Overview

In his discussion with Tom Nelson, Steve Einhorn brings a critical lens to the usual climate change narrative. He underlines the importance of questioning the role of carbon dioxide, which he believes is overstated in its impact on global warming. By presenting data gathered over several decades, Einhorn aims to dismantle what he considers alarmist views on climate disasters such as hurricanes and rising sea levels.

Further into the conversation, Einhorn explains the cyclical nature of Earth's climate, pointing to natural phenomena like El Niño and sunspots as significant factors influencing temperature changes. He advocates for analyzing historical climate data, arguing that it does not support the dire warnings often broadcasted by climate activists. Einhorn suggests that the reliance on computer models by some scientists often leads to exaggerated predictions.

The podcast also touches on the broader implications of climate policies on society and the economy. Einhorn argues that policies like the Green New Deal carry economic burdens and calls for a balance between environmental concerns and practical economic strategies. Through his book, Einhorn convinces readers to dive deeper into the data, offering a critical perspective not often covered in mainstream discourse.

Chapters

• 00:00 - 01:00: Introduction In the 'Introduction' chapter, the guest, Steve Einhorn, appears on a podcast hosted by Tom. Steve expresses gratitude for the invitation and anticipates sharing his insights. He has spent over a decade working on climate change and authored a book titled 'Climate Change: What They Rarely Teach in College.' This book aims to explore the real science and actual events associated with climate change, providing a perspective that might not typically be covered in academic settings. The introduction sets the stage for a deeper discussion on these topics.
• 01:00 - 03:00: Science Behind Climate Change The chapter titled 'Science Behind Climate Change' explains the fundamental argument put forth by climate activists. It describes how the burning of fossil fuels leads to increased carbon dioxide emissions, which is central to their case against fossil fuels.
• 03:00 - 06:00: Climatic Events Analysis The chapter "Climatic Events Analysis" discusses the relationship between increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, global warming, and climate changes. The argument presented is that global warming is caused by an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, it is suggested that the increase in carbon dioxide levels is both minuscule and minimal, questioning the validity or the scale of impact this might have.
• 06:00 - 10:00: Temperature and Heat Trends The chapter 'Temperature and Heat Trends' discusses the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming, acknowledging that while carbon dioxide does contribute to global warming, its impact is considered minimal. The chapter also addresses climatic events, specifically noting that there has been no increase in the occurrence of hurricanes or cyclones over the past 50 years.
• 10:00 - 15:00: Potential Influences on Climate The chapter discusses the impact of carbon dioxide on climate, highlighting data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The 'Thin Blue Line' represents the annual increase in carbon dioxide levels. Despite this increase, the number of major hurricanes and overall hurricane activity has remained consistent over the past 45 years, according to government data.
• 15:00 - 20:00: Critique of Climate Activism The chapter titled 'Critique of Climate Activism' discusses the claims made by activists regarding the increase in the number and intensity of hurricanes, particularly in the North Atlantic. The government data suggests there has been no overall increase in hurricanes. Activists focus on specific regions, arguing for their increased concentration and intensity, while neglecting to mention the trends in other areas such as the Pacific Ocean. This highlights a discrepancy between activist claims and broader data interpretations regarding climate phenomena.
• 20:00 - 25:00: Sea Level and Polar Bears Discussion The chapter discusses the inaccuracies in activists' claims about climate change increasing the intensity of hurricanes in the Atlantic while decreasing it in the Pacific. It states that there's been less concentration of hurricanes overall. The mention of tornadoes suggests further exploration of this weather phenomenon in the context of climate discussions.
• 25:00 - 30:00: Fossil Fuels and Environmental Impact This chapter discusses the environmental impacts associated with fossil fuels. It specifically highlights the correlation between carbon dioxide levels and major natural events, such as tornadoes. Despite the increase in carbon dioxide, the number of major tornadoes has remained relatively stable since 1954. Additionally, the chapter touches on the topic of wildfires, noting that although there is a perception of increased wildfire occurrence, it's important to consider the actual data on acres burned.
