Global warming is a scam. It’s so much of a scam that they changed the name
to climate change because the Earth hasn’t warmed in 17 years. In that 17
years co2 has gone up. There I just debated it. The “scientist” they bring
on are Bill Nye, and the paranormal investigator. Neither one of them are
climate scientist. There are 1000s of scientist speaking out about this.
CNN on record receives 100s of millions of Dollars a year from the US to
spread this propaganda.
“Climate change is not debatable” Then why is CNN still debating it????
Global warming fake
Watch this!
You know when to be suspicious when REAL skeptics are called “deniers” in
an attempt to group them in with “Holocaust deniers”. Other scientists
have asked legitimate questions and have been shouted down for doing so.
That is not science!
World’s top climate scientists told to ‘cover up’ the fact that the Earth’s
temperature hasn’t risen for the last 15 years

Even if man made global warming were real, which it’s not, how would giving
Al Gore money fix this? What good does it do to shut down clean burning
plants here, when they’re opening up dirty ones in China? Why are the
dirtiest plants like GE’s allowed to operate? Is it because huge corps.
like GE run this country? It’s all designed to destroy competition, and
steal our money.
Dr. Michio Kaku – Total Quack
Yeah they do have two side and yes climate change still have this, ask
environmental historians, they do question this a lot given a lot of these
people have political agenda and many of these models have been proven
dead wrong and even the science has been proven off or dead wrong.
Climate change deniers need to go to the back of line when there are food
and water shortages. In addition teaching children that this is not real
and other nonsense such as creationism should be treated as a crime against
humanity and considered child abuse..
“climate change” is a religion of the UN.
That was a paid infomercial sponsored by the religion of “climate change”.
Among scientists there’s nothing scientific about the religion.
Well, not only because of the remarkable progress science has showed me in
recent years, but Dr. Kaku is exactly right that science and the scientific
community worldwide confirmed on the fact of Global warming as it is
happening, with proven mathematical formulas, computer programs and so on
so forth.
If skeptics are so right and confirmed in their suspicions as well, Dr.
Kaku is right that come to us with a proven method that will deny our
calculations, but none has yet arrived. Now, coming to the major point,
what do you think is left for skeptics and corrupt politicians alike? They
are continuing tehir dirty works while the planet is badly affecting from
it and actually most of us the people are giving them chance to ruin our
only life spot in universe. Global warming is indeed happening and extreme
weather is now more frequent then ever. So wake up til it is too late!
energy from space.
Michio Kaku explains.
this reporter is and should be the benchmark for how news is delivered to
audiences, great story
Global warming a hoax? Only in america. Our future looks grim indeed. :(
Geoengineering
Our own government is poisoning us via chemtrails and h.a.r.r.p.
Uncle Sam even published a manual of how he’s doing it. Google
‘Owning The Weather In 2025’. It’s not conspiracy. It’s a fact!!
And do look up next time you go outside. Those are chemicals raining
down on YOU, your kids, your pets, your food.. yikes!
The debate isn’t really about whether climate change exists or not. It’s
about how much of it is man made and whether or not humanity is facing
catastrophic consequences as the alarmists would have everyone believe.
In order to begin to understand why so much debate still exists you first
need to accept that science doesn’t exist to provide us with proof or truth
and it’s definitely not about “consensus”. The practice of scientific
investigation involves tools to help us explain how the physical world
MIGHT work. The explanation doesn’t have to be true to be useful, just
consistent with most of the evidence.
Even though paleoclimatologists try to reconstruct the climates of past
centuries or millennia through proxy measurements, there is simply no way
to verify how accurate those interpretations are. The MSM and IPCC would
like you to believe that climate science is hard science. But it isn’t.
It’s really more about advancing an international political agenda.
And it’s not even about advancing the environmentalist agenda as much as it
is about redistribution of the world’s wealth. The climate change alarmists
at the IPCC openly admit to this fact.
IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer, speaking in November 2010, advised that:
“…one has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate
policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how
we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth…”
Don’t fight the data.
CNN growing a pair. Wow!
