies in the face of Cornell University's 2021 survey of over 88000 climate studies, which found a 99.9% consensus that human activity, not nature, is driving today's warming. So who's right? The thousands of PhD-level climate scientists who make up the consensus or a non-climate scientist who is regularly paid by big industry to make them look good?

The shapes and locations of the oceans are critical to define the thermohaline circulation and the possibility for the poles to build and maintain ice caps. Bottom line, Moore only uses 1 parameter. He forgets 2 major knobs, the sun and the continents. But of course he does not forget. Talking about them would kill his narrative. There are a bunch of studies demonstrating that indeed the CO2 is a major temperature knob over the last 500 million years, with the sun and the continents.
Things climate alarmists don't tell you about CO2. CO2 has increased about 40% in the last 120 years, but the global climate has not warmed anywhere near 40%. In that same period, the earth is quite a bit greener now with 20% more natural plant growth and about the same amount of increased farming (food) production. In controlled greenhouse experiments, increasing CO2 up to 1200 PPM dramatically increased the production in the greenhouse without increasing the heat within them.
Earth doesn't warm 40% just because CO2 rises 40%. Earth warms by about 1.5-2C. A doubling of CO2 would increase warming by about 3C. Not sure where you got the idea that temperature rises in lockstep with every percentage point of CO2, but it isn't from science. The outside world is not a greenhouse. In the outside world, the warming that accompanies rising CO2 melts the icecaps, raises sea levels, increases high tide flooding, elevates storm surges, expands wildfire seasons, intensifies hurricanes, and increases lightning strikes, heatwaves, marine heatwaves, droughts, extreme precipitation events, and tick-and-mosquito-borne diseases. The cost of increased climate damage is projected to reach $38 trillion per year by 2050. The increasing droughts and heatwaves alone are increasing crop losses. Farm productivity, in fact, is 21% LOWER than it would otherwise be without global warming, according to Cornell University. Big industrial farms can afford crop insurance to cover their losses, but the small farms cannot and are dropping like dominoes worldwide. While higher CO2 can improve plant growth, it does so at the price of nutrients. It actually diminishes zinc, iron and protein content in several staple farm crops, including wheat, rice and potatoes. That means we must eat MORE of those foods to get the same nutritional benefit, thus cancelling out the extra growth factor.
Spoiler Alert,one possibility is that CO2 increase may cause more rain,this is a definite possibility,CO2 was the first thing used in cloud seeding experiments that worked,it is possible but by the same token more rain will remove more CO2 from the atmosphere.
Two big bad things in GMO's, 1) Improved fructose production which is largely responsible for the diabetic epidemic in the United States, and 2) Seeds that can't reproduce so poor farmers HAVE to buy seed from Monsanto each year rather than retaining a portion of their crop to plant in the next season.
Can an epidemic have diabetes and the fuck has disbetes to do withe asinine religion of climte-change/global warming_ism , which religion is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature. It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth. A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate. Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.) ‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars. If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit. If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'. If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.

In 2015 it suffered a record drought that killed an estimated 2.5 billion plants and trees and millions of animals. It was supposed to be a once in a thousand year event. Yet last year it happened again, only worse, killing far more flora and fauna and igniting 26 million acres with out-of-control wildfires. Rain forests are normally to wet to burn. It's important to keep in mind that the Amazon supplies us with a substantial amount of our oxygen. Then there are the 660 major cities that line the world's coasts. Sea level has risen four inches since 1993, and its rate of rise has doubled, according to NASA and the World Meteorological Organization. That in turn has increased high tide flooding all over the world. Louisiana and New York alone have already spent a combined $100 billion on new flood mitigation projects. Now multiply that by all the other vulnerable coastal areas that will have no choice but to empty their coffers to protect themselves from the rising tide. Warmer weather has consequences, and while it may be better for some, it won't be better for all.

@@vhawk1951kl There is no "global temperature," but there is a clear global temperature trend, with each decade warming more than the previous one. So, no "collapse" of the science here. That warming trend is, according to NASA gravimeters, melting the icecaps at a rapid pace, which in turn is raising absolute sea level (up four inches since 1993 with a doubling of its rate of rise. See NASA SEA LEVEL RISE). According to NOAA, high tide flooding has risen an astonishing 400% and 1100% respectively along the U.S. southern and Gulf coasts. (See NOAA HIGH TIDE FLOODING). Maine is uplifting land from glacial rebound yet last January it suffered a record high tide that caused $100 million in damages. Louisiana has already lost over 8800 acres to permanent inundation in its Lower Breton Sound area, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It's why that state has a $50 billion flood mitigation project in the works. So does New York, with the borough of Queens flooding on a regular basis. Annapolis closes the streets and businesses of one of its neighborhoods 60 times a year due to tidal overwash. Miami Beach has raised 105 miles of roads. Odisha State in India, meanwhile, reports that no less than 16 coastal villages have been lost to the rising tide. Pretty clear indications of a warming planet, my friend. So is the tripling of heatwaves the EPA says has happened since the 1960s. Marine heatwaves are up 20-fold, according to the University of Bern. Wildfire seasons have expanded by over a month, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Atlantic hurricanes have intensified 8% per decade for the last four decades, according to NOAA. A Taiwanese study of typhoons shows the same intensification. EPA stats show that extreme precipitation events are increasing around the world. So are drought intensity and drought urations, according to the IPCC. All pretty clear indications of a warming world unless you're deliberately trying not to see them.
"The constant downward trend of CO2". Wow. He totally ignored the recent stable period, shown on his own graph, encompassing the entire pleistocene period into the holocene, during which HUMAN civilization has been able to flourish. You might want to stop and think about that because modern human beings don't have the same climate needs as dinosaurs or giant insects.
I don't get your point ... You're saying that the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is appropriate to sustain life on Earth, it seems... Well, isn't that a given? And that's not how you identify a trend. ... Climate Alarmists are allowed to ignore segments of graphs, but that's not what is going on - the graph clearly shows CO2 diminishing over time - it, as you observed, plateaued during that period - the graph doesn't show CO2 rising above previous levels - it displays the downward trend you are trying to ignore.

@@SchantaKlaus his point is that CO2 has been higher in the past, but during periods when life was much worse for humans or there were no humans at all. During the entire time that humans weren’t hiding from sabertooth tigers and dying all the time, CO2 has been stable and lower than it is today. CO2 is clearly increasing sure to industrial activity, it’s not magically going to decrease.
Are you misunderstanding net zero? Net zero means stopping our CO2 emissions from increasing the atmospheric accumulation any further. It doesn't mean elimination of all CO2 from the atmosphere. It means balancing the amount of our emissions by how much is absorbed.

He starts off by saying a "so called University" and it has dignified professors "who look as though" they are speaking quite knowledgeably. This is called POISONING THE WELL. Also, because it has appeared on a particular platform means nothing anyway and is irrelevant to the argument. He also tries to discredit Patrick Moors credentials. This is called "arguing from a point of authority". That is not an argument at all. Someone's credentials are not what determines whether an argument is correct or not.

If you feel safe in your argument, then it should speaks for itself and you do not need to argue from a point of authority. When someone makes an argument from authority it shows they are haughty, arrogant and rather narcissistic. They put themselves above their opponent and view them with contempt. It is good old fashioned snobbery from people who are not as bright as they think they are. It says everything about them and nothing about the other person. The should be debunking the argument not the person. He makes the argument that because the climate has always changed, that does not mean that it is not man-made carbon dioxide making it change now. That is a back to front argument. He should be proving that it does. It is like saying to someone, prove that you are not a mass murderer. How can you prove a negative. It is for the person making the accusation to prove the claim. He cherry-picks graphs (don't they always). Again it is irrelevant where they came from. This section of the video requires more investigation as to whether anything he says is factual and, let's face it, no one is really going to bother.

