The Biggest Myth About Climate Change

↓↓↓ More info and sources below ↓↓↓

You’ve seen it in the comment section before: “Climate change is natural. It’s happened before and it will keep happening”. In reality, comments like these are the newest kind of climate change denial. In this video we’re going to learn about all the reasons that Earth’s climate changes, natural and otherwise, and then how we know that modern climate change can’t be blamed on natural forces. Maybe we can finally put this biggest myth about climate change in the trash.

Enjoy this short video about climate change! I'll heart any comment if you can prove you watched the whole thing 🤓

And even if the current warming was completely natural, it would be super stupid to make it worse by continuing to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Or to put it another way, even if we couldn't do anything to make it better, that's certainly no excuse to make it worse.

Anyone, everyone in fact, that had decided the science is done has already abandoned science in favor of politics.

*Even if true, IT IS NOT, "natural" does not mean "good for people"!!*

I have been landscaping in philadelphia for 40 years. The first 25 or so were the same season started mid april ran till mid october. Then it started around april 1st and ran till halloween....I started this season 3 days time in the last 6 years i had to start in mid march....i now finish around mid november last year it was the season is around 6 to 8 weeks longer then it used to be....just so you know i am i am saying is not to support a political view. I am simply stating a fact. The climate is changing and i know it because it has affected my vocation. Also there always used to be a part of the season around late july where there was a break in the action due to high temps and lack of rain....the lawns would turn brown. That doesn't happen anymore
because there is more lawns don't brown out and stop growing. Its a different world out there now.Things are changing. Just saying.

Ignorance in itself is not a major problem. It becomes a major problem when combined with arrogance.

honestly love the way you talk about this
"the people who discovered how the climate naturally changes over time are climate scientists, the same group of people who discovered the climate change we're currently facing is human caused." is kind of a connection that should be obvious but it really hits different when spoken out loud.

kind of a fun realization seeing how the reason the example comment at the start of the video knows about it in the first place are the same people he's trying to use that argument against.

So 1973 I was in 6th grade and all the scientist agreed we were headed for another ice age from man’s pollution .
They too had an agenda just like the players today .

I’m in the middle of a debate about climate change and rising sea level right now

I've not got an issue with is it us or isn't it. I have an issue with us being told we need to be more "Carbon neutral" BUT the politicians don't actually do anything about it, they just take more money and MOVE the carbon footprint to another country to then say that we are doing out bit.

The first rule of science: IT'S NEVER THAT SIMPLE.

Our system would not be regulated without freezing and freezing is something that cannot be stopped, that's how California had record braking snow two years in a row.

In Hungary, our government just started forcing cutting out trees in a never before seen rate, and our way of handling natural values has never been good either. It's so sad.

I appreciate the vid and the explanation. But why do you use a graph at 3.00 min, where the distance down to -1.5% is equal to the distance up of 0.5%? According to the graph, the temperature dropped 1.5% from 1880 to 1910. From the 1940s to the 1970s it seems to have returned to the temperature of 1880. Then the temperature goes up approximately 0.8%, however the distance going up in the graph is three time that of the distance going down per 1%. As a result, the temperature going up from the 1970s seems visually much more than the shift down from 1880 to 1910, but the real temperature shift, according to your graph, has been 0.8% up compared to 1.5% down. Why did you make this skewd comparison?

Canada has had their first Grass fire 4/15 this year and the rain hasn't stopped in California yet, better to burn the grass now than in June.

What really convinces me about an issue is You Tube telling me what to think. Thanks You Tube!

As long as money runs the world, it will always be about money.

[GrowWithConrad]

an important question for all viewers of this regardless of what side you believe is “what piece of data or evidence would cause you to change your mind?”

Hey! I am from Brazil and I loved this class. We are going through difficult times because of the tragedy in Rio Grande do Sul and your class explained a lot. Thank you

Remember when there was that solar flare that wiped out all of the pagers (pre-cell phones)? I had my pager that day and thought nothing of it, but all the rest of the doctors in the hospital were blissfully unaware that the Emergency Room lit up and the nurses were screaming "Where are all the doctors? I've paged EVERYBODY!"
