The Age of Stupid revisited: what's changed on climate change? 

Sodthong - TRUTH! I'm def using your quote... Thanks!

Admitting that you have been wrong or fooled is a shitty feeling, that's why most people do what they can to avoid it.

And everyone who thinks we can "do something effective" about climate has been fooled.

@@Bookhermit Oh, we can do something but you won't like it.

@@RedmotionGames do tell?

Ask that little child thunverg if she knows the difference between 'nature' and 'environment'. Tss.

I asked a climate change activist the same thing and got a lot of back pedaling

The politicians know how to scam people so they fund the climate change groups and climate scientist scumbags

And alter them,swap them and pass them onto

I still wear clothes that are over 10 years old.

The companies need to be stopped from producing them. This change can't happen on a consumer end, buying differently doesn't solve it. Even the cheapest items should be made only from reclaimable and biodegradable fibers if we want to protect our environment. And we also need less clothes produced in general.

Impossible when consumerism and materialistic values dominate the social norm. People rely on fashion for the source of confidence, if you dont change the social conditioning nothing will happen and these egregores have been developing since industrial revolution with massive global influence.

Tom Maxwell have you seen a fast fashion haul? Are you aware there are people buying more 10 articles of clothing per week, EVERY week? Are you aware how pollutant the fast fashion industry is? What did people do in the 60s and 70s? How did people survive until fast fashion was invented? Given that humanity has survived for thousands of years without fast fashion, I’d say it’s not a necessity and nobody needs it. There’s a difference between needing and wanting something! Yes, we do need clothing, but does anyone really need new clothing every week? Does anyone really need so much clothing that they have to convert a bedroom into a second closet? I’ve seen too many people both in real life and on the internet whose bedrooms are full to the brim with clothing they only bought because it was cheap. A majority of those clothes are never worn; not even ONCE! If you’d read my comment again, I said “nobody needs mountains of cheap clothing that are worn only once or twice”. Now please enlighten me. Why do you think anyone needs that much clothing? The true Marxist in me would really like to know why anyone needs a house full of cheap clothing.

They are all talk no action. NASA recently released data showing China green area expands significantly as a result of decades long nationwide 🌲 🌲 planting program.

Hmm humans only produce 0.001% of all greenhouse gases , so I think if we ceased all of it today the effect would be...….. Nothing

Humans produce the amount of greenhouse gases that are enough to put the climate system and carbon cycle out of balance. The increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is the responsibility of humans. It is a non-negotiable fact. @@fergusmoffat8926

@@tezzo55 I happen to KNOW there is NO dissociated, human-appealable force. ALL this universe is composed of what seems to be a high dimensional field with random apparent densities appearing to create simply interacting "particles" from which all complexity is built up. When ANY organism with neurons dis-integrates, ALL its sensory and motor capacities cease. This is proven in neuroscience, and observable by the most nonliterate of individuals, when watching the interplay of change and use of what WAS living to become distributed by others (I love, as did the Farsi and Bon, respect the Vultures, who have carried away by greatest beloved, , distributing across the wild landscape. We must also love the tiny short-lived individual microorganisms without whom our very bodies, digestion, skin, could not function.

Mowat used poetic symbol in attempt to express to the dissociated human reading masses. He was enraged and disgusted by human cruelty and psychopathy toward other life, and individuals. He wove fictive imagination with the beautiful world he interpreted. He became an advocate for life, the only life with any evidence of existing, and neither could nor did explore all of it. I've stood and sat among skulls and skeletons changed by atomic and other forces into stone, imagining and using this ephemeral brain to associate with the emotional and sensorily responsive lives I'e been among, to realize that those stone traces ALSO lived in their time each inn a gloriously fulfilling life, whether having massive teeth, far larger than those feared by a social chimp-related primate, of beings with horns evolved to toss and prevail in dispute, and mouths that tore and ingested grass, experiencing emotion, pleasure, developing understanding appropriate to their kind, each forever unique, and due to contingent constraints, mortal.

Megan Arnold could have Climate Change become your religion?

There is not going to be ANY GloBULL warming.

I'm glad you took notice of the environment. You took steps you could to help mother earth. Wholesale the world is going to end in 12 years is a false narrative. There is no penalty or than credibility when they are wrong. What will kill us is pandemic. A killer virus. Billions dead if not everyone. That's what you should be scared of. Really scared.

