- The UBC Free Speech Club is honoured to host Ben Shapiro on Halloween night!
In this clip, Ben shares his take on Climate Change
The UBC Free Speech Club is nonpartisan and committed to cultivating an open dialogue on campus, where arguments are made with wit and reason rather than rhetoric and personal attack. We cherish a diversity of opinions and seek to promote an open debate stage, where political correctness no longer holds sway.

Looking forward to that! But really I subbed cause of your name.
Any chance you could have people on that know what they are talking about rather than Fossil Fuel ie Koch employees like Ben? But maybe free speech and truth aren't your thing.
James Pyke 😂🤪😢
@@dll7658 You know it's bad when you have to have a club just for free speech. But these college marxists want to pretend like everyone else is the Nazi.
@@KandiKlover or it doesn't do free speech but their speech but pretends it does. Like having someone funded by the FF industry lying about AGW for example.
unlike many of these videos it actually showed a reasonable person asking a reasonable question and a reasonable person providing a reasonable response. This is what intellectual discourse should be.
Dustin Hecker I agree. The guy who asked the question was a total gentlemen and seemed to sincerely want to hear Ben’s answer. It’s hard to tell if he agrees or disagrees with Ben. Either way he was thankful and super respectful to Ben for answering his question.
But he is wrong implying climate change will only cause "water levels to increase a rather predictable number of inches". Nobody is saying the day after tomorrow is going to happen, but is certainly more complex than water levels rising a few inches.
@@CM-ky5go He didn't say humans are only 50% responsible for GHG emissions.
@@raul-cayo Based on your knowledge what would be your best estimate as to what other effects it will have and when?
@@CM-ky5go so nature doesn't affect climate change at all? Thats what you're saying? So volcanos, changes on the earth's orbit or the orientation axis of rotation, tectonic plates, the Sun, the CO2 content in the oceans, the current on the oceans, meteorite impacts, etc... none of those affect the climate change? And climate only has changed dramatically with man kind? Or you only read the Bs for dummies they what you to read?
The person who asked the question was very polite and patient. I really appreciate that. He didn’t think he knew more than Ben Shapiro and he didn’t argue so thank you.
Lipzi Michel
he is an educated sikh ( religion from north part of india ie punjab)
John Deegan apparently a lot of people care.
interesting videos still not smarter than Ben
@Fadi Ebrhem For allowing Ben to spread his FF funded lies unchecked like Ben is paid to do I guess.
So you're happy that no one question what Shapiro had to say and that there wasn't an actual discourse but just accept it whatever he had to say on face value. Ben Shapiro is a climate change denier that's not something that you should just take lightly. Ben Shapiro is also literally there to have a debate, more like dominate his opponent to make himself look better but technically by name at a debate. And Ben Shapiro already functions from the place that he knows more than everyone so that part doesn't even make sense but I guess yay for civility even though Shapiro is rarely civil himself and he's built a career on owning and dominating people he disagrees with and never admitting when he's wrong in which he is quite often.
I'd like to see Ben Shapiro debate an actual climatologist.
@rebecca stefan Ben S. I am sure would destroy almost any climatologist with respect to any topic except possibly climatology. Ben SHAPIRO is not a one trick pony where he gets to just focus on one topic day in and day out.
Bens a very smart man don’t get me wrong but there’s a difference in excelling and being efficient in many different topics as opposed to going against a climatologist who’s whole life’s work is focused on climate change Ben would get destroyed
@@randyokungu1222 Bens argument seems that although he believes in climate change and recognizes the globe is warming up, what is there for us to do in this situation? That little girl(i forget her name) who said we basically need to shut down all transportation just to get emissions down is the equivalent of dropping a massive ice cube into the ocean. Climate change is an extremely complex topic that affects the entire world and there hasnt been a single time in the history of humans where we collectively came together as a race to change 1 thing. What makes you think we'll do it for climate change?
In a perfect world we wouldnt have this issue, or many other issues, but thats not the case. Ben Shapiros argument is always reasonable and he uses statistics from actualy professionals to look at not just 1 issue, but the issues that can arise from fixing 1 issue and if its worth it.
@@erickim1739 yeah it’s pretty unrealistic to have all humans come together to try and slow down climate change its inevitable none the less hopefully we can come up with alternate things that we do which contribute to climate change so we can at least slow it down one day
Read Apocalypse Never by Michael Shellenberger. He cuts through all of the alarmist bs and lays out a realistic plan to deal with this overly emotional topic. It does require an open mind. Fair warning.
The amount of respect the kid showed inasking Ben that question ....frankly was beautiful. He never put a word in Ben's mouth. He wanted to let him speak for himself.
There needs to be a Ben Shapiro app where during an argument, you can just pull up the topic and it plays a video of Ben debating the issue.
Scott Fisher LOL. I wouldn’t mind paying for this app 😳

