It's car exhaust! No! No! It's coal fires, no no no! It's hair spray! No, no, no it's fridges! No, no, no! It's cows pooping in fields, hmm? The gravitational pull of the moon makes the earth slightly egg shaped. Hence we have tides! Yes! The moon god Allah is not made of cream cheese! Allah is not smiling at us! they're craters! How much bull sh**
Are we going to get fed? Why are so many people making money out of fear?
So its cherry picking when we look at 1998, but its not cherry picking when the timeline starts in 1880??
I can feel that the Sun feels more intense now than it did forty years ago. It burns my skin much more intensely than before.
It's July in England mother has water bottle.Wife has winter quilt daughter has pyjamas in bed and granddaughter socks.
I saw you conflate rising water levels with global warming. If you take a tall glass with mostly ice but with water so the ice is not sticking out of the surfact of the water and let it melt, the glass water level will NOT go up. In fact, it will go down. This is because ice is less-dense than water. So this tells me that rising water levels imply global cooling not global warming.
You said that the lower atmosphere is warming while the upper atmosphere is cooling. Did the studies of overall earth tempature take this into account and at what altitude were the air temperature measurements taken?
9:46 Look at this slike. It says we are suffering from water shorages AND rising sea levels. Which is it? Desalination technology has made recent leaps and bounds and would imply that we can solve this inconvenience of not having as much fresh water where we want it.
Also the fact that people are starving is not new and is not a factor on climate change but is a sneaky implication that we have too many people instead of too many regulations and limits stopping man from getting the energy and food he needs at an affordable price. Fighting global warming is CAUSING more people to starve.
As CO2 rises in density, plants grow greener and healthier and convert that to O2. Could we not be in a different cycle than is shown here and will soon see things return to normal naturally if we just give it time?
Love how you started in the 1800's. Your time scale isn't large enough. Talk about cherry picking!
This is one of the dumbest friggin videos I've ever seen. Anyone that wants to TRULY understand this "climate crisis" needs to watch Randall Carlson's podcasts on the subject. This issue is vast and complex, and absolutely RIDDLED with dishonest scientific research. The fact of the matter is, there is a HUGE interest in propagating the fear surrounding climate change, and every single on of these politicians that claim to be "saving" us are just the same old brand of mediocre crap minded doofuses that have always been in office, and the only thing that they want to do is CONTROL PEOPLE. THATS IT.
Climate scientists don't get any money from governments or grants, unless they fall in line with the political rhetoric on climate change.
So glad to see the comments aren't turned off and most of the comments are those of critical thinkers with common sense!!! I want to like this video because of that but I won't because it cherry picks and strawman's the REAL climate "deniers" arguments. Some of those I see in the comments, but most obviously for me is the FACT that humans can and DO manipulate the weather going far more dangerous than just cloud seeding, which they FINALLY admitted to 2 decades AFTER they started doing it. When are they going to admit what the HAARP systems can do which whistleblowers have said can cause earthquakes? Weather manipulation IS caused by humans and DOES exist, but not by the humans (useless eaters) that they are attacking. It's by the global elite who are out in full swing with their WEF agenda and unlimited billions of dollars of fake money. It's the cowards who can't see it yet.
Los Angeles, June July is hot every year I every year I been alive. We call it summer. Dec Jan is cold. We call it winter. Maybe it’s 1-3° here or there over 20 yrs but otherwise average same The media just likes to dramatize the extremes for ratings or clicks
plant more trees damn it!
If we r inbetween 2 mini ice ages then it issupposed to b getting warmer. As the rockefellars are behind the funding u can't trust the figs + they will have an agenda of their own.
The scientific consensus depends on whose studying the studies… err d 😮 rockefellers….

Basically u can't trust anything the oligarch elites say… it's 99% lies.. climate change, vaccines, the ukrain war, the only thing they seem to invest in is lies,
97% of scientists never agreed on anything, I smell shite
Lately I've been questioning if humans are primarily to blame for global warming. In my opinion, we are contributing significantly; however I do believe that it is a natural cycle of our planet. Sometimes we have to dig and find our own truths. It's a shame that politics makes it a black and white matter when there is lots of Grey. Guess it really doesn't matter why, as long as humankind does it's part.
What saddens me most continues to be stripped robbing animals of their habitats. For the sake of greed. It makes me ashamed to be a human.
That graphic at 1:39 is a bit misleading – the temperatures are arranged sequentially, but the years are not in order. If they were arranged by year, it would show a peak in 2016 and gradually lower temps by 2021.