This hoax has been going on since the 80s

30 years you say? And now our lives are better. The earth is greener. Our life expectancy is higher. So up to now you still do not realise that there is no emergency. That we are wasting money on something that is not true.

And if every person on the globe would follow your example, we'd still have zero effect on global climate. Just think about that. It's staggering.

You're not thick. It's because energy companies don't want to give up the oligopoly status they have in the market for energy supply. So they create industry-led marketing groups to 'lobby' politicians. Therefore, no laws for widespread solar power use get passed. It's sad, really... Imagine how much lower our electricity bills would be if we are feeding energy back into the grid via solar panels?

djn48 No, only half thick. Seriously, Roof top Solar can not be base load power as the stability of the Grid is at risk. It's not just the issues with power factor between the 3 phase in the suburb but the 50/60~ sine wave is corrupted ; that puts at risk, electronic appliances in homes & industry. Intermittent power factor is another issue that Generators must offset and the more Wind or Solar there is - the more it multiplies the problem.

When we start running out of fossil fuels maybe there will be. Until then there is no rational reason to do it, unless the majority starts to believe we were better off during the little ice age with all the witches burned alive, the famines, the awful climate, the racism, the horrific plagues, and so on.

You do realize there’s way more money in this climate change madness for govt agencies, politicians etc than others. You’re talking trillions that will go in some unaccountable govt agency. Don’t be such a sucker. All that money and no proof it will make a bit of a difference in temp over next 100 years.

Now add the thousands of reputable scientist and like minded people coming out with ever growing evidence it was far more poltical agenda scam driven than real objective concern and that at present attempts to implement large scale AE/RE power production are showing to be more problematic than being practical, I have to suspect it only going to get worse for the alarmists side. Then to really add insult to injury the fact that the mass bulk of those in developed nations being blamed the most are being shown to not be the real problem children in which part of this issues is proveably our fault.

@@artm8dk id look at the scientific facts if i was you, earth stopped warming late 90s, its been on a cooling trend since then, and in its current cycle its gone into a grand solar minimum, the sun has 11y cycles however compared to history its last cycle during its warm spell it was 5c lower than its last warm spell, and the one before that! If earths warming explain why the USA & Canada have just shattered records with lows of -35 to -50, the only reason the UK didnt get it is the low over east coast USA pushed that far south it pushed the gulf stream that far south and bounced from the Caribbean basking the UK in a weeks warmth in February. Ironically i remember all the global warming hype from the 80s, yet nothings really changed! Global warming theorist claim the caps are melting and sea levels are rising, yet, theres evidence the caps are growing and look at the amount of reports worldwide the the ocean had reseeded! Research the 1650 munda minimum which last 70y, anythink north of the M4 corridor was in trouble as the ice didn't melt in the summer, 100s of 1000s of our ancestors walked across the english channel and fled to south france, spain, Italy, Croatia & Greece! In some parts of the uk the glaciers where 2-3mile deep, the Thames froze that deep people would have bonfires on the Thames yet it didnt melt it! While many say the GSM will be here by 2022-25, some, including NASA say 2020-21! When was the last time the saudi dessert was battered with snow storms? Dont worry ill wait! The global elite have even changed its agenda from global warming to climate change.. Umm why would they do that! Sorry buddie but i dont believe the story of global warming anymore, not when theres solid evidance that tells were cooling, and like i say, i remember all the hype from the 80s!

@@1arritechno Rose Colored Glasses stuff here.

What a bull, it's fricken renewables which get subsidies you idiot, and making them makes bigger carbon footprint then they save..

Actually the Oil and gas and coal industries do receive billions in subsidies, and renewables like wind get very little. Of course wind is now down to 6 cents / kw and coal(if the sulphur, lead, mercury, etc. . . is removed) costs 5 cents / kw so they're very close at this point. As for their creation generating carbon, this is proven false because as more renewables come online then the energy used in creating the wind turbines becomes cleaner and cleaner until it is 100% clean energy. I don't understand why people get so angry about this stuff, after all there will be little to no effect on you, unless you have tens of millions of dollars and are one the people who will get a tiny tax increase.

oldgranny athlete I agree, they look like sleek modernized windmills. Complaining about them just on the basis appearance seems ridiculous to me. That's like complaining about above ground power lines. Sightly or not, would you rather not have them at all?