@@jjo5917 I had never seen one of potholer54's videos but have now. He starts off by saying a "so called University" and it has dignified professors "who look as though" they are speaking quite knowledgeably. This is called POISONING THE WELL. Also, because it has appeared on a particular platform means nothing anyway and is irrelevant to the argument. He also tries to discredit Patrick Moors credentials. This is called "arguing from a point of authority". That is not an argument at all. Someone's credentials are not what determines whether an argument is correct or not. It is like when Kelly J Keen was told she cannot possibly know what a women is because she is not a biologist and she replied "I am not a vet, but I know what a dog is". If you feel safe in your argument, then it should speaks for itself and you do not need to argue from a point of authority. When someone makes an argument from authority it shows they are haughty, arrogant and rather narcissistic. They put themselves above their opponent and view them with contempt. It is good old fashioned snobbery from people who are not as bright as they think they are. It says everything about them and nothing about the other person. The should be debunking the argument not the person. He makes the argument that because the climate has always changed, that does not mean that it is not man-made carbon dioxide making it change now. That is a back to front argument. He should be proving that it does. It is like saying to someone, prove that you are not a mass murderer. How can you prove a negative. It is for the person making the accusation to prove the claim. He cherry-picks graphs (don't they always). Again it is irrelevant where they came from. This section of the video requires more investigation as to whether anything he says is factual and, let's face it, no one is really going to bother. He, of course, stays away from any arguments that you do not need to be a scientist to prove of disprove.

Great talk. Patrick Moore shows real science not propaganda "science". One minor issue though: at 1:15:30 he says if we cut our CO2 emissions to 20% of current, the CO2 in the atmosphere would continue to go up, but more slowly. No! Half of our current emissions are absorbed by trees, crops and other vegetation. So if we cut the emissions to 50% the CO2 would remain stable. If we cut to 20% the CO2 level would gradually decline.
Moore is the former head of the CO2 Coalition, which has lnog been funded by fossil fuel industry investors to promote the use of more gas and oil. He's not a climate scientist, and his opinions are rejected by 99.9% of those who are.
it is a rather sweet and naive - not to say asinine and infantile, idea that men(human beings/dreaming machines) could possibly *fine tune* the climate or the temperature of the earth(and there is no..... such..... thing) or fine tune the exact proportions of gases in the atmosphere, but the fact of the matter is that they cannot and it is utterly futile and unrealistic to go in for what is little more than p[pointless virtue signalling.
The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature. It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth. A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate. Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.) ‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars. If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit. If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'. If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
@@philippesarrazin2752 what is weird about it? Here is another way to put it. We emit twice as much CO2 as we detect as increase in the atmosphere. I am talking only about the extra CO2 from fossil fuels. The difference is the extra absorption by trees/vegetation/etc because of the increase in atmospheric concentration so far. The absorption rate depends on atmosphere concentration.
The CO2 concentration was already stable, across the holocene, without us injecting more of it. When we inject 2 units of CO2, 1 unit will be absorbed by the oceans and the vegetation. 1 unit will stay in the atmosphere. What do you think will happen if we inject only 1 unit ? My logic says 0.5 unit goes to the oceans and 0.5 unit goes to the atmosphere. Bottom line, it keeps increasing.
Now please tell us why smoking cigarettes is good for your health and why the fossil companies decades ago research about their emissions causing future warming was wrong.
The oceans and ice take time to warm/melt so there is a delay before rise in average atmospheric temperature. Large heat sink. As the oceans do warm, they will release some of their CO2 so accelerating atmospheric CO2 levels further making it a positive feedback cycle. However I see your point that it's the temperature change that drives the CO2 level. The data would tend to suggest otherwise..
@@Pacdoc-Oz The ocean today is a net ABSORBER of CO2, not a net emitter. With a bit more warming it will become a net emitter, and that's when our trouble will really begin.

Moore is famous for his assertion that "over the Earth's history there's no consistent correlation between CO2 and temperature." He then shows a graph which looks pretty damned convincing. The crime here is that no lay person questions his graph's validity and provenance. Or anything else he presents as Gospel. They should. Coal mining engineer and climate denier Monte Heib took historical CO2 data and historical temperature data and slapped them together in a hand-drawn graph and assumed this was an accurate depiction of earth's climate history. It wasn’t. But deniers and skeptics have posted and re-posted his famous graph thousands of times across the internet. It has ZERO scientific validity, as you would expect from someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. The data he used was in time steps of ten million years, too long to determine correlations between CO2 and temps. (Climate scientists today use time steps of 500,000 years.) He also neglected to add the effects of a sun that increases its output as it evolves over hundreds of millions of years. Climate scientists regard the Monte Heib graph the same way they would regard their kindergartner's first attempt at "art." Unlike a child's first efforts, there is nothing funny or endearing about an amateur's attempt at deception and it certainly won't ever end up taped to their refrigerators. ;) Unfortunately, Moore uses a similar lie of omission with his wildfire graph, which appears to show far more wildfires in the 1920s and 30s than today. What he fails to share with viewers is that his graph includes millions of acres of INTENTIONAL BURNS. Today's wildfire graphs do not include intentional burns. Moreover, according to fire data historians, burn acreage in the early 20th century was counted by multiple government agencies and sometimes counted TWICE. Moore also neglects to add critical context: Many fires in the early 20th cenury were simply left to burn out on their own because there were no access roads to reach them. Does he mention the speed traveled by horse-drawn fire carts vs. today's diesel fire trucks? The efficiency of today's powered hoses over hand-pumped hoses? The lack of early detection vs. today's super fast spotting by satellites? Moore has stated that the evidence doesn't show that human activity is causing climate change. That flies in the face of Cornell University's 2021 survey of over 88000 climate studies, which found a 99.9% consensus that human activity, not nature, is driving today's warming. So who's right? The thousands of PhD-level climate scientists who make up the consensus or a non-climate scientist who is regularly paid by big industry to make them look good?
@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 the four humours theory was the consensus of the medical profession for centuries (the idea that disease is caused by imbalances of the humours). Don't mistake consensus for fact.
@@Ethelred966 The consensus is based on the overwhelming evidence gleaned from the over 350,000 climate studies published in the last fifty years. By contrast, the "four humours" had no such data to support it, nor modern day PhD scholars, nor peer-reviewed studies, nor scores of scientific institutions. It was based merely on opinion and anecdote. The four humours were developed when people believed mice appeared spontaneously in piles of hay. Their science was infantile. You're drawing a false equivalency if there ever was one.
@Ethelred966 We are so deep into the multi-polar crisis, of which global heating is a symptom, there is no clear path forward out of our predicament, other than to not look (up).
Climate change concern is focusing on really short term, rapid temperature rise at a high rate - over the next decades and century. Which is superimposed on the natural cycles and their large fluctuations. The reason is there is now an unprecedentedly large human population on Earth, most now in cities and population centres, many of which are low lying and not well adaptable to the consequences of rapid albeit moderate global warming. That's not to say that there aren't advantages of increased atmospheric CO2 levels.
Before every Ice Age there has been a warming period then a tipping point, then goes to rapid freeze. We have put so much co2 into the atmosphere we may not even actually get an actual ICE Age as they were in the past.
Tipping Point is the Climate equivalent of Evangelical Signs & Tribulations. In fact the Climate Cult Revelations mirror all of the previous four fundamentalist hysterias 'The Sky God is Angry! Send Tïthes to UN lPCC Bishopry! Latest satellite records research shows 99% correlation between global cloud cover, solar cycle intensity and surface temperatures. _CO2 and methane impact are not detectable_ Cloud cover is in long-term decline from solar activity (and galatic location) cosmic rays that trigger cloud formation. That's what's driving change in weather. NOT CO2 ALL WE CAN DO THEN IS PREPARE *BY PREVENTING N BRUSSELS DICTATORSHIP.*

Sure. Check this then : Moore is indeed a liar. For years he has been saying there is no relation between co2 and temperature over the last 500 million years. But there is a relation between co2 and temperature if 2 other parameters are taken into account : the shape and distribution of the continents ( possibility to form ice caps at the poles) and the power of the sun which increases by 1% per 100 million years. I’m sure he knows that, but he is paid to say there is no correlation ! If the earth was not an ice ball 500 million years ago or more despite a much colder sun, this is because there was 10 or 20 times more co2. The couple of times when earth almost turned entirely into an ice ball it was because co2 dropped too low and could not balance a weak sun.

