Climate Change Library Pro and Con
Segment # 123
I have wanted to put together a Climate Change Reference Library for awhile. It took some time but here is lots of information pro and con which you can refer to from time to time. The climate change debate or rather lack of debate is v ery similar to what we have encountered with COVID. We were told by the “experts” that vaccines were safe, effective, and would protect against the spread. That, of course, was not true. And despite contrary opinions from prestigious experts from Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Oxford etc all debate was censored. With climate change we are told the same with prevailing “experts” saying there is total agreement identifying man and C02 as the driving force for the destruction of our planet. There is very thoughtful science from very highly regarded experts that is contrary to mainstream thought but they too have been censored. What I have offered below is the data for you to make up your own mind. This data base will be evolving as we add more relevant information.
Shocker when you try to search on information about climate change that is contrary to the accepted “settled science”, it is not easy, and you really have to dig for “contrary science”, which our government …. the arbiter of all that is true… calls misinformation. If the science is settled, and the government and corporate elite are so confident of their arguments, why do we need so much censorship?
As we learned with COVID, truce science is never settled. So I spent some time burrowing into the recesses of the internet to find information ‘pro & con’ about man’s role in global warming. Like COVID, there is one hell of a lot of people that are speaking out as experts that don’t have a clue what they are talking about. Unfortunately, many people just can’t take the time to sort out this difference. For now, the states are high, as our government moves to restrict our habits and to eliminate freedom of movement and choice.
Just like COVID, look at the list below of brilliant and highly-regarded experts that have been silenced. We know how bad these folks screwed up COVID. They are doing it again. Below, you will see proof using THEIR data that the earth might well be entering a cooling period as soon as 2025. Your will also see a Lancet study that documents cold weather kills 67 per 100,000 people while hot weather kills 7 per 100,000. You may not have heard from the “experts” that in the historical record the earth did quite well at 1500 ppm C02 which is a bit higher than the current levels of 462 ppm. You probably have not heard of the inconsistencies in the analysis of temperature monitoring devices. You may be unaware from our experts that our historical record of CO2 lags, meaning that temperature drives C02 not C02 drives temperature. I feel certain you have not heard the Nobel Laureate John Clauser clearly states that C02 and methane are inconsequential in the climate debate, and that the sun and clouds are the primary driver of climate.
With literally trillions of dollars at stake, the potential lives of billions of people, why aren’t we at least hearing a debate? There is no worship of climate gods in Russia, India, and China… they are building coal plants weekly and positioning their people to be successful. We are not. Here’s what’s happening ‘pro & con’ for you to consider. At the very least, there are compelling arguments and data that at a minimum require debate before policy.
First Let’s dispel the major climate change lie that “99% of all climate scientists support the opinion that mankind is having a disastrous impact on the climate”.
More than 99% of studies agree that humans have caused climate change. 12
Specifically:
A 2021 study found that between 91% (all scientists) to 100% (climate scientists with high expertise) agree that human activity is causing climate change. 5
A 2021 analysis of 80,000 climate-related studies published between 2012-2020 found that 99.85% (95% confidence interval of 99.62%-99.96%) of papers were not skeptical of the human cause of climate change.
Previous studies have also found overwhelming consensus, with estimates ranging from 97% to over 99.9% of climate scientists agreeing on the human cause of climate change.
The search results indicate that the scientific consensus on the human-caused nature of climate change is extremely strong, with only a tiny fraction of studies dissenting from this view. The consensus spans the vast majority of climate scientists and published research on the topic.

Scientists Bullied Into Falling In Line With Climate Change Narrative: H. Sterling Burnett
Sep-14-2023
We often hear the line about how “scientists agree” on climate change. We hear that it’s “settled science”— a “consensus.” Nobody would dare to question it. Only a conspiracy theorist would doubt these facts that the experts have declared to be conclusive. Who are we to question them? Well, it turns out that the settled science is not actually based on science. Instead, it’s based on bullying. Actual scientists who know that the claims aren’t credible are bullied into saying otherwise. Here to speak with us about this is H. Sterling Burnett, a senior fellow on environmental policy at the Heartland Institute. Editors are attacked for publishing contrary opinions. Funding is withheld from scientists with contrary opinions. Why do “99 % of all scientists” agree that climate change is driven by human activity – the because the rest are censored and shut out. Obviously, the 99% number is fake; however, the concept is like creating a group of 30,000 blond men and then asking a statistician to confirm that they are all blond and then concluding that all men on planet earth are blond. It is moronic and speaks volumes about the “scientists” that propagate this lie.

