Geologists have been studying climate for centuries, while climate science is a relatively new field. The speaker criticizes climate scientists as obscure and unemployable academics funded by taxes. They argue that evidence from the past shows that the Earth has experienced six ice ages, with periods of ice expansion and contraction. The current interglacial period started 34 million years ago, and during the last interglacial, sea levels were higher and temperatures were warmer. The speaker questions claims of record-breaking temperatures, pointing out that in the past, temperatures have been even hotter. They also mention that we have just come out of a little ice age, so it's not surprising that temperatures have been rising. The speaker dismisses the significance of carbon dioxide emissions, stating that the current levels are low compared to geological history and that reducing it would harm plant and animal life.

For the past 4000 years, the planet has been cooling. In the last 38 years, there has been no temperature change. Over the last 150 years, there have been 3 warming and 3 cooling periods, with a total warmth of 0.6 degrees Celsius. The warming trend began after the Little Ice Age ended in 1850. If measurements start from the Industrial Revolution, warming is observed. However, if measurements start from the medieval or Roman warming periods, cooling is evident. The overall trend has been cooling since those times. So, when someone claims it's warming, ask them since when, as we have been cooling down. Translation: Durante los últimos 4000 años, el planeta ha estado enfriándose. En los últimos 38 años, no ha habido cambios en la temperatura. En los últimos 150 años, ha habido 3 períodos de calentamiento y 3 de enfriamiento, con un aumento total de 0.6 grados Celsius. La tendencia al calentamiento comenzó después de que terminara la Pequeña Edad de Hielo en 1850. Si las mediciones comienzan desde la Revolución Industrial, se observa calentamiento. Sin embargo, si las mediciones comienzan desde los períodos de calentamiento medieval o romano, se evidencia enfriamiento. La tendencia general ha sido de enfriamiento desde esos tiempos. Por lo tanto, cuando alguien afirma que está calentando, pregúntales desde cuándo, ya que hemos estado enfriándonos.

The speaker questions whether the planet is warming and if it should be our main concern. They explain that while temperatures have been unusually high in recent times, this warming trend started over 300 years ago during the little ice age. Proxy data, such as ice core and sediment data, is used to estimate temperatures from hundreds of thousands of years ago. The speaker argues that throughout history, warmer periods, like the medieval warm period and the Roman warm period, were beneficial for humanity and led to flourishing civilizations. They suggest that we should celebrate warming and increasing carbon dioxide levels as they have positive impacts on Earth's ecosystems and human conditions.

The speaker argues that life on Earth is in crisis due to crop failure, social and ecological collapse, and mass extinction, framing these as part of Extinction Rebellion’s climate alarmist narrative and a broader political and financial “climate industrial complex” that aims to control purchases, diet, and travel in the name of sustainability and net-zero emissions. They contend that people rely on governments and the media rather than data, and promise to show that temperatures fluctuate, are not unprecedented, and that natural disasters are not getting worse. They claim climate data is unreliable and that CO2 plays a small role in climate, while presenting scientific evidence that we are not in a climate crisis. Using a 65-million-year temperature graph, the speaker states the Earth today is in a cool period and is coming out of an ice age, noting that life thrived in much warmer times without human CO2 emissions. They assert that over the last two thousand years there have been two warm periods and two cold periods, including the Roman warm period, the cold Dark Ages, the medieval warm period, and the Little Ice Age, with current warming described as a recovery from the Little Ice Age. The three degrees Fahrenheit of warming cited by scientists and the media is described as not unprecedented and not cause for alarm due to ongoing fluctuations. The speaker argues that warming and CO2 emissions have not made natural disasters more frequent or violent, citing hurricane and wildfire data. They reference a graph from the Bulletin of the American Urological Society showing a slight downward trend in US hurricanes per year since 1900, and a North Atlantic hurricane intensity graph from 1920 to 2016 showing no trend. They claim the 2014 US National Climate Assessment presents an illusory upward trend by focusing on a red-highlighted portion. They also claim that US and global acres burned by wildfires have been decreasing since 1900. Regarding data reliability, the speaker highlights a gap between climate model predictions and observed data, noting that temperature measurements from weather balloons align with satellite data, while climate models over-predict warming. They discuss the urban heat island effect, giving Paris as an example where city temperatures are much higher than surrounding rural areas, suggesting data can be biased to frighten the public. The speaker argues CO2 is not the climate control knob, as it is only 0.04% of the atmosphere, and that historical CO2 levels have been far higher than today. They cite MIT oceanographer Carl Wunsch (spelled as Karl Wench) to claim that when oceans warm, more CO2 is released, and when oceans are cold, CO2 is absorbed. A graph is described showing CO2 rising centuries after temperature increases, implying temperature drives CO2 more than the reverse. They acknowledge CO2 may have some small influence but emphasize many other factors—volcanic activity, cosmic rays, and the sun—and claim limiting CO2 would largely stunt biodiversity with little effect on temperature. The speaker argues CO2 is essential for photosynthesis and that farmers use high CO2 in greenhouses to boost crop yields, illustrating CO2 as a life-giving gas and stating it would green the planet and increase food supply if CO2 increases. They conclude that climate change is an existential threat in Western discourse but offer this as historical context from Aztecs to the Salem witch trials. They mention carbon taxes and individual CO2 budgets as signs of climate issues infiltrating daily life and frame their conclusion as pursuing truth by examining data themselves. In summary, the speaker presents historical temperature variability, critiques of data and models, downplays CO2’s role, highlights CO2’s benefits to plant growth, and asserts that the climate crisis is a hoax to be opposed by scrutinizing data personally.