• 30:00 - 35:00: The Role of Technology and Renewable Energy The chapter discusses the impact of carbon dioxide emissions, primarily from fossil fuels, on environmental factors such as wildfires. It references data from the National Intergovernmental Fire Center. Despite increasing carbon dioxide levels, the area burned by fires has decreased significantly, especially noticeable since 1970. The chapter suggests a complex relationship between carbon emissions and wildfire incidence, likely influenced by other factors or mitigated by technology and renewable energy efforts.
• 35:00 - 40:00: Book Promotion and Discussion The chapter 'Book Promotion and Discussion' discusses the role of humans in causing forest fires, with data indicating that 80% of forest fires are caused by humans. The significance of human involvement in forest fires has been highlighted for many years, as exemplified by the iconic government figure Smokey Bear's longstanding message emphasizing human responsibility in preventing forest fires.
• 40:00 - 45:00: Public Speaking Experience The chapter titled 'Public Speaking Experience' discusses the human impact on forest fires, emphasizing that a significant majority of these fires (97%) are caused by humans, either through carelessness, arson, or mere presence in areas with civilization. The discussion aims to shift the focus from external factors such as fossil fuels to human responsibility. The chapter also hints at a conversation about droughts, which is associated with the example of 'the orange.'
• 45:00 - 47:00: Closing Remarks The chapter 'Closing Remarks' summarizes findings about various climate events over the past 135 years, such as droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, and forest fires. It highlights that there has been no significant increase in their occurrences, questioning the role of carbon dioxide and fossil fuels in these observations.

Steve Einhorn: Climate Change: What They Rarely Teach In College | Tom Nelson Pod #223 Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 my guest today is Steve Einhorn well thanks Tom for enabling me to participate with your podcast program and I'm looking forward to speaking and just sharing what I've learned I've worked on climate change for a dozen years and I wrote this book called climate change what they rarely teach in college and what the book does is it goes over the real science what's actually happened what's actually happened in the world and hopefully does it in in a
• 00:30 - 01:00 clear concise and relatively interesting way uh there so let's talk about the claim the climate activists have have a program by the way this is their entire argument it's very simple you start with fossil fuels the fossil fuels burn when they burn they generate more carbon dioxide in the
• 01:00 - 01:30 atmosphere which in turn generates global warming and global warming is what's causing all of these climate changes this is their entire argument there's nothing else so let's see how accurate this is and what I think you'll see is there is an increase in atmosphere of carbon dioxide there actually is but I want you to remember two words when you think of it one is minuscule and the other is minimal so
• 01:30 - 02:00 when someone says that atmosphere carbon dioxide is causing global warming you add yes it's true and the influence is minuscule or minimal okay so now let's go on to the next slide let's start out with what are actually climatic events real climatic events hurricanes are real events there's been no increase in hurricanes or Cyclones for 50 years this is
• 02:00 - 02:30 according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration if you see this Thin Blue Line that's going upward that's carbon dioxide every year we have more carbon dioxide almost every year and as far as hurricanes the number of major hurricanes and all hurricanes has not gone anywhere look at these squiggling lines these white bluish lines they're not going anywhere there hasn't been any change for the past 45 years that's according to the government
• 02:30 - 03:00 this isn't me saying it this is the government telling you that there's been no increase in hurricanes now what they claim since there is no increase in hurricanes is the activist claim all but in the North Atlantic there's an increase in concentration and they're more intense than they ever were my Lord and they're talking about 2 or 3% or something like that but what they forget to tell you is that in theic Pacific Ocean it's exactly
• 03:00 - 03:30 the opposite there's actually been less concentration of hurricanes and so is the claim of the activists that climate change caused by carbon dioxide is increasing the uh intensity in the Atlantic and decreasing the intensity in the Pacific it really doesn't make a lot of sense how about tornado right tornadoes are important well here's a here's a
