We don't have a climate dilemma we have an out of control politicians spending our money dilemma
I agree. Green is a “deal”. And they are creating a lot of waste and lining pockets with green theater… ✌🏼
Climate change is a non problem looking for a solution.
And they don’t spend it on anything that will help the supposed problem.
@@dmitryisakov8769 "there is a climate dilemma, and in many places its changing for the worst"
Examples of this please?
and over regulation and bureaucratization dilemma
I'm 61 and am still waiting for any of the "predictions" to become reality.
However I've been Taxed on all of them.
I'm that guy sitting next to you.....58......Peace!
It’s like evolution sir … it’s takes a very long time to witness but it is happening because most people believe it and the science tells us so
@@Mellownius "the science tells us so" Been dealing with that arrogant statement for at least 30 years....then...reflect closely at "the science"...the last 3 years? Listen to the "experts"..? Follow the money....Fool me once....
They're basically doomsday "biologists" that have been wrong about every prediction since the 50s.
@@Mellownius No, the science says they're lying. It's a scam.
It's a contrived economic system, not a Climate Dilemma.
The Great Reset,sadly the sheeple have fallen asleep at the wheel.
It's both, but it stems from the economic system
There IS no "climate dilemma." There is no 'crisis.' Everything is fine. CO2 is the single most essential compound to ALL life; It is .046% of the atmosphere.
Climate's what you expect, weather's what you get. The climate, like everything else on this mortal coil, is CONSTANTLY changing. It is normal.
Amen mate !!!!! It is all a LIE to make rich countries collapse !!!!
Totally agree, they talk about Co2 as if it's a pollutant instead of being essential to advanced life.
I have come to believe that when it comes to these Climate alarmists this is more of a pseudo religious replacement. It seems more acceptable to worship the planet than God nowadays, with mankind being the force of evil that is destroying the planet. It seems to fill a spiritual hole, it's a need for purpose in their lives.
The crazy thing is that the opposite is true. Mankind has turned a hostile environment into one that we can live in comfortably, and precisely by the technology that they perceive as damaging.
Correct.
Bury..

Head..
Agreed not to mention its another excuse to collect tax dollars.
I remember writing papers in the 70's pertaining to the impending climate disaster of the cooling of the planet and over-population. Those have not aged well!! We are simply not as smart as we think we are!!
If you were part of that narrative you should speak up more!
We have completely ignored the “hole in the ozone” which started the Montreal Protocol and contributed to GLOBAL COOLING. That, and the expected cyclical return to an ice age trend were the concern of the day. Then it was “greenhouse gases” (which clouds are considered the gross majority of!) and global warming. The reality is, the hole opens and closes, regulating temperatures to some degree. Clouds condense or evaporate as part of the water cycle. None of this is subject to human behavior. The Climate Change religion is one where Man pretends to be God, and politicians and opportunists take your money.
The Computer models that were used to PUSH the Coming Ice age based on burning fossil fuels are the foundation code for today's Climate models......I was there.
It's another end of the world scam, only the biggest, most destructive scam ever.
The earth's climate has been in constant flux for 4.5 billion years...but, now, we're going to put our foot down and do something about it! I'm all for trying to keep our environment as clean as possible, but people are delusional.
Except not this rapidly.
@robertknight5915
You are confusing Greenland warming vs global warming. Your argument uses temperatures from the top of the Greenland ice sheet. This data ends in 1855, long before modern global warming began. It also reflects regional Greenland warming, not global warming.
Scientists reconstructing past Greenland temperatures now use estimates from many different ice cores, which reduces the uncertainties associated with any single one and gives a more accurate picture of changes over Greenland as a whole.
@@hosnimubarak8869 I keep hearing that. And it is not true. Rapid climate change is not even unusual. Especially coming out of such an event as the Little Ice Age. Check Maunder Minimum and Younger Dryas. Stationary climate is the outlier. Changing climate the norm.
@robertknight5915
"Why are you pointing to Greenland? Sorry, I have no idea how that is relevant to my previous comment.
The best evidence for Dansgaard-Oeschger events are in the Greenland ice cores,
@robertknight5915
"A changing climate is the norm. No one doubts that the climate is changing or that temperatures have increased since the end of the last ice age",
However, Earth is currently warming at a rate 10X the gradual warming that ended the last ice age.
"However, scientists have known since the early 1900s that adding more CO2 to the atmosphere has little effect on temperature, because the warming effect of each molecule of CO2 declines as its concentration increases. CO2 has been as high as 7,000 ppm and never caused catastrophic warming."
Nope, you statement is completely wrong.
I attended an air pollution conference in the UK 22 years ago. It was bleeding obvious that the EC was exporting its pollution by exporting its manufacturing to countries that it obviously regarded as sacrificial.
Right, such hypocrisy.
And we've also exported our jobs in industry and the jobs that support those industries thus leaving great swaths of young and youngish people with no job and no way to get a job without another layer of mass upheaval. These folks are pursuing one of three paths available to them:
1. Move to another state.
2. Re-train for another career.
3. Lose your mind (and possibly your life) to drugs.
So then why do people hate and blame China, when it was American companies and the US government that allowed these polluting businesses/factories to be exported from the US to China? Like if you threw your trash into someone else's lawn and then complain that your guests are annoyed by the smell and look of the polluted lawn your neighbours have.
Also, China has made changed to combat its pollution levels, which is something many people refuse to acknowledge simply because "China bad"
But by becoming dependant upon those you deem sacrificial,
what have you actually achieved other than self destruction ?
CO2 isn't pollution and global warming is a good thing.
I remember the 70's, I'm still waiting for that Ice Age..
According to the solar physicists like Valentina Zharkova we may well be heading into another Dalton-style minimum for the next several decades.