Kaku one day I will reach civilization 3..
the main problem i have is that its entirely based on the theory of
irradience, were the long length waves are supposed to be trapped by these
green house gas’s in the upper troposphere and thats were this change
should primarily be taken place, but temperatures in the upper troposphere
arnt rising as much as on the ground, but for the theory to be true it
should be getting hotter up higher quicker and the ground should be
lagging, how can this be real if this isnt the case seeing as thats the
entire basis for it? and why do they have michio kaku, a physicist on
talking about something way out of his field. im sure he means well but hes
hardly an authority on weather effects
It’s not an 800 pound gorilla in the room, it’s a 35 ton apatosaurus and it
is roaring.
The mainstream media are guilty of a gross dereliction of duty by not
informing the population about the facts so they can vote appropriately,
and we all know why – the solutions threaten the profits of the fossil fuel
industry so they lean on the media and pull political strings and try to
create a reassuring and alternative reality. It is not working though –
even they cannot hide 3 year droughts, multibillion dollar storms and polar
vortices, although they keep trying.
The debate is over – it is us, it is bad and it’ll get worse.
Even if we could switch to renewables overnight and dump carbon there is
still warming in the pipeline as the planet continues to equilibrate.
We can’t do very much against that yet, but we can act to prevent a bad
dream from becoming a nightmare.
Every time this can is kicked down the road, it doubles in size.

Great video – thanks. So why debate the irrefutable? News organizations are
an entertainment BUSINESS; perhaps debating climate change plays to the
buying demographic. As for the those is denial; when do some people put
their seatbelts on? AFTER the accident… if they’re still around. The
EVIDENCE meant nothing to them. Sometimes it takes disaster to convince,
and even then…
The truth will set us ALL FREE!!!
The earth goes through natural changes. Google lost lands and read about
natural changes dating back to prehistoric dino eras. Humans as intelligent
beings want to control the future. Mother nature will not be controlled.
Ok climate change means climate change not global warming it could mean
it’s getting colder and why do you even want global warming to be true
No but it can be fixed. Lol.
I’m Jesus I think. Yes it’s man made.
Odd hearing this on CNN but glad it happened.
#climatechange #journalism
Climate change isn’t debatable, I agree with that. But what is debatable,
is if C02 is the cause of climate change. Every prediction, every computer
model prediction were HUGELY false. The sun is mostly the cause of climate
change and the burning of fossil fuels is very miniscule, but that won’t
stop the sheep from lapping this propaganda up.
The 97% consensus is a complete fallacy. That 2,500 IPCC connected
scientists agreed climate change was man-made, when the actual number was
only 25. In shock at the paltry numbers, the Univerisity of Illinois
solicited 10,257 earth scientists with a measley 2 question online survey
and only 77 took the survey! 77 out of 10,257 scientists took the 2
question survey!! And 75 of the 77 scientists agreed with the two
questions asked in the survey; That’s how they got their rediculous 97%
consensus, lol! Anybody who believes that there is a 97% consensus is a
fool just like that CNN anchor. Get a new cause you freaks; maybe start
worrying about that radiated water from Fukushima washing up on the west
coast.
“we’re not going to be prepared for the future” – Michio Kaku. Millions
are being affected worldwide by extreme and catastrophic weather. Should
we be spending more time and energy responding to the situation, than
debating? If so, what can we each do in response, preparation and
amelioration of conditions that are likely to affect each of us at some
point? http://www.GreatWavesOfChange.org
The A.M.A. and Surgeons General testified in congress in 1969 that smoking
causes lung cancer and nowadays scientists know that human actions are
causing climate change. The tobacco industry testified before congress in
1969 that the science was not settled due to the fact that they hadn’t
caused lung cancer in any animal from cig smoke and now our fossil fuel
interests are saying similarly that we haven’t done a scientific study on
planets to prove that our actions cause climate change, so, science is not
settled. I’m pleased to hear James Hansen solemnly declare that scientists
who deny this are part of a “crime against humanity, and nature when they
really know what is going on just to keep up their profits”. Forgive me
for my own phraseology that they are crime committing criminal lying liars
who tell us that we haven’t caused climate change nor can we do anything
about it. This is just as if our leadership were telling people in a
crowded theater, not fire, but rather that there is no fire so stay
seated. Remember that restaurant fire a few years ago, the people stayed
in their seats waiting to pay and tip before they left, they were following
their social script, and they died for it. Society is this way with
climate change, only its a harder problem than that. Our leaders are
telling us to keep polluting, much less warning us to go sustainable. Lets
work together in a neighborly way and mitigate this, and live well through
to the new Anthropocene Epoch now that we are leaving the Holocene Epoch.
