Global warming: why you should not worry 

Surprised this hasn't been removed

“When you hear a scientist saying the science is settled, you know that person has stepped out of the science”

"everything is fine and OK" This phrase will not make new headline

Aaron Rodgers: ‘If science can’t be questioned, it’s propaganda’. True that.

RU-vid will probably deem this video “Hate Speech”.

I very much appreciate Richard Lizden's straightforward honesty. Especially when he said, "All of us scientists are government employees. even if we are working for private universities".

I wonder if this man has held his ground over the past 12 years.

12 years later.... still here.

I was hired by the University of Maine, while a student, to test New England lakes for acidity levels. When I read the study I saw how they skewed the test to obtain the results that could only say acid rain in a problem. I challenged the presiding professor. Sure enough He admitted that they needed to prove that acid rain is problematic only because they were up for a ten million dollar grant. They confirmed, based upon my sample collections, they were going to submit fraudulent test results to the EPA purely to gain funding. When I refused to sign off on their skewered test results, I was promptly fired. How many other false narratives have Universities created solely to pocket from the government?

When I was a teenager (in the early 70's) everyone was convinced there was going to be another ice age.

We are not worried we are worried that they want co.2 decreased from 0.04 percent to the point where plants fail to thrive which is .02 percent

My wife and I can't decide on the optimal temp on our home thermostat. I don't hold much hope for the whole of humanity being in agreement.

Can't believe that the Boston Globe actually aired this. Not everyone has been bought out.

To say that the climate is always changing and so there is no problem is incomplete thinking! The question is whether humans are affecting the natural processes that would normally occur. In particular, are we causing the climate to change faster than it would otherwise? If humans cause the climate to change in 100 years as much as it would normally change in 50,000 years (or more!) -- might not that be a problem? It's true that humans are adaptable, and life in general is adaptive --- but if the change is too fast, plants and animals cannot adapt quickly enough, they go extinct.

This aged well, right?

Consensus does not always equate to truth.

That's about the most sensible 5 minutes of video I've ever seen. Thank you!

Here you see either the face of evil, or the face of a fool.

Richard Lindzen worked for the Cato Institute and made a lot of money off the Koch family since 1991!

"It's a bad idea to have anything that can't be challenged." Beautifully said, sir. This is my whole problem with the anthropogenic climate change people. Environmental Authoritarianism is every bit as evil as its political cousin!

“We’re very sensitive to what politicians SAY & BELIEVE “, that’s a “shortcoming”……UNDERSTATEMENT

There are 3 main factors to consider... 1. Milankovich cycles. 2. Solar activity... 3. The Atlantic Meridianal Overturning Circulation. These three things combine to create global climate effects.

How come we can’t see the likes??? I find this very interesting and I like to be knowledgeable in this topic 👍👍

This feels like a breath of sanity. I have had serious doubts about the agenda behind global warming/climate change dogma since it first appeared, and I consider myself an environmentalist.. clearly there is a concerted effort to have us terrified for reasons unknown. Anyone have any ideas?

"When you hear a scientist saying 'the science is settled', you know that person has stepped out of the science."

Talk to airline captains that have been flying over northern latitudes for the past 30 years. "Nothing has changed"

probably one of the best videos on RU-vid, and only 400,000 views in 12 years. please share this. youtube obviously doesn't like truth.

Peolple aren’t talking about what happened in the last thousand years as you’ve stated !!!! They’re concerned about what has and is happening since the industrial revolution !!!

Sea level isn't rising. the globe is leveling off

Before anyone criticizes him, let them become MIT professor emeritus in meteorology and Harvard professor like he his. Then you can talk...

I'm going to be very upset if at least 20% of the USA isn't underwater in 12 years. Especially San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland.

