I never got this argument that the government is behind spreading the global warming "propaganda".The implications of climate change mean that the gov will need to spend billions of dollars to fight it. Is it so they can tax us more? And hurt the economy in the process? What makes more sense, is oil companies spreading in anti-science propaganda. They stand to loose TRILLIONS of dollars if people take action on climate change. And this is exactly what's happening. So who has more of a bias?

LoL watching this I feel that I cannot trust anything or anyone anymore XD

I really learned a lot already in this video ... I had courses on how to do literature research, but till now I never heared of peer-review and of aaas (but thats because I am German ... I think). Ofc I heared of Science and Nature and their high standard, but now ... Thx! :)

lol. I love this video. Does not stand up to the scrutiny of time. Ultimate proof AGW does not exist and all the sources speak through their pockets.

I hope youtube doesn't delete this.

@apopheniacMCMLXXXIX It's not that complex. People say something that a politician likes, for whatever reason? Politician gives them more money to keep talking, and a symbiotic relationship develops. Simple patronage and politics is rife with it. Not exactly a supervillain. A moron with a fat checkbook could do it.

@SSedmak

Don't you think they'd come up with something a little less rube goldberg-esque than "secretly manipulate the scientific community into creating lies about anthropogenic climate change so we can justify taxing people"? It sounds like some comic book super villain's super evil sinister master plan. Seriously ask yourself if this is at all realistic or whether it's born of some paranoid conspiracy fantasy.

@apopheniacMCMLXXXIX So... After looking at 5000 years of human civilization, you've come to the conclusion that governments do not have a strong bias for aggregating power and taxing subjects? What history books did you read???

What do we do if we are not the ones causing "global warming"? Many scientists think that this is happening not just to the Earth, but to all planets in our Solar System. Of course, we may be accelerating the process, but in the scenario that I proposed, we cannot stop either, not even if we stop consuming oil or other natural resources like coal.

I'm guessing that in that case, the best thing we can do is be prepared.

I may regret asking, but just for the sake of clarity, if you were Master of Global Affairs with plenipotentiary powers, what course might you be inclined to set for human affairs on Earth?

oops that was a reply to another comment of a year ago, not to your video.

On itself this is true. No-one will deny that you're able to use reason to some extent, Ron. Now guess what this worldwide legion of climate scientists has been trying to falsify over the last two decades? exactly this causation story. Time and again they failed. They only disagree on nuances, not on the main story.