He's been a greenwashing, PR spokesman for polluting industries for decades, including the oil industry. He's the former director of the CO2 Coalition, which has long been funded by oil industry investors to promote the use of more gas and oil. Does anybody here think that might be relevant?
@@Fran-ey4bu Would you like me to provide those facts? Let's do it. Moore deifies CO2 as a kind of ambrosia for the planet. It is, up to a point. Beyond that point, the rising temperatures that accompany it melt ice sheets, elevate sea levels, intensify hurricanes, and increase extreme precipitation events, droughts, wildfires, heatwaves and marine heatwaves. The net damage is considerably more than the net benefit, according to ALL university studies. CO2 greens the planet, he asserts. It certainly does, up to a point. But then he neglects to tell his listeners that we've gone far beyond that point. Heatwaves, for example, have tripled since the 1960s, according to the EPA. Heatwaves decimate crops. With just a few days of temperatures above 75 degrees, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower , peas and broccoli BOLT and stop developing. Between 85 and 95, tomatoes and cucumbers drop their flowers, reducing yield. Blueberries become necrotic and rot. Wheat yield plummets. At 104 degrees all photosynthesis breaks down, and many seeds won't even germinate. Think of places in the world like Phoenix, which suffered through 31 straight days of above 110-degree temperatures this summer. If you're a subsistence farmer (and there are still over a billion in the world) you lose your crops, your sustenance and your livelihood all in one fell swoop. Moore doesn't talk much about the increase in extreme precipitation events either. With every degree of temperature rise, the atmosphere is able to hold significantly more water vapor. That's resulting in epic downpours that are not only drowning crops but washing away valuable topsoils and fertilizer. While wet areas of the world are getting wetter, dry areas of the world are getting drier. That not only withers crops and blows away topsoils, it creates the conditions conducive to wildfires. Canadian wildfire burn acreage has DOUBLED in the last 30 years. Last year's fire was the largest in history, burning SIX TIMES the average acreage. Wildfire burns in the western U.S., meanwhile, have TRIPLED. The fire in Greece last summer was the largest in European history. The Amazon lost over 26 million acres to wildfire damage from 2023-24. These fires not only destroy entire forests, they release masses of CO2. Their smoke travels hundreds of miles, dimming the sun and reducing photosynthesis. Moore addresses all this by presenting a debunked wildfire graph, which shows greater fire damage in the early 20th century than today. What he fails to share with his audience is that his graph includes MILLIONS OF ACRES OF INTENTIONAL BURNS. Today's statistics do not count intentional burns. He also doesn't mention that multiple agencies counted burn acreage in the 1920s and 30s and sometimes counted them twice. The sad thing is that the wildfire graph isn't the only dishonest piece of data he shares with audience. His graph appearing to show no correlation between CO2 and temperature over millions of years was created by a climate-denying mining engineer named Monte Hieb, who amateurishly slapped together historical temperature and CO2 data (which he got from a scientist named Chris Scotese, who was not an expert on climate reconstructions) and assumed it would all be an accurate representation of climate history. It wasn't, as we should expect from someone who is untrained in the field. Hieb used timesteps of 10 million years to show a divergence of correlation, far too long to be even remotely accurate. Today's climate scientists use timesteps of 500,000 years or they simply rely more on direct proxy evidence to give far more accurate numbers. Moore also neglects to share NASA's updated satellite survey of the "greening of the earth." Their second survey in 2019 showed much greater resolution of the greened-up areas than the one taken in the 90s, and it turns out that a substantial portion of it did not arise from C02 but from the planting of 66 billion trees by China, and by nearly that many more in India. The Sahel, below the Sahara has also greened up, not from C02, but from mass plantings installed along the "Great Green Wall." Intensive new farming methods in both China and India are doubling and tripling up of crop-plantings, creating even more green. Europe has also implemented mass reforestation, along with other parts of the world. The internet's denier sites never mention NASA's second survey. Hmmmm.

@@philippesarrazin2752 Yes, I "gobbled up" Moore's presentation. Also, last night, 'Have you ever seen a lithium mine?" by Scott Tinker because of his refreshingly balanced view of energy production globally and his excellent presentation too. Concerning plastics, my view is that they do not belong in the sea whether anyone thinks it's a global problem or not; at best it's just bad housekeeping. Leatherback turtles, an endangered species, eat plastic bags in mistake for their usual prey, jelly fish. And jelly fish definitely are a global problem, in my opinion, because they are indiscriminate predators that fill the gap made by globally fishing down predatory fish, like tuna and cod, and, since jellyfish eat fish larvae as well as adults, they prevent or slow the re-emergence of the fish stocks cut back by fishing. Look up 'Trophic cascades' if you are interested, for example Georgi Daskalov's study of the degradation of the Black Sea to jelly fish domination in the Proc. Nat. Acad of Sciences v104, pp 10518 - 10523. The same could be happening in our oceans. If you have evidence about plastics in the sea, please tell us. Discussions on RUclips seem to be the best way to inform ourselves these days. The IPCC (on climate) and the INC (on plastics in the oceans) are inter-governmental committees that appear to be more focussed on money (the Climate Finance Fund, and the Plastics industry, respectively) than on their respective subject areas.
It is not just visible plastic.

Visible plastic may be the least harmful ones !
They will all degrade into tiny particles and toxic additives entering the food chain.
Chemical Exposure
Toxic Substance Accumulation:
Leaching of Additives: Plastics often contain additives like bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and flame retardants, which can leach into the tissues of animals upon ingestion, disrupting endocrine functions.
Adsorption of Pollutants: Plastics can absorb harmful pollutants from seawater, including heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like PCBs and DDT. When ingested, these toxins can accumulate in the animal's body.
Biological Effects:
Hormonal Disruptions: Chemicals from plastics can interfere with hormone regulation, affecting growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
Immune System Suppression: Exposure to toxic substances can weaken the immune response, making animals more susceptible to diseases and infections.
Reproductive Issues: Toxins can lead to reduced fertility, developmental abnormalities in offspring, and altered sex ratios in populations.
Microplastics and Nanoplastics
Cellular and Tissue Damage:
Inflammation and Stress: Microplastics (less than 5 mm) and nanoplastics (less than 100 nm) can cause inflammation and oxidative stress at the cellular level when ingested or inhaled.
Tissue Accumulation: These tiny particles can accumulate in organs such as the liver, kidneys, and even cross into the bloodstream, potentially causing long-term health effects.
Disruption of Feeding Mechanisms:
Filter Feeders Affected: Organisms like mussels, oysters, and zooplankton can ingest microplastics, which may clog feeding apparatuses or reduce feeding efficiency, impacting growth and reproduction.

Grasslands upon which ruminant animals live also build the soil. As a regenerative farmer I witness this beautiful process every day.
And there ain't no trees out there on the prairies. Yep, when I see cows, I see steak and fertilizer (and a host of other products). Cheers to you for keeping it going. Grasslands evolved to be grazed, and if they're not, they degrade into desert.
U of Arizona did an interesting study on desert tortoises. The common wisdom is that cows were killing them and needed to be removed. That was done, and a lot of tortoises starved to death. Why? Because they don't eat plants, they eat dung. Cows replaced bison in the ecosystem, pretty much one for one. (Actually, there were probably more bison.) They are, in fact, necessary for the health of the system.