...there's gold in them thar hills...$$$$
"Climate" is a rather I'll defined concept actually. The closest to a definition is the Köppen climate classification based on the analysis of plants that are naturally occurring in a given location.
All the plants in my yard sprung to life and rapidly growing as the days get warmer. Most animals thrive in warmer climates, coral the poster child of global warming concern thrive in warmer zones - there's no coral in cold waters (Canada, Norway etc. most is around and growing strong including Australia's Great Barrier Reef) with warmer temperatures. In USA more people moving south and in Australia more people migrating to Queensland for the warmer weather. Yes people die from heat waves but there are far more dying from the cold. Mankind is built for hot climates we sweat and mankind supposedly migrated from Africa. Greenhouses are used to grow crops out of season or to extend season they also burn propane to heat the greenhouse and increase CO2 by 5 times atmospheric levels.
There are coral species growing in deep waters south of Greenland actually. You can Google for it. The discovery was reported in Science Daily in January 2014.
The great early civilizations grew out of the deserts of Iraq and Iran.
@@garymills562 They weren't deserts. That's why the first civilizations developed there, on the fertile shores of Mesopotamia.
@@garymills562 No, it's more like Egypt. The river shores were muddy and fertile without the need for irrigation merely because of regular seasonal flooding. Irrigation developed later as arable land was extended away from the water edge.
@@zdzislawmeglicki2262 nonetheless the main point is ancient civilizations arose from hot climates
The most significant aspect of "Climate Change" is the almost total lack of debate about it. That, allied to the concentration on the last 100 years ate the expense of full climate history guarantees an inappropriate response to the perceived threat.
Agreed 100%, well said.
This is why I LOVE the Second Amendment. The dynamics of "Lifeboat ethics" completely changes when the guy you're planning on throwing overboard can take you with him.
Or remove the antagonist before that 😅
This is the clearest thinking.
I'm here in the UK... The oldest democracy on the planet, arguably.