Here's a neat little factoid. Vikings settled in North America (Nova Scotia) during the Medieval Warming Period roughly 950-1260; about 500 years before Columbus "discovered" the New World. It was during this period of "global warming" that the northern oceans became ice free for the first time in centuries. This period of "warming" allowed the Vikings to colonize and grow crops in previously frozen areas of Greenland and Nova Scotia. During that period, the North West Passage, the northern most route to the Pacific, was also ice free; and it is believed by many historians and researchers that the Vikings actually passed from the Atlantic to the Pacific in their "Long Ships" and explored the West Coast as far south as California. Ah...those were the days when men were men! After the passing of about 360 years, the cold temps, ice and snow returned and the tough Norsemen were forced to abandon their colonies as crops could no longer be grown or cattle grazed. You know, it's all about the "Big Picture" - not about dissecting some micro-spec on a timeline miles long. This is about the Green-Progressives moving to control every aspect of our lives ,and society, by weaponizing the Warmest meme.

12 years later and this is randomly recommended to me.

„It’s not dangerous to drink 5 liters of vodka in a sitting, people have always drank alcohol and we are still alive“

It’s great to hear some calm common sense for a change.

To give you an idea of how insane some of these people are, back in 2008 they predicted NYC would be underwater by 2015

When you have someone who claims not to worry, but doesn't make a single attempt to rebut any of the evidence, that should be a red flag.

The only thing we know for sure, is that we don't know anything for sure.

The USA, was covered in a glacial sheet of ice across our Northern borders 10,000 years ago. The ice for some reason melted and receded to the north. Those glaciers carved out our Great lakes and their melting filled them with trillions of gallons of fresh water. So the real conundrum is, what made them melt? Who was burning all the fossil fuels that heated up the planet? Or, can we assume these events are cyclical?

Just one example---The GREAT Climate Guru, Al Gore, claimed in 2008, that the Ice cap of the North Pole, would have entirely melted by 2013. The was no noticeable change at all by that date, the opposite in fact. But AL made millions from his Book sales, and won prizes too.

You should have the decency to give recognition to Richard Lindzen.

Hmmm, if someone is introduced as an "MIT scientist", but his name is not given, I am already questioning the content

Al Gore lives in a Ocean side Mansion, he is not a true believer........Let us Pray!

Time has a way of letting truth become more obvious.

When an expert in zip spouts on about Globull Boiling he should be taken to court for Child Abuse.

completely correct, how can people comment with 'surprised this has not been removed' ? Don't shout with a statement, but tell me WHY it should have been removed, tell me WHY he is wrong. DISCUSS, don't just shout, if you know better than explain why he is wrong. In the majority of those comments there are no arguments being shown, it's just shouting, senseless expressing themselves.

This video is 11 years old, and time is proving him right on his way of thought.

A fantastic 5 minute talk. I wish more people would have his calm, scientific attitude. And his comments about how all research is funded by the government should start a very interesting conversation about how we can try to decouple politics from science.

Lindzen also has said that smoking only has a weak link to lung cancer. Way to go, Dick!

This Man is talking as if he has a patent of the truth.... where as scientist have the difficulty of trying to find proof for their theories.... but what they often come up with is a revelation of the true nature of things... but if you want to know everything before taking magers, is like waiting to act until you opend Pandora's box before taking danger seriously

Very wise thoughts that will no doubt be ignored by mainstream media.

Here are the Takeaways: 1. "The temperature of the earth is always changing. It's always going up or down." Which is why they had to change the Boogeyman from "The Coming Ice Age!" and "Global Warming!" to "Climate Change!" And yes, the exclamation points are part of the logos. 2. "By asking people to worry about whether it's going up or down you are immediately establishing dishonesty." 3. "The climate is always changing. It's nothing you have to prove. It always is happening. It's always has happened." Climate change is nothing new or unique or even alarming. 4. "So to make that [climate change] into something alarming seems a little bit weird." 5. "The trouble is, all of us scientists are government employees. Even if we're working for private universities. All research is supported by the government. As such, we are very sensitive to what politicians say and believe." 6. "You know when you hear a scientist say, "The science is settled," you know that person has stepped out of the science." 7. "How could do many people agree if it wasn't true," I think should be a red flag." 8. When it's conflated, "Temperature is changing. Climate is changing. Man played some role... With predictions of disaster that are clearly not connected to warming activities or anything else, leaving people with the thought that off the first part is true the second part must be true, is certainly not the case." 9. "Then to add insult to injury, to propose policies that would have nothing to do with any of it, but involve trillions of dollars in harm to many people, I think, is crossing over the line."