An Inconvenient Truth – 2006 – Al Gore - Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim follows Al Gore on the lecture circuit, as the former presidential candidate campaigns to raise public awareness of the dangers of global warming and calls for immediate action to curb its destructive effects on the environment. - https://pluto.tv/en/on-demand/movies/5bad6e86ac5d753a4b63db42?utm_medium=textsearch&utm_source=google
An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power - 2017
Ten years after Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth movie brought climate change into the forefront of mainstream culture, this compelling follow-up shows that, while the stakes have never been higher, the solutions to the climate crisis are still within our reach.
Climate The Movie (The Cold Truth) 2024 – Martin Durkin - https://vimeo.com/924719370
https://rumble.com/v4k2ij6-climate-the-movie-the-cold-truth.html
This film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It shows that mainstream studies and official data do not support the claim that we are witnessing an increase in extreme weather events – hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and all the rest. It, emphatically, counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high. On the contrary, it is very clearly the case, as can be seen in all mainstream studies, that, compared to the last half billion years of earth’s history, both current temperatures and CO2 levels are extremely and unusually low. We are currently in an ice age. It also shows that there is no evidence that changing levels of CO2 (it has changed many times) has ever ‘driven’ climate change in the past.
Why, then, are we told again and again that ‘catastrophic man-made climate-change’ is an irrefutable fact? Why are we told that there is no evidence that contradicts it? Why are we told that anyone who questions ‘climate chaos’ is a ‘flat-earther’ and a ‘science-denier’?
The film explores the nature of the consensus behind climate change. It describes the origins of the climate-funding bandwagon and the rise of the trillion-dollar climate industry. It describes the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on the climate crisis. It explains the enormous pressure on scientists and others not to question the climate alarm: the withdrawal of funds, rejection by science journals, social ostracism.
But the climate alarm is much more than a funding and jobs bandwagon. The film explores the politics of climate. From the beginning, the climate scare was political. The culprit and enemy was free-market industrial capitalism. The solution was higher taxes and more regulation. From the start, the climate alarm appealed to and has been adopted and promoted by those groups who favour bigger government.
This is the unspoken political divide behind the climate alarm. The climate scare appeals especially to all those in the sprawling publicly-funded establishment. This includes the largely publicly-funded Western intelligentsia, for whom climate has become a moral cause. In these circles, to criticise or question the climate alarm has become a breach of social etiquette. The film was shot on location in the U.S., Israel, Kenya and UK.
The Great Global Warming Swindle (Documentary) BBC – Martin Durkin 2007
https://rumble.com/v4lt4p8-the-great-global-warming-swindle-documentary.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYhCQv5tNsQ
This television documentary first aired on British TV channel 4 in March, 2007. Producer Martin Durkin argues against the massively promoted, but virtually unchallenged assumption, that global warming (now called 'climate change') is man-made. In a sense, it IS man-made because weather has been modified and controlled since at least the 1940s. http://www.newworldwar.org/weatherwar.htm The ballyhoo surrounding the 'approved scientific' theory of anthropogenic global warming is in fact, the biggest scam of this era.

If temperatures are expected to rise with industrial production, why did they fall during post war boom from 1940 – 1975
For Al Gore’s theory of climate change to work, C02 must drive temperature. It’s exactly the opposite, with the ice core data showing an 800-year lag, meaning that temperature drives C02…. that is clearly an inconvenient truth

