Response to “The Global Warming Hoax Lord Monckton & Stefan Molyneux”
19:35
Are humans contributing only 3% of CO2 in the atmosphere?
19:13
The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: The Battle Continues
35:11 | A central figure in the controversy over human-caused climate change has been “The Hockey Stick”.
Global Warming vs. Global Cooling
2:32 | Weren’t scientists all freaking out about global cooling in the ‘70s? So what’s with the global waring freak out now? And – more importantly – how awesome are my parties??
Response to “DEBUNKED: Top 5 “Climate Change” Myths” by Louder with Crowder
15:59 | I decided to do a rebuttal because the “5 myths” included on Crowder’s website included one that I had been wanting to address for a while…
Modern vs. past climate change
5:09 | Peter Jacobs explains all the human fingerprints that have convinced scientists that climate change today is being caused by humans.
Human CO2 emissions trump volcanoes’
5:39 | Andy Skuce examines how CO2 emissions from human activity compare to CO2 emissions from volcanoes and finds humans release much more.
Structure of an effective debunking
3:23 | John Cook introduces the “Fact-Myth-Fallacy” structure for debunking misinformation.
Faux Pause: Global Warming Continues Unabated
2:09 | A discussion of the common but false claim by climate change contrarians that global warming has “stopped” or “paused”.
Scientific consensus and arguments from authority
17:13 | This video follows on from my video “Meet The Scientists.”
Flu Shots
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
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.
Methane clathrate feedback
7:18 | Andy Skuce discusses a myth that exaggerates the potential risk from methane clathrate feedback.
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 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.
Increasing greenhouse effect
4:09 | Mark Richardson examines how greenhouse gases intensify the greenhouse effect and busts the myth that our atmosphere is “saturated.”
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
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.
Why global temperatures never go up in straight lines
14:31
What do you say to someone who says the science isn’t settled?
2:16 | Gavin Schmidt, Kevin Anderson, Erik Conway and Erick Fernandes tell us what they say to someone who asks if the science is settled.
13 Misconceptions About Global Warming
6:49 | Common misconceptions about climate change.
The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches From The Front Lines
43:38 | “The Hockey Stick” has been a central figure in the controversy over human-caused (“anthropogenic”) climate change.
Ask a Climate Scientist: CO2 and Temperature
1:40 | Is there any merit to the studies that show that historical CO2 levels lag behind temperature, and not lead them?
The evidence for climate change WITHOUT computer models or the IPCC
16:02
Science vs. the Feelies
16:47
Does CO2 lead or lag global temperature?
13:10
Arctic versus Antarctic Sea Ice
7:20 | Suggestions that modest increases in sea ice around Antarctica offset significant losses in Arctic sea ice are based on a bogus “apples and oranges” comparison.
Global warming has stopped? Again??
6:00
Medieval Warm Period – fact vs. fiction
20:02 | This video looks at the scientific research to answer three basic questions: 1) Was the Medieval Warm Period global? 2) Was it warmer than today? 3) And what does this all mean anyway?
How to Talk to an Ostrich – “We’re not Addicted to Burning!”
3:04 | What happens if we burn through all the coal and oil, and shale gas?
How to Talk to an Ostrich: “Who says CO2 heats things up?”
1:47 | The atmosphere doesn’t care whether you study it for warring, or warming. Adding CO2 turns up the planet’s thermostat.
How to talk to an Ostrich: “Global Warming Stopped in 1998!”
2:36 | Geoscientist and climate expert Richard Alley connects the dots of temperature to show the difference between short-term trends and long term direction.
How to talk to an Ostrich: “IT’S US”
2:40 | Richard Alley address a common argument about climate change: that increasing amounts of carbon dioxide, CO2, are coming from natural sources, like volcanoes.
How to talk to an Ostrich: The Pentagon & Climate Change
3:38 | Admiral David Titley, director of Task Force Climate Change, explains why the Pentagon accepts climate change as real, and how it’s impacting military planning.
How to Talk to an Ostrich: Today’s CO2 is nothing Special
3:25 | When Earth was much, much hotter it was fine for dinosaurs. We might not like it quite so much.
How to talk to an Ostrich: “We don’t know enough…”
2:21 | It’s true that Earth’s a massive jigsaw puzzle, with lots of pieces intricately fitting together. But, Richard Alley argues, we already know enough to see the Big Picture.
