Debunking ClimateGate (Pt. 3)

Debunking ClimateGate (Pt. 3)

30:21 | In my final piece on the ClimateGate e-mails, I examine the claims that data and e-mails were deleted by the CRU, and I also take a look at FOIA requests.

Debunking ClimateGate (Pt. 1)

30:37 | Contrary to what climate change deniers claim, the ClimateGate e-mails actually do NOT discuss the destruction or hiding of data.

Is Global Warming a Global Hoax?

Is Global Warming a Global Hoax?

5:04 | If global warming is one big hoax, who’s behind the joke? And why are the vast majority of climate scientists in on it? Plus, why do they all look so much like ClimateAdam?

7:54 | John Cook explains the most effective way to debunk misinformation: fight sticky myths with even stickier facts and structure your debunking argument in three parts: fact, then myth, then fallacy.

Sticky Science

Sticky Science

8:00 | Learn about one of the best methods for making your science sticky – the SUCCES method developed by brothers Chip and Dan Heath. We use this method to respond to climate change myths.

Carbon dioxide is a pollutant

Carbon dioxide is a pollutant

3:10 | A common misunderstanding is thinking that CO2 cannot be a pollutant because CO2 isn’t toxic and it is found naturally in the atmosphere. Sara Green explains that CO2 IS a pollutant because of its effects on the environment.

The Little Ice Age

The Little Ice Age

5:42 | In this lecture, Andy Skuce explains what the so-called “little ice age” was and what caused it. Most importantly, natural factors coming out of the little ice age cannot explain our current global warming.

The greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect

4:32 | Mark Richardson takes us to the Reading University Atmospheric Observatory to explain how the greenhouse effect works. He concludes by busting the myth that the greenhouse effect violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Measuring from space

Measuring from space

4:24 | Sarah Green explains how satellites monitor outgoing radiation to measure global warming. She concludes by busting the myth that CO2 must be unimportant in our atmosphere because it is only a trace gas.

Structure of the atmosphere

Structure of the atmosphere

4:50 | Mark Richardson examines one of the human fingerprints being observed in the structure of the atmosphere and debunks a myth about the elusive tropospheric hot spot.