No surprises there.
The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature.
It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth.
A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate.
Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.)
‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars.
If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit.
If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical
impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'.
If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
It is certainly not two words, the rest of what you say is even less factual.

What about the obsession regarding electric cars and the significant hazards of the lithium batteries used as their source of power? Lithium fires are escalating and emit highly toxic smoke, gasses, fumes, and particulates.
ICE cars burst into flames far more often than EVs do. Data from the National Transportation Safety Board shows that EVs are involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold. Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles are involved in fires for every 100,000 sold. Other studies from Europe agree with the NTSB's findings.
When you calculated the environmental damages EV batteries cause, did you compare them to the damage caused by drilling, mining, fracking, methane burn-offs, oil spills, fires, explosions, the transporting of oil over thousands of miles of pipeline and via tens of thousands of tanker trucks and trains, the sprawling refineries and the dangerous benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene they spew; the oil pits that kill more birds than wind turbines, the hydrogen sulfide, benzene, naphthalene and C02 produced when oil is burned, the carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, unburned hydrocarbons and C02 when gasoline is burned?

Moore is indeed a liar. For years he has been saying there is no relation between co2 and temperature over the last 500 million years.
But there is a relation between co2 and temperature if 2 other parameters are taken into account : the shape and distribution of the continents ( possibility to form ice caps at the poles) and the power of the sun which increases by 1% per 100 million years.
I’m sure he knows that, but he is paid to say there is no correlation !
If the earth was not an ice ball 500 million years ago or more despite a much colder sun, this is because there was 10 or 20 times more co2.
The couple of times when earth almost turned entirely into an ice ball it was because co2 dropped too low and could not balance a weak sun.

Analysis of global mean surface temperature (GMST) the last 24,000 years by combining several hundred previous published paleo analysis from all over Earth, took 7 scientists 7 years to do the work of combining hundreds of previous published paleo analysis and filling in the areas of Earth between the analyses using advanced statistical methods, and calculating the uncertainty in those statistical methods for the infill. "Climate changes across the last 24,000 years provide key insights into Earth system responses to external forcing. Climate model simulations and proxy data have independently allowed for study of this crucial interval; however, they have at times yielded disparate conclusions. Here, we leverage both types of information using paleoclimate data assimilation to produce the first observationally constrained, full-field reanalysis of surface temperature change spanning the Last Glacial Maximum to present. We demonstrate that temperature variability across the last 24 kyr was linked to two modes: radiative forcing from ice sheets and greenhouse gases; and a superposition of changes in thermohaline circulation and seasonal insolation. In contrast with previous proxy-based reconstructions our reanalysis results show that global mean temperatures warmed between the early and middle Holocene and were stable thereafter. When compared with recent temperature changes, our reanalysis indicates that both the rate and magnitude of modern observed warming are unprecedented relative to the changes of the last 24 kyr".

I think he's saying, it's impossible to debunk brain washing. Once smart people are fooled, they become trapped in the Overton Window for the group they livet in. There's a near insurmountable 'wall' between AGW skeptics and believers. Truth is, there's no 'proof' CO2 released by man has a significant effect on climate. Climate Change 'science' assumes AGW is true, and its believers focus on proving skeptics wrong, NOT understanding their arguments, which makes it impossible to include them in models. The predictions of various climate models looks like a fan, and they all require constant adjustments to track climate data as it accumulates. That doesn’t sound ‘settled’ in any way shape or form.
The assumption that green energy causes no or minimal environmental damage is naive. Referring to the space under windmills as bird cemeteries, highlights this point. And it's a no brainer that covering large areas with solar panels will have harmful effects, as will 150db shock waves from pounding in windmill farms.

Sea level has risen four inches since 1993, and its rate of rise has doubled, according to NASA. As a result, the Maldives have lost 95% of their fresh drinking water resources, due specifically to salt water overwash and infiltration.
But no climate scientist ever said those islands would be underwater now. Some scientists predicted some of the islands would be submerged by 2100. The Maldives, in fact, spend half their national budget on climate change and holding back the rising tide. Most notable is their dredging of the sea floor to bring sediment to the beaches to build them up higher. Over fifty of the islands have reclaimed land from the ocean this way. Reclaiming land and delaying inundation for some future year does not mean sea level rise is nonexistent. Cities, towns and states all over the world are currently emptying their coffers to figure out ways to stop the tide from rising. New York and Louisiana, for example, already have a combined $100 billion in new flood mitigation projects in the works. Miami Beach has raised 105 miles of roads by two feet. In January, Maine suffered a record high tide that caused $100 million in damages. Odisha state in India reports losing no less than 16 coastal villages to the sea. This isn't in someone's imagination. It's really happening and will only get worse going forward.
"Every plant needs CO2." And? What climate scientist anywhere on the planet is calling for an end to CO2? NONE. NADA. ZILCH. Everyone all the way down to elementary school knows CO2 is good for plants, which is why there are no plans to eliminate it. We're unable to do that anyway.
It's important to remember that CO2 is only good for plants up to a point. We've passed that point, with plants only absorbing a fraction of our emissions now and leaving the rest to accumulate in the atmosphere.
.
The dose is the poison. While CO2 helps plants grow more lush, the warming that accompanies rising CO2 cancels out those benefits by increasing crop-decimating heatwaves, droughts, extreme precipitation events and wildfires.
Rising CO2 also increases lushness by increasing sugar content and, in crops that we eat, diminishing zinc, iron and protein content, making them far less nutritious. It's not nearly as simple as fossil fuel industry propaganda would have us believe.
Check all of the places on the planets oceans that are coral, coral reefs at this moment are dead everywhere on the planet and half a billion humans have no way to live off them. These folx will move north! Nothing can stop the stampede off humans coming from south of equator in order to live and get away from burning.
Do not be delusional. This is not ideological it is real! And t is happening at the moment, we need to stop capitalism.

WE are causing the deleterious changes with our emissions. Those changes will cost the world trillions annually in damages going forward. We are in complete control of our emissions and therefore the damages that will accrue. All studies to date establish clearly that reducing our emissions and switching energy sources will be far cheaper than continously repairing climate change damage every year.

Truly critical thinking at its best,just join the dots ,what a fantastic planet..
Patrick Moore isn't a climate scientist. He's a greenwashing PR shill for big industry. He's the former head of the CO2 Coalition, for example, which received millions from the oil industry to promote the use of more gas and oil. Not a single scientific institution anywhere on earth agrees with him that today's climate change is natural and good for us. Exactly the opposite. So we can trust the 99.9% consensus of publishing scientists who actually work in the field or we can trust a man who gets paid big bucks to make industry look good. What do you think?
Truly critical lies and ignorance.
Moore is indeed a liar. For years he has been saying there is no relation between co2 and temperature over the last 500 million years.
But there is a relation between co2 and temperature if 2 other parameters are taken into account : the shape and distribution of the continents ( possibility to form ice caps at the poles) and the power of the sun which increases by 1% per 100 million years.
I’m sure he knows that, but he is paid to say there is no correlation !
If the earth was not an ice ball 500 million years ago or more despite a much colder sun, this is because there was 10 or 20 times more co2.
The couple of times when earth almost turned entirely into an ice ball it was because co2 dropped too low and could not balance a weak sun.
Nope. Truly misrepresenting science on behalf of corporate interests. He's not just an idiot... he's intentionally misleading for money. A scumbag.