• 03:30 - 04:00 slide that shows tornadoes for the last 75 years see the red line Red Line Carbon dioxide and what's the blue line those blue lines are the number of major tornadoes they've gone nowhere there's been no increase uh since 1954 there how about another one how about AC this burn how how many acres have actually burned well we keep hearing every day huge fires more more fires all
• 04:00 - 04:30 caused by carbon dioxide all caused by fossil fuels well this is from the national intergovernmental fire Center another division of the government see the Blue Line yep same thing carbon dioxide goes up almost every year what about fires that Acres burned decreases look that's the red line gone down a lot and since 1970 it's been relatively low okay how about the number of poires this is also from the national inter
• 04:30 - 05:00 agency fire Center and also the forest service and you can see that there's been no change whatsoever in the number of forest fires so these are the major events there's another uh comment that I'd like to make about Forest vir humans are causing 80% of the forest virus we know that from the government Smokey's been telling us for since before we were born that only you can prevent forest fires because humans
• 05:00 - 05:30 could control and cause through carelessness or arson or just Humanity being there 80% of far as far as and if it's if it's the case that you're in the midst of where there is real civilization 97% of all forest fires are caused by humans so it doesn't make any sense to blame this on any other issue including fossil fuels let's talk about droughts look at the orange the orange
• 05:30 - 06:00 shows the amount the number of droughts during the past 135 years there's been no increase whatsoever nothing again okay so what have we now seen we've covered all the great majority of all major climate events hurricanes tornadoes forest fires number of forest fires droughts there's been no change what have all these carbon dioxide molecul been been doing why isn't fossil
• 06:00 - 06:30 fuels coold gas and oil why aren't they more effective in generating global warming the reason is because they don't generate most of the radiant heat in in the in the world and we can go over that very shortly so I wanted to go over what's happened in terms of heat and and and temperature warmth during the past during our lifetimes let's start out with 2016 to 2022
• 06:30 - 07:00 2016 was a warm year and after that as you can see from the squiggly lines that 2022 uh the time between 2016 and 2022 there's been no increase in in in the average temperature on Earth just nothing there and this comes from hadrut 4 which is the basically the English government here they've been doing this for many many years there so what happened what were these carbon dioxide
• 07:00 - 07:30 molecules doing for these seven years because there was no no increase what's whatsoever in fact there was a decrease since 2016 let's talk about from 1998 1998 was a very warm year but you can see from this chart that between 1998 and 2015 all temperatures were lower this was a very big problem it was a very big problem of uh for the activists because
• 07:30 - 08:00 by 20089 and 10 they gone 10 years and there'd been no increase in fact it was lower than two 1998 so what do you do you're claiming that there's global warming but there's no global warming you go to a PR agency called mes Lansky in great in in Michigan there and M lansi says we can help you so how do they help they do a study and they find out that if you
• 08:00 - 08:30 use climate change now it's much much easier to claim that there's a problem and you can see that look global warming you can measure it's either warmer or it isn't climate change that's really vague what does it mean there we know it's warmer in the summer than the winter but what else does climate change mean right now it means virtually everything that the activists want to tell us about and that's why we use climate change now and you rarely about global
• 08:30 - 09:00 warming separately there Al why do we have warm years and cold years you've seen how 2016 was a warm year if you look at these red lines here going up and down you see that 2016 was warm you see that 1998 was warm and you see that 2023 was warm well one major reason relates to El Nino what is El Nino El Nino is when the wind winds come from the South Pacific
• 09:00 - 09:30 and they hit the top of the waves and they bring the heat from those waves and they go around the world and the world heats up now this is not a new phenomenon the fishermen off of the South Pacific learned this in 1800 that every several years it was warmer and this is just what happens on Earth there's a cycle here and we have elino and this is one reason why 2023 was a warm year but there's
• 09:30 - 10:00 more this is a chart that shows a little bit more detail of why it was a warm year in 2023 in addition to El Nino there are sunspots when there are more sunspots the world is warmer it's that simple if there are less Sun sunspots it's cooler well 2023 had a lot of sunspots those of the that's the orange here and you can see