@@meinemudda3095 when accepting whether climate change is real or not, it is now a political thing, when it should really be a science topic. Politics should only come into play when discussing the POLICIES that can curb carbon emmisions (more gov intervention or not, raise taxes or not etc)

So after decades of denying warming and "accidentally" putting -ves in their code to "find" cooling at least now they admit they were wrong. BUT some even still deny warming so 2 points, 2 lies. Then he asks a "serious" question, so "serious" he never looks for answers.

Loses to GDP have also been estimated at $30 trillion+. And the stats don't back up FF employees feelings about the stats. And no "intensity" does not mean "building more stuff" it means intensity.

www.theguardian.com/weather/ng-interactive/2018/sep/11/atlantic-hurricanes-are-storms-getting-worse
Then he again feels addressing AGW means cutting back the economy when the opposite is the case ie doing nothing will decrease GDP.

As for Lomborg's error ridden BS piece, he also forgets to include the costs of causing AGW. The costs of intervening we already pay. We currently pay the FF industry $5.3 trillion a year in taxpayer funded billionaire welfare "subsidies" to cause AGW. The cost of addressing AGW according to Bloomberg would require a $12.1 trillion INVESTMENT not handouts, over 25 years. Or 10% of the FF subsidies. The current price of intervention we pay. Poor countries have far less emissions per person thus much less scope to cut emissions and are also the most effected by AGW. Also are reducing emissions as only 2 countries didn't sign up to Paris, one at war the other the US. So the Us pulled out of a meaningless agreement which deniers demand the US pull out of!!! LOL. So how is paying less for cheaper cleaner RE, no more wars for oil, cleaner air and water, creating jobs and lower taxes "killing capitalism"? Oh forgot, he gets paid by the Kochs to lie and say that.

How is subsidizing the FF industry 10X more each year than the RE net worth a free market capitalist system? Oh Ben's feelings don't care about facts when he get's paid for his feelings.
Curious how he responds to ecological concerns - in isolation, humans can bear the increase in temperature, but many other plants and animals can’t, and that may have quite an effect on humans

The idea that we are building more things in the path of hurricanes is very true. I graduated from a Florida high school. When I started High school no one was building anything on the Gulf side of the beach only the bay side. It is now many years since High school and you can not walk on the beach because people that built on the beach think their property line goes from the back of their house out into the water. Rich folks.
In climatology, destruction of property is not the measure of intensity and frequency of hurricanes. It seems logical that a rich guy, likely with a beach house, would look at the world like this, but scientists don’t.
To say that climatologists are being misled by such a simple data point like ‘more buildings on the beach’, is laughable and totally dishonest.
@@markoshun No but the climate alarmism that is gripping the world is because the alarmists point to the increasing destructive effect of climate catastrophes as 'evidence' that we are in a crisis, whereas in fact it's just that the property destruction is more visible, as there's more property affected.
@@sajjie8121 If by alarmists you mean non scientist celebrities who use irrelevant but related inflammatory talking points to make emotional arguments, then Shapiro is an alarmist. We need to look at the actual data and make rational decisions rather than spread misinformation to ‘win’ an argument.
More buildings in the path of hurricanes is irrelevant to the question of storm intensity. Shapiro knows this but uses it anyway because people will think, ‘yes, that’s true’, and assume scientists are making the same mistake.

I have been following Ben for a couple of years now, watch all his lectures and podcasts and the thing that's happened is that I've become so accustomed to his voice that now if I listen to those with slower speech - and especially with those who 'um' and 'ah' a lot, I tend to lose interest. His thought process is incredible!!