The answer to this “man-made global warming” problem is for the warmists
lapdogs to sterilize or depopulate themselves so they can reduce their
“carbon footprint.” LOL! Get lives.. You CNN watching sheep are in the
wrong fight. The spraying of aluminum and barium into the atmosphere has
more to do with climate change than the burning of fossil fuels.
9 out of 10 dentists say brushing your teeth with paste helps prevent
cavities…
… So, let’s go with that one dentist. Eh?
Our planet has survived things worse than climate change, we on the other
hand…
the 97% number is 100% fake and the only way they came to that number was
carefully selecting who to ask
yes we all agree the climate is changing. It would be really scary if it
didn’t. Kaku is full of shit. The ones who do have data is the Deniers! The
models failed miserably.
Satellite measurement show lack of warming trend in the last decade and a
half. Here is your data Kaku!
This is Journalistic Malpractice.
The negative effects of humanity on the planet are obvious and everywhere.
How can anyone not see that?
Debates are entirely inappropriate when discussing science. Aristotle and
his rhetoric have provided humanity with zero insight over the past 2400
years. Science is about empiricism, not dialogue.
They say climate change. They don’t say global cooling. They don’t say
global warming. These alarmist started out trying to panic people about a
coming ice age. When that didn’t get any traction they switched it to
global warming. Now that even the UN has to admit that, there is no global
warming, they are switching it to Climate Change. What does that even mean?
Does it mean that the climate must be changing but they don’t know wether
it is getting warmer or colder. Let’s face it. It’s a scam. The global
warming guys don’t really want it colder. What they really want is a weapon
to use against capitalism.
Climate change is a natural occurrence, its been happening for about 4
billion years. Attempts to blame humanity for it is patently absurd, like
throwing a firecracker into a blazing building and blaming the firecracker
for the damage. I know we should reduce pollution, even if only for
ourselves; but forcing me to use cancer-causing lightbulbs will not “save
the planet”!
“Why don’t we call it Global Warming again?” “Oh, that’s because Global
Warming is a giant crock of shit and everybody knows it. By calling it
Climate Change, we can continue our agenda of blaming humans.” Well folks
you heard it here. Global warming really is dead. The Earth stopped warming
16 years ago s they call it Climate Change now. As if humans are
responsible for Climate Change. How much money will it take to stop the
climate from changing? 80 degrees for everyone on the planet all year round
can be yours for the low low price of…
Since when is science determined by consensus?
The fossil fuel industry giants are winning. Through ideology and partisan
politics they’ve convinced average people and implanted politicians to
ignore the facts and pose the skeptical arguments for them. It’s truly
saddening. The evidence is overwhelming, “in the scientific community it’s
a settled question.” And, instead of debating ideas of solutions we’re
debating the validity of proven science. Who gains from this? Well, those
who profit from fossil fuels. Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum
Institute…, the very same corporations and groups that fund the opposing
arguments like that of the NGIPCC. Those who somehow argue that humans have
no negative effects on the globe are mind bogglingly naive.
Fox, CNN, and all the corporate media is trying to spin this event into a
debate. They don’t want their corporate sponsors to pull their ad money so
they will cover the story in a different light. They will make it seem like
they are trying to be fair, but in reality they just want the story to go
away so they can keep making money.
This reminds me of the dust bowl. People were warned not to over farm and
destroy top soil as it serves as a protective barrier against the wind.
Even as the sands where covering their land, the naysayers were still in
denial….Sand, What sand?? This is just natural sand, the earth has always
had sand said the dumb farmers.
