The ice core surveys in Antarctica show a correlation between carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature, but the relationship is more complex than Al Gore suggests. The data reveals that temperature increases precede rises in CO2 levels by about 800 years. This indicates that temperature changes drive CO2 changes, not the other way around. Furthermore, carbon dioxide is a natural gas produced by all living things, and humans contribute only a small fraction of it compared to sources like volcanoes, animals, bacteria, and the oceans. The oceans, in particular, play a significant role in CO2 emissions and absorption, with warmer temperatures leading to more CO2 production. Earth's long climate history does not support the idea that CO2 determines global temperatures.

As a scientist, I emphasize looking at data to understand trends in extreme events and their causes. Historical records show that heat waves and wildfires were more severe in the 1930s than today. There is no long-term increase in hurricanes or global drought. Contrary to popular belief, polar bear populations are growing, and the Great Barrier Reef is thriving. The idea of a climate emergency is refuted by scientific evidence, challenging the narrative of man-made climate chaos. The so-called consensus on climate change is questioned, highlighting the importance of examining data objectively.

Researchers and media often exaggerate environmental crises for funding. Claims of an ozone hole causing skin cancer are refuted by declining chlorine levels. Data shows minimal global warming over the past century, with most temperature rise before 1940. Former NASA and Scripps leaders criticize profiting from climate predictions, warning against unnecessary economic damage.

- Climate change is a fact. - Humans are not causing it. - The cow farts. It's not the cows. - NASA knows this. - Over 90% of the c o two, there is an increase in c o two. - Is there more c o two in the atmosphere now than there was ten years, twenty, fifty, a hundred years ago? The answer is absolutely yes. - Is it a bad thing? The answer is no. - Is it the most we've ever had? We're right about four forty parts per million right now. - The oceans are warming from underneath, not from the top. Warm water holds less gas.

Climate change is a fact, but humans are not causing it. NASA knows that over 90% of the CO2 is coming from the oceans. Is there more CO2 now than ten, twenty, fifty, or a hundred years ago? The answer is absolutely yes. Is it a bad thing? The answer is no. We're right about 440 parts per million right now. In geologic history, Cretaceous and Jurassic were over a thousand parts per million; Triassic, 2,000 parts per million. The earth was lush. CO2 levels and temperatures are not always one-to-one. Where's the CO2 coming from? NASA knows: the CO2 is coming from the oceans warming from underneath. Warm water holds less gas. The oceans are warming from underneath from tectonic processes every twelve thousand five hundred years, beginning in the core and causing more tectonic and volcanic activity, which is exactly what we're seeing.

Climate experts have been making incorrect predictions for decades. In 1969, Paul Ehrlich claimed that everyone would disappear in 20 years, but he is still being cited today. In the 1970s, experts warned of a new ice age caused by air pollution. Leonard Nimoy even made a video about it. However, when the ice age didn't happen, they shifted to global warming. In 1989, a UN official said rising sea levels would wipe out entire nations by 2000. Al Gore also made incorrect predictions in his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." Despite these failures, the media continues to amplify these claims. Climate change is a natural process that we cannot control, and there are both upsides and downsides to it.

They claim oxygen in oceans will deplete by 2030 based on computer models. Climate models show discrepancies between predictions and reality. CO2 emissions have increased exponentially, but Earth's temperature hasn't followed the same trend. The speaker believes the Earth's temperature will eventually decrease due to a La Nina event.

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.

They claim oxygen in oceans will be depleted by 2030 based on computer models with assumptions. Climate models show discrepancies with reality, as CO2 emissions have spiked exponentially while Earth's temperature remains flat for 20 years, except during El Nino events. The recent warming is attributed to El Nino, not long-term climate change.

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.

Professor Yann Clark, a renowned paleoclimatologist, studies temperature variations in the Arctic over hundreds of thousands of years. By analyzing ice cores, they have discovered a surprising relationship between CO2 levels and temperature. The temperature increases first, followed by a rise in CO2 levels, with an 800-year delay. This suggests that temperature changes lead to CO2 increases, rather than the other way around. Multiple studies on ice cores support this finding, contradicting the belief that CO2 causes global warming. These findings challenge the fundamental hypothesis of human-induced climate change.

CO2 levels are often portrayed as dangerously high, but when looking at the Earth's history, they are actually quite low. The current level of 420 parts per million is only one-sixth of the average throughout history. While mainstream sources consider this level alarming, it is important to question what truly constitutes a dangerous level of CO2. OSHA sets danger levels at 8,000 parts per million, while research suggests that plant growth benefits peak at around 1,200 parts per million. In fact, during the last ice age, CO2 levels dropped to near the line of death at 182 parts per million, where plant life cannot survive. Increasing CO2 levels have led to record-breaking crop growth and thriving ecosystems.

