The Top 10 Inconvenient Facts About Climate Change

Error correction: at 14:52 we said "orange means there's an upward trend and blue means a downward trend" but the reverse is true; orange is downward and blue is upward. White still means no signal in data.

In this "Fact Check" video from the Climate Discussion Nexus, Dr. John Robson examines 10 crucial facts about climate change, from the Earth being in an Ice Age right now to the lack of evidence of a crisis to computer models not working, that activists, politicians and journalists wouldn't like to talk about even if they knew about them.

As always we welcome comments. But please leave out the vulgarity (even as acronyms), allegations of criminality, conspiracy theories and angrily incomprehensible insults. Keep it clean, folks. Including please avoiding bodily functions in the comments, especially gross ones. Even if something is legitimately upsetting there are other ways of saying it.

And BTW since we've had some requests for links to sources in this video (which will appear underneath the video on our website as soon as we've checked the transcript for accuracy) here are the key ones for all ten items... plus one:
#10: We’re in an ice age

#9: Thermometers invented during a Little Ice Age

#8 Data for less than 50% of Earth’s surface

#7 CO2 far higher previously

#6 97% Consensus

#5 CO2 small warming effect

#4 IPCC Doesn’t call it an emergency

#3 No connection with extreme weather

#2 Exaggerated scenarios

#1 Too much warming in models

#11 Low ECS means no mitigation

It's all about money and control....Always has been.

People have tried to scare me about the climate since 1972. I am done!

[shag]

So bottom line is it’s been hotter and colder with more and less CO2 long before man was doing a damn thing. Seems pretty reasonable.

[gusmc]

Generations from now (assuming humans can keep from destroying themselves in the mean time) people will look back at the 'global warming alarmist' with pity and disdain for how much resources they wasted trying to stop something they could never have controlled to begin with and for how much they stopped human progress due to irrational fear

[ArchibaldCoke]

How can something that's not even noticeable be a crisis?

[anthonycyr]

Be careful, YouTube doesn't like the truth..

[mdturnerinoz]

Fear: fear causes a call to action; a call to action calls for a government grant; the government grant funds the fear-monger(s); the cycle repeats.

This video should be mandatory viewing for all media journalists and politicians from local councilors to parliamentarians and all primary and secondary students at least once a year. Sadly the Tertiary students have already locked in to their psyches to make any difference to their thinking.

[timw]

These videos are logical, backed by real data and analyzed to see what comes of it, rather than forcing an outcome. A truly refreshing discussion.

Australia. They’ve homogenised all past temperatures to make it hotter than ever before .

[DarthChrisB]

You forgot to include the fact that climate models don't model the climate. They don't even include cloud coverage.

I'd like to know where all the billions of dollars went.

[TheSpuggy]

I’m amazed that you haven’t been cancelled by all governments. You are stopping them making lots of money for themselves

I'm in California's South San Joaquin Valley and we've been cooking lately with temps hitting 114°F. This would worry me, but I'm 70 years old and have seen it here a couple of times before. Keep up the good work

[tyrport]

Like the old George Carlin joke: Here’s the temperature at the airport. Which is kinda weird because I don’t know anyone who lives at the airport. The Hippe Dippee Weather Man

[raincoast]

Don't present too many facts you will get a strike against the channel.

[lancebarnes]

I just wish more people would understand this type of information, so then they might make better informed decisions. I'm glad I've been financially supportive of this channel for over a year now. Good work, CDN. Glad you are out there.