@Louise Messidor well youd have you have wind turbines covering the half the size of the uk to equal the power of a few nuclear plants, solar and wind are not the answer we can only do this with nuclear we have to fight this stigma

The sub-perceptible noise frequency they emit have been found to cause contstant low level stress responses in those living near them , and they are wiping out bird populations , not that good

Fergus Moffat true, but my whole point was that those who object to them because it ruins their views doesn't make sense. Anyway, many birds are also being killed of by climate change, so adding wind turbines mightn't do that much worse

Stupid kids forget, that Al Gore said it would never snow after the year 1999. Kids are so dumb. They fall for every tax and scam.

And yet saving lives is our #1 priority....how well is that going to work out?

@@ProteusTG 5,000,000,000 years from now according to astronomers.

Over population is not the problem, we could easily host 30 billion people on earth, and it wouldn't even seem crowded. Did you know we have a glut on food right now, so much so it is hurting the economic development of many third world countries by undercutting their domestic agriculture industries? And if we killed off 90% of the earths people, we'd still be heading toward global warming unless they shut down their coal plants and replace them with renewables. And seeing as how we are going to need to build carbon capture devices then it only makes sense that the more people we have the more production capacity we have the better off we'll be.

We need to leave room for other species. Loss of habitat is growing. The oceans are full of plastic. We need to reduce population to about 0.5 billion for sustainability.@@tidbit1877

Fully agree.

Carbon capture technologies don't really exist and by no means in the dimensions we would need them. We just can act now

@@jeetkune2319 they do just look up what Bill Gates are doing, butbwe need to scale it up yes

@@0dyss3us51 the problem is the same thing that brought us into this mess in the first place. First of all to say that they exist, but need to be scaled up to a global level. Is the same thing as saying : we are able to reach the moon. Everybody can visit the moon soon. And secondly : nobody knows what insane side-effects will kick in when we use any of these technologies on a planetary scale. (just like the whole civilization pumping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere for 100 years straight btw... Same thing...)

​@@jeetkune2319 It's not a binary. Putting some NOTT-202 'carbon-capture trees' up in a particular city in a basin with not a lot of air movement, we could more readily test the air in that area to see if it was reducing in CO2 and look at what other impacts that has. Or how about testing the air quality with that Gallium process that turns CO2 to a solid coal-like substance? It's really not that difficult to take things that we know work on a small scale and devise methods to test it at the middle scale before it goes global. There's a lot of things we could test. Actually I'll take a step back from my original statement, there is one binary: Act or Die. Doing nothing isn't an option, not a real one. We know what will happen if we don't act, we will die. The possible consequences of trying to act are (and I can't overstate this) Profoundly Unlikely to be more dire than the current trajectory of mass extinction. How we act still isn't a binary, but the choice of if we want to live is. If we are to survive, even if we make mistakes, we must act now.

Yet they all use the fossil fuels to create their placards and play on their phones. If you want change, start with yourself. You have to change your own habits first, like switch to a electric company that uses green energy, don't drive as much, only by things that are needs and not wants.

Who is to gain from climate change - seriously why would the worldwide scientific community make it up? Maybe it's a marxist plot to overthrow western capitalism, although as an anarcho-com myself i'm offended that they've been plotting the revolution without me.

@@AMOW42 It's not science, it's a political movement even if some scientists are part of it. They're not infallible.

None of the prophecised desasters ever materialised. Wanna bet what'll be the outcome this time? Besides the fact that children are being indoctrinated to march for a cause of grown-ups is disgusting.

a-m w there have been decades of failed predictions of doom, however climate scientists need to protect their ever decreasing credibility so the fudging of data is occurring on their part . Firstly fudging algorithms have been used on raw historical temperature data to make it appear cooler in the past so that it looks like temperature are rising more than they are. Secondly climate models used assumptions and coefficients to produce outputs. Now when well known climatologists like Judith Curry have run these models with more realistic assumptions and coefficients the predicted temperature change due to increased CO2 levels result in predicted temperature increases 3 times lower than that of Current official predictions.

No, the observations are actually perfectly in range with the expectations.