Speaker 0 questions what climate catastrophists get wrong about CO2. Speaker 1 argues that more CO2 is good for the world and that reducing CO2 is absurd given other problems and projections of lower costs for renewable energy, which he calls clearly a lie. He explains, as a Princeton professor and climate scientist/physicist, that geological history shows we are in a CO2 famine relative to what is normal for plants. He notes that in his country, many greenhouses double or triple the amount of CO2, and though it’s not cheap, it’s worth investing in because plants grow much better, and the quality of flowers and fruits improves. Outside greenhouses, he says plants benefit as well: with more CO2, in addition to greenhouse gains, there is resistance to drought, which is particularly important in Australia’s arid regions. He claims satellites show Australia as a poster child of the greening of the world, especially Western Australia, and expresses disbelief that CO2—a gas that is fundamental to life—has been turned into a threat and described as carbon pollution. He challenges the framing of the issue by noting that humans are made of carbon and we breathe out two pounds of CO2 a day. He references the global population (about 8 billion) and suggests that some argue “people are the real problem” and that there should not be more than a billion people in the world, remarking that in the room many of them do not constitute seven out of eight to reduce the population. Overall, the speaker presents a counter-narrative: CO2 is beneficial for plant growth and drought resilience, greenhouse and agricultural practices capitalize on higher CO2 levels, and concerns about CO2 as a pollutant are misplaced given the current and historical context of atmospheric carbon and human needs.

Many well-known individuals claim that we are in a climate emergency, but there is disagreement. One person argues that the world has been warming for centuries, even before the use of fossil fuels. They state that there is no evidence linking CO2 increase to rising temperatures, as temperatures were already increasing. They mention a graph from central England, which shows a steady rise of just over 1 degree Celsius in 320 years, suggesting that the current rate of increase is not unprecedented. They also highlight a period from the late 1600s to early 1700s when temperatures rose even faster.

The ice core surveys in Vostok, Antarctica, show a correlation between carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature, but the relationship is more complex than Al Gore suggests. The data reveals that temperature increases first, followed by a rise in CO2, with an 800-year lag. This pattern is consistent across multiple ice core surveys. CO2 is not the cause of warming; rather, it is a product of temperature changes. Additionally, humans contribute only a small fraction of CO2 emissions compared to natural sources like volcanoes and the oceans. The oceans, in particular, have a memory of temperature changes and release or absorb CO2 accordingly. Earth's long climate history provides no evidence that CO2 has ever determined global temperatures.

Climate catastrophes are wrong about CO2; more CO2 is beneficial. Plants thrive with increased CO2, seen in greenhouses and Australia's greening. CO2 aids in drought resistance. People exhale CO2 daily, not a pollutant. Overpopulation, not CO2, is seen as the issue by some.

The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived, with claims of a sixth mass extinction. This video addresses climate change myths, starting with the claim that the Arctic will soon be ice-free. While some scientists predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2030 and the Greenland ice sheet melting could raise sea levels by 22 feet, others argue that Arctic sea ice has stabilized in recent years and returns in winter. Land ice in the Arctic shows minimal decline. Another myth is that polar bears are going extinct. Data indicates their populations have increased, contrary to environmental groups' claims. The third myth addressed is that climate change will create massive global food shortages. Agricultural output is at record highs, and increased carbon dioxide can benefit plant growth. NASA data shows the Earth has significantly greened. While the UN warned of a climate crisis famine in Madagascar, the issues are mostly due to bad governance, not climate change. Despite media claims linking climate change to food shortages and rising prices, global coffee production has increased since the 1990s. The next video will cover myths about infernos and more.

