  • You idiot, he is obviously talking about geoengineering, not global warming! Why don't you post the rest of the video? Moron.

  • He was referring to how they do not understand the global climate system well enough to predict the consequences of any man made geoengineering influences on it. Thus, he admits that they can not predict global climate conditions that may result from man made influences, like greenhouse gas release. Removing or adding greenhouse gases are a geoengineering process as well. Currently it is hypothesized that we are unintentionally geoengineering the system by addig greenhouse gases.

  • @BrainDeadRepublican Brain dead is right. While we don't understand enough to try new methods of geoengineering, we know adding CO2 at the rate we are has dangerous effects. We also know the positive effects of lowering CO2.

    Why don't Republicans believe in personal responsibility? Why do you believe you can dump as much into the atmosphere as you like without paying for the damage? Whatever the cost it must be paid or don't do it. That's what cap and trade or carbon taxes enforce.

  • lol obama made up scientists to help promote globalwarming and basically bribed many. people need to get there shit straight and LEARN there facts

  • global warming is a joke

  • Incorrect! Holdren said the consequences of geo-engineering are not known. It has not been done before. Contrast that to the vast historical record and new data describing climate that already exists.

    Keeping geo-engineering option on the table by Holdren should give you a clue as to how serious a problem he considers manmade climate change. There are a lot of other top tier scientists that have the same view.

  • geoengineering cant be as bad for the environment as dropping nukes!

    the republicans have no idea what they are saying

  • Correction.

    A weather forecaster. Not a scientist.

  • One of the most renound weather experts, the founder of the "the weather channel " says global warming is "the largest hoax ever thrust upon the american people"...but what does he know, Al Gore invented the internet so he must know what he is talking about.

  • No, you're wrong. Although mitigation of greenhouse gases will prevent more gases from going into the atmosphere, geo-engineering will attempt to physically remove either the gases or reduce the amount of sun hitting the atmosphere. It is not a natural reduction of CO2 over time, which is what reducing the carbon footprint is.
