We only have data for the past couple hundred years not even knowing if their instruments were accurate. People are profiting off unknown data and taking things to the extreme when an astroid could strike any day and reset everything anyway. Earth and space will correct everything in time

Maxx Well Being June 25, 2022 at 6:30 pm

Well..I find it odd that the obvious heat source might be the sun and no one is taking about it.. It's cyclical…every 11 years up…then down confirmed by satellites….climate has become political….the real scientists know that the main cause of the Earth's warming is from the Sun… Not Co2 levels…this is a Nonsense video… look up the Wilson data…

Talisman Skulls June 25, 2022 at 8:13 pm

This ignores the faxct there is also a spike in temperatures on other planets as well. Explain that because this Greenhouse Gas bit as human caused is also false.

Burnout Advice June 27, 2022 at 3:59 am

Oops you forgot about water vapor as the major greenhouse gas . And oceans take 100s of years to warm

Alexar June 30, 2022 at 6:00 pm

Earth has changed its climate for billions of years before humans where around. Now days you don't know what Scientists to believe as they can be payed to say anything.

Deon de Swardt July 1, 2022 at 10:46 am

Earth hasn't warmed since 1998. Whether there's warming or cooling, human activity has no influence on Earth's changing temperatures. The world's leading solar physicist, Valentina Zharkova, has shown over and over again, that the sun drives Earth's temperature, and says that it is profoundly arrogant to claim that humans are more powerful than the sun.

If the sun vanishes today, then Earth will immediately begin freezing and everything will die, and no amount of electric cars and burping cows will stop the ensuing apocalypse. In other words, the slightest fluctuations on the sun influence Earth's climate.

In other other words, you and I are not to blame for the melting of polar ice.

Derek Lawrence July 3, 2022 at 5:10 am

atta boy, looking out the window and predicting the weather. We know nothing about the weather…let alone how the big red ball that warms us. Good job making man the bad guy. How about looking at the prehistoric levels of temperature. Oh wait, we did not have thermometers thousands of years ago…try again sport!

RGG67 July 3, 2022 at 5:21 pm

Where is all the funding coming from.
1930's was far hotter.

RiceCake3000 July 7, 2022 at 1:14 am

Some of these comments did not age well. Guess a plus is only HALF of the Great Barrier Reef is bleached (dead) due to climate change. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And in the past five years the oceans haven’t flooded the world.
Glass half full

NorthEastRiot - Calvin Cline July 7, 2022 at 9:30 pm

The Sun has not been decreasing in activity…it’s solar cycle 25 and it’s been more active than 24. It’s been increasing since the Carrington Event.

Global warming is caused by natural cycles due to solar activity. The more Söl wakes up the hotter it’ll get.

Suzanne Rutherford July 8, 2022 at 6:44 pm

They pay these people to do these things people know that climate change is real they don't know how to handle the reality of it.

Suzanne Rutherford July 8, 2022 at 6:45 pm

I really hope on a spiritual level bad s*** happens to tis guy because you're putting lies out into the world when ppl need to be getting it together.

Cecil Ordono July 9, 2022 at 5:48 pm

Science is not absolute, nothing is absolute.

Fred Harvey July 9, 2022 at 7:58 pm

False presumption: that the earth is warming.

Bob Stud July 10, 2022 at 1:03 am

Be smart. Would u climate extremists shut the F-UP. You are obsessing over a 100 year temperature model that conveniently fits your alarmist narrative. You fail miserably at mentioning the Milankovich Cycle and the historically repeating ice-ages. The Earth has continuously been heating up and cooling off for millions of years and yet somehow humans evolved to where we are today.

Jason July 10, 2022 at 1:29 am

why dont you call it global warming? when you say climate change it makes me think that you're a stupid democrat. besides, all the "science" that you reference is mere conjecture.

Rok July 10, 2022 at 5:13 pm

Yes. Politics say ahem excuse me Scientists say…

Sule Gaming and stuff July 12, 2022 at 5:01 pm

So its as i suspected. Too many variables to blame it on just a handful of reasons.

Grace Jeffrey July 13, 2022 at 3:15 pm

This video was just a big nothing burger. Wish I could get those minutes back.

Thomas Harley July 15, 2022 at 6:54 pm

NASA chem-trails have nothing to do with trapping heat, right? they are just spreading harmless nano, neuro toxins & viruses i guess you'd say

Albert Pacaj July 16, 2022 at 1:05 pm

that is a sing that Europe must leave this planet

Mary Patten July 17, 2022 at 1:29 am

yes. look at the moss breaking down rocks into carbon washing into the oceans. thus causing the oceans to warm and slow their current flows. which by the way. cools the earth.
Fact. when the ocean warms to a point it stops moving due to carbon in the water. we are done. k poot

Geoffrey Hillend July 17, 2022 at 10:28 pm

Simply answers are for simpletons and individuals who lack any knowledge of science and physics. The idea of climate change is supported by physics which is complicated and there is a huge amount of physics which includes not just meteorology and climatology, but geology, chemistry, geochemistry which is both geology and chemistry, atomic physics, spectroscopy, quantum field theory, oceanography, astrophysics and more. Shifting scales and cherry picking data are for simpletons.