Then Moore does not mention that over 500 million years, twice the super continent got assembled and disassembled.
The shapes and locations of the oceans are critical to define the thermohaline circulation and the possibility for the poles to build and maintain ice caps.
Bottom line, Moore only uses 1 parameter. He forgets 2 major knobs, the sun and the continents. But of course he does not really forget, he chooses to keep these facts hidden. Talking about them would kill his narrative.

"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Apparently you haven't seen NASA's follow-up satellite survey, which found that most of the greening has been due to massive new tree plantings (billions) and intense agricultural turnover in China and India. See HUMAN ACTIVITY IN CHINA AND INDIA DOMINATES THE GREENING OF THE EARTH, at the NASA website.

When 'cleaning it' what do you mean; just scooping it up to put it somewhere else ?
@@linmal2242 Efforts to clean the Great Pacific Garbage Patch are spearheaded by organizations like The Ocean Cleanup, which deploys advanced systems to capture plastic waste. Their technology includes massive U-shaped barriers that drift with ocean currents, funneling plastic into a collection zone for removal. Since 2021, they’ve removed thousands of tons of plastic, targeting large debris like fishing nets and consumer waste before it breaks into microplastics. Complementing these efforts are advocacy campaigns promoting reduced plastic use, improved waste management, and increased recycling worldwide. While cleanup technologies are promising, experts agree that preventing plastic pollution at its source is critical to addressing the problem sustainably. Once plastic waste is removed from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, these organizations transport it to shore for proper handling. The collected debris is sorted and recycled whenever possible to create new products, such as sunglasses and other consumer goods, helping fund cleanup efforts and raise awareness. Non-recyclable plastics are disposed of through methods like incineration with energy recovery, though this is used sparingly to minimize environmental impact. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the collected plastic does not return to the ocean or contribute to land pollution, while also advocating for systemic changes to reduce plastic production and waste.

CO2 decreased over millions of years because we no longer have the massive and long-term volcanic upheaval from the collision and break-up of continents. Sea-floor spreading itself has greatly slowed. (Down 38% from 19 million years ago.) Ocean chemistry changes have also played a role, specifically with a decrease in dissolved calcium, creating conditions where CO2 becomes more soluble in the oceans, reducing CO2 in the atmosphere.
It seems Coal powered electricity is essential to keeping our CO2 levels up to sustain life.
@@murraymcgregor7829 Not even remotely true. You've bought into Patrick Moore's fossil fuel industry propaganda, not science. With thousands of volcanoes and trillions of organisms spewing gigatons of CO2 every year there isn't the slightest chance that CO2 would ever drop down to levels low enough to hurt plants. For the 800,000 years leading up to the Industrial Revolution, in fact, CO2 never got above 300ppm and most of the time remained around 260ppm, and the world didnt end. This is a scare story from big oil, not reality. The ocean in fact is fast approaching a temperature that will push CO2 out into the atmosphere rather than absorb it. When that happens, the greenhouse effect will strengthen in earnest and we'll be in serious trouble, as even more CO2 will be entering the atmosphere.
@@murraymcgregor7829 Wow. The last time CO2 was as high as it is today, humans did not even exist. So why do we need more than we have ever had to sustain life. It seemed to be sustained for a very long time before the industrial revolution.
A decrease in calcium would mean an increase in CO2 only because the carbonate forming organisms are being starved out of the water column. If oceans are 'warming' (they're not) that would decrease CO2 solubility and then reduce 'acidification'. So which is it? If sun is warming the oceans that would be the source of increasing CO2 in the air. If oceans are cooling, that would increase acidification. The whole Climate Change BIöb is replete with these physical conflicts, so they Tipping Point! and run away.
@@robertmarmaduke186 There is no conflicting information. You're simply misinformed. The oceans today are a net ABSORBER of CO2, not net EMITTERS.

The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature.
It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth.
A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate.
Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.)
‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars.
If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit.
If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical
impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'.
If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.

Well, all of this presentation feels so good, and is factually correct as far as it goes, but leaves out some very important facts. One, sea level follows the same curves. Sea level 3 million years ago was nearly 9 meters higher with our current CO2 levels. And it is now rising over 4 mm per year, in fact every decade you can expect another mm per year increase. Two, heat waves, forest fires and storms are gutting the insurance and global transport industries. California, Texas and Florida insurance markets are especially affected. Three, Ocean temperatures are increasing fast. Ocean currents circulate warmer Ocean water under ice sheets and glaciers, melting them from underneath. Four, aquifers worldwide are being over utilized, and eventually will fail to deliver water for crops. So, by all means, dazzle us with earths ancient history. Just don't ignore the inconvenient facts about what else was going on, while you attempt to exonerate human failures and ignorance. The sea level will not stop rising until there is ocean atmosphere equilibration. Heat waves and fires will not stop until the jet stream flows normally, without omega blocks. As for ice sheets and aquifers .. Well, no one wants to starve, right?
Have you checked the number of forest and wildfires in data from the 1930s. I think you’ll find they were much more prevalent then than now.

Good for hiM , the fallacy argumentum ad populum is a favourite of crazed religious fanatics that subscribe to that asinine religion of climate-change/globalwarming_ism.
can you not se the flaw in eat sh1t, fifty billion gazilion flies can't be wrong?
The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature.
It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth.
A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate.
Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.)
‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars.
If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit.
If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical
impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'.
If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
To what is that relevant and more shortly, so the fcuk what?

As far as I was taught in school (a semi-private secondary school down in Patagonia Argentina) the problem with GMOs wasn't the GMO part of it, but the fact that they were modified to tolerate extremely high amounts of pesticides.
The idea is that you engineer a powerful plant killer, then you engineer your desired crop to resist it, then you apply plant killer to your crops and all the weeds die while your GMO plant survives.
On one hand yes, it makes sense that we might want to find an alternative to using mass plant poisoning to stop weeds..
..on the other hand, that doesn't mean AT ALL that Genetic Modification is the problem.
People trying to ban (or refusi g to buy) GMO crops entirely because SOME of them are GM'd to resist Pesticides, is to me the same as banning knives because some dood stabbed someone on the bar down the corner.
It's nonsensical and the potential collateral damage to humanity WAY outweighs any possible benefits.
Going against nature will always fail.
We need to stop sciencing everything, it's why we have agricultural issues in the first place. Britain used to farm very successfully until the government and it's scientists stepped in. Now we've lost mush of our arable land making us dependent upon supply chains from abroad - how is that Green exactly?
Working with the land and native plants and creatures will always prevail. Time we kicked these meddling suits, who've probably never accidentally stepped in cow dung, away from our food supply.
Listen to this man.
Please don't. Moore has stated that the evidence doesn't show that human activity is causing climate change. That flies in the face of Cornell University's 2021 survey of over 88000 climate studies, which found a 99.9% consensus that human activity, not nature, is driving today's warming. So who's right? The thousands of PhD-level climate scientists who make up the consensus or a non-climate scientist who is regularly paid by big industry to make them look good?

Ignore this man.
What a clown !
9:47 The usual load of denial and misleading information from Moore and other deniers.
Moore shows the evolution of the global temperature and co2 concentration over the last 500 million years, and concludes : "there is no correlation, or maybe an inverse correlation"
To use this graph and conclude this way is either a sign of total incompetence or a will to mislead.
It is indeed quite ironic that for once the deniers do not mention the sun.
The sun is a simple star whose evolution is known. This is simple astro nuclear physics : the sun warms up by 1% per 100 million years.
Then Moore does not mention that other 500 million years, twice the super continent got assembled and disassembled.
The shapes and locations of the oceans are critical to define the thermohaline circulation and the possibility for the poles to build and maintain ice caps.