"Its fine, people will migrate because of climate change, we have done this since forever!"
* African and middleeastern people migrating because of climate change
"no, not like that!"
Most Middle Eastern and African migrants migrate because of shit governance in their home countries, rather than climate change.
@@24killsequalMOAB like how US war killed 500 thousand citizens, or how the overthrew the Iranian government?
yeah migrate in land to escape rising ocean levels, not to another continent
@@kodaminclyde327 if the only concern of these immigrants was to escape rising sea levels (which I'm saying it is not) then there would be no need to move to Europe, simply further inland wherever you are, unless of course the entire continent of Africa was sinking. Ok but I understand now that rising ocean levels is not the only consequence of climate change driving people to leave, there is also changing weather patterns which cause drought, and under this circumstance it makes more sense.
@@JorgenJorgensenSonofJorgen You are intentionally missing the point, its not only about sea levels. We will also see significant increases in extreme weather temperatures, specifically in Africa we will se draughts, crop death, storms, sand blazes etc.
I like that he doesn't simply dismiss scientific evidence as some other unfortunately would.
Nevertheless, he used false information at least three times. 1) Hurricanes are becoming more intense due to climate change, not just more destructive. The science is very clear on that. Just look at the source from NASA below. Plus, the probability is high that the intensification of hurricanes has already been happening over the years. 2) William Nordhaus, the economist who won the Nobel price for his work on climate change, argues that it would be cheaper to mitigate emissions in the future, but this does not mean that - as Shapiro said - "intervention would be counterproductive." Rather, Nordhaus' paper suggests to pursue economic efficiency with the timing of your mitigation options. 3) Shapiro said "The Paris Accords were completely useless" in 3:10. Well, it is only one agreement, not several accords. But no, thats not the false information of course, as I agree it could be mispronunciation. However, he uses polarizing and politicizing language. I could now list numerous IR scholars, economist and political scientists who would argue the contrary. However, I will not engage with Shapiro's overly bold and simplistic statement.
So, overall, it unfortunately seems to me that Shapiro is similar to most other deniers, with the slight difference that he dismisses evidence in a more sophisticated way. In any case, I believe his contribution to an intellectual debate is very limited.