@@andrewcheadle948 It's Communism.
I propose the Greenies be the first to sacrifice themselves to “save the planet.” It’s the least they can do if they’re serious about their beliefs.
Good discussion. The world has gone mad.
The only dilemma about climate is how to arrest every single person who pushed the lie onto us that we have a climate problem.
What were the dinosaurs driving around in back in the day to have so drastically altered the climate?
Monster trucks I guess🤓
There were a lot of very large dinosaurs cranking out dinosaur farts and the world did just fine.
Good discussion he looks at things holistically …climate is not changing John at least not temperature.. interview John Christie from Huntsville Alabama .. 40 years of satellite data show the models are wrong..
the climate has always change naturally, man's tiny contribution to a trace gas has no effect on it however.
Australia all in on WEF - 30% reduction in methane / 30% reduction in Nitrogen / 30% of all land to be protected in reserves and national parks (currently 4%) and 30% of all Australian seas in no fish marine parks - all designed to reduce local food supplies and need to import more food if we can get it
As an old school environmentally focused person, career and lifestyle. I hope this video is seen far and wide across Australia.
We only have the protected areas that we have and the environmental knowledge that we have amassed because of the wealth that farming and the energy sector has generated.
Also maybe it is time to hold up on a pedestal the hundreds of thousands of Australians, that for decades have been caring for this country through their profession and personal endeavours.
The overpopulation issue is meanwhile blatently wrong. The western world suffers from decreasing population. Why is it so hard to find out why and identify those countries with still exploding population. It is those wirh the lowest standards of living. Thus the solution cannot be to bring these to developed countries but to improve their living conditions to our level.
Yes, increased prosperity brings a lower birthrate. Wealth in finance, not children, people better educated, able to access technology, make plans that do not involve more babies, and at the same time freed up to think beyond survival and the needs of others, including the environment. But the single-minded environmentalists want to deny actual prosperity to the poorest on the planet because it might mean adding, not decreasing emissions. It is a very short-sighted view, religiously dogmatic in character. They are quite willing to throw the poorest off the lifeboat to save the planet. It's a form of anti-human, classist, racist neo-imperialism.
By using fossil fuel initially then transitioning to next generation nuclear
@@aranisles8292 I Fully agree and want to add. This is the Globalist world with the simplified receipe, transfer manufacturing to the poorest contries and sell the manufactured goods in the richest countries, thus making big profits. This is a new form of slavery. But laws that simply result in stamping labels on these good, saying sustainable, supply chain conform or else are no solution. What we need are ways of making these dirty practices public.
I had an ecological course in 1979 which used a book called "Population / Resources / Environment" by Ana & Paul Erlich. It's worthy of note that the first word in the title is Population
Paul Erlich was one of the biggest frauds in environmental history. He wrote an apology of sorts for the New York Times as far as his failed predictions, and they were grossly erroneous.
Paul erlich wrote that book the Population Bomb back in the 60s.
@@rjbiker66 and couldn't have been more wrong. It astounds me anyone still listens to him
Population is not the problem! Distribution of resources is!
The few have far to much, the many far to little!
Ah, Paul Ehrlich, the eminent lepidopterist.
there is no climate crisis
Correct!
The climate is and always has changed we can't stop it ,I didn't hear any politician's say they making electric tanks or using less oil for military ops. They don't mind flying around the world for a photo with another politician
If you ever see a car hurtling toward you - I recommend moving out of the way rather than saying "I can't stop it".
Just a tip.
there are lots of topics we're not allowed to debate ?..
The theory that an increase in CO2 concentration above a very small amount, through a strong positive feedback, causes an increase in greenhouse gas (water vapour and cloud), has been disproved by satellite and balloon mounted measurement.
Nope.
Nope.
The fact that in the last 1 million years there have been 4 interglacial warm periods much warmer than our current interglacial warm period even though co2 was only 250ppm says it all. The people pushing this on us like G0re, Clint0n 0bama and the Goldman Sachs buddies are all heavily invested in co2 trading.
@@nigelliam153
"there have been 4 interglacial warm periods much warmer than our current interglacial warm period even though co2 was only 250ppm" [citation needed].
@@nigelliam153 "Says it all"
If you actually think that "says it all" then you are clearly seeking reenforcement of your preexisting biasis.
