Don't Panic - A Case Against Catastrophic Warming Forecasts

This is a three minute version of a longer YouTube video with a similar name. It makes the case that even if greenhouse gas theory is "settled," that fact is irrelevant to justifying catastrophic global warming forecasts, since these forecasts rest primarily not on greenhouse gas theory, but on the unproven hypothesis that the climate is dominated by positive feedbacks.

I've heard from multiple sources temperature drives Co2, not the other way around, you're wrong.

[Gwynne66]

Yeah, I mean evidence from observations of geological markers, vegetation, dead critters, etc. The idea that the MWP wasn't widespread was just a brief nonsensical claim because Mann's now-debunked "Hockey Stick" did away with the MWP. We now know it is because Mann was a piss-poor scientist and may have committed actual fraud - depending on whether you believe he was a liar or a fool.

A climate with only a positive feedback system would be unstable therefore negative feedbacks are present and active as our Planet is not heating exponentially.

A warmer planet would be a good thing. Fossil records show an abundance of life when CO2 levels are higher and temps are warmer. Clouds are a GHG, and are by far the most effective gas. Thank God for global warming and stop cursing man.

said, "action is better then inaction"

First I agree with your second point. I hate burning Islamic fossil fuels as well and would love to stop giving them money.

But action without thought is always wrong.

For example: which statement is true:

A. The earth is at an extremely low CO2 concentration level based on the last 500 million years

B. The earth is at an extremely high CO2 concentration level based on the last 500 million years

If you picked B your wrong

A: true

@prunar Which comment may I ask you were referring too?

@SniperViper1000 What is this? Stupid Comment Day? Oh, I guess you are still drunk...

[SniperViper1000]

@prunar WOW! I've never heard such a bigger lie!

@cypress1337 Every type of resource is renewable.

Some just take longer to renew then others.

[cypress1337]

I think there will be taken action accordingly how serious the situation is. If the skeptics are wrong we will have more suffering, and if the greenist wrong we have renewable energy. I think its not a hard choice.

No matter what that action would include?

[cypress1337]

settled science or not, action is better then inaction.. i hate burning fossil fuel.