Climate Change Doubters Could Be Criminalized as Rhetoric Escalates: James Gorrie
Oct-06-2023
There’s a new push to label and punish people who reject the official narrative on climate change. People who don’t believe in the concept are being labeled as threats to humanity. And proposals on what to do with them include censorship—or worse. Here to speak with us about this is James Gorrie, Epoch Times contributor and author of “The China Crisis.”
Scientists Conduct Experiment With Aerosols in the Sky to Fight Climate Change | Facts Matter 2024 - https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/secretive-experiment-shoots-aerosols-into-sky-to-increase-cloud-cover-facts-matter-5624329
Unbeknownst to most people, scientists have begun to conduct a secretive experiment that involves shooting aerosols into the sky in the hope of preventing global warming. Specifically, this is a solar geoengineering experiment in San Francisco that’s trying to create brighter clouds that would, in theory at least, reflect more sunlight away from the earth…. Let’s go through the details of this plan, as well as the pushback across state legislatures.
Controversial Test Carried Out to Dim the Earth for Climate Change; Wearing Jeans Now a Threat to Global Warming - https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/controversial-experiment-inserts-aerosol-particles-into-sky-to-fight-climate-change-5624714 - A test was recently carried out to decrease sunlight reaching the earth by deflecting it back into space. A “cloud brightening” operation was just carried out on a decommissioned aircraft carrier in San Francisco. The idea is to help fight alleged global warming by reducing the amount of sunlight. It’s part of a broader program of what’s known as solar geoengineering, and programs like this are beginning to gain momentum as a part of proposed solutions in climate policy.
In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss this story and others, and answer questions from the audience.
Junk Science Being Used to Justify the Climate Change Narrative: Steve Milloy – 2024 - https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/junk-science-being-used-to-justify-the-climate-change-narrative-steve-milloy-5597543 - We’ve all seen the Headlines: a doomsday glacier is going to sink cities across the globe, illegal immigrants are fleeing to America because of climate change, and many more along these lines. But, is any of it true? Well according to Steve Milloy, environmental attorney and the founder of JunkScience.com, the answer is “No”. Many lies or half-truths are being told to justify the climate-change narrative. We speak to him about the climate-change hoax that is happening, and also how the U.S. push for green technology plays right into the Chinese Communist Party’s hands.
Faulty Evidence Is Fueling the Climate Change Narrative: Daniel Turner - https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/faulty-evidence-is-fueling-the-climate-change-narrative-daniel-turner-5592033 - According to corporate media, the world is hotter than it has ever been, and we’re supposedly experiencing the hottest days in human history. However, the data behind this narrative is actually based on faulty evidence. We speak to Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, about the big climate change lie—and how money is what’s actually driving the green agenda.

He gives analysis of how the climate issue has become an ideology and pretext for exercising power, putting burden on American consumers, and giving advantage to China.
Steven Koonin on The Limitations of Climate Change Models - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acyErLNL7kQ - Steven Koonin reviews the state of climate science, focusing on data trends, climate models, and the uncertainties involved. He highlights issues with climate models, including their high sensitivity and inability to accurately reproduce historical temperature changes, cautioning against relying on inaccurate model projections.
The biggest problem with Climate Change | Konstantin Kisin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WQCGvNp2K4 - John and Konstantin discuss the lies that are being told about how best to combat climate change and what the consequences of those lies are. Raised in the Soviet Union, Konstantin is not persuaded by leftist visions of utopia, and exhorts reasonable people to speak out against the 'woke mob'. He also argues that multiculturalism should be rebranded as multi-ethnic societies with a 'monoculture', uniting everyone from different backgrounds. Konstantin Kisin is a writer, social commentator, comedian, and co-host of the free speech podcast Triggernometry. He is a regular on British and American TV and radio shows including Question Time, Good Morning Britain, BBC Breakfast, Daily Politics, LBC Cross Question, Tucker Carlson, the Megyn Kelly Show, and many others. Konstantin has written for publications including the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator, Tablet Magazine, Quillette, and Standpoint as well as his first book, An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West. More recently, he spoke at the inaugural Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference in London, England.
This Well Known Effect Breaks the Climate Narrative - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhCKYvETYDc Dr. Jordan Peterson and Dr. Richard Lindzen - Premise: Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Richard Lindzen: Key Points Climate Alarmists Get Wrong 2023 - https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/richard-lindzen-key-points-climate-alarmists-get-wrong-5533100 - “Climate is one of the earliest examples of cancel culture … I don’t think the public is quite aware of the pressures that were brought to bear to get rid of opposition to this,” Mr. Lindzen says. In this episode, he breaks down key mistaken assumptions he sees fueling the climate extremism we see today, and explains why many climate policies, from the push to reduce cattle to bans on synthetic fertilizers, have been counterproductive and harmful.
“And you see these policies have had no impact on CO2. So they have done nothing to prevent this alleged existential threat, except make people poorer, make society less stable, less resilient. And you can only account for that with either ignorance or sadism,” Mr. Lindzen says.
The Real Reason Behind the ‘Climate Emergency’ Push – 2023 https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/the-real-reason-behind-the-climate-emergency-push-5476017 President Joe Biden is being pressed to declare a national emergency over climate change. This is despite an executive action and hundreds of billions of dollars he pushed through on the climate agenda. The question remains then: Why is the establishment still pushing for a ‘climate emergency’? We delve into this issue, and what such a declaration would mean. In other news, there’s a battle on in the courts over whether the government can censor Americans by proxy.

