    How about some real science? 46 climate scientists formerly with the IPCC .. now speaking against. climatism.blog/2020/03/07/46-statements-by-ipcc-experts-against-the-ipcc/ Note how many former IPCC scientists say that their science is distorted for political reasons. Sometimes .. literally opposite scientific conclusions are reached (sea rise). Bottom line … govts want to tax license and regulate man. To do this … they must assert man is the problem. If man is not .. no taxes and licenses and regulations and money for govt. . What do IPCC scientists say in opposition to IPCC? Global warming? Nope. Ground based sensor network biased upward. Satellite data is clearly better yet ignored. In fact .. we have had global cooling for last 20 years. (perhaps that is why "global warming" became 'climate change' ... which has made people equate something that is normal ... the climate is always changing in short and long cycles .. as something unnatural and man made ... ) CO2 linked to global warming? Nope. Seas flooding islands? Not like they say. Weather more severe than before? Nope All of these claims are refuted with convincing data. Each scientist's credentials and contributing papers are linked. Read a few ... The scientists have no interest in saying these things … quite the opposite … they have likely lost their jobs in standing out. Earth is a self cleansing machine. It'll be here long after we are gone. George Carlin on the environment … funny and informative. ua-cam.com/video/EjmtSkl53h4/v-deo.html Young people are being led by hysterical and unscientific voices which are manipulating them in the name of good (protecting the environment) but the picture they have been sold is simply untrue and is painted for political reasons. So .. believe 46 former IPCC scientists … or a grimacing teenage hand puppet with no scientific degrees or college education. The money we save can feed the hungry, help pregnant moms get prenatal care, provide veterans and elderly with real medical services for low cost Lots of things more worthy than non-science.

It was simply loaded to the youtube site as the original taping date was lost and is no longer in circulation. Video footage is not steady as it was edited differently for TV airing.