Speaker 0: The first ice core survey at Vostok in the Antarctic found a clear correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature. Speaker 1: Going back six hundred fifty thousand years, the temperature history shows that the relationship is complex, but there is one relationship far more powerful: when there is more carbon dioxide, the temperature gets warmer. Al Gore says the relationship between temperature and CO2 is complicated, but there was something important in the ice core data he failed to mention. Professor Ian Clark notes that the link between CO2 and temperature exists, but the link is the wrong way round. Speaker 2: When examining ice cores, climate on long scales is recorded in geological material. Ice samples use isotopes to reconstruct temperature; the atmosphere imprisoned in ice is liberated to analyze CO2 content. Speaker 0: Professor Clark and others have discovered a link between CO2 and temperature, but the link is reversed. Speaker 2: In the Vostok ice core, as temperature rises from early to later times during a deglaciation, CO2 follows with an eight-hundred-year lag, meaning temperature leads CO2 by about eight hundred years. Speaker 0: Major ice core surveys consistently show that temperature rises or falls, and then after a few hundred years, CO2 follows. Speaker 3: Therefore, carbon dioxide is not the cause of warming; warming produced the increase in CO2. Speaker 2: CO2 clearly cannot be causing temperature changes; it is a product of temperature changes. Speaker 4: The ice core record challenges the fundamental assumption of the theory that CO2 increases in the atmosphere cause warming, showing that the assumption is wrong. Speaker 0: How can higher temperatures lead to more CO2 in the atmosphere? Carbon dioxide is a natural gas produced by all living things. Speaker 5: Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant; living things grow with CO2. Humans produce only a small fraction of atmospheric CO2, in the single digits percentage wise. Speaker 0: Volcanoes produce more CO2 each year than all human sources combined. Animals and bacteria produce about 150 gigatons of CO2 per year, compared with 6.5 gigatons from humans. Dying vegetation, such as falling leaves, is another large source. The biggest source is the oceans. Speaker 6: The ocean is the major reservoir into which CO2 goes when it comes from the atmosphere, or from which it is re-emitted. Heating the surface makes the ocean emit CO2; cooling allows the ocean to dissolve more CO2. Speaker 0: The warmer the oceans, the more CO2 they produce; the cooler they are, the more they absorb. There is a time lag of hundreds of years between temperature change and CO2 change due to the ocean’s huge size and depth, giving the oceans a memory of temperature changes. Speaker 6: The ocean’s memory can extend up to ten thousand years. A current North Atlantic change may reflect events in distant parts of the ocean decades or centuries earlier. Speaker 0: The modern warming began long before widespread use of cars or electric lights. In the past 150 years, temperature rose just over half a degree Celsius, but most of that rise occurred before 1940. Since then, temperature has fallen for four decades and risen for three. There is no evidence from Earth’s long climate history that CO2 has ever determined global temperatures.

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.

According to the transcript, Al Gore correctly stated that there is a link between carbon dioxide and temperature, but he got the direction of the link wrong. Ice core records from Vostok and other major surveys show temperature increases preceding rises in CO2 levels by approximately 800 years. Therefore, CO2 cannot be the cause of warming; rather, warming produces increases in carbon dioxide. This evidence contradicts the fundamental assumption that human-caused CO2 increases drive climate change. Carbon dioxide is a natural gas produced by all living things, and humans only produce a small fraction of it.

"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."

Many well-known individuals claim that we are in a climate emergency, but there is disagreement. One person argues that the world has been warming for centuries, even before the use of fossil fuels. They state that there is no evidence linking CO2 increase to rising temperatures, as temperatures were already increasing. They mention a graph from Central England, showing a steady rise of just over 1 degree Celsius in 320 years, which they believe is not significant. They also dispute claims that the current rate of temperature rise is unprecedented, citing similar rates in the past.

The ice core surveys in Vostok, Antarctica, show a correlation between carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature, but the relationship is more complex than Al Gore suggests. The ice core data reveals that temperature increases precede rises in CO2 levels by about 800 years. This indicates that temperature changes lead to CO2 increases, not the other way around. Furthermore, humans are not the main source of CO2 emissions; volcanoes, animals, bacteria, and the oceans contribute significantly more. The oceans, in particular, have a memory of temperature changes and release or absorb CO2 accordingly. Earth's long climate history does not support the idea that CO2 determines global temperatures.

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.

Twenty years after Al Gore warned of imminent polar melt, the transcript argues that Antarctic sea ice extent is now greater than it was when that claim was made, with satellite records dating back to 1979 showing long periods of stability and even overall expansion. The same pattern is reported in Antarctic wildlife: Gentoo penguins have expanded their range and increased in number, and Adelie penguins also demonstrate long-term population growth. On a global scale, the text asserts that extinction rates are far lower today than a century ago, citing a recent biodiversity study that attributes most species losses to hunting, habitat destruction, and invasive species in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, rather than climate change. The narrative further points to temperature data that allegedly contradicts alarming climate claims: in December 2025, Antarctica was colder than average, and more recently, on January 15, 2026, Concordia Station recorded a low of minus 43.4°C, described as an exceptionally frigid midsummer value for the Antarctic Plateau. The speaker contends that the Doomsday Brigade was wrong in its predictions, asserting there is zero accountability for those forecasts. The overall message contrasts alarmist climate narratives with what the speaker characterizes as evidence of stability or even improvement in Antarctic ice, wildlife populations, and broader extinction trends, while noting unusually cold conditions in specific recent measurements.