Why renewables can’t save the planet | Michael Shellenberger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-yALPEpV4w Environmentalists have long promoted renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms to save the climate. But what about when those technologies destroy the environment? In this provocative talk, Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and energy expert, Michael Shellenberger explains why solar and wind farms require so much land for mining and energy production, and an alternative path to saving both the climate and the natural environment. Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine Hero of the Environment and President of Environmental Progress, a research and policy organization. A lifelong environmentalist, Michael changed his mind about nuclear energy and has helped save enough nuclear reactors to prevent an increase in carbon emissions equivalent to adding more than 10 million cars to the road. He lives in Berkeley, California. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
Why I changed my mind about nuclear power | Michael Shellenberger - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciStnd9Y2ak For more information on Michael Shellenberger, please visit www.tedxberlin.de. Michael Shellenberger is co-founder and Senior Fellow at the Breakthrough Institute, where he was president from 2003 to 2015, and a co-author of the Ecomodernist Manifesto. Over the last decade, Michael and his colleagues have constructed a new paradigm that views prosperity, cheap energy and nuclear power as the keys to environmental progress. A book he co-wrote (with Ted Nordhaus) in 2007, Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility, was called by Wired magazine “the best thing to happen to environmentalism since Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring,” while Time Magazine called him a “hero of the environment.” In the 1990s, he helped protect the last signi cant groves of old-growth redwoods still in private hands and bring about labor improvements to Nike factories in Asia.

An Honest & Sensible Conversation about Global Energy | Scott Tinker - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTfwqvNuk44 This is a talk that everyone has to watch. In the real world, we have to make real trade-offs between climate security, energy poverty, and energy security. Energy is necessary for lifting much of the world out of poverty, however, climate concerns are also real considerations. We need to start a constructive, and honest conversation about these trade-offs. Dr Scott Tinker is the director of the Bureau of Economic Geology, the State Geologist of Texas, professor at The University of Texas at Austin, Chairman of the Switch Energy Alliance, and CEO of Tinker Energy Associates.

All the major climate models fail to address the complexities of one key variable, says Nobel laureate John Clauser. He won the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics for his contributions to quantum mechanics. Mr. Clauser was one of two Nobel laureates to recently sign a declaration organized by the Clintel Foundation alongside 1,600 other scientists and professionals, stating “there is no climate emergency.” In this episode, Mr. Clauser breaks down why he considers the major climate models to be flawed, and why he believes America’s climate policies are wasteful, misguided, and counterproductive.
Today It's Global Warming; In the '70s It was the Coming Ice Age
Apr 22, 2009
On Earth Day, we commonly hear dark predictions about the looming horrors of global warming (a typical example, “What is at stake [is] our ability to live on planet Earth,” Al Gore).
Yet not so long ago the news media issued dire warnings about global cooling and a coming Ice Age. Consider these headlines:
• “The Earth’s Cooling Climate,” Science News, November 15, 1969.• “Colder Winters Held Dawn of New Ice Age,” Washington Post, January 11, 1970.• “Science: Another Ice Age?” Time Magazine, June 24, 1974.• “The Ice Age Cometh!” Science News, March 1, 1975.• “The Cooling World,” Newsweek, April 28, 1975.• “Scientists Ask Why World Climate is Changing; Major Cooling May Be Ahead,” New York Times, May 21, 1975.• “In the Grip of a New Ice Age?” International Wildlife July-August, 1975.• “A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable,” New York Times, September 14, 1975.• “Variations in the Earth’s Orbit, Pacemaker of the Ice Ages,” Science magazine, December 10, 1976.
Unsettled By Steven E. Koonan
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the science is settled." In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions—about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be—remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe.
Now, one of America's most distinguished scientists is clearing away the fog to explain what science really says (and doesn't say) about our changing climate. In Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Steven Koonin draws upon his decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to provide up-to-date insights and expert perspective free from political agendas.
Fascinating, clear-headed, and full of surprises, this book gives readers the tools to both understand the climate issue and be savvier consumers of science media in general. Koonin takes readers behind the headlines to the more nuanced science itself, showing us where it comes from and guiding us through the implications of the evidence. He dispels popular myths and unveils little-known truths: despite a dramatic rise in greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures actually decreased from 1940 to 1970. What's more, the models we use to predict the future aren't able to accurately describe the climate of the past, suggesting they are deeply flawed.
TURNING DOWN THE HEAT ON THE BOILING OCEAN NARRATIVE 2024 - https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/turning-down-the-heat-on-the-boiling-ocean-narrative/
For the past year, the media’s go-to climate change fear play has been boiling oceans. Yet simple research shows the inaccuracy of their reporting as many are looking past global warming to solar cycles pointing to possible cooling events.