• 10:00 - 10:30 that the Orange is is a bit high for 2023 this has nothing to do with o GES who are are cold okay let's talk about extremes we're told that there are extremes all the time now of of heat and whatever well this is a chart from the EPA and what it shows is that the Hest the the most heat waves that we ever had were in the 1930 30s and in
• 10:30 - 11:00 fact I live in Wisconsin and Wisconsin had the highest temperature ever in 1936 in July 114 degrees per Fahrenheit so this is a chart that shows that almost 100 years ago before any virtually any of us were born was actually when we had the most extreme heat and heat waves this chart is no longer available on the internet the EPA removed it and they removed it be
• 11:00 - 11:30 because they didn't want us to see it they didn't hit with their ideas of what we should know this is a very complicated chart by near shaviv he's with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and what he studies is thermal radiation and what the chart shows is that the sun produces 99% of all thermal radiation on Earth and CO2 is about half% it's truly
• 11:30 - 12:00 meaningless remember minuscule and minimal that's the influence influence of CO2 willly soon from the Harvard astrophysical lab has measured and compared the sun spots and temperature on Earth and you can see the blue is the the temperature and the orange are the sunspots they they mirror each other to a large extent but which which shows how important the sun
• 12:00 - 12:30 really is in terms of determining temperature on Earth let's go to CO2 we've talked about CO2 having a minimal effect but we should really start with Al Gore Al Gore is important and his book An Inconvenient Truth is important it's the most important book ever written on the environment because it sold more copies he's had a movie and he promotes it everywhere what does he say in his book of all the greenhouse G gases carbon dioxide usually gets top billing the go
• 12:30 - 13:00 to accounts for about 80% of total greenhouse gases that's from his book but what's the truth truth is that in terms of molecules water vapor is 95% of all greenhouse gases carbon dioxide's under 4% well guess what two words don't appear in Al Gore's book water vapor and not there why not is he trying to convince us of something
• 13:00 - 13:30 that isn't true or just doesn't he know any better oh one of the two probably here's another period of time 32 years and for 32 years between 1944 in 1976 it cooled once again you see the blue line coming up carbon dioxide and you see the squiggly red lines going nowhere up just actually gradually becoming cooler in 1976 these
• 13:30 - 14:00 same activists who were claiming that we're going to all suffer from heat were claiming we were going to have a cold spell and go back to the ice ages very very shortly and we should worry about that these climate activists they one of their main goals that we should worry and this is an example of of of of of of how they told us it was going to get cold and we're going to phrase when it didn't there I thought it'd be interesting to talk
• 14:00 - 14:30 about Co because this is something that's happened within the very recent past and covid affected us greatly in 2020 remember what happened we didn't go to work we didn't go to school we didn't drive we didn't fly and we actually reduced all fossil fuels by 10% this was the greatest experiment in American history and actually reducing uh reducing uh uh carbon dioxide in the
• 14:30 - 15:00 atmosphere it was the largest fossil fuel experiment in history and what did we have we had a warm year exactly the opposite of what was predicted and what happened in 2021 we started going back to school to work planes blew we drove and the year became cooler as we were using more fossil fuels
• 15:00 - 15:30 beon lomberg has calculated that this 10% fossil fuel reduction due to our covid policies had virtually no effect on global warming 500th of a degree Centigrade can you imagine it's amazing they actually could calculate it is it so small and such a low impact there and and by the way you should know that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is actually logarithmic and what that means is is that every additional molecule generates
• 15:30 - 16:00 less heat than the previous one and of course we need carbon dioxide we breathe it out the plants take it in they absorb the carbon dioxide they breathe out oxygen that's how we get a lot of the oxygen we need to breathe and the more carbon dioxide the better the plants grow as you can see from this this diagram
• 16:00 - 16:30 let's talk about the sea rise there that's another issue this is probably what people worry about the most that the sea is going to rise and roll going to be under water shortly there so alore made a prediction that within the near term the Seas would rise by 20 ft that's a lot right but what actually happened and according to your ner the sea Rose 2 Ines I was wrong he was 100 times