Have you spent any time looking at the evidence against your position ?
The answers are at your fingertips - you only need to look for them.
The lifeboat analogy is not a very good one. Obviously the planet is not a lifeboat and we are in no way running out of anything including space. Secondly the more people we have the greater our productivity and so the resources we use become more abundant and more accessible; such are the findings of authors Tupy and Pooley in their recent book "Superabundance" in which they examine the actual record of human accomplishment and in particular the famous bet between Julian James and the famously erroneous malthusian Paul Ehrlich. I would wholeheartedly recommend that you have them as guests and with no disrespect for Mr Kotkin, he should do the same. Cheers and Happy New Year, really...the pessimism is corrosive and taking on the challenges of a changing world become far more likely with the knowledge that throughout history humans have, despite short-term setbacks, always made the world a better place. Cheers.
Al gore in his Oscar winning documentary said the Arctic would be gone by 2013 and polar bears would be extinct. Polar bears are thriving right now and not even on endangered list. Media was also fearmongering about 10 years ago, citing "experts" that were predicting Florida would be underwater in 7 years. Australia even warned in 1999, that in 20 years, there would be no more snow. They just had historic record snowfall. Climate has always been changing. That's why ice age is cyclical and Sahara desert was lush 10,000 years ago.
Every 10 years we have 10 years to save the planet. One thing that's happens each time is my taxes go up.
If you truly believe in the Life Boat Ethics, throwing yourself out first is the most ethical thing to do. So that makes sense if you look at what we are doing
Sure. And the people who led you to that decision will still remain, and benefit from your death.
But what we are doing is greening the earth and lifting humanity out of dire poverty and constant threats of starvation. Sure, we have created problems and need to stop destroying habitats, polluting rivers and oceans etc., but only wealthy and healthy people have the luxury to care about things like that.
If only Social and Eco Warriors would take themselves out. Less CO2 and lower population. Win win
What is happening, the fact that you're not allowed to debate the steps we're taking, and the various inconsistencies, are consistent with the idea that the underlying plan is really to reduce human activity, to reduce our impact on the planet.
The climate movement is an ideological movement in the guise of saving the planet.
I studied ethics and was so shocked when the professor claimed altruism is the only intellectual perspective for understanding how we should view ourselves, such a backward mindset because it comes down to being identical in life choices and strategies. This was in 1986 and the legal community has been falling down this rabbit hole ever since
?
Marxism...
Surely altruism simply means thinking of, and caring for, 'the other'. And surely it's for the benefit of all. Poverty, both material and intellectual, arises from the selfishness and greed of individuals. Which we are witness to in these days.
Excellent man.
Didn't Paul Erlich recant the primary theories presented in "The Population Bomb" before he died? If he didn't, he should have. When they (Gemanic Tribes LOL?) started destroying the aquaducts providing Rome's water supply, it was the beginning of their end, combined with their weakened ability to guard vast territories. Their mercenaries eventually turned on them.
He never recanted anything he was always, and remains a misanthrope to this day
Follow the money & that will lead you to “The Science”!
Everyone who thinks there are to many people in the boat can be the first out of the boat.
Is the change in climate really catastrophic?
If there is a human contribution to climate change, why do we think that CO2 is the main connection rather than, say, land use changes?
Are there any "winners" from the current changes in climate?
Why is a (futile) strategy of attempting to halt climate change better than a local strategy of adaptation?
What should we do about the majority of plant species which are struggling for lack of CO2?
"Winners" ? Yeah, plants. Look at satellite photos of Africa from 15 years ago and today- you'll notice Africa is greener today
Fantastic questions that should be put forward in a documentary on the MSM
" a local strategy of adaptation ". Do a search for "wet bulb temperature an its effect and its effect on humans".
@@hosnimubarak8869 How is that relevant? Those places that are already hot and humid are hardly warmed by "global warming". Most of the observed "warming" occurs in cooler places (well away from the equator) and at relatively cool times of the year (especially in the form of mild winters, late autumns, and early springs).
The effects of climate change, however, may be most noticeable in changes in rainfall patterns. That is where adaptation is most likely required.