@BullseyeBullsclaw like what?
Thanks for writing this! I generally find myself agreeing with Ben Shapiro when watching him but I've found he does tend to misuse or distort evidence to suit his positions. Tbh things like this might be harmful to our future and the future of our children. As we've hopefully seen with coronavirus, for large scale events like climate change or pandemics we should all stand back and trust the scientists. I hope for the sake of humanity in 100 years we can look back and say "we overreacted" on climate change because if we did, it means we acted correctly.
@BullseyeBullsclaw The way we currently treat god's creation is one of exploitation that brings death and demise not only to us human beings, but also to "every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth."
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth" Genesis 1:28
If you look into theological text (for example Laodato si'), you will come to realize that dominion clearly means stewardship, not exploitation and destruction.
@BullseyeBullsclaw I know you havent said that, and I apologize if it irritated you. The reason why I wrote it is because I believe that if one exploits and destroys knowingly, it could be argued that he or she wilfully causes death.
BullseyeBullsclaw we shouldnt allow both to happen. The environment is important to protect as well as murder. Whether or not we should prioritize one over the other is not so wise to do. We don’t prioritize whether or not we deal with either murder or robbery. We just deal with both problems. We shouldn’t prioritize problems over another
This guy has an intensity that’s so fortunately focused into clear argument that you can go along with him the whole time. It’s a helluva ride.
Not a big fan of liberal cunts here but Ben does make a very facile argument here. Just because it's gonna cost us more to actively counter climate change in the short run, we can't sit back and just cope with the ramifications of climate change because it's not dangerous enough as yet and that it's 'cost effective' that way.
Big fan of Ben but I don't agree with his extremely stunted and rudimentary arguments on this issue.
Shravan Satyanarayan where in the video did he say we should just sit back and let it happen? Oh yeah, he didn't
@@shravansatyanarayan1665 What will happen if we don't "do anything"?
@@JK.308 He didn't state that directly. But if you read between the lines you'd know that's what he meant. At 2:18 he quotes a Nobel laureate and talks about his research. If you club that along with what he says in these 4 minutes, you'd arrive at the same conclusion I reached.
@@cyrhow5096 We'll only be be accelerating the inevitable. If we don't start acting now, the eventuality would be that the whole world would be submerged in water due to extreme rise of water levels. The only debate is when.
ben talked about how now its just more expensive stuff in the path of hurricanes. I live in India, where close to half a billion people are dependent on agriculture for income and the rest half billion for food(meaning that rain is very important). For thousands of years, the climate has been steady, monsoons have come at the same time every year at the right time to produce the max amount of food. But recently, monsoons have become very unpredictable in terms of amount of water and pattern. Millions of farms have failed thanks to lack of rain or too much rain. If u ask families that have been farming for many many generations, they tell us that something is actually wrong. From the pattern of insects that act as pollinators to spread seeds naturally to rain required. There are too many pests and natural anti-pests have decreased so they have to use a lot of chemicals that might cause poisoning. Climate change does have actual ramifications across the world right now. Its just starting. and its gonna get much worse. Its a chain process where acid rain might kill small insects on the ground which reduces the number of natural pollinators so trees become less and less. therefore herbivores become less. food for carnivores and top of the food chain becomes less and including destroying of their natural habitat is upsetting the entire system that was stable for millions of years. We dont see it. phytoplankton produce half of earths oxygen. they are very small and live in the ocean. Now we all wear synthetic fibres. there micro-plastics when washed end up in the ocean and kill our major source of oxygen and we dont even know about it. Coral reefs are like the major cities and are the economic hub of the oceans. 80% of them are all dead. The entire ocean ecosystem is changing. If Our climate increases by even 1degree Celsius, ocean patterns change and result in change of climate, fish mating patters leading to a huge drop in fish. Millions of fishermen and the economies of a lot of small countries collapse first then the big countries will come
Thank you for an interesting post. Seems like overpopulation is really the elephant in the room?
@@magaranita that is definitely a reason. But, unfortunately it is not the only reason.
I have to agree with you. I mean humanity is not the only one living in this world right?
The earth easily has enough resources for everybody if they used efficiently. Also there isn't really a solution to overpopulation except maybe education and healthcare but that's a big challenge. Waddya gonna do, cull people?
@@conkrcstf6405 lmao of course not. Education will help a lot and motivate families to only have 1 child. But you could say the US has high educated population but still number of kids per family is 2.5 in the US. Overpopulation is the biggest problem we have but at least we're trying to diversify and move to a different planet. It'll take maybe a decade more for a proper colony on Mars but at least our grandkids wont have to fight for land or food. But I feel sustainable development will never be a big thing because there will always be people who misinterpret and say, "Oh thats communism!! If I wanna burn down a forest, I got my rights!! If I wanna buy new everything, I can."
Smart intelligent answer. Shame our politicians can't think at the same level.
I'm not a fan of Shapiro but I loved the fact that the first words out of his mouth while answering the guy's question about climate was :
First of all I'm not a climatologist. That's something that very few people say when talking adamantly about this subject.
I respect that a lot.
That isn’t a smart thing to say, rather it is a strategic choice. Ben says this to shield himself from genuine criticism. He peddles these completely unfounded ideas that aren’t supported by the majority of scientists. Ben is funded by rich people, and is a rich person himself, so he has a vested interest in denying climate change because he knows where the money to calm climate change will come from. The rich.
Ironically it’s the white guy whose forefathers have the highest contribution towards climate change who is denying it. There is nothing ironic about that actually. It’s makes sense. First plunder the whole world of its culture and resources through colonialism and then export the I’ll effect of capitalism to global south. Just look at per capita consumption numbers and you will see it for yourself. Yes America won’t get effected much - they will probably have to deal with more bites from flies. But the other world with a per capita consumption of way less will get ruined in the process. Don’t be animals - atleast acknowledge what you have done. First steps towards fixing it.
What I'd like to hear in climate change debates is "I'm a bought and paid for climatologist " I'm answering your questions as directed by my owners.