My mom told me as a young person, “Don’t simply take the word of your teachers, be inquisitive do your own research, examen the facts if they seem overstated”. Well mom that’s exactly what I did, geological history tells the story truthfully, not overstated as it now is . Simply another political fear tactic.

Nobody is questioning the human overpopulation of the world which drives up industrial production and settlement in fragile areas. Even if humans are not responsible for global warming, our predatory behaviour harms a lot of other species. And we waste a lot. That should be addressed.

"Is the temperature increasing or decreasing.... it's always doing one or the other"...... EXACTLY!!!

This man needs to be interviewd on fox news IMMEDIATLY

I watched this video because I try to avoid confirmation bias. He said the earth is always changing, can't argue with that. You still need to take those changes into account.. If you own a home in the desert and your well goes dry it does not matter if the cause is natural, man made or little green men came down from Mars and took your water in the middle of the night your well is still dry.

100% truth. I DLed the video before YT deletes it.

Ahhh he was wrong, THE WORLD IS ON FIRE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A truther. You can tell. He's speaks in calm, measured tones. On it goes...the Awakening.

If only more people were subjected to this common sense, maybe we could end this global hysteria about global warming.

He casts doubt on everything, impugns motives, and closes with policy changes will hurt people. The status quo would be a solution to data that shows status quo. It doesn't.

Whenever i hear a politician talking about global warming, the first question that comes to mind is, what is the temperature of the earth supposed to be? Like this guy pointed out, the planet’s temperature has changed over its existence. Which temperature is ‘right’?

Finally some honesty about the situation. We’re being duped by our own governments. Goes for the COVID response as well.

It’s shocking that this video has been allowed to be on the internet for 11 years, and hasn’t been censored by the left.

People in fear don't think clearly. Peace comes by knowing truth and sharing love through forgiveness.

souns even more actual than 12 years ago

Who cares if it is true or false let's clean up the planet.

in the 70's scientists claimed we were heading for another ice age because of global temperatures dropping

It would be nice to have open discussions about this subject. It's a sensitive subject which shouldn't be politicized imo

The atomic number of Oxygen is 8. The science is settled

It's hard to tell what's true in this situation, but we can't forget about pollution. Pollution is also an important issue!

Climate change is real. It always has existed and it always will. We have droughts, floods, bad winters with a lot of snowfall and mild winters. Same with every other season. It is the natural order of things.

Wrong. He forgot to mention that peer reviewed papers exist 🤦‍♂️

Back when dissenters were still allowed to voice their opinion.

worry is interest paid on trouble that has not occurred ;-)

WE'RE ARRRRRL DOOOOOMED. As Private Fraser would have exclaimed.

This should be showed everywhere as its still relevant now as these psychopaths are terrorising years young

The algorithm needs to stop pushing this video

And here we are, 12 years later, and you can still get a 30 yr loan on a waterfront property in Florida. If the banks were actually worried about impending sea level rise they’d never give out those loans.

RU-vid working hard with their little global warming disclaimer up above.

I worry that this video has too little views

We only live between ice Ages!

Thank you RU-vid for providing context 😉

Thank you I needed to hear that I hear the sky is falling so many times a day it's crazy.

He is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

Thank you for bringing reason and civil discourse to this topic

He is 100% right and after 9yeas more and more think like him

It's so sad that such an educated person can make such an ignorant claim.

"the situation is catastrophic but not serious" ~Slavoj Zizek

the man has a nice way of talking

People have been made to fear change rather then accepting that everything is constantly changing.

In über 200 Beiträgen hat sich Prof. Lindzen seit Jahrzehnten mit Witterung und Klima beschäftigt. Er weiß, wovon er redet.

Accidental ASMR video right here.

Finally some common sense about our climate. Great video without the wild-eyed hysteria!