Geologists argue climate for 250 years, dismissing climate science as a new, flawed field. They rely on evidence, not models, pointing out past ice ages and warmer periods. Current temperatures are cooler than historical peaks, with a recent warming trend post-little ice age. The speaker questions the significance of current climate records, emphasizing the Earth's long-term climate fluctuations and the minimal impact of current carbon dioxide levels. They argue that drastic changes in CO2 levels would harm plant and animal life.

Climate is always changing, with measurable changes in temperature and rainfall. The planet has been warming and cooling for 4.567 billion years, and for most of that time, it has been warmer and wetter with higher sea levels than now. Warmings and coolings are driven by the Earth's distance from the sun, which changes due to its orbit shifting from circular to elliptical, its axis changing, and its wobbling. Unless you can change the magnetic fields of the sun or the Earth's orbit, you cannot change the climate. Throughout Earth's history, there have been millions of climate changes, none of which have been identified as driven by changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide. There is no record of carbon dioxide driving climate in the past, so there is no logical reason to think that current climate change is driven by changes in carbon dioxide. The past is the key to the present.

The speaker challenges the idea of man-made global warming, stating that the science behind it is weak and uncertain. They argue that the Earth's climate has always changed throughout history, with periods of both warmer and cooler temperatures. They mention the Little Ice Age in the 14th century, when the Thames River froze over, and the Medieval Warm Period, which was associated with prosperity. They also highlight the Holocene maximum during the Bronze Age, when temperatures were significantly higher for over 3,000 years. The speaker concludes that climate variation in the past is natural.

Over the past 400,000 years, there have been four interglacial periods and four glacial maximums. It takes 80,000 years to transition from an interglacial period to a glacial maximum, but only 10,000 years to come back out of it. The Milankovitch cycle, influenced by the gravity of Jupiter, affects the tilt of the Earth and the shape of its orbit, which in turn impacts temperature. Contrary to Al Gore's claim, CO2 does not cause temperature increase; rather, temperature warming the oceans leads to the release of CO2, while cooling oceans absorb it. The Vostok ice core record shows an 800-year lag between temperature and CO2 changes. Currently, CO2 levels are rising due to human emissions, but it is not causing a corresponding increase in temperature.

The speaker challenges the idea of man-made global warming, stating that the science behind it is weak and uncertain. They argue that the Earth's climate has always changed throughout history, without any help from humans. They mention the Little Ice Age in the 14th century, when the Thames River froze over and ice fairs were held. They also discuss the Medieval Warm Period, a time of prosperity and vineyards in Europe. Going further back, they mention the Holocene maximum during the Bronze Age, when temperatures were significantly higher for over 3 millennia. The speaker concludes that climate variation in the past is natural.