The Climate never stopped changing
yep...been warming for 700 years. the sun, water vapor will happen.
The free speech club ? What a joke. They filter out the comments that don't go along with their narrative. Warm water is a recipe for hurricanes. The warmer the water, the more likelihood of a hurricane . Inacurrate predictions aren't what matters. 140 years of data matter. It isn't just a couple inches of water. It's more hurricanes, more flooding , more droughts, melting glaciers and less drinking water, etc. Ben brings nothing to the table here.
Thats not true the earth has been relatively stable for the las 9,000 years maintaining average temperatures and climate conditions for the most part withing 1 degree celsius. Prior to climate change
@@seth8647 the best way to sum it up for the naysayers is this. Sure the climate is forever changing and we can't control that but, the change should be so gradual that we shouldn't be seeing changes in one lifetime but we are.
@@johngawrylash7732 biggest hurricane to hit the US North East Coast was about 60 years ago, most all the temp highs happened from 50 to 150 years ago. 2019 not one hurricane hit the US coast. if we've been stable for 700 or 9000 years , what's is the problem, other than wanting to seem dramatic, make something from NOTHING. It takes longer for Kids to grow up, than for temperatures to change, waiting.
We cleaned the Hudson River along with all the other rivers over 30 years ago. Las Vegas goes from 200,000 people to over 2,000,000 in 20 years, air condition alone should account for temp increase, so shut down all movie theaters, hotels , hospitals, housing and cars. do not close your churches, we need them to pray for you.
I love freedom of speech because then I can call this shit out.
I love how Ben Shapiro claims that "conservativitism" is about "personal responsibility", yet when it comes to climate change "it's not economically feasible until it hits 3.5 degrees", like that's the only reason for stopping climate change. If you were about personal responsibillity, you would be about making the personally responsible decision for your future self, your children and others. His version of libertarianism and neo-classical economics is about "lets get wealthy cos it's fun, and maybe we'll use put the toys towards something useful in the future, but only when it's absolutely necessary".
He refuses to move past neoclassical economics, which has been debunked relentlessly due to it's assumptions that a) people are rational beings and will spend money in our own best interests and b) that we will be able to "wealth" our way out of every problem. People are not rational human beings. We smoke, drink, fuck our neighbours wives. And why? Because we are selfish and it feels good, not because we know that smoking will cause us lung cancer in the next 30 years.
If we go by the mentality of "oh, we'll build our way out of it" and "it's not economically feasible now" we are essentially no better than a 13 year old boy procrastinating doing his maths homework. Sure it would be a better investment in the future to do his homework now, but right now, it's a better investment to go and make friends because his priorities are on being cool. Similarly, the carbon emitting companys' priority is on money and power, and all the joys of life that come from that.
Why should we give a fuck about climate change? Well because of food. Agricultural yields are incredibly temperature sensitive. If we want to make sure the price of food stays down, we need to reduce our emissions. If you don't want to be paying an extra $2 dollars for every loaf of bread you buy, then you need to start investing in energy that comes from renewable farms. The more demand for that goes up, the more supply will and it will drive the price down.
@@TheGreatSkull123 Yeah Axial Procession is another typical blame avoidance tactic. It's NOT scientifically wrong, but the implication there is "oh well, it's natural, we can't change it so we moses well just keep doing what we're doing", which is once agian, the opposite of what conservativism espouses. It actually makes me ashamed to be a conservative when I see our people use it in such a way. It happens, BUT we are helping it do it's job, way earlier than it is supposed to and therefore engineering a future planet that will be way less inhabitable than it is now. Imagine everyone having to sit inside and crank their aircon all day every day because it's uninhabitably hot outside.
Nah bud, I'm afraid you're wrong on that one. Covid-19 is terrifying. Government's are justified in fear mongering on that one haha. As someone who lives in an acommodation that's taken up largely by medicine students, from their research it is dangerous. It spreads much faster than the flu (and I believe the cold?) and has the ability to mutate way easier than most other diseases. On top of that, the severe symptoms are scary as fuck: not being able to breathe properly, not being able to think properly etc. If you speak to anyone that has actually had the disease in it's full force, they will tell you it's basically like the worst flu you've ever had.

@@securityquip3170 rich people do not waste money on mortgages when they have cash. A mortgage often adds a third onto the cost of a property. They can save that money by paying cash and spend it fixing things up - add drainage, retaining walls etc.
I actually work for banks valuing properties. This is what I do every day.
After a certain amount of wealth people can be cavalier with their cash. They can buy a property to enjoy for twenty years without stressing that their kids' inheritance will be lost, because the property does not represent their entire inheritance. And they can afford to add in features that will protect their properties from rising water levels.
The fact that the Obamas bought a property on the sea front is simply not proof that anthropogenic climate change is a myth. It is the weakest argument I have encountered.