All a scam to create useless taxes and create restrictive laws , while the rich go out to eat in paris in thier jets …
I live in MN , everything normal here ,just like its always been ..
The earth has cycles .. at one time antarctica was a tropical rain forest …
That study was created by John Wick.
So dumb you debunk yourself in the video. From 1998 to 2012, planetary changes halted warming. The whole point is that the earth is only mildly altered by us…. earth can wipe us out and survive easily. We hold little power to stop it or control it. We are contributing to greenhouse gasses, but to think earth will not adjust accordingly is false. It will.
That being said, if we want to expand our time here on earth, we better find a cleaner and more efficient energy source. Introducing…. nuclear power. Are you on board?
Lol, how did we measure carbon levels 800,000 years ago. Keep going, you're digging deeper.
Climate change is a very lucrative business
Climate change is a huge scam. I'm a scientist.
Myth number eleven:
That we can do something about it.
Whilst the West flagellate themselves and aim for net zero, China and India burn fossil fuels with abandon.
Even worse, the West buys the self same fossil fuels from those countries whilst saying that the fact we're closing our own mines means we're "Hitting Targets".
This is all b*******There's no evidence that man is causing climate change.

What scientist think
Fun fact, many climate change believers also believe there're infinite genders😀
Somewhat is a hoax , somewhat is real . For example after ww2 , eastern europe meet unusual warm periods what caused the great Romanian famine .
Nobel prize winner Dr. John Clauser laughs at your argument. You are pathetic.
Less than half a degree? Are you fkn serious?
thank you, it will change soon, there are other source of energy that with international cooperation can reduce global warming, sea is huge source of energy, further more we can prevent these phenomena like cyclone and flood and wildfire by using this hot seasonal atmospheric condition, recent years in summer, geothermal energy happens in surface of coastline, there are many countries in coastline with seasonal hot weather and water condition, in sum-up, by using this energy not only is economical but also reduce global warming like Japan, China, India, Mediterranean countries, Iran, Mexico, Us, Canada, (Africa and Arabian countries….) . I invented new method base on air pressure rules and quantum physics ionization sea water minerals in strong dynamic magnet and electrical field and electric chemical reactions for producing electricity and fresh water and fertilizer. 7 methods for reducing global warming I mentioned in my profile.
How can you call Myth 1 busted when the data you are looking at is only from 1850. The Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old – yet somehow looking at a small increase in temperature over the past 100 years is scientifically significant. It’s absolutely not, you need to look at studies that look at fossils in the ground dating temperature back millions of years and those studies find that this warming is insignificant.

Lol the ipcc have stated a bunch of weather condition they have 0 evidence is effected by human co2 increases, these included floods, droughts (all types ) increased precipitation, stronger and more powerful cyclones, hurricanes and tornados.
Basically all the bad weather events people claim are due to climate change are not effected by it! According to the ipgcc………….. is the international panel of global climate change now “climate deniers” or does co2 simply not have the dramatic effect claimed?
Talk about cherry picking. Shoe the graph for the last 100,000 years. We're warming from an ice age. Look at earth's history, not just human history. There have been several time that there were no polar ice caps.
this video is so wrong its funny
We must disconnect climate change and politics (left vs right) before we can do anything about it. I'm very conservative when it comes to freedom of the individual, culture, and migration. However I very much believe in man-made climate change.
how are those poor spectators who suffered frostbite and had limbs amputated after the NFL Playoffs in Kansas City earlier this year?
Now in 2024 there are new studies that the earth is cooling. These studies only get funded if their findings agree with global warming. After covid it's hard to trust science.
Ocean topography of volcanic activity , also creates warner water currents . Together with the sun. The iceage was once. Snowball Earth continues to melt. Guesstimation is what humans do. Scientists , researchers , and populations weren't on this planet as they are today. Planetary evolution continues, humans are just part of the elements, not the creation. Humans manufacture a data processing of a thought. No humans, no climate change! But because you're on this planet and have the ability to adopt, and the intelligence, you create mythic scenarios. Just my POV. 👽
When you hear the word debunk you know they are lying.
Commercial industrial success, 8/9 billion mouths to house, feed ,produce clothing furniture travel by air sea or road , electric goods ,over farming and irresponsible deforestation ect ect and along with 1.4 billion motor petrol/deisal engines concentrated in a large group of countries has effected along with man interfering with nature for financial gain. Born in 1956 with 60 percent less people then , and only 15 percent of today's total in motor vehicles.
First globally agreed but small voice climate problems was by the mid 70s.
Another yawner 🥱. All 🐂🚽
This myth busting is as credible as the fact checkers on social media
