 It figures to me the best way to shut up any climate change denier, is to ask them to put their money where their mouth is. I went over the numbers earlier this year and it turns out every single year Ive been alive (more than 40 years) has been one of the hottest 20 on record. Naturally if there was no global warming the chances of this year being in the top 20 hottest on record (records going back about 120 years) is about 1 in six. This also means the chances of this NOT being one of the hottest years on record is about 5/6.  The bet is ludicrously in favor of climate change deniers, IIIFFFFF there is no global warming. In reality, if you bet that global warming is real, this is a bet you would have won every single year for FORTY YEARS STRAIGHT! Some might say 'checkmate climate change deniers!' ;-)

Dumbest Climate change denier EVER!!!

Citing Venus as an example of why increasing carbon dioxide levels on earth shouldnt be taken seriously! https://twitter.com/JunkScience/status/1073757414770524162 This is just stupidity on a monumental level. you can support this channel directly here: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Hello, I really like your videos and how you explain and debunk things in a scientific way but also make it understandable. I think when people argue against the climate change they are not really arguing, that the climate is not changing (At least not all of them.) I mean we can see it with our own eyes and we see the data. But the question is, if this is just a normal cycle? And, if man made CO2 is really responsible for the change. Maybe some say it is stupid to even ask such questions, because we have been told that this is the truth our whole live. But you know how it is. You have shown that radiation is not that much of a problem and a lot of other stuff which was hyped by the media. So could you make a video about this topic, or is it to tough, or to trivial?

We know that CO2 we put into the environment is the main contributing factor, and can show the correlation (and causation) between it and temperature. We also know the physics that explains why an increase from 300 ppm to 600 ppm will have an effect, even when those are tiny numbers. The easiest experiment would be to have a plexiglass box of normal air and a plexiglass box of 90% air 10% CO2, with a thermometer in each. Leave them in the sun for a few hours and you should have a measurable temperature difference. But explaining the magnitude of the temperature increase is a lot harder (especially when the experiment used 100,000 ppm CO2), and the long-term delayed effect is harder still. The atmosphere isn't a single consistent thing, nor is the surface of the planet (seasonal changes can have significant effects), so the real effect gets a lot more complicated. Meanwhile, the oceans absorb heat and CO2 and take it to the depths where we couldn't see or measure it until recently. But at some point that water will complete a cycle and the entirety of the oceans will be warmer, so they won't absorb our heat anymore. And even worse, warmer water holds less CO2 - as we know from daily life as we prefer our soft drinks to be cold, and a hot soft drink is flat because it lost it's carbonation. So that exacerbates the cycle. It's fairly simple to explain small chunks of the sky, just like it's simple to write a profile of one person. But when you put all those chunks together it's like trying to write a profile for all the people in a nation. You need additional tools, much like you need demographics and statistics and a census to help describe a national population. So, putting all those little snapshots and processes together gets very complicated. Hence, IPCC has it's regular publication that combines the info we have into a single entity. And fortunately it has an executive summary and layman sections that are free of the technical jargon and nuanced complications.