There are a bunch of studies demonstrating that indeed the CO2 is a major temperature knob over the last 500 million years, with the sun and the continents.
Things climate alarmists don't tell you about CO2. CO2 has increased about 40% in the last 120 years, but the global climate has not warmed anywhere near 40%. In that same period, the earth is quite a bit greener now with 20% more natural plant growth and about the same amount of increased farming (food) production. In controlled greenhouse experiments, increasing CO2 up to 1200 PPM dramatically increased the production in the greenhouse without increasing the heat within them.
Earth doesn't warm 40% just because CO2 rises 40%. Earth warms by about 1.5-2C. A doubling of CO2 would increase warming by about 3C. Not sure where you got the idea that temperature rises in lockstep with every percentage point of CO2, but it isn't from science.
The outside world is not a greenhouse. In the outside world, the warming that accompanies rising CO2 melts the icecaps, raises sea levels, increases high tide flooding, elevates storm surges, expands wildfire seasons, intensifies hurricanes, and increases lightning strikes, heatwaves, marine heatwaves, droughts, extreme precipitation events, and tick-and-mosquito-borne diseases. The cost of increased climate damage is projected to reach $38 trillion per year by 2050.
The increasing droughts and heatwaves alone are increasing crop losses. Farm productivity, in fact, is 21% LOWER than it would otherwise be without global warming, according to Cornell University. Big industrial farms can afford crop insurance to cover their losses, but the small farms cannot and are dropping like dominoes worldwide.
While higher CO2 can improve plant growth, it does so at the price of nutrients. It actually diminishes zinc, iron and protein content in several staple farm crops, including wheat, rice and potatoes. That means we must eat MORE of those foods to get the same nutritional benefit, thus cancelling out the extra growth factor.

Ah well, maybe not everyone can be always right. Yeh, he's wrong about glyphosate and meansanto. And bayer
Yeah that was a dumb thing to say. Drinking a cup of glyphosate is not exactly like exposure due to its use on crops as a herbicide.
Spoiler Alert,one possibility is that CO2 increase may cause more rain,this is a definite possibility,CO2 was the first thing used in cloud seeding experiments that worked,it is possible but by the same token more rain will remove more CO2 from the atmosphere.
Two big bad things in GMO's, 1) Improved fructose production which is largely responsible for the diabetic epidemic in the United States, and 2) Seeds that can't reproduce so poor farmers HAVE to buy seed from Monsanto each year rather than retaining a portion of their crop to plant in the next season.
Is 2) bad? You will only buy if it makes economically sense? And maybe GMO shouldn’t spread without control?

@@vhawk1951kl There is no "global temperature," but there is a clear global temperature trend, with each decade warming more than the previous one. So, no "collapse" of the science here.
That warming trend is, according to NASA gravimeters, melting the icecaps at a rapid pace, which in turn is raising absolute sea level (up four inches since 1993 with a doubling of its rate of rise. See NASA SEA LEVEL RISE). According to NOAA, high tide flooding has risen an astonishing 400% and 1100% respectively along the U.S. southern and Gulf coasts. (See NOAA HIGH TIDE FLOODING).
Maine is uplifting land from glacial rebound yet last January it suffered a record high tide that caused $100 million in damages. Louisiana has already lost over 8800 acres to permanent inundation in its Lower Breton Sound area, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It's why that state has a $50 billion flood mitigation project in the works. So does New York, with the borough of Queens flooding on a regular basis. Annapolis closes the streets and businesses of one of its neighborhoods 60 times a year due to tidal overwash. Miami Beach has raised 105 miles of roads. Odisha State in India, meanwhile, reports that no less than 16 coastal villages have been lost to the rising tide.
Pretty clear indications of a warming planet, my friend. So is the tripling of heatwaves the EPA says has happened since the 1960s. Marine heatwaves are up 20-fold, according to the University of Bern. Wildfire seasons have expanded by over a month, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Atlantic hurricanes have intensified 8% per decade for the last four decades, according to NOAA. A Taiwanese study of typhoons shows the same intensification. EPA stats show that extreme precipitation events are increasing around the world. So are drought intensity and drought urations, according to the IPCC.
All pretty clear indications of a warming world unless you're deliberately trying not to see them.

A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate.
Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.)
‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars.
If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit.
If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical
impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'.
If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
Sorry mate, incorrect on all points. You are demonstrating Olympian gullibility.

Thank you
My information says humans and plants thrived for 200,000 years because CO2 was stable at 280 ppm which moderated the climate. Now at 420ppm it threatens extremes.
Climate has NEVER been this poor in CO2 and been many 1000s ppm in past. Every species alive today's survived far more extreme heat and cold. Latest satellite records research shows 99% correlation between global cloud cover, solar cycle intensity and surface temperatures. _CO2 and methane impact are not detectable_ Cloud cover is in long-term decline from solar activity (and galatic location) cosmic rays that trigger cloud formation. That's what's driving change in weather.
NOT CO2! ALL WE CAN DO THEN IS PREPARE, *BY NOT LETTING A UN DICTATORSHIP SUCCEED!*
Did you actually listen to the lecture?
Lecture is full of crap. It is one thing to listen. Another one to understand.
"plastic is great for marine wild life"
9:47 The usual load of denial and misleading information from Moore and other deniers.
Moore shows the evolution of global temperature and co2 concentration over the last 500 million years, and concludes : "there is no correlation, or maybe an inverse correlation"
To use this graph and conclude this way is either a sign of total incompetence or a will to mislead.
It is indeed quite ironic that for once deniers do not mention the sun.
The sun is a simple star whose evolution is known. This is simple astro nuclear physics : the sun warms up by 1% per 100 million years.
Then Moore does not mention that over 500 million years, twice the super continent got assembled and disassembled.
The shapes and locations of the oceans are critical to define the thermohaline circulation and the possibility for the poles to build and maintain ice caps.
Bottom line, Moore only uses 1 parameter. He forgets 2 major knobs, the sun and the continents. But of course he does not really forget, he chooses to keep these facts hidden. Talking about them would kill his narrative.
There are a bunch of studies demonstrating that indeed the CO2 is a major temperature knob over the last 500 million years, with the sun and the continents.

That is the one area where l think he misspoke
As mr. Pike famously said; “Whenever the people need a hero we shall supply him.” The same goes for the villains on the world stage so, to put this man in perspective; the role he plays now is of a sort of hero for the people awake to the climate scam. It is a way to earn trust so they can use him to push the wrong idea on different topics. You'd probably find he was very much pro experimental injection or he defends hormone blockers for teens (I am just making up examples, I have not looked into it). The media is full of these fake heroes/villains, to name a few; Russell Brand, Alex Jones, Naom Chomsky or Joe Rogan. The list is long, I am trying to keep this comment short (if they'll even allow it to remain here).
The one area ?

Great talk. Patrick Moore shows real science not propaganda "science". One minor issue though: at 1:15:30 he says if we cut our CO2 emissions to 20% of current, the CO2 in the atmosphere would continue to go up, but more slowly. No! Half of our current emissions are absorbed by trees, crops and other vegetation. So if we cut the emissions to 50% the CO2 would remain stable. If we cut to 20% the CO2 level would gradually decline.
Moore is the former head of the CO2 Coalition, which has lnog been funded by fossil fuel industry investors to promote the use of more gas and oil. He's not a climate scientist, and his opinions are rejected by 99.9% of those who are.
it is a rather sweet and naive - not to say asinine and infantile, idea that men(human beings/dreaming machines) could possibly *fine tune* the climate or the temperature of the earth(and there is no..... such..... thing) or fine tune the exact proportions of gases in the atmosphere, but the fact of the matter is that they cannot and it is utterly futile and unrealistic to go in for what is little more than p[pointless virtue signalling.