• 16:30 - 17:00 wrong how can you be 100 times wrong if you're following science you have to have a very big hypothesis let's look specifically this is New York and what you see here is no acceleration this is a chart which shows acceleration at New York City there's none that means that the CES are not increasing at an increasing rate they're
• 17:00 - 17:30 just increasing and they're increasing at the same rate that's what this CH shows big the Seas outside of New York are rising about 3 millim a year which is one inch every eight years and you can see it's relatively constant this is from the NOAA again so it this is these are all coming from your government and so what the government does is they do these studies with show that there's no
• 17:30 - 18:00 problem and then they predict that there's a problem in the future so we have to spend a lot of money and get everybody upet this is Los Angeles Los Angeles is in the water outside of Los Angeles is increasing at 1 millimeter a year that means a foot every 300 years and yet we're told that Los Angeles going to fall into the ocean because the ocean is going to rise up and destroy uh the Western portion of
• 18:00 - 18:30 California what it's happening in the world as a whole not only the us if we look at the seven largest cities that are on the state Tokyo New York Los Angeles weris mumbay Shanghai and Kolkata the picture is the same there's a constant rate at every city it's between 1 millimet and 4 millimet per year that's how much the seas are
• 18:30 - 19:00 rising but what about the UN don't you know the UN according to the activist is the leading Authority on seise in the world they know more about SE rise than anybody else and they are more effective in getting their message across than anybody else which is why the Paris agreement and the green New Deal are basically to larg exent based upon the UN ipcc well look at this red line
• 19:00 - 19:30 it's going up in 1900 the UN ipcc according to its latest report had that the average sea was rising at 1.3 mm a year and then it multiplied three times to where it is out to about 3.7 millimeters per year and it's going to multiply another three times between now and 2050 or 2100 okay where do they get this from they get this from measuring glaciers and po
• 19:30 - 20:00 caps and atmospheric pressure and a human factor of what we're causing before you know it you end up with this sort of chart the Blue by the way is the actual historical there's been no acceleration right okay so why is this important it's important because it shows the problems that we have with the with the active this is the major disagreement these
• 20:00 - 20:30 alarmists use computer models that incorporate many uncertain values and even outright guesses and I call the others the realists because we're looking at history we forecast a continuation of past Trends and there's the chart as you saw from 2016 based upon past Trends so I'm going to read that again because this is the basis of the argument guide right alarmists are using computer models that incorporate many
• 20:30 - 21:00 uncertain values and guesses and the realists are forecasting a continuation past Trend this is extremely important for you to understand and it's very easy to understand and this is why virtually all of their projections are wrong now let's talk about polar bears isn't it almost every day we're told the polar bears are going to become extinct and there's a solution and the the solution for the polar bears get going
• 21:00 - 21:30 extinct is that you should give money to these activist organizations which are going to help the polar bear and what's the polar bears problem you're told they they're they're floating on small ice packs like this they they're drowning they can't get to the wall or say it's terrible but let's look at history and see what really happened it's true the polar bears were going extinct and why were they going
• 21:30 - 22:00 extinct because they were getting shot and they were getting shot because polar bear bur is beautiful it makes wonderful rugs and but by the 1970s they decided this is not a good idea let's stop shooting the polar bear so the Polar Polar Bears have affirmative action right now you're not allowed to shoot a polar bear and as a result look what's happened the the chart on the right the actual number of polar bear
• 22:00 - 22:30 has increased from about 10,000 to about 30,000 they're doing fine the polar bears don't need your help they don't need your money so just be grateful that these beautiful animals are doing fine without our help another matter that we're told about is the coral reefs they're going to basically lose all of their colors that's what's going to happen with the
• 22:30 - 23:00 polar the coral reefs and the reason for this is because the temperatures of the water are so high and the pH is lowering and the combination is destroying their colors and they're all going to be pale Pig light yellow whatever well this was actually happening in poo Palo is a country that's very close to the equator North of Australia and in the Pacific