When you talk about the effects of climate change just as it gets a bit warmer and the sea gets a bit deeper it doesn’t sound that bad. There are loads of other effects you’re ignoring though such as the acidification and warming of the oceans which will kill the microorganisms at the bottom of the oceans’ food chains. I question Shapiro’s assertion that storms aren’t getting more severe and that we’re just putting more expensive things in their paths. When scientists discuss storm severity it’s in terms of wind strength, size and duration, usually not damage for the exact reason he states. The other big effect of climate change is the loss of biodiversity; all of nature is intertwined and so are we in how we farm our food, fish the oceans and produce materials for clothing. This relies on fertile soil and predictable weather patterns, which only comes from the planet’s diverse plant and animal populations. We completely take for granted that we go in a supermarket and there’s food there but before the end of this century this will become something that we can rely on less and less
This is an interesting read.

Over 50% of warming is due to human activity? where is your data? I have one sentence that destroys that claim: the warming starts long before industrial revolution, and the warming doesn't increased after industrial revolution. We are at the end of a ice age, the temperature can only go up. CO2 is trace gas, there is no evidence that CO2 plays a role in global temperature in the past hundreds of million years of earth history.

I think though that his way of thinking seems very American and that that won't have a positive impact on us should he choose to come and campaign here

@@mrg8255 easy. Worship of the Constitution, a strict camping of everyone in either Democrat or Republican parties, a greater (even sometimes intense) sense of national- or patriotism, strong cultural ties to weapon ownership, limitless and unguarded capitalistic tendencies, way more phobic of anything remotely socialist, just to name a few. But also, the dynamic of church and state, although technically separated, does play a much bigger role in the states. The history and current identity of the states has roots in slavery, African Americans and African heritage are way more American things than they are Canadian. In comparison, Canada has much more to do with Korean, Hindu, Japanese, and Chinese cultures. Canadians are more welcoming to foreigners as well. Canada has a lot to do with Britain whereas the states reject the British regarding their history. Americans work more than Canadians and take fewer holidays. Canadians put a much bigger emphasis on higher education.

The damages of climate change go beyond that (e.g species extinction, marine health, decrease in snow cover, more deaths caused by respiratory illnesses from bad air quality, human health, hotter summers/colder winters, etc.) and the occurrence of these consequences are happening at accelerating rates all while average temperatures and variance increases

With more people there is going to be greater output And increasing diminishing global resources

The captions are no match for Ben
Hey..he reminds me of Sheldon Cooper.
Salute to you, Free Speech Club! Thank you very much for what you do.
I was asked what caused warming before the industrial revolution,the answer is,of course the same as now,the Sun but the quantity of concrete doesn’t help and neither does having nearly all weather stations in the Northern Hemisphere and close to cities which are natural heat sinks.
There’s a difference btw the damage oceans can inflict in certain environments from rising a few inches compared to a few ft. That difference of height can be devastating to some. This future problem can be avoidable or fixed if we start working now. As for hurricanes being more or less destructive due to climate change he’s probably right. But honestly hurricanes or storms are not a major concern when we talk about the consequences of accelerated climate change. “what level of climate change requires what level of cut backs to the global economy” if we remain to burn carbon, than the numbers Ben pulls up are probably true and it would be better for the economy if we just made minimal cut backs and just cope with the rest. However, the cost could be None if the world Switched over to solar energy. Easier said than done but it’s possible. It will actually create more jobs in the long run. Everything else Ben says starting from 2:52 to the end of the video is spot on.
Switch to nuclear power. Use the pebble bed reactor: its design makes it the safest.
Solar?! Do you realize the amount of mining and materials required in making solar panels. And this is predominantly being made in China where the environmental degradation is extreme. Nuclear is the answer.
solar panels are made of sand so no problem there ,they take them to the wharf on a rickshaw no problem there , they transport them all around the world on sailing ships no problem there , they take them to the distributer on a horse and cart no problem there , the salesman rides a bicycle when he comes to your house to measure up , you don't understand anything
Ben was so good, Climate change couldn't even respond...
The fact that he is able to articulate his thoughts so well and the fact that he is speaking fast among other communication skills he has is what really wins him the argument or debate. I would bet that no matter which side or an argument he sided with, he would still be able to give a comprehensive debate and possibly win. This just shows that the facts and figures really don't matter as much in a debate as many would think and what is more important is to be able to put ideas into words so that others can see your opinion from your point of view more easily. No one is stupid or dumb or wrong for having any one opinion because if articulated correctly, any opinion would become as justified as any other.

