Climate change: is capitalism the problem?
13:34 | Is capitalism the problem? And if that’s the case, what should we do instead? This is a guest video by Hazel Thayer.
Global Warming: The Century We Saved Earth
1:10:40 | In this documentary I present a fictional, optimistic account of the 21st century, told retrospectively from the year 2100.
The bias problem with climate satellites
16:33 | Earlier this year I had the opportunity to visit the European Space Agency’s climate office, and speak to scientists about their work monitoring the Earth from above.
Why is it the ‘climate crisis’ now?
12:51 | A few thoughts on language and the climate crisis.
Are humans really behind the extra CO2 in the atmosphere?
10:20 | In this video I present three reasons for why we are very confident that changes in atmospheric CO2 are because of humans rather than some natural cause.
How far can I go on my solar powered bike?
21:41 | I try to cycle to 200km to London using my Ridgeback electric bike, towing a solar panel behind me to charge the battery.
Fridges: the key to keeping Earth cool?
11:21 | According to at least one well-respected ranking of solutions to climate change, refrigeration is the number one way we can reduce carbon emissions.
How to decarbonise transport
17:45 | This video is an overview of one – at least quasi- realistic pathway to slashing transport emissions.
The Many Errors of An Inconvenient Truth
22:37 | An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary film from 2006 by Al Gore. The year after it was released it was hauled in front of the UK high court, and found to be riddled with errors. What are these errors, and what can they tell us about climate science?
Global Warming: The Decade We Lost Earth
45:20 | The story of how one man cost us a world with less than 2°C of warming in 1989. This is a follow-up video to Global Warming: An Inconvenient History, going into much more detail of events from 1979 to 1989.
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.
Why the sun CANNOT be behind global warming
8:09 | One part of the atmosphere has been cooling down for the past few decades and it provides a smoking gun evidence for what is behind the climate crisis. Let’s talk about where that is, and why that is.
Climate change in review: 2021
14:07 | I made some 2021 climate change predictions in a video this January, so let’s see how I did!
What the Hockey Stick missed about climate change
11:34 | A new paper by Osman et al reconstructed the past 24,000 years of climate using new techniques, and gave us new insights into just how unprecedented anthropogenic global warming really is.
Why have climate change predictions been so WRONG?
9:57 | Well, as it turns out, there’s a very good reason. Because they’re right most of the time, and their predictions, including those of the IPCC, have been borne out by reality.
Good news and bad news from the IPCC report
16:11 | The latest report from the IPCC makes for grim reading, but I think hidden in the pages there are also some pieces of good news. I talk about both in this video.
How the Cold War led us to Climate Change
11:01 | In this video I talk about the genesis of climate change in the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union.
How clouds influence climate change
9:26 | This video talks about how clouds interact with climate – what happens when we warm the planet, and will clouds act as a positive or a negative feedback?
The surprising bias in climate satellites (and models)
16:41 | This video is about satellite measurements of the Earth’s climate, the climate models used by scientists, and why they both don’t line up with reality.
Want to understand climate change? Read these 5 books
10:56 | Climate change can be overwhelming. It is the biggest challenge currently facing the world. So here are five books that you can read to understand it better.
Why nuclear power will (and won’t) stop climate change
41:04 | In this video I discuss the relative role nuclear power will play in our future. In short: it’s complicated. But nuclear isn’t essential, merely very useful.
If the world is warming, why are there more polar bears now?
12:32 | The crooked scientific mainstream would have us believe that the Arctic is melting and the world is on fire, but if that’s true then why are there so many polar bears?
How much does local meat help the environment?
6:01 | If you can’t face being vegetarian or vegan, eating local meat is still much better for the environment – right?
Whatever happened to GLOBAL COOLING?
15:52 | In the 1970s scientists were warning us that we were about to enter into a new ice age, and that global cooling was going to be the end of all civilisation. So what happened?
PhD reviews climate change in Civ VI: Gathering Storm
11:11 | I talk about the game’s mechanics, the frequency of extreme weather events, and the knock-on effects on human behaviour in the game.