• 23:00 - 23:30 ocean and poo had exactly this problem where the coral were losing their their color so what did they do they did two things first they eliminated the visitors from using suntan lotion no more suntan lotion of certain types because they had chemicals that were killing these things are hurting them dramatically and the other is I stopped dropping refu into the ocean the net effect is what you see
• 23:30 - 24:00 here this is a picture of Paulo's cor reefs when what's the what's what's the where did this come from this came from an article which showed what happened and explain if in in 2000 there were virtually no colors and now they're beautiful again but in the article it read of course there is significant human cause global warming the human cause climate change
• 24:00 - 24:30 you have to do that if you're going to print an article in the United States these days because otherwise it won't be printed and you'll never certainly never get any money from the government uh for for sighting something right this here and as you probably know the Great Barrier reap which is a a major Coral reap in the world in Australia is doing very well now ever since the farmers started they the farmers stopped um depositing their
• 24:30 - 25:00 their residue from their Farms which were sugar Farms we're going to give Al Gore one more chance he made a prediction in his book this is a picture from his book of 16 animals that he claimed were going to go extinct and let's see what happened he was run on all 16 because none of them have have gone think since he wrote his book and here's
• 25:00 - 25:30 one here's the Hawaiian tree prog okay what happened with the Hawaiian tree prog well they're up to 20,000 per acre in Hawaii it's a major problem and if alore wants to know what we should do about it he should call pest control and Hawaii and he'll he'll find his response G was right about one animal that did go extinct it was the golden toad and he got it right that it was going
• 25:30 - 26:00 extinct but his timing was bad because the golden told when became extinct 20 years before before he wrote his book and he died of a virus it had nothing whatever to do with global warming so we have to go over another the the the harmful health effects of of carbon dioxide what what what and and and the
• 26:00 - 26:30 the global warm burning fossil fuels creates harmful air pollution that can worsen heart disease according to Yale okay and this comes out every day how this is hurting our health but let's just look at heart disease as an example this is a map of the United States showing ozone and particles that is basically pollution and as you can see Los Angeles has basically the most pollution of any
• 26:30 - 27:00 city in the country by it's it has had a thousand days over the past 10 years which are considered to be pollution days so how is Los Angeles doing in terms of heart disease it turns out that the average deaths from heart disease is 200 per 100,000 people and Los Angeles is actually lower they're at 190 for 200,000 people so clearly the air pollution is not
• 27:00 - 27:30 having much of effect and as you know the EPA has worked with us we have the Clean Air Act and we've eliminated 80% of all pollution in the air over the past 60 years so there is no problem in the United States that doesn't mean there isn't the problem elsewhere so let's go into predictions we have the Paris agreement every day we are told that if the Earth becomes 1° Centigrade
• 27:30 - 28:00 hotter this is going to cause a climate change disaster and catastrophe so I'm identified exactly what it is but we're going to have a climate change and and and catastrophe and the goal of course is that we must have a zero increase in atmospheric CO2 which means for great elimination of almost all fossil fuels okay so what the Paris agreement tells us is because of this one degree increase which is going to cause climate
• 28:00 - 28:30 change our lifespans are going to decrease poverty is going to increase literacy is going to decrease and wealth is going to decrease now you know that during the past 100 150 years the earth has increased I wanted to degrees that's just how it is it's warmth it's been a warm period for the Earth and so it's gotten gotten warmer how has this warmth affected the same issues that I just read to you about well since 1840 lifespan has increased
• 28:30 - 29:00 20 years okay so while we have more carbon dioxid in the a we have longer lives poverty's decreased from 55 to 20% in the last 40 years literacy has increased from 20 to 80% during the past couple hundred years wealth has increased 70 times since 1900 okay in other words Paris agreement totally contradicts history there is no
• 29:00 - 29:30 justification based on history to think that anything they've told us about the future is correct because we know the lifespans have increased the poverty has decreased literacy has increased wealth has increased and that based upon historical science the Paris agreement claims there is no validity they're all false there's no bis for