"Catastrophists....." Appropriate term.
Hypocritical term ... conservatives typically are catastrophists in regards to most things (literally are fear mongering in their politics afraid of something as simple as change). But when it comes to money and change their love for money and keeping systems the same rules over obvious needs to take action.
Shapiros reason for not wanting to commit to influencing climate change being oh its not that bad so lets do nothing because if we do something poor capitalism and capitalist incentives will take a negative hit ... is almost synonymous to lets say since the dawn of time humans were born with a deficiency that screwed their oxygen levels (hypothetically) to where now they cant live past the age of 25 due to low oxygen levels and the bodies natural incapability to harnest oxygen ... even if this is fiscally damning or is capable of disrupting certain systems in place why would we not take action in finding a solution beyond possible expense to follow through and increase longevity in life expectancy beyond what has always existed in human biology with regard to theoretically accepting that an oxygen deficiency has always been a part of our biology ... imagine you only had 25 years to live or if you were born into an era where you will be dead due to a mass extinction event. Whats crazy is my theoretical statement has no easily definitive way we can control and mitigate the affects to my awareness ... but with climate change there are a lot of KNOWN affects we can have in mitigating global warming its fact.
The idea is that to call one group catastrophist based off one thing doesnt make sense because there will be issues where someone who is advocating we do something for climate change might not feel like its the end of the world for example an abortion is not the end of the world for some where some other abortion "catastrophist" take abortion to the extreme. It all depends on the issue and you are partially right to make that claim. But not entirely.
Everyone in their own right is a catastrophist depending on the issue which i believe to be hilarious. But with that said i felt there was a lot of hypocrisy in that statement just wanted to clarify. Especially coming from a person of a party that breeds people to fear everything and anything that constitutes change ... which is literally all the elements that constitute living. Everything has a rate of change not a single part of life is stagnant to our current knowledge. Although you never know there might be the one thing that we discover in the future but who knows.
@@matthewcuriel991 There are catastrophists in every political group, sure. But that whataboutism doesn't rebut the fact that many prominent forecasts from climate change activists and scientists have been wrong, so it's reasonable to be skeptical, especially because predicting the future with models is also not as straightforward as testing chemicals in a lab, for example.

