I have followed climate change issues for decades, have listened to various scientists, and environmentalists. This hour lecture is not only correct, but is very concise, up to date as well as presented in a logical order. Very excellent.

Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C since 1992 with no known cause.
Ultimately, I think that property values and business potential are what's at risk to those who deny that the climate is changing. Some people's salaries even depend on their denial. The root of this is based in our very DNA, which causes us to be self protective and defensive. So our biggest challenge is overcoming our own natural nature and see above the clouds of money and power and choose to limit ourselves, our use of energy, really. It's a fascinating study of our basic selves. But because it's so inherent in our very core structure to look out for family and others in our group, well, I don't know of anyone who is willing to give up comfort, convenience and indulgence. So can we save ourselves from our own natural nature? Hmmm.

Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C since 1992 with no known cause. In 2022 global warming was officially reported at 1.06°C.
The solution: consume less, everyone. Too bad humans won't listen in this Western culture. Its a consumer culture and not only that, we compete with each other to see who can consume and possess more than the next... sickens me
Sorry but the science isn't settled. While most scientists agree on a slight warming they dont agree that its catastrophic.

@@ptegsotica5895 Make a America Great alert! Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C since 1992. Earth's greenhouse effect absorbs all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth within 20 meters of the radiating surface and is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor. That's high school science everybody is suppose to know it. That's where I remember it from, but then I was very interested at the time with weather and atmospherics. It checks. Water vapor has a CO2e of 18 and at average 1% tropospheric water vapor the ratio of temperature forcing between water vapor and CO2 is 450:1, but water vapor always holds earth's greenhouse effect in saturation. US Senator Al Gore heard Carl Sagon, a famous science story teller, at a senate hearing on climate change in the 1980s I saw, where Mr. Sagan was asking for funding for studying greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as they might have a bearing on global warming and went way off the rails not recognizing earth's greenhouse effect is a primary example of a system always in saturation from water vapor. Al Gore looked like he'd gotten the wining secret number for the lottery. In 1992 UD vise present Al Gore made in US federal policy human caused greenhouse gas emissions were causing global warming and pushed it onto the United Nations. Al Gore has been able to increase his net worth from a little under 10 million dollars to over 100 million dollars largely due to this scam.
The belief that putting back a fraction of all CO2 to where it came from would be something dangerous is ridiculous. All ancestors to all now living species never had a problem with CO2 and we will not either unless climate alarmism destroys our society.
