Ask a Climate Scientist: Global Warming Pause?
1:09 | There’s not really a pause in global warming.
1:09 | There’s not really a pause in global warming.
1:40 | Is there any merit to the studies that show that historical CO2 levels lag behind temperature, and not lead them?

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.

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?
3:04 | What happens if we burn through all the coal and oil, and shale gas?
1:47 | The atmosphere doesn’t care whether you study it for warring, or warming. Adding CO2 turns up the planet’s thermostat.
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.
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.
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.
3:25 | When Earth was much, much hotter it was fine for dinosaurs. We might not like it quite so much.
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.
4:18 | Some people say transitioning to clean energy will simply cost too much – “leave it to future generations.”
5:53 | The headlines recently announcing no melting of Himalayan glaciers for the past 10 years are, no surprise, not entirely accurate or telling the whole story.

9:24 | A paper by researchers at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies led to sensational headlines that the Earth will only warm by as much as 1.64 degrees centigrade — in a couple of centuries. Sound too good to be true? Of course it does.
12:47 | Three more myths, misunderstood by both proponents and critics of climate science: Global Warming means more hurricanes, drowned islands and dead coral reefs.

9:14 | This video also looks at whether other planets are also warming, and an Internet myth that NASA is now attributing warming to the sun.
9:22 | Are climatologists censoring scientific journals and silencing alternative hypotheses on climate change?
9:54 | Now that the conspiracy theorists have blown off steam, it’s time for a more sober analysis of those e-mails and what they mean.
10:59 | More urban myths about climate change are busted as I look at the Earth’s climate over the last 500 million years. What causes it to change?
9:59 | This video looks at urban myths spawned by two iconic films – An Inconvenient Truth and The Great Global Warming Swindle.
7:27 | Like many ingrained myths, this one is so ubiquitous that it takes an awful lot of hard evidence to convince true believers that it’s been fabricated.
