Professor Steven Hayward!!! I took both of his Constitutional Law classes at CU!!! By far my favorite professor, favorite teacher period.
-
I remember when my mom called me one day, laughing because a global warming conference was cancelled because of a snowstorm. She thought that was so funny.

I'm dumb as a bucket of rocks and I understood every word that guy said what a treat I can't believe YouTube actually got all the spelling and words right for a change

There are two famous Queensland climatologists, Indigo Jones who died in 1954, and Lennox Walker who died in 2000. They were able to make accurate long range forecasts by studying sun spots. They were more accurate than computer models.

This is excellent! AND it reminds me of a College dissertation. The average person will not listen to this. BUT, we do need more of this . Facts, Science, Logic...........NOT POLITICS!!
-
What I’ve found most interesting about global warming is, the more money thrown at it the hotter it gets.
-
I’m loving this introduction! It’s June of 2022 and I laughed when I thought of the Climate Czar John Kerry as a Climatista and Climate change compared to Prohibition! Great analogy! Sadly right now these Climatistas have shut down all of the Energy independence America had accomplished! These are radical people!

I could listen to this gentleman each and every day.

I think I may be in love with this guy. He’s really witty, and the way he mocks the sudo-intellectual, “don’t contradict me I am a god, and will get you blackballed” liberal talking heads, is giving me The Feels! I’m self-educated about the subject, but have always believed that Earth has greater seasons, than the four yearly seasons we are familiar with/the Earth uses built in, environmental, self regulation mechanisms to self correct when things get too hot. Like say, how it spews volcanic ash into the air.... which starts a cycle. I’m not saying it won’t be a violent, somewhat destructive action, or that it will be pleasant, but I think we are being ego centric to say WE are causing it, and that WE will be the beings to fix it. Should we make efforts to care for our environment? YES, but are we the cause and solution for environmental variance? Unlikely.

In the 70's the climate alarmists said that NYC was going to be mowed down by a glacier. I bought a parka and boots. Still waiting.

This is so refreshing to hear. I am sick of the Al Gore's and Gretta's in the world who tell us not to think because they have already done the thinking for us.

God Bless Hillsdale College. You guys bring truth.
-
To an Englishman; 12:50 "we're still confident that we want to keep playing with our knobs" has an entirely different, yet still very fitting meaning to that intended by Steven.
-
"Boulder: Berkley with snow." Very clever.
-
For a five year old lecture, this is still brilliant!
-
There's an old saying regarding this topic. The difference between "climate" and "weather" is this: Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
-
As a past resident of both Madison and Boulder, I full heartedly endorse Dr Petersen’s opening comments.
-
As in the well know movie, The Wizard of OZ, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

My respect, thanks and gratitude to Hillsdale College for the courses they have put together and specifically those to promote, defend and protect the American Constitution!
-
Equating climate change to Prohibition is brilliant. Thank you Hillsdale!
