A former president of the environmental organization, Greenpeace, explains that man-made climate change is rubbish and not backed by the data.
He also debunks some popular environmental hysteria myths:
-The polar bears are NOT going extinct (their population is actually growing)
-The "Pacific Garbage Patch" is mostly a myth.
-The Great Barrier Reef is NOT dying.
-Carbon levels have no solid correlation with temperatures.
There are still some smart people in this country!
Sorry, but as someone who doesn't want to ever wear a mask again, I'm not going to give up my "masks are clogging up the pacific garbage patch" narrative.
Climate change is a reality. Scientists agree that the world is getting warmer and human activity is largely responsible. Today, our planet is the hottest it’s been in over 2,000 years and on track to grow hotter than it has been in two million years.

AFA the coral reefs go, it's all the crap we wash down the drain that ends up in the ocean.
Does your sewage treatment plant remove all the soap, shampoo, rinse, air dye, sun screen, cosmetics, garbage disposal waste, chemicals, detergents, fabric softeners, yada yada that goes down the drain every day. Bet not.
All those fleecy and polyester fibers that tiny little pieces shed off of are now in fish flesh. Enjoy your dinner.

our planet is the hottest it’s been in over 2,000 years .... yes that is what happens in an interglacial period.... the last glacial period peaked about 18,000 years ago and ended about 13,000 years ago
of the last 5 interglacial periods, the global average temp has been 74'f -76'f....currently we are at about 59'/60'f... which mean we have a long way to go

Normally, big volcanic eruptions release large amounts of ash and gases, such as sulfur dioxide, which can create reflective compounds in the atmosphere. These volcanic byproducts can block sunlight from reaching the planet's surface, which can cool the atmosphere. However, the Tonga eruption produced surprisingly low levels of sulfur dioxide compared with similarly sized explosions, and most of the ash it ejected quickly fell to the ground.
This excess water, the researchers warned, could have a radiating effect that could warm the atmosphere much as greenhouse gases do. Because the water is likely to stick around longer than other volcanic gases, like sulfur dioxide — which normally fall out of the atmosphere within two to three years — the water's warming effect will likely outlast any cooling effects the gases create.
This means the Tonga explosion will likely be the first eruption on record to cause a warming effect, rather than a cooling effect, on the planet, researchers wrote.
The researchers also pointed out that such a sharp increase in water vapor could decrease the amount of ozone in the stratosphere, thus potentially weakening the ozone layer that protects life on Earth from damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Stratospheric water, or H2O, can break down into OH ions over time. Those ions could react with ozone, which is made of three oxygen atoms, to create water and oxygen. However, it is unclear how this will affect the ozone layer as a whole, researchers wrote.
However, the researchers also think the increased water vapor could decrease the amount of methane in the atmosphere, which is one of the main greenhouse gases responsible for climate change. The same OH ions that react with ozone can also react with methane to produce water and a methyl radical (methane with one less hydrogen atom), which traps much less heat in the atmosphere than methane. Hopefully, this potential reduction in methane might offset some of the warming caused by the water vapor, researchers wrote.
I guarantee you that global warming is not caused by that silly gas, don't listen to all of the world's leading scientist. It's obviously the lizard men that are living in the center of hollow earth. Google it.

On climate change he’s wrong that there’s no correlation between global temperature and CO2. Of course other factors are at play longterm but in the human habitat era of earth timescale it is completely relevant. That is like saying there’s no proof the temperature gets colder when you climb the top of the Himalayas because ……. The Sun is way above us and on the sun it’s really really really hot and the sun high in the sky so that must mean when you go high it doesn’t get cold, so therefore temperature doesn’t get colder when you go up high in mountain tops
As temperatures rise and habitats shift due to human-caused climate change, these planting zones are shifting north. Compared to a 1951-1980 baseline, the average coldest temperatures of 1989-2018 are more than 3oF warmer for the average city. Temperatures have increased for more than 95 percent of the 244 stations analyzed.