More than 3.3 billion people live in the tropics, representing about 40% of the world’s population. Despite some areas of affluence, such as Singapore, the tropics are also home to about 85% of the world’s poorest people and are therefore particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change.
If we're speaking bad to worse, I believe the worst would be to be one of the ones chosen by the ones making the "hard decisions" as one of the ones that "belong" in the lifeboat.
I'd rather go for a swim.
In Nature, populations become self limiting due to necessary environmental inputs being depleted to exhaustion levels eg food.The population balances itself according to these events, unless this is interfered with, thus delaying the arrival of this delicate balance with more dramatic end events along the way
but in nature no-one goes around vaccinating or sharing food around beyond one's immediate troupe
But we interfere with nature, breaking that natural balance and creating even bigger problems.

Thanks for faithfully speaking the truth for another year, John. You're a hero!
Well the way it looks like we are gonna try all the damaging "solutions" and then more. That is what academia, media, "NGOs" and politicians want.
NGOs are in quotation marks because at least here in Germany they get quite some tax money from the government.
Btw it has been some time now since the riots and emergency rule in Sri Lanka - have they given up on their mad fertilizer ban?
It's important to have colleagues, remote work can't be the norm or even pushed for!
John do you remember Tim Flannery
Some 15 years ago saying NSW would have now water by 2020....
I remember. He said 'Even the rains that fall, won't fill up the dams'. A year later we had floods and our dams were full to overflowing.
let's teach the next generation to think for themselves and be able to discuss and address the world's problems in a methodical way. not follow blindly a single idealistic view.
if this occurred, we could return to informed decision making after robust debate. Comon sense instead of idealism.
We play “life boat ethics” every day in our treatment of non humans. And have been doing so for a long long time. Who speaks for them ?
Well, wealthy countries that use fossil fuels are able to conserve large areas of land in national parks etc. In poor countries people don't care because they need to cut down the forests to have wood for fuel. If we want to save the wilderness we should be trying to switch people over from burning wood to burning coal/gas - much more efficient way to produce energy, and leaves more of the environment intact for the animals.
What does your vague reference to ‘clean energy’ mean?
Off topic I know, but I love hearing from somebody go back to their *free* tertiary education days, who aligns with the coalition that have deregulating universities as their policy.
Agree Totally with Claudia Fahey.
Remote work isolates people, there is a down side to every choice... There are no solutions only trade offs.
I agree. That's not an optimal solution at all. We're already dealing with rising mental health issues due to greater loneliness and alienation, exacerbated greatly by the pandemic.
It doesn't need to be all-or-nothing at an individual level, or even within a company.
Some people might struggle to get to work at all. For example mobility or eyesight issues. Others might prefer to be in the office for 2 or 3 days.
The 5-day in an office for everyone is vanishingly unlikely to be the optimum.

This is seen all over the world. Countries not extracting shale gas for example from their own country but importing it? To make their own numbers look good. Maybe the carbon created from anything imported should be added to the importing countries stats. Making them realise it's MORE beneficial to create your own energy.

CONTEXT ?
Australia is producing solar power and will export it to Singapore in a few years time. So why can't they do this for their own cities? They want to keep the coal industry going!? Bizarre....totally bizarre.
And where is all the lithium for the batteries to come from? I saw a calculation (I'll try to find it again) that showed mining enough lithium for enough renewables to power just the US would take over 29,000 years. Then there are numerous other rare minerals required. And fossil fuels are used in the manufacture of solar power, wind farms etc. anyway. Fossil fuels have taken the developed world from dire poverty to the comfortable, healthy and productive lives we have today. If you don't like it, turn off your home's electricity supply, stop driving, stop flying, stop eating food that's been transported, stop using all plastics, oils, lubricants, stop using virtually anything that's been manufactured. Let's see how long you last. And all this for an unproven hypothesis. The climate has always changed and always will.

What about rechargeable batteries that are mined in the Congo under conditions that are worst then slavery. What are we doing about this considering we are the one who benefit from their death and labor.

Climate naysayers have long upheld CO2 fertilization as evidence that humans are doing the planet a solid good by pumping 40 billion tons of fossil carbon into the air every year. It’s an argument that makes sense superficially, but falls apart as soon as you start to unpack it. First and foremost, most experts agree that CO2 fertilization is a temporary effect. The reason is simple: anything that limits growth, whether it’s sunlight, water, carbon, or even physical space, can only stimulate plants up to a point. Eventually, they run into some other resource limitation. This principle, called “Liebig’s law of the minimum,” was developed in agricultural science to explain why fertilizing a crop with plentiful nutrients doesn’t stimulate growth. It’s proven to be a very robust concept. CO2 fertilization also stands to impact plant growth in unexpected ways. For instance, that some plants are putting out more leaves at the expense of roots, which has detrimental effects on their long-term health. Finally, ecologists worry CO2 fertilization will have dramatic feedbacks on the entire climate system. For instance, plants pump a lot of water from the ground into the atmosphere; a process known as transpiration. When plants have more leaves, they can pump more water into the atmosphere, resulting in more clouds and rainfall. This could make the hydrological cycle more vigorous.
We can't do anything about the sun. That discussion is pointless.
Better to concentrate on the things we can do something about.
I Should Just Touch on Current Australian Politics for a Moment.

I think you need to back up and first ask if it is even true that increased levels of carbon dioxide always equals higher global temperatures. I believe we have been lied to. We need to all become climate scientists and find out if we are being lied to.
Unfortunately this guest was highly inarticulate. He would benefit greatly from preparing some notes in advance imo.
COP 27 did not talk about overpopulation 27 times, so it failed 27 times. Spot the connection?
As women dominate voting, population is not allowed to be discussed. It is a traditional man's rights to put down his subjects.

The recorded temp not the modes has gone up .3 of a degree in 100 years. Google the charington 1879 event. A weaker magnetosphere and the earth is du for anther super CME and a Micro nova is due in 20-30 years, good reason not to buy an EV
Nuclear is no solution
That vapid opinion was worth every penny we payed for it.
