Scientists overwhelmingly agree that our climate is changing, Earth is getting warmer, sea levels are rising, and it’s primarily because of humans putting lots of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Yet 4 in 10 Americans aren’t convinced. Here’s what psychologists and sociologists have to say about why some people don’t believe in climate science.

About The Author
Global Warming is a political Political issue = For money motivated/egocentric humans to sell/buy solar panels, electric cars ect, and other money making scams. The real cause of global warming is our sun. It is in the ending cycle of its 12.060 year solar synchronization cycle. Which occurs every 12,060 years. It started with the Gliesberg cycle of 1958. Solar flares, sun spots have been on the rise ever since. Our sun will NOVA but not turn into a red star. Its is start of the new ice age. NASA knows this.
My question is that with all this knowledge of elites why nobody has thought of it way earlier??
Rasing temperatures increase carbon dioxide not the other way round. The power grab is up give it a rest.
Hey, I can answer the question in the title in one sentence, save you the time watching the video and listen to his BS: because it's all lies upon lies. There you go! 🙂
Biden said we value truth over facts; so don’t bring up facts.😂
It snowed today and it’s June lol there’s no such thing as global warming
All renowned scientists came to the conclusion the climate is changing.
The why and how to stop it is split far more than just 4 our of 10 on the high end researchers though.
From what I could gather from research papers (that I sometimes read to broaden my horizon when I'm in Hyperfocus), which I trust far more than any talking head on a TV, Monitor or Smartphone, the data just isn't there for CO² as the "driving" factor.
Most of the unbiased studies, those who wheren't paid by Politicians / Activists, stated it's actually unusual that we still have ice caps, the end of the ice age should've come way sooner.
They also state, that they see little to no scientific correlation between the 0.01-0.02% increase in CO² in the Atmosphere over the last couple Decades and rising Temperatures outside of the expected periodic parameters.
There were a lot of findings about Methane Gas being far more dangerous and worth looking into, easily detectable by methods available since almost 100 years now, if not more.
This would be the next step in this Fearmongering that is going on. (Most notably after Corona didn't work for Political gains any longer.)
When all Cars are banned, they will push "Studies" that show how Livestock is the driving factor in Climate Change through Methane Gas, when in reality it is already known that there are several Gas leaks across the Deserts (Natural and Man Made) where one of those leaks alone cause more Methane in the Atmosphere than the entire Worlds Life-Stock.
This is why I'm not doing anything personally.
If I wanted to plead for stopping Climate Change but without CO² I have been and will be denounced as a "Climate Denier" and cast aside by people that have literally the same goals as I did but used the sketchy, paid for by Politicians, studies as their main source of information through 2nd or even 3rd degree. (Like a Youtube Video, quoting a Media Spokesperson, quoting a Politician, quoting an Article he paid for.)
I won't simply join a movement without asking important questions just so I can lie to myself in the mirror every time, telling myself "I'm a good guy, fighting for what is right".
It's here I guess
Imagine the low IQ required to believe climate change is real
10 years later and its safe to conclude that it was all a scam.
Science is evil. We were fine before we had it. If scientists dodn't invent chemicals we wouldn't be having any problems they are saying we have. Maybe instead of paying them to reasearch the problem, ghey should work for free to fix the problem they created like a school kid who graffitied a wall at school, made to clean up as a punishment.
Thank you to PBS for 7.5 minutes of bullshit.
Its all nonsense…no such thing
I think the reasoning in this video makes the same mistake as climate science itself does: there is potentially some truth in it but 1) it is not scientifically validated, 2) puts all its eggs in one basket. Climate science turned itself in climate activism, and many flat out know and others just simply sense it. 9 years after this video, still no scientific proof that show that C02 growing concentrations reflect the radiating forcing predicted (aka trying to turn correlation to causation), just a theory probably flawed too as data and modelling get continuously massaged in the attempt to demonstrate something it was assumed a priori.

You have to believe in climate science. "Scientific study of the Climate". By definition. In the same way you have to believe in UFOs, by definition. Unidentified flying objects. It doesn't say you believe in martians
This video is 9 years old and on July 21st of 2024 we just had the hottest day ever since we began recording…..
9/10 scientists agreed witches caused climate change 400 yes ago so they must be right since the consensus agreed.
“Show me the incentives, and I'll show you the outcome.”
If the gov pushes it. A. Someone is getting rich (who do you think funds all this ", climate science", they get free funny money …and b. They're almost certainly wrong.
Scientists thought we would ever a new ice age only 40 yrs ago. They have no fkin clue what they're talking about.
We need to change are actions and behaviors. Use less need less. Be practical and observe our modern world. We can go local and make sense. Only thing that stands in our way is modern convenience.
I don't believe in anything. Having worked in so called science I can tell you most of it ain't science
My grandchildren will have to deal with it. Ken Burns said in a commencement speech to Washington University, “we broke it, but you’ve got to fix it”. It’s very broken but why won’t we take action?
Intro is misleading… scientists are unsure about… is CO2 levels’s significance and ratio to impact effect (debate’s ongoing). Reports and charts indicate a correlation between
CO2 and global avg warm and cold periods. Actual temperatures are proxy data prior to 100 years ago. Current temperatures are globally taken but CO2 only in the Hawaiian Islands.
Thus CO2 is assumed to be representative due to weather patterns..so says NOAA. 😳 Hardly the scientific method!!!
Science doesn’t require BELIEF unless it’s a theory or hypothesis. And the Threat of extinction or climate change unlike normal climate variations is yet to be proven.
For evidence refer to the IPCC report issued recently with 4 possible outcomes predicted by climate modeling. Ranging from extinction of life to no significant impact at the current increases of emissions
The narrator is accurate in saying that explicit deniers demand more research, experimentation are necessary B4 policymakers act. The tacit deniers claim to be believers, but their actions and proposed solutions are weak
and ineffective!! Basically everyone deserves the denier label.
You think it might have anything to do with all the lying you people do?
Yea, cuz this guy has lived to the ripe old age of 3 billions years old. What a maroon. ‘Unprecedented’ eh? Bollocks.
Some people don't believe it because there is no demonstrable evidence that humans can influence the climate of the planet more than natural variability.
Fun fact: for CO2 to do what they claim it does, it would have to violate the 1st and 2nd laws of Thermodynamics
Wow, maybe have a narrator who doesn't embody the dismissive stereotype of a graduate program dropout.
People are too lazy to find a new Source of energy.
I find it VERY difficult to understand that a Planet made of 80% water will go through changes that are not natural! 7 billion years of life in different forms, and civilizations that come and go! Earth will Always protect itself! We” as humans are a less than 1% of its lifespan! Yet WE” are the problem! The Only Problem is who makes $$$ off this BS!~ Get out of here! What an Ego by comparison! There is a quote “ You’re only Trapped if You think You Are!”… Media and Politicians definitely take advantage of this!~
3:30 no its not because then the average is higher.
There is no such thing as climate science.
The climate has been changing for thousands of years. I don’t think we change it that much.
9 yrs later and not much has changed.
The real problem is not in the symptoms but the cause. Blatant disregard for the sacredness of this Earth- our home- has been played out in countless scenarios of avarice and greed without consideration of the consequences. The solution? The remembering that Nature is essentially what we are and if we do not take care of it, it will not take care of us. Re-evaluating our priorities is paramount for the signs are staring us in the face trying to get our attention.
evolution 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I blame evangelical Creationists
So was the Ice Age climate change, or was it just part of the natural order of things It happens,Then we try and find a reasonable answer to something we don't understand.
CLIMATE CHANGE CANNOT BE FIXED BY THE AVERAGE PERSON.
