3 - Climate Change -- Anatomy of a myth

I had planned to put several myths in this video, but discovered such an appalling web of deceit and fabrication in this first one that I felt I had no choice but to thoroughly debunk it. Like many ingrained myths, this one is so ubiquitous that it takes an awful lot of hard evidence to convince true believers that it's been fabricated.

A paper cited in this video was incorrectly dated. It is "The myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Consensus" by TC Petersonet al, September 2008 volume 89 issue 9, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

@23peacefrog trio? This series has many more parts explaining many more aspects of this issue including outright dishonesty being thrown about in the general public on climate change.

Potholer is very good at clearing away urbam myth and disinformation and getting right to the actual published science on a number of issues.

Oh,shit! And recently Japan HAS had a tsunami! @potholer54 is phsycic! (not that Mean any disrespect to the victims)

The reason we're so susceptible to disaster via environmental stress, is the shortness of a human lifetime (or shortness of memory). I can assure you that the concern of the 1970s was melting polar icecaps and rising sea-levels, and NOT the return of an ice age.

Thanks to the maker/s of a great trio of videos. Very informative

A kind of scary coincidence in this video is right at the end, you mention a tsunami hitting Japan, and that happened almost exactly one year later. Spooky.

The more I watch your videos, the more I'm frustrated with the media.

@ComicPenius I said most, not all.

@ndrthrdr1 No, I'm criticizing you for labeling all opponents as religious. It's a generalization that's not helpful.
