Global warming wasn't happening so had to call it climate change
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=12
The globe's not warming
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=43
In the past, scientists warned of global cooling
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=68
Arctic sea ice is increasing
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=109
The sun is responsible for any warming
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=123
Humans only emit a tiny fraction of the CO released into the atmosphere every year
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=142
Volcanoes emit way more Co, than humans
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=198
All predictions have failed
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=257
The Earth has warmed and cooled in the past
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=277
CO, lags behind the temperature rise
/youtube/video/OWXoRSIxyIU?t=303
Global warming is not bad