Geoffrey Hillend July 17, 2022 at 10:31 pm

This idea assumes that we don't know what our climate is and the past climate and there is nothing abnormal about today's weather. Scientists know what our past climate is for millions of years and not just 100 years.

Simon Peter's Teachings July 18, 2022 at 8:54 pm

"Cutting down the trees make the Earth cooler"… Alright cool down there cowboy. The dense forestation combined with water flow (rain and natural rivers etc) is what cools the earth… And obviously the ices slowly melting and freezing sit was doing… Then it changed because of our pollution but we are in denial like junkies… We are also p*ssies that turn away from truths we are afraid of… We are the white blood cells of earth and we have an auto immune disorder. The reason the earth is heating up and dying is ONLY because of us. Earth was/is in balance – we are NOT…… "Be smart"… More like trying super hard to sound smart.

Roland Kinzer July 19, 2022 at 8:04 pm

Of course the science shows that it has been getting warmer over the past 100 years. This is however not "proof" that it is (entirely) caused by humans. CO2 curves correlating to tempereture curves do not "prove" that the increased level of CO2 in the atmosphere is the cause of it. You can also look at a graph showing the growth of telephone lines and mobile phones and it would correlate to the temperature curve. Does that mean phone lines/connections cause the temperature increase? Of course not. You can say
– to the best of our knowledge, CO2 is the likely cause of the temperature increase. But saying that this IS the cause is not scientific.
– it could still be another cause which we don't know yet.

The scientist "consensus" is that CO2 emissions cause the average temperatures to rise, however, there used to be times where the scientific consensus was that the universe is static, then the universe was expanding, then it was oscillating, now its expanding with acceleration…

By saying that a current consensus of "most" (that means not all) scientists means that its the truth and a fact, is simply unscientific and not true.

The climate is very complex, there could be other causes and we should not be so religious about CO2 and let other people say their arguments for other theories. Once there was a guy called Gallilei, he opposed the consensus that planets and the sun go around the earth….. And turns our he was right.

Welcome to 2022…

pumpkin conkers July 20, 2022 at 11:20 am

i'm an environmentalist but i don't bite into this whole climate change thing.. if it was a real issue than why didn't they start doing something about the problem back in the 70's/80's/90's when they were going on about the hole in the ozone layer?
This whole climate change thing is a means to control the masses or to cover up the fact that the corporate business owners (like Bill Gates) are fracking up the ecosystem and the earth and trying to pass the blame on to the average ordinary people

J. J. Acosta July 20, 2022 at 10:33 pm

0.20 " 2015 Hotest year since 1880" So the were climate change and global warming in 1880?. Morons

schoolofthought edudotcom July 21, 2022 at 10:37 am

Second sun coming in. Red dragon two 👀 red hot.

Dean Chamblin July 21, 2022 at 1:29 pm

The BIGGEST green house gas out there is WATER VAPOR, funny how they didn't mention that. Also the UHI Effect is not considered, when you took temperature measurements at an airport or any location back in the at least first half of the 20th century there was likely no asphalt or much concrete in the vicinity, so comparing temperatures to back then is a joke. They keep having to adjust the adjust of temperatures in the past to as they say, "hide the decline."

Phillip Shrader July 21, 2022 at 3:57 pm

While I can completely accept that we are contributing to polluting and corrupting this world with unnatural things, I still say these people who claim to wanna "save the world" with environmentalism and "going green" ste really just wanting to keep the environment stable enough for our survival…Once we have rendered the planet unlivable for us, we'll eventually become extinct or leave the planet and it will live on and repair itself.

Delimon007 July 21, 2022 at 6:39 pm

You should correct this video, volcanoes release far more CO2 than humans do. CO2 is not visible to the eye and most volcanoes are not above land but UNDERWATER! You learn that in F'in middle school. Humans are responsible for about 4% of the CO2 released on earth. We are not even remotely responsible for climate change. What we ARE responsible for, however, is the pollution of the environment itself ie. the soil, rivers/water, pollutants in the air itself, etc.

SimplyHuman July 21, 2022 at 9:47 pm

Yes. Just make up a baseline and go from there lol

Bill James July 22, 2022 at 10:06 pm

yes, it isn;t magic, its bullshit. But, just in case, the Be Smart guy and those who believe as he does should drastically reduce their "carbon footprint". Problem solved.