• 29:30 - 30:00 them now the activists have a number of ways of getting their way or kind of convincing us one of the most effective ways is language Distortion they mix up weather and climate right we know here the definition we the state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place that's one time one place one event claim it the usual weather conditions over a period of years comes right from the dictionary by the way every dictionary has the same Ty of
• 30:00 - 30:30 definition but what happened you have you have Hurricane Katrina and how do you read it in the paper this is proof of climate change but it's not proof of climate change it's an individual weather event and so is every one of them and as you see in the area there been no change re runberg is the single most effective speaker to get us to have climate anxiety fear intimidation and guilt that's what she presents us around
• 30:30 - 31:00 the year 2030 we will set off an irreversible Chain Reaction beyond our control that will most likely lead to catastrophe our lives are in your hands I'll dare you to continue to look away from global warming and come here saying that you are doing enough your generation is failing us and if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you what type of argument is this is this a legal argument is it a scientific
• 31:00 - 31:30 argument no this is what a four-year-old child says to Mom and Dad Mom and Dad if you don't let me have ice cream now I am never going to speak with you it's the same logic and Greta is brilliant at getting this AC course she's a very wealthy young lady now she has 2 million followers but they're all following a wrong influence so what's a problem this is a real
• 31:30 - 32:00 problem CL me anxiety there are millions of people now who are not getting married because of their fears of climate change there are millions who are not having children because they don't want to bring up a world by such potential disaster and catastrophe and here it is here's the UN prediction of over 100 predicted models that's the Red Line the blue line is what actually happened and as a result
• 32:00 - 32:30 the UN is their their claims are three times what reality is three times the the increase in temperature that has actually occurred but this is what we follow in terms of our government policy let's talk about the green new deal right now we have actually 34 trillion now of debt and in the green New Deal is only there that 20% has anything to do with climate and
• 32:30 - 33:00 that's the grid transportation and housing over 75% has to do with nothing related to climate change these are jobs for everyone health care and free food basically but it totals 70 trillion which will certainly bankrupt us if we ever implemented it but the other part which is very important has to do with
• 33:00 - 33:30 our freedoms and Liberty these policies are draw socialistic policies which we can get through separately but right now let's just talk about the freedoms and Liberty if you go to any liberal College there will be virtually no Viewpoint diversity in other words virtually anything that I am telling you today will not be spoken about at University and you are be intimidated to say them
• 33:30 - 34:00 because it is settled science that virtually everything that you've seen here which is science from the government mostly is not true how about the government has mandated what cars were're going to be allowed to buy you know that's the case do we really want to have the freedom to pick the cars we want virtually all current appliances are are going to be prohibited for sale and of the military is focusing on electric vehicles these are going to be TR very
• 34:00 - 34:30 competitive against the fossil fuel vehicles that are opponents will there is a major reason we're not using fossil fuels or for reducing fossil fuels and that is they're limited we only have somewhere between 100 and 200 years of fossil fuels that's all there is guys especially if we continue at this rate and so what we need is we need techn technology to reduce fossil
• 34:30 - 35:00 fuels and this is an example here this is a liquid cooled computer and what liquid cooled computers can do is save 3% of all the energy we have in the in the world because uh these computers can be used in data centers and data centers are currently using 3 or 4% of the energy in the world and they're going to be using double that within 10 years but we can we can cut that down by 80% by using liquid cool computers uh there because they don't
• 35:00 - 35:30 need air conditioning they don't need chillers and that you can recover the heat from many of them uh to actually use for hot water or heating buildings and and thereby save a lot of energy so here's why we should all be happy there is no global warming problem there's no climate change problem and what we should be doing is concentrating on the realization of worthy goals and happiness we are blessed with a wonderful climate and