Impressively weird logic
@@philippesarrazin2752 what is weird about it? Here is another way to put it. We emit twice as much CO2 as we detect as increase in the atmosphere. I am talking only about the extra CO2 from fossil fuels. The difference is the extra absorption by trees/vegetation/etc because of the increase in atmospheric concentration so far. The absorption rate depends on atmosphere concentration.
The CO2 concentration was already stable, across the holocene, without us injecting more of it.
When we inject 2 units of CO2, 1 unit will be absorbed by the oceans and the vegetation.
1 unit will stay in the atmosphere.
What do you think will happen if we inject only 1 unit ?
My logic says 0.5 unit goes to the oceans and 0.5 unit goes to the atmosphere.
Bottom line, it keeps increasing.
Now please tell us why smoking cigarettes is good for your health and why
the fossil companies decades ago research about their emissions causing
future warming was wrong.
Seems to me the planet warming Up has been good for the vast majority of species. Things don't survive so well in an Ice Age - everyone knows it.
The oceans and ice take time to warm/melt so there is a delay before rise in average atmospheric temperature. Large heat sink. As the oceans do warm, they will release some of their CO2 so accelerating atmospheric CO2 levels further making it a positive feedback cycle. However I see your point that it's the temperature change that drives the CO2 level. The data would tend to suggest otherwise..
CO2 can both lead and follow temperature. Today's warming is being LED by CO2, not the other way around.
CO2 gas level rises AFTER ocean temperature rise for millions of years
@@Pacdoc-Oz The ocean today is a net ABSORBER of CO2, not a net emitter. With a bit more warming it will become a net emitter, and that's when our trouble will really begin.

Moore isn't a climate scientist. His degree is in forest ecology, but he is not a forest ecologist, he's a paid spokesman for industry.
Moore is famous for his assertion that "over the Earth's history there's no consistent correlation between CO2 and temperature." He then shows a graph which looks pretty damned convincing.
The crime here is that no lay person questions his graph's validity and provenance. Or anything else he presents as Gospel.
They should.
Coal mining engineer and climate denier Monte Heib took historical CO2 data and historical temperature data and slapped them together in a hand-drawn graph and assumed this was an accurate depiction of earth's climate history. It wasn’t. But deniers and skeptics have posted and re-posted his famous graph thousands of times across the internet. It has ZERO scientific validity, as you would expect from someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
The data he used was in time steps of ten million years, too long to determine correlations between CO2 and temps. (Climate scientists today use time steps of 500,000 years.) He also neglected to add the effects of a sun that increases its output as it evolves over hundreds of millions of years.
Climate scientists regard the Monte Heib graph the same way they would regard their kindergartner's first attempt at "art." Unlike a child's first efforts, there is nothing funny or endearing about an amateur's attempt at deception and it certainly won't ever end up taped to their refrigerators. ;)
Unfortunately, Moore uses a similar lie of omission with his wildfire graph, which appears to show far more wildfires in the 1920s and 30s than today. What he fails to share with viewers is that his graph includes millions of acres of INTENTIONAL BURNS. Today's wildfire graphs do not include intentional burns. Moreover, according to fire data historians, burn acreage in the early 20th century was counted by multiple government agencies and sometimes counted TWICE.
Moore also neglects to add critical context: Many fires in the early 20th cenury were simply left to burn out on their own because there were no access roads to reach them. Does he mention the speed traveled by horse-drawn fire carts vs. today's diesel fire trucks? The efficiency of today's powered hoses over hand-pumped hoses? The lack of early detection vs. today's super fast spotting by satellites?
Moore has stated that the evidence doesn't show that human activity is causing climate change. That flies in the face of Cornell University's 2021 survey of over 88000 climate studies, which found a 99.9% consensus that human activity, not nature, is driving today's warming. So who's right? The thousands of PhD-level climate scientists who make up the consensus or a non-climate scientist who is regularly paid by big industry to make them look good?
@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 the four humours theory was the consensus of the medical profession for centuries (the idea that disease is caused by imbalances of the humours). Don't mistake consensus for fact.
@@Ethelred966 The consensus is based on the overwhelming evidence gleaned from the over 350,000 climate studies published in the last fifty years.

@Ethelred966 We are so deep into the multi-polar crisis, of which global heating is a symptom, there is no clear path forward out of our predicament, other than to not look (up).
Climate change concern is focusing on really short term, rapid temperature rise at a high rate - over the next decades and century. Which is superimposed on the natural cycles and their large fluctuations. The reason is there is now an unprecedentedly large human population on Earth, most now in cities and population centres, many of which are low lying and not well adaptable to the consequences of rapid albeit moderate global warming. That's not to say that there aren't advantages of increased atmospheric CO2 levels.
Before every Ice Age there has been a warming period then a tipping point, then goes to rapid freeze. We have put so much co2 into the atmosphere we may not even actually get an actual ICE Age as they were in the past.
We are in a warm interglacial period WITHIN an Ice Age now. The normal descent into a full-blown reglaciation requires thousands of years.
Tipping Point is the Climate equivalent of Evangelical Signs & Tribulations. In fact the Climate Cult Revelations mirror all of the previous four fundamentalist hysterias 'The Sky God is Angry! Send Tïthes to UN lPCC Bishopry!
Latest satellite records research shows 99% correlation between global cloud cover, solar cycle intensity and surface temperatures. _CO2 and methane impact are not detectable_ Cloud cover is in long-term decline from solar activity (and galatic location) cosmic rays that trigger cloud formation. That's what's driving change in weather.
NOT CO2 ALL WE CAN DO THEN IS PREPARE *BY PREVENTING N BRUSSELS DICTATORSHIP.*
none of the climate changes are ever rapid except those which happen following massive volcanic eruptions and they are temporary
Actually around 500 peoples died in case of Fukushima, not 2000. Ntl I fully agree with the author in general.
500 died from what ?
@philippesarrazin2752 Heart / brain stroke due to high stress during evacuation.
@@tsaicio ok. Thx. Where did you find that data ?
By the way it is obvious the speaker misinforms on major topics.
@@philippesarrazin2752 In general I agree with him, but yes, he makes mistakes like that plastic is non-toxic. It is before it comes micro- and nano-plastic. So it's not 0-1 case, but about C02 I stand on his side (point of view).
As for the casulties, 2000 were from whole fukushima prefecture and were related to the disaster including earthquake and tsunami. Only a % of them died due to stress.
@@tsaicio MOst of my comments get quicly removed, but I will try .
So you disagree about plastic. Excellent. What is the percentage of food grade plastic ending up in the oceans as opposed to non food grade ?. They will all degrade. As you say, micro, nano, additives, ...impact on the food chain, on the hormone systems ....

People do not understand this. People need to study the geologic history of our planet..
By "study the geologic history of our planet..", you mean believe what others tell them about what those other believe or suppose about the past
How might you or I discover anything about the non-existent or past
Who is to decide what is whatever you mean by the geologic history of our planet..?
Is it not axiomatic that no being can directly immediately personally experience anything or *know* at all of the non-existent or past, but perhaps you are not concerned with epistemology
The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature.
It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth.
A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate.
Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.)
‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars.
If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant -the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit.
If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical impossibility.
While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'.
If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
Dude humans were hot around. What are his sources? I see none.
Sure.
Check this then :
Moore is indeed a liar. For years he has been saying there is no relation between co2 and temperature over the last 500 million years.
But there is a relation between co2 and temperature if 2 other parameters are taken into account : the shape and distribution of the continents ( possibility to form ice caps at the poles) and the power of the sun which increases by 1% per 100 million years.
I’m sure he knows that, but he is paid to say there is no correlation !
If the earth was not an ice ball 500 million years ago or more despite a much colder sun, this is because there was 10 or 20 times more co2.
The couple of times when earth almost turned entirely into an ice ball it was because co2 dropped too low and could not balance a weak sun.
@@LarryCleveland Just two for you,
The white cliffs of Dover and all limestone deposits, not to mention what has already been consumed by the Subduction zones.
@@barleyarrish I don't care how much CO2 or heat there was millions of years before humans evolved. I care about the climate in which we became extraordinarily successful (the last 5,000 years mostly).
Well, I respect different points of view. But your assumption that plastic is harmless is just your opinion. I'm now 54 and got very sick 7 years ago and struggled to maintain a healthy weight. After a few years of keeping a food diary and finding out that I suffer from liver issues with no signs of fibrosis. I have quit eating gmo corn products ( most farm animals are feed it and it concentrates in the meat). And I have switched to all organic food and my liver issues are pretty much history.
If you are American, I bet you are fat
At last someone who explains it all properly
He doesnt know it " properly "
Moore is not a climate scientist and is debunked by those who are.
@stevewils...on4321 :- "....and you do???😂😂😂😂
SO now you are convinced that plastic is great for marine wild life as he says ?
Are you ? Do not be shy !
Wonderful.👏🏻
Please, could you produce a German version? Thanks!