200 years ago, the temperature was only 1.5 degrees Celsius cooler than now, so claiming a 1.5-degree increase will be catastrophic is ridiculous. In the past, temperatures were much higher, yet CO2 levels were decreasing. There is no clear relationship between temperature and CO2 levels based on historical data.

Earth's climate also changes pretty radically over the course of like say ten thousand years. You know, it can shift from being extremely hot to extremely cold. You can really go down a deep rabbit hole if you read about ice ages. That that that how much Earth's climate has changed and even where the where the magnetically where the poles are have has shifted over time. So on the climate change issue, I'm fully convinced. After all these years, even though we may not know exactly what is causing climate change, we suspect it's the sun. We have a lot of evidence to show that it's probably the sun. Very high percentage, you know, like, I would say, 90%, we're sure.

For the past 10,000 years, it has been warmer than today for about 95% of the time. Throughout the Earth's history of 4.65 billion years, there has been substantial ice on the planet for only about 5-10% of that time. Currently, we have low levels of CO2 compared to Earth's history. The carbon dioxide in the room is around 900, but there is nothing bad about it. In fact, the more carbon dioxide, the better.

Ice from the Viking Age, around the year 1000, indicates that Greenland was about 1.5 degrees warmer than today. The Nordgrip project is drilling through the ice sheet to gather a 3-kilometer ice core, which holds climate data spanning over 120,000 years. By inserting a thermometer into the drilled hole, researchers can accurately map historical temperatures, reconstructing the last 10,000 years. Temperature data shows that around 4,000 years ago, it was 2.5 degrees warmer than now, followed by a gradual decline until the medieval warm period a thousand years ago. Other core samples confirm the end of the Little Ice Age about 140 years ago. While there has been a global temperature increase in the 20th century, determining whether this rise is man-made or a natural variation is challenging, as observations began at the coldest point in the last 10,000 years.

The Greenland ice core project, Nordgrip, is reopening to extract the last few meters of ice, which holds crucial climate data spanning over 120,000 years. By drilling the ice core and measuring temperatures with precision, scientists have reconstructed temperature changes over the past 10,000 years. The graph shows that around 4,000 years ago, temperatures were 2.5 degrees warmer than today, but gradually decreased until the Roman age. During the medieval warm period, temperatures reached a peak before declining to the lowest point in the last 8,000 years around 1875 AD. This coincides with the start of meteorological observations. Similar warm and cold periods have been confirmed in other parts of the Northern Hemisphere through carbon dating and measurements. However, it is challenging to determine if the 20th-century temperature increase was due to human activity or natural variation.

Geologists have been studying climate for 250 years, while climate science is a relatively new field. The speaker criticizes climate scientists as obscure and unemployable academics who cost taxpayers a lot of money. They argue that climate models are often incorrect and should be disregarded. The speaker points out that Earth has experienced six ice ages, with periods of glaciation and interglacial periods. They emphasize that we are currently in an interglacial period, which started 34 million years ago, and that temperatures have been both warmer and cooler in the past. The speaker also mentions that we have just come out of a little ice age and that temperatures have been rising since then. They dismiss the significance of carbon dioxide emissions, stating that the current level of 0.04% is low compared to geological history and that reducing it would harm plant and animal life.

Over the past 4000 years, the planet has been cooling down. In the last 38 years, there has been no change in temperature. In the last 150 years, there have been 3 warming periods and 3 cooling periods, resulting in a total warmth of about 0.6 degrees Celsius. The warming after the little ice age in 1850 is expected, and if measurements are taken from that time, we have been warming. However, if measurements are taken from the medieval warming or the Roman warming, we have actually been cooling by about 5 degrees. So, when someone says it's warming, the question to ask is, since when?

Scientists have found a link between temperature and CO2, but it's the opposite of what many believe. In the past, temperature has risen first, followed by a rise in CO2 levels. Ice ages start when CO2 is at its maximum and end when it's at its minimum, contradicting the idea that CO2 controls temperature. Looking back over millions of years, CO2 levels have changed drastically, but they have never driven temperature changes.

