The Biggest Myth About Climate Change

Enjoy this short video about climate change! I'll heart any comment if you can prove you watched the whole thing 🤓

And even if the current warming was completely natural, it would be super stupid to make it worse by continuing to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Or to put it another way, even if we couldn't do anything to make it better, that's certainly no excuse to make it worse.

I've not got an issue with is it us or isn't it. I have an issue with us being told we need to be more "Carbon neutral" BUT the politicians don't actually do anything about it, they just take more money and MOVE the carbon footprint to another country to then say that we are doing out bit.

I have been landscaping in philadelphia for 40 years. The first 25 or so were the same season started mid april ran till mid october. Then it started around april 1st and ran till halloween....I started this season 3 days ago.....third time in the last 6 years i had to start in mid march....i now finish around mid november last year it was the 18th.....the season is around 6 to 8 weeks longer then it used to be....just so you know i am apolitical......what i am saying is not to support a political view. I am simply stating a fact. The climate is changing and i know it because it has affected my vocation. Also there always used to be a part of the season around late july where there was a break in the action due to high temps and lack of rain....the lawns would turn brown. That doesn't happen anymore because there is more rain......the lawns don't brown out and stop growing. Its a different world out there now.Things are changing. Just saying.

Turning climate change into a political debate is probably one of the smartest things the oil corporations have ever done. It's really working out for them

Anyone, everyone in fact, that had decided the science is done has already abandoned science in favor of politics.

honestly love the way you talk about this "the people who discovered how the climate naturally changes over time are climate scientists, the same group of people who discovered the climate change we're currently facing is human caused." is kind of a connection that should be obvious but it really hits different when spoken out loud. kind of a fun realization seeing how the reason the example comment at the start of the video knows about it in the first place are the same people he's trying to use that argument against.

Even if true, IT IS NOT, "natural" does not mean "good for people"!!

So 1973 I was in 6th grade and all the scientist agreed we were headed for another ice age from man’s pollution . They too had an agenda just like the players today .

Ignorance in itself is not a major problem. It becomes a major problem when combined with arrogance.

I have a problem with massive multi-billion dollar companies wanting to keep providing extra carbon while blaming your car and your cheeseburger, trying to take both away from you while they buy "carbon credits" to keep polluting. also false or misleading advertising which fails to point out that you make a much bigger carbon footprint getting a new electric vehicle if you don't keep that one for over 6 years of driving. Or politicians who refuse to work on upgrading the power grid, tell us NOT to charge EVs, but tell us that we HAVE TO buy one, when they are still full of TOXIC lithium batteries while Humans have SUCH a spotless record when it comes to waste management (see pacific garbage patch). Lithium Apocalypse everyone ?

00:25 lmao that's a good diss😂

I’m in the middle of a debate about climate change and rising sea level right now

In Hungary, our government just started forcing cutting out trees in a never before seen rate, and our way of handling natural values has never been good either. It's so sad.

It's like throwing something at the ground as hard as you can and then arguing "I didn't smash it, gravity is natural, everything is pulled down" edit: well that analogy as good as it sounds isn't really useful if you don't already know how the whole thing works. So it's not gonna be useful in convincing anyone that disagrees. more accurately it'd be more like the lights were out when it happened, with lots of people hearing it, and the smashed to pieces object laying on the floor with the suspected person suspiciously standing next to it, so based on the circumstances and the broken object all it can be infered that this exact thing happened, all the evidence is there and good enough to put together an accurate pictuer, but technically no one did "see" it happen. It's a good analogy both in terms of equivilance of what's happening and what kinds of information are missing but it's not gonna be useful in convincing anybody. A much more convincing argument would be what joe repeated in this video a bunch: "The field of science that told you about how earth's climate naturally changes over time is the same field of science that says the climate changes we're currently experiencing are absolutely caused by human activity. It's all climate scientists. They didn't just selectively forget about it, the natural shifts are already being accounted for."

an important question for all viewers of this regardless of what side you believe is “what piece of data or evidence would cause you to change your mind?”

Hey! I am from Brazil and I loved this class. We are going through difficult times because of the tragedy in Rio Grande do Sul and your class explained a lot. Thank you

It's also worth noting that modern humans were able to develop in the way we did because the climate was stable for a relatively long period of time. We rely on that stable climate to continue our current existence and further development. If we wish to create our perfect home and stick to it, we really need to do what we can to keep a stable climate (and also keep a healthy level of biodiversity). Our activities have a huge impact on the systems we depend on for our existence and it's shocking to me that the oceans have masked that impact for some time. It goes to show how much of a difference we made in barely 250 years time. Shifting baseline syndrome makes it harder to really see what's going on, so education is key.

The first rule of science: IT'S NEVER THAT SIMPLE.

Canada has had their first Grass fire 4/15 this year and the rain hasn't stopped in California yet, better to burn the grass now than in June.
