You’ve seen it in the comment section before: “Climate change is natural. It’s happened before and it will keep happening”. In reality, comments like these are the newest kind of climate change denial. In this video we’re going to learn about all the reasons that Earth’s climate changes, natural and otherwise, and then how we know that modern climate change can’t be blamed on natural forces. Maybe we can finally put this biggest myth about climate change in the trash.

    Enjoy this short video about climate change! I'll heart any comment if you can prove you watched the whole thing 🤓
  • @rmdodsonbills
    And even if the current warming was completely natural, it would be super stupid to make it worse by continuing to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Or to put it another way, even if we couldn't do anything to make it better, that's certainly no excuse to make it worse.

    As long as money runs the world, it will always be about money.
  • Nasa employee said Pina Tubo influenced our weather for 2 years, Nasa employee also said westerly wind rotates Glaciers clockwise into the Atlantic, these westerly winds carry large amounts of heat from Canadian Wild Fires.
  • Turning climate change into a political debate is probably one of the smartest things the oil corporations have ever done. It's really working out for them
  • Anyone, everyone in fact, that had decided the science is done has already abandoned science in favor of politics.
  • @StaticR
    honestly love the way you talk about this "the people who discovered how the climate naturally changes over time are climate scientists, the same group of people who discovered the climate change we're currently facing is human caused." is kind of a connection that should be obvious but it really hits different when spoken out loud. kind of a fun realization seeing how the reason the example comment at the start of the video knows about it in the first place are the same people he's trying to use that argument against.

    co-friendly building practices, integrating energy-efficient designs and materials, contribute substantially to reducing the carbon footprint of construction, heralding a shift toward more sustainable infrastructure.
  • 4 seasons and hours of Daylight are unbreakable unless you can prove a change in Angular momentum.
  • I've not got an issue with is it us or isn't it. I have an issue with us being told we need to be more "Carbon neutral" BUT the politicians don't actually do anything about it, they just take more money and MOVE the carbon footprint to another country to then say that we are doing out bit.
  • @Kurtlane
    Ignorance in itself is not a major problem. It becomes a major problem when combined with arrogance.
  • Tom Nelson says he once supported Green Peace but has reconsidered that path.
  • The Planet can have Humidity but it is not a greenhouse, so why is this Term being used, is it just a marketing Scheme?
  • @StaticR
    It's like throwing something at the ground as hard as you can and then arguing "I didn't smash it, gravity is natural, everything is pulled down" edit: well that analogy as good as it sounds isn't really useful if you don't already know how the whole thing works. So it's not gonna be useful in convincing anyone that disagrees. more accurately it'd be more like the lights were out when it happened, with lots of people hearing it, and the smashed to pieces object laying on the floor with the suspected person suspiciously standing next to it, so based on the circumstances and the broken object all it can be infered that this exact thing happened, all the evidence is there and good enough to put together an accurate pictuer, but technically no one did "see" it happen. It's a good analogy both in terms of equivilance of what's happening and what kinds of information are missing but it's not gonna be useful in convincing anybody. A much more convincing argument would be what joe repeated in this video a bunch: "The field of science that told you about how earth's climate naturally changes over time is the same field of science that says the climate changes we're currently experiencing are absolutely caused by human activity. It's all climate scientists. They didn't just selectively forget about it, the natural shifts are already being accounted for."

    When I was in school, we were told that things were getting colder. College, the world is getting warmer. Now the term is climate change. That makes the claim safe. Is climate change bad? Greenland, when the earth was warming, they could farm. Now again, they are farming again. Warm weather makes the air more moist. There was a time, when the Sarah Desert was green. So is climate change bad?
  • Karry Mullis said Government should never be involved with Science because they always misinterpret or miss represent the facts.
  • Global warming happens every summer and global freezing happens every winter without failure because, Heat is always temporary and Night Time is always Cooling, Winter is always freezing and forest fire always melts Glaciers.
  • @Dustinwhy8
    Governments: “Give us your money and we’ll change the weather.” Yeah. No. Giving the government more tax dollars and hoping for the best is not a solution.
  • @RonLWilson
    OK, I confess, guilty as charge, in that I used to be a global warming skeptic! But that was based largely on my ignorance in regard to the subject of climate change. So videos like yours help address said ignorance. Great video!
  • So we are getting 2 days of Sun per week in California, how the heck are we gonna get hottest year ever status with allcthese clouds and rain? Just Scam Baby.
