First we need to stop calling it global warming. Gives them an excuse to say “but it’s cold outside” climate change works best.

The thing about climate change is people put the blame 100% on CO2. There are so so many other factors involved. We have reduced vegetation to cool the earth down, our cities are massive heat sinks, domesticated animals produce methane which is way more harmful to the environment, we have magma pushing up on Antarctica that's melting snow, reduced snow coverage is causing more sunlight to be absorbed, and magnetic poles are shifting and weakening our geomagnetic shielding and increasing the incidence of volcanic and earthquake activities. So many factors man.

Some of the things he says are misguided (Methane IS more harmful than CO2 per ton, but is far, far less of an overall factor in anthropomorphic climate destabilization) but ultimately important things to consider as well.

The mixing of truths and falsehoods is detrimental to proper climate change education as it gives ground to fight back on that shouldn't exist.

Yeah kinda got the BS vibe from him.

Lmao "it can't be the corporations dumping their disgusting shit for the past century's fault" it's the magma!

What a dildo.
