Global Warming: An Inconvenient History
31:19 | The climate crisis is caused by a build up of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere. This was discovered over the course of 200 years by a large cast of chemists, physicists, geologists, and other scientists.
Eastern Pacific Ocean is cooling NOT warming! Are the climate models wrong??
11:27 | A new research paper has found some very strange temperature differences in the Eastern Pacific Ocean between climate models and observed ‘real world’ measurements. So, what’s going on?
The Falsifiability of Climate Change
11:56 | Today we shall talk about an important concept in science, falsifiability.
The Missing Link Between Hurricanes and Climate Change
9:40 | Hurricane Ian is the first major, landfalling hurricane of the 2022 season, and this has many scratching their heads. Does this cast doubt on the assumption that global warming will lead to bigger, stronger storms?
IPCC ‘Survival Guide’. Hope or delusion?
13:53 | The latest IPCC report suggests we can survive the 21st century by making unprecedented and totally radical changes in the next eight years. But are they deluding themselves and giving us a false sense of security?
Global Warming Broken Down by Latitude Zone: 1880-2021
0:47 | Global warming isn’t uniform around the planet. This visualization shows global temperature changes per latitude zone from 1880 to 2021, illustrating that the Arctic is warming much faster than other regions.