He's been a greenwashing, PR spokesman for polluting industries for decades, including the oil industry. He's the former director of the CO2 Coalition, which has long been funded by oil industry investors to promote the use of more gas and oil. Does anybody here think that might be relevant?
It’s so much easier to attack the speaker than to refute the facts, isn’t it?
@@Fran-ey4bu Would you like me to provide those facts? Let's do it.
Moore deifies CO2 as a kind of ambrosia for the planet. It is, up to a point. Beyond that point, the rising temperatures that accompany it melt ice sheets, elevate sea levels, intensify hurricanes, and increase extreme precipitation events, droughts, wildfires, heatwaves and marine heatwaves. The net damage is considerably more than the net benefit, according to ALL university studies.
CO2 greens the planet, he asserts. It certainly does, up to a point. But then he neglects to tell his listeners that we've gone far beyond that point. Heatwaves, for example, have tripled since the 1960s, according to the EPA. Heatwaves decimate crops. With just a few days of temperatures above 75 degrees, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower , peas and broccoli BOLT and stop developing. Between 85 and 95, tomatoes and cucumbers drop their flowers, reducing yield. Blueberries become necrotic and rot. Wheat yield plummets.
At 104 degrees all photosynthesis breaks down, and many seeds won't even germinate. Think of places in the world like Phoenix, which suffered through 31 straight days of above 110-degree temperatures this summer. If you're a subsistence farmer (and there are still over a billion in the world) you lose your crops, your sustenance and your livelihood all in one fell swoop.
Moore doesn't talk much about the increase in extreme precipitation events either. With every degree of temperature rise, the atmosphere is able to hold significantly more water vapor. That's resulting in epic downpours that are not only drowning crops but washing away valuable topsoils and fertilizer.
While wet areas of the world are getting wetter, dry areas of the world are getting drier. That not only withers crops and blows away topsoils, it creates the conditions conducive to wildfires. Canadian wildfire burn acreage has DOUBLED in the last 30 years. Last year's fire was the largest in history, burning SIX TIMES the average acreage. Wildfire burns in the western U.S., meanwhile, have TRIPLED. The fire in Greece last summer was the largest in European history. The Amazon lost over 26 million acres to wildfire damage from 2023-24.
These fires not only destroy entire forests, they release masses of CO2. Their smoke travels hundreds of miles, dimming the sun and reducing photosynthesis.
Moore addresses all this by presenting a debunked wildfire graph, which shows greater fire damage in the early 20th century than today. What he fails to share with his audience is that his graph includes MILLIONS OF ACRES OF INTENTIONAL BURNS. Today's statistics do not count intentional burns. He also doesn't mention that multiple agencies counted burn acreage in the 1920s and 30s and sometimes counted them twice.
The sad thing is that the wildfire graph isn't the only dishonest piece of data he shares with audience. His graph appearing to show no correlation between CO2 and temperature over millions of years was created by a climate-denying mining engineer named Monte Hieb, who amateurishly slapped together historical temperature and CO2 data (which he got from a scientist named Chris Scotese, who was not an expert on climate reconstructions) and assumed it would all be an accurate representation of climate history. It wasn't, as we should expect from someone who is untrained in the field. Hieb used timesteps of 10 million years to show a divergence of correlation, far too long to be even remotely accurate. Today's climate scientists use timesteps of 500,000 years or they simply rely more on direct proxy evidence to give far more accurate numbers.
Moore also neglects to share NASA's updated satellite survey of the "greening of the earth." Their second survey in 2019 showed much greater resolution of the greened-up areas than the one taken in the 90s, and it turns out that a substantial portion of it did not arise from C02 but from the planting of 66 billion trees by China, and by nearly that many more in India. The Sahel, below the Sahara has also greened up, not from C02, but from mass plantings installed along the "Great Green Wall." Intensive new farming methods in both China and India are doubling and tripling up of crop-plantings, creating even more green. Europe has also implemented mass reforestation, along with other parts of the world. The internet's denier sites never mention NASA's second survey. Hmmmm.

You've paid gasoline and oil taxes for years, but you're okay with that, right? Okay with gouging taxpayers out of the trillions in subsidies we pay the fossil fuel industry every year? Okay with the trillions in damages that climate change is bringing? New York and Louisiana already have a combined $100 billion in new flood mitigation projects in the works because of sea level rise, and we're just getting started. Flood damage alone is projected to cost us trillions annually going into the future. Insurance companies in vulnerable areas are not only raising premiums, they're abandoning some areas altogether. Did you calculate all that when you made your comparison to a carbon tax?
how is that different from the UN stooges promoting hysteria? the classic lefty morally superior "it ok for me, but not for thee" approach to the world
Thank you Dr Moore for being a planetary defender 🌎
Was he a planetary defender when he headed the CO2 Coalition, which was funded by the oil industry to promote the use of more gas and oil?
@@Ethelred966 More CO2 equals more heat, which HURTS plants by increasing heatwaves, droughts, extreme precipitation events and droughts. See CLIMATE CHANGE CUT GLOBAL FARM PRODUCTIVITY 21% SINCE 1960S, a study by Cornell University in Science Daily, April 1, 2021. See also SEVERITY OF DROUGHT AND HEATWAVE CROP LOSSES TRIPLED OVER THE LAST FIVE DECADES IN EUROPE, in Environmental Research Letters, Jun 10, 2021.
Did Patrick Moore tell you what happened in the Amazon in 2015.? A massive drought killed an estimated 2.5 billion plants and trees and millions of animals. It was supposed to be a once in a thousand year event, yet in 2023 it happened again, only far worse, killing even more flora and fauna and setting ablaze 26 million acres with out-of-control wildfires. Rain forests are normally too wet to burn. Also to keep in mind: the Amazon supplies us with a substantial portion of our oxygen.
Moore isn't a climate scientist. He's a greenwashing PR spokesman for industry, including big oil when he headed the CO2 Coalition. Not a single scientific insititution on earth agrees with him that today's climate change is "natural" and "harmless" and that more CO2 would be "good for us." NONE. NADA. ZILCH. Give that some thought.
Moore earns his money because he performs his PR job well. He certainly persuaded you into believing him.

@@barleyarrish The "gas of life" is one of the fossil fuel industry's favorite propaganda memes. Just a little lie of omission that conveniently leaves out that rising CO2 causes the warming that melts the icecaps, raises sea levels, intensifies hurricanes, expands wildfire seasons, reduces farm productivity, and increases heatwaves, marine heatwaves, extreme precipitation events, droughts, and tick-and-mosquito-borne diseases. It leaves out the trillions of dollars climate change is costing us and the fleeing of insurance companies from vulnerable areas of the world.