@@thinkngskeptic i even mentioned understanding the case where climate change projections may be over-projections of what may happen in my last comment though.
Where the affects may not be as drastic. But i make my point to say that isnt good reasoning to do nothing and continue things as usual because you dont know for a 100 percent FACT that a projection of an event *that hasnt happened yet* is false as you say till we go however many years to the day things are projected to happen and yes it might not be 100 percent but anything over 50 percent accuracy is fucked and vonsidering how i know these things are conducted i trust above 50 percent is possible and probable... til the event happens you wont know whether the projections arent right or were not close to right so your skepticism is pointless. The closest we will ever be to knowing what MAY happen is through these projections that you dont want to be right because it will alledgedly .... dundundun DESTROY CAPITALISM. Like who gives a fuck i assume no one would let that just happen anyway because its quite evident capitalism is . part of the deeply rooted fabric of US institutions and conservatives wouldnt allow that to easily happen anyway ... amd you act like every liberal person doesnt support capitalism or doesnt see its benefits enough to know the importance of not just destroying the system there are some who think socialism is better but its not a majority thats why a lot of democratic socialist proposals arent complete reenvisionments of failed socialist systems. The same way we will work to mitigate climate change we can work to maintain our capitalism if thats the issue.
Most these projections come from modeling differential equations where they take different factors to what contributes to global warming as possible to get a clearer and more concise picture of what the rate of change in the climate will be. So you are right considering things naturally change and more factors can come out the blue or some factors conducted can have mitigated impact on the outlook .... its not easy to be 100 percent right about these types of projections because different factors may introduce themselves to change the projections over the years... this is a similar concept to weather mapping or hurricane tracking. There have been many instances where these things arent 100 percent but most times they fit the general cycle because these maps are well conducted and considerate of as many factors as possible for more precision. But what since hurricane maps are not 100 percent correct does that mean you are not going to put up hurricane shutters. If so have fou when the shit hits. And if it doesnt you got lucky.
Its easy to be skeptical and because things arent 100 percent evident you rather neglect it completely. But it shouldnt take for the event to happen for you to be right or wrong for the good old "i told you so" syndrome to kick in while we all die of mass extinction lol. I dont get why people do that to begin with but in general i dont see why corporate greed and capitalist incentives get in the way of us putting in an ACTUAL effort to control and maintain the environment for our future as a whole. No matter how bad the affects are or will be why not try.
Thats where my problem will always be is people choose to not try because of this irrational fear they will waste time or capitalism will die or whatever the fear is. Let your fears drive you to want to fix the problems instead of hold you in place and dwell on worst case scenario because to me thats all it seems like people with your mindset do. And to be honest in some regard i need to take my own advice because with some things in my life i let fear keep me in place but its for more things that can be super life altering that i have no game plan for to tackle not because im not willing to try things i just dont know what im going to try and im not willing to risk doing stupid shit that will have negative impact.
So you are right it isnt as straight forward as testing chemicals in a lab because at least in a lab all yout variables are there in front of you while predicting furgre events not everything is in front of you to know precisesly, but that doesnt mean we dont try, thats the issue ... because trust me no body wants to waste their time conducting even remotely false projections (no body wants to know the possible fate of the world hurdling towards a mass extinction) or go around fear mongering with projections just to do it and to manipulate a mass amount of people with misinformation and propoganda which to me is a conservative tactic that ive witnessed whether it be democrat or republican ... people get told simplified semi truths or outright lies and because it comes from their news source thats all they care to listen to but hey you might see the same thing in the opposite direction and i cant say other wise because thats your perspective. But some people genuinely want whats best for the over all out look of society. Not just gimmicks to how to mainttain things and hold survival incentives for personal gain which is basically what conservatives do. Their agenda involves exploiting keeping things the same fear monger propogating and repeating. I say conservatives because this happems with both democrats and republicans that have conservative incentives.
Sometimes just allowing people who are willing to put the effort in and give a damn is way better than shutting them down and taking their credibility away. Imagine when you were being raised by your parents you felt like what they were saying was stupid and you tried to force them to do nothing because you thought they were stupid and not because they actually were but because they ciuldnt ensure what they were doing would 100 percent be good for you. But in reality the thing they were doing or proposing for you was in your best interest beyond your understanding to accept and with good intentions to your overall outlook. But because you dont want to believe what they are saying is even remotely possible due to a self proclaimed lack of evidence that what was being said definitely ensured a better future, because of your complex you miss out on something you could have benefitted from and maintained a healthy relationship with your parents. Instead you have opted toxicity and complacency. Thats how I see it.
One thing to know in the absence of knowledge/information that opens a gateway of possibility ... endless possibility. Logic backs what im saying. So for example if someone says they dont have evidence but the sun might explode on this day just due to self conducted projection... lack of evidence doesnt just imply the sun will never explode and that thats the only possible outcome.
Its equally possible that the sun can explode or it wont explode or some other outcome ... thats the logical way to look at it and at that point when you weigh the possibilities you can say which is more probable due to subjective belief and or factors that may logically shift probability one way but until the event happens you dont know only one to be true as people like to make things seem.
But people live in delusion and think they are fortune tellers i swear. And this is not a party specific notion i notice this in a vast majority of people and its dumb.
If the main question of why not even try gets answered ill have more to consider but until then i hold my case

I like to call "climate change"... weather. It was cooler last night than this morning.
If all the ice on earth melted, the water level would not change.
Ice displaces it's own weight by volume. Experiment: Take a clear glass and fill it with ice. This over represents the amount of ice on earth compared to the volume of the glass. Fill with water to about 1" below the top. Mark the water level right at the edge with masking tape or similar. Check water level in the morning.
Climates will always change. So maybe buying a coastal property, although beautiful, might not be the best idea.

It's a disclaimer. He could get in trouble for making blatantly false statements in public. He presents his claims as an opinion, so he could bullshit his way out of anything. It's just meaningless drivel.