NightUniverse July 23, 2022 at 11:40 am

Solar Activity causes Climate Change, not man made activity.

See what David Icke has to say.

NightUniverse July 23, 2022 at 11:42 am

What about the 1400 Medieval warming period, when the globe was hotter than today without any man made CO2?

TA KH July 23, 2022 at 11:44 am

nothing
the planet was much warmer in the past.
in Medieval planet earth was much much warmer than now

Sybil Defense July 24, 2022 at 12:07 pm

%100 of climate change scientists are paid by the Government (to find a reason to charge C taxes)

Andy McCann July 24, 2022 at 9:55 pm

I used to believe it but no more, sorry

Sanjeev Kumar July 25, 2022 at 11:11 am

1 kg meat is produced by 10 kg grains it's a waste of resources and cause of climate change.. animal farming is shameful for a human being

Randall Lederman July 25, 2022 at 4:25 pm

So 150 years on a planet that’s been around billions you call that data!!We had the lowest co2 levels that if it went any lower plants would have died. Question who is funding you? I’m enjoying the heat

Dede smith July 26, 2022 at 9:37 am

How about fertilizer from Russia was it doctored with soil from chiignoble.fertilizer gets hot and it's been spread across the world.oil underground combined with fertilizer above could create heat
evaporating lakes lots of places have done increased agriculture during covid more need for fertilizer.fertilizer headed toAfrica was held up in a lebonen port it blew up the whole port and all of the containers.if drugs where in there with fertilizers maybe they got to hot.ergo chernobale

latitude July 26, 2022 at 6:02 pm

Seas release co2 when they get warm and can absorb more gases when cold. Earth wobbles and this changes our weather and sun spots also have effects. Humans can not effect the earth. It is simply too big. Volcanic action is many many times bigger than even 20yrs of human activity of co2 production.

Ron Paris July 29, 2022 at 3:03 am

How far has the earth tilted from its axis since 1930 until today? What has happened to the temperature of Venus and Mars over the same period? Has the temperature of those planet’s increased percentage wise as earth has? How do you explain that? Man made climate change evidence is nonsense that is not based in conclusive science. Be truthful please.

Cause of warning? Climate models……!

TheRealJukebox August 5, 2022 at 2:47 am

THEY WOULD "NOT" HAVE CLUE! ARROGANCE & MONEY CONTROLS THE SCIENCE!
WHILE SUN & THE SOLAR SYSTEM LAUGHS AT THEIR RIDICULOUS THEORIES!
CARBON IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE PLANET EARTH!
SO! HOW DO WE STOP THE CLIMATE CHANGE NUTTERS AND TAKE THESE LYING POLITICAL, GLOBALIST, ELITIST CLIMATE CHANGE CON ARTISTS TO COURT???
FOR GAWD’S SAKE!
WE TURN ON THE NEWS AND WE GET ALL THIS GLOBALIST TWADDLE ABOUT RAISING HOUSES UP BECAUSE THE SEAS ARE RISING!
ENOUGH! WITH THE RUBBISH ABOUT THE SEAS RISING!
THEY ARE “NOT” RISING!!!
(AND “SURPRISE! SURPRISE!” THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL DOUBLE THEIR PRICES RELATING TO COASTAL PROPERTIES AND PROPERTIES IN FLOOD AREAS!)
BUT! LET’S NOT FORGET THE OTHER BIG CON JOB:
THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY, ANTI CARBON&CO2 MONEY STEALING, POWER & CONTROL CARBON CREDIT SCAM!
(And! Let’s Attack EVERY GAS we can think of as well to Promote our SCAM!)
THIS MASSIVE CORRUPTION CONTINUES IN SPITE OF:
(1) THE ARCTIC HAVING JUST HAD THE COLDEST SUMMER IN MANY YEARS!
(2) THE SEAS ARE “NOT” RISING! (I have many links to massive proof of that!)

The Best learning Effort August 8, 2022 at 3:22 am

I dreamed that all nations would become one nation. If there was one nation, the world would have developed much faster than today.

I would like to present to you the new inventions made by the information obtained from the research and the information obtained through various means. A new long-term useful energy source and invention has been discovered for the reduction and prevention of the earth's atmosphere and temperature increase, the process of snow melting in the northern hemisphere, drought, increase in seawater, depletion of the ozone layer, and other phenomena.

Reducing natural disasters on the earth, protecting the earth's atmosphere, new energy and a multi-purpose is a new discovery. With its multi-utility, it is possible to solve the problems of the future by solving the current problems of the earth and protecting the entire human race, animals, and plants.