They are also the ones that vote for increases in education funding. Too late for you but maybe the next generation will benefit.

TheHealthPhysicist Not true. Global warming was found to be false and emails were discovered of these scientists fudging the numbers to secure their jobs. The truth was that the temperature had been dropping for about a decade. (This was big news only about 10 years ago. I’m not sure how you missed it). This movement was forced to drop the “global warming” name and they quickly brought up a new dilemma. “Climate change”. Sometimes things are cold and sometimes they’re hot. I’m not sure why that’s a crisis?

Global warming might be real but it wasn't warming fast enough to keep people on the hook, so the more vague 'climate change" can be asserted without having to rely on any evidence at all. Now you have climate change doomsayers warning of 'apocalypse'. Where have we heard that before?

No, the terminology hasn't changed. Global Warming is the rise in (moving) average global temperature and Climate Change is the resulting effect. Btw; no the emails did not reveal scientists colluding, no one is denying climate changes - it's why it's changing that's important and there is a huge body of evidence to support the case for global warming and climate change. Even though it's freely available, few people bother to check the source instead of reading blogs (who didn't check it either). Opinions on this don't matter, not even those of climate scientists. All the counts are the results of climate research and those results show humans are causing a forcing event that will trigger a feedback cycle. If you don't understand what that means, find out.

@@evanu6579 utter nonsense. The two phrases have both been used in scientific papers since the 1970s. Global warming drives climate change. In 1988 the IPCC was set up. It wasn't named the IPGW, idiot.

Its not a delusion, it's a lie. They know it and are just tryna make money off windmills and solar.

@@mrtrashcompaktor1540 there's a difference between delusion and keeping an open mind. I would argue that these people closed their minds to being wrong a long time ago.

@@catalyst6313 How far back do you want to go ? 1824 French mathematician Jean Baptist Joseph Fourier publishes a paper outlining what will later be known as the greenhouse effect. 1859 British scientist John Tyndall discovers that some gases block infrared radiation, concluding that slight changes in atmospheric composition can significantly alter the Earth’s surface temperature. 1896 Using pencil and paper calculations (because the calculator hadn’t been invented yet) Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius derived that a doubling in atmospheric carbon dioxide would produce a warming effect between 2.5 and 4.0 degrees Celsius, a predication that still seems pretty accurate today. 1900: Global sea level rises over 1.0 inch 1910: Atmospheric CO2 levels reach 300 PPM, matching the highest recorded historical 1938 British engineer Guy Callendar links rising carbon dioxide levels to observable climate change. 1956 Canadian physicist Gilbert Plass warns that the warming caused by increased carbon dioxide levels will likely result in negative consequences for the planet. 1957 Roger Revelle, the oceanographer famous for being Al Gore’s professor at Harvard, testifies before Congress on the dangers global warming. 1960: World population reaches 3.0 billion 1962: Atmospheric CO2 levels reach 320 PPM 1965 President Johnson becomes the first American president to mention climate change in a speech to Congress. 1965 The President’s Science Advisory Committee publishes a study that warns of the dangers of rising carbon dioxide levels. 1970 Under President Nixon the United States celebrates its first Earth Day, Congress passes the Clean Air Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are both created. 1972: Global sea level rises over 5.0 inches 1975: World population reaches 4.0 billion 1975: Average global temperatures are about 0.2 degrees Celsius hotter than the pre-industrial era 1977 President Carter creates the Department of Energy (DOE), which advocates for climate change research. 1979 The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) releases a report on the dangers of rising carbon dioxide levels. 1981 President Reagan initiates a period of reduced government spending, stalling federally funded environmental programs. 1981 Both the EPA and NAS release reports arguing for the importance of addressing the problem of climate change. 1986: Average global temperatures are about 0.4 degrees Celsius hotter than the pre-industrial era 1987: World population reaches 5.0 billion 1988 The UN General Assembly passes a resolution establishing the IPCC 1989 Using tactics similar to those used by the tobacco industry to deny the link between smoking and cancer and by the aerosol industry to deny the link between CFCs and ozone-depletion, the fossil fuel industry creates a number of organizations to publicly challenge the soundness of climate science. 1992 The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) is presented at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit; because of opposition from the United States, the language of the UNFCC is highly ambiguous and completely toothless. .....