The speaker explains the true temperature history, stating that it was warm from 800 AD, cooled down around 1300, and started warming again since 1900, way before CO2 became significant. They criticize Michael Mann's mathematical algorithm, which produced a flat line for temperatures from 1880 to 1980, claiming it is insignificant compared to the actual temperature changes. The speaker points out that the warming started before human-induced atmospheric carbon dioxide became meaningful. They express frustration with the scientific community's lack of questioning and attribute it to funding influences. They emphasize the need for independence in order to speak out freely.

The speaker discusses the manipulation of data regarding hockey stick graphs and climate change. They argue that the hockey stick graph, which shows a sudden increase in temperature after 1950, is false and based on statistical errors. They mention the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period as periods of temperature fluctuations that are visible in other graphs. The speaker claims that the Medieval Warm Period resulted in a prosperous time, with the colonization of Greenland and the cultivation of vineyards.

"The average temperature of the planet does seem to be going steadily upwards." "Since the mid eighties." "It went down in the seventies." "Since then, it's warmed at about a quarter of a degree per decade on average across the last thirty, forty years." "And it's maybe they say it's 1.5 degrees above pre industrial levels now." "So we're not in a period of unprecedented warmth." "We're not in a period of increasing extreme weather." "Floods, droughts, storms, there's no increase in either frequency or severity." "But at the same time, the carbon dioxide we're putting in the air is having a very measurable effect that's beneficial." "There is there is more green vegetation on the planet now compared with the nineteen eighties equivalent to a continent the size of North America that's been added of green vegetation."

We are currently in an interglacial period within an ongoing ice age that started 34 million years ago. The climate fluctuates between cold glaciation and warm interglacial periods, driven by the sun's heat. The distance from the sun determines the temperature, not trace gases. No legislation can alter the Earth's orbit, which will eventually lead us into another cool period. These climate cycles occur every few hundred million, hundred thousand, and few thousand years, influenced by factors such as continental movements, cosmic rays, orbital changes, solar activity, tides, and oceanic patterns. The combination of these cycles can bring about rapid climate changes.

Over the past 4000 years, the planet has been cooling down. In the last 38 years, there has been no change in temperature. In the last 150 years, there have been 3 warming periods and 3 cooling periods, resulting in a total warmth of about 0.6 degrees Celsius. The warming after the Little Ice Age in 1850 was expected, and since then, we have been warming. However, if we consider measurements from the medieval and Roman warmings, we have actually cooled about 5 degrees. So, when someone claims it's warming, the question to ask is, "since when?"

People shouldn't panic about global warming because current changes are normal based on Earth's natural history. Over the last 10,000 years, temperatures have fluctuated by about one degree at the Equator and two degrees at the poles every thousand years. The current rate of rise is about one degree per century, which is not unusual. The IPCC's models are flawed because they assume no natural change. The greenhouse effect is small compared to other atmospheric factors like solar radiation and gravity, with oceans and clouds primarily controlling climate stability. The pre-industrialization period used as a baseline by the IPCC was the lowest point in the last ten thousand years. It is currently one degree above that low but two degrees cooler than the warmest period in the last eight to ten thousand years. During the last interglacial period, it was six degrees warmer, and hippos and elephants lived in England.

A 1.5 degrees Celsius increase in global atmospheric temperature is not a disaster. It's less than the temperature difference between breakfast and lunch and will open up vast areas of farmland. During the Eocene thermal maximum, the temperature was at least 5 to 7 degrees Celsius warmer than now, maybe even more. At the same time, CO2 was going in the exact opposite direction of the temperature. There is no clear relationship between CO2 and temperature.

For the past 4000 years, the planet has been cooling. In the last 38 years, there has been no temperature change. Over the last 150 years, there have been 3 warming periods and 3 cooling periods, with a total warmth increase of 0.6 degrees Celsius. The end of the Little Ice Age in 1850 marked the start of warming. Since then, we have warmed due to the Industrial Revolution. If we measure from the medieval and Roman warmings, we have actually cooled by about 5 degrees each. So, when someone says it's warming, ask them since when?