• 35:30 - 36:00 God that's what I wanted to share with you today thank you for listening thanks Steve uh do you have any comments to make on wind and solar energy green energy in general yes I I uh I'd like to talk about electric vehicles and wind and solar energy we've been told that Tesla and the electric vehicles are the solution to the Future and they're going to save all types of
• 36:00 - 36:30 energy but the truth is exactly the opposite to make a medium-sized Tesla or electric vehicle you have to mine 500,000 lb of Earth and that means it's going to take about eight years to break even we've also spent $500 billion dollar in the deficit reduction act on this so what's happened so far well the average car that's electric is
• 36:30 - 37:00 four years old and it's going to take eight years to break even which means that we haven't saved one ounce of energy through our program of spending $500 billion and it's going up it'll be a trillion dollars by the time we're done supporting this I have no objection we shouldn't have any objection to selling El electric vehicles or Teslas provided it's not on a competitive basis using capitalism but under the current socialist method of reimbursing owners
• 37:00 - 37:30 and who are you reimbursing you're reimbursing the wealthiest people in the country poor people don't buy Teslas which average $60,000 so we're actually transferring wealth to wealthy people and then of course we have these charges which have to be paid for by the government which is really us that are also not competitively priced solar
• 37:30 - 38:00 panels well no objection once again if solar panels are being sold on a competitive capitalist basis but that's not what's happening and they're going to solar panels are going to cause a lot of trouble because these one out panels are going to double all plastic waste within 30 years 35 years and the other part is environmentally uh these are Terri for the birds and the bats they they ignite these birds in
• 38:00 - 38:30 smoke in a puff of smoke and the solar and wind together are killing well over a million birds and bats a year here Wind Farm These are not totally environmentally friendly they're using 880,000 tons of iron or and cement and what do the wind farms do they slice
• 38:30 - 39:00 off the wings of the birds terrible way to die anyway those are my comments on on on the wind and solar and electric vehicles time okay very good um did you want to mention a little more about the book that you published uh about uh climate change yeah oh thank you I when I wrote the book I wanted it to be very simple and clear because you can make
• 39:00 - 39:30 the science very complicated and difficult and boring and I didn't want to do that uh there is um a portion of humor in the book and it's very informal and very simple for understanding because the concepts are basically very simple they're very simple fossil fuels do generate a minimal amount of of carbon di side and this is verified throughout the
• 39:30 - 40:00 book what you might want to do if you do buy the book which is here uh you might want to use it as a reference because it does have 800 footnotes and so if anyone objects to anything in there you can go inside the original reference and then determine what's there it does also cover most of the topics that are important relating to climate change now and so I hope that I wanted to encourage you to buy the
• 40:00 - 40:30 book or uh it's it's available on Amazon or it's it's Kindle it's $20 for the book or $10 at Kindle I appreciate you're considering buying the book but I hope that you've enjoyed my speech and that it had some value for you thanks very good and actually one more follow-up question is have you given similar presentations like this in the real world and how has that gone if you have during the past year I've spoken about a dozen times I think my
• 40:30 - 41:00 presentation's getting better you always learn as you do these things I've spoken at several colleges Michigan State Michigan billsdale marinata and some high schools and business groups there and I'm happy to do so either by Zoom or in person I when I'm through what is happening now is there
• 41:00 - 41:30 virtually no questions which is really surprising to me but I I think the reason is that I'm covering almost every issue related to climate change that has been deemed to be important and there is no rebuttal to it and there's no rebuttal because all I've done is share the science but real science and the science is coming from the government so
• 41:30 - 42:00 if they want to argue against what I'm saying they have to say look the government is wrong in their studies of sea level and temperature and hurricanes and tornadoes and it doesn't work but eventually the truth will out okay very good I really appreciate all you're doing here I think your content is excellent and I hope to have you on again sometime steeve thanks so much I really appreciate it