@@nixsoothingmusic Oh yes they did. Mojib Latif, a German climate scientist, predicted around 2000 that children of the future would not know what snow is.

@@xaverlustig3581 He said IN 2000 that children in 20 years - so 2020 - would not see winters with "strong frost and a lot of snow."

@@auralit3624 You misremember :) He said "At our latitudes there won't be winters with strong snow or frost, like 20 years ago" (therefore referring to 1980ish). He remained vague at what time his prediction would come true.

@@xaverlustig3581 oh, I just looked it up on Wikipedia, haha! But even if one climate scientist estimates incorrectly, I don't see how it discredits global warming as a whole? If he were the ONLY climate scientist it would, but there are tons of them!

@@auralit3624 It shows that some of the more extreme doom and gloom predictions are rubbish, even when coming from "experts". It shows that the whole narrative should be taken with a huge pinch of salt. It doesn't refute the global warming scare as such, because it's unfalsifiable. But then the burden of proof is on those who claim it's all true and demand to spend billions on it. They've certainly failed there.

Defend Liberty both acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer was dealt with. Legislation was passed, regulations set in place, and the problem was eventually mitigated. Maybe time to do the same about ghg?

There were no negative effects from the scares you mentioned because WE as humanity decided to do something about it like banning CFC's for the ozone. Seriously dude, educate yourself before making comments on RU-vid.

IF

Hes correct though the solar activity has energetic influences that are in the region of millions of times higher than greenhouse gases , a 2016 study found that temperature and solar activity were basically flawlessly correlated but C02/temperature is only loosly correlated with huge flaws in the correlation. Humans only contribute 0.01% of all greenhouse gases if we stopped them all now it probably would make no difference at all .Were about to enter a maunder minimum probably 4 times colder than the mini ice age in 2020 , its about to get really really cold , not warmer@@TubeWusel

All of mankind is just an insignificant fuzz on this huge planet. We don't have much affect on the climate. But there is tons of money at stake to keep this scam going.

Not anymore solar, hydro and wind energy together with the possibility of storing created energy on a large scale should be enough. Ofcourse that can´t happen over night but over 20 years I think it´s plausible.

@@Freedyfilms Go Nuclear or Give Up. Renewables can't meet current energy requirements, nevermind future ones.

@@Freedyfilms "should be enough' won't cut it. Sober analysis by people who know what they are talking about make the case pretty clear. Nuclear or catastrophic climate change. Those are the options. Solar, wind etc should be rolled out too, but they cannot do the job without nuclear. Germany's energiewend is laudable but it hasn't done the job. Sweden and France produce half the per capita emissions of Germany and the reason is they deployed nuclear large scale.

what planet are you living on?

Why do you think it is a lie, random outbursts of anger against opposing arguments is useless and irritating. If you are younger than 10 its ok, otherwise please learn ho two state arguments and prove what you are saying.

For the Future Where have you been? The ice caps are GROWING. Latest numbers say the climate has not changed in 10,000 years. To people like you I would say... find the founder of Green Peace Patrick Moore and show him proof of any climate change and he will make you rich. He has core samples for the last 10,000 years and has studied them more than anyone else has. He offers a reward for even proof of storms getting worse. Because they aren't he says. And he can prove it. What proof do you have? Please... show me. How about that list of 97% of scientists who say global warming is real? No one can find ANY of them, but if you can please post the list.

The intellectuals who popularized the fear of government in the 70s and 80s supported fascist dictatorships. Just look at the comments around Pinochet made by Hayek or Friedman. You've been taught not to think. Also I know what you're gonna say. "B-but V-Venezuela!" or "B-but One hundred m-million!" hahhahahahahahaha.

Give up your freedom to pollute.. yes. Do you understand where we are at? Now that we see both sides, what are you willing to do. Wait and see in 6 years. It's going to be too late

NO dude, The solution is to do nothing and let the human race die off.

@@Eidelmania unfortunately it won't be just us, we're taking a lot of species with us

That's not necessary for tackling the problem of global warming, although obviously there must be cooperation between world governments.

Why would you suppose that was our fault? Climate changed over millions of the years on its own and so far we had at least 5 mass extinctions over hundreds of million years. But if Canada get tropical climate, that means that USA and half of the Europe will become deserts. And all of that will be OUR fault.
