1
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,600
None. 
Hello and welcome to the UK 

2
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,680
column. 
Today I'm joined by Tom Nelson, 

3
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,920
who is or has been the producer 
of Climate the Movie, and Tom, 

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,119
welcome to the programme. 
You're a podcaster and of course

5
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,760
normally doing the interviewing.
So I'm just going to say excuse 

6
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,240
me if if the questions aren't 
quite what you're used to, but 

7
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,680
anyway, welcome to the program. 
Tell us a little bit about 

8
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,680
yourself first of all. 
And if I was to say I've rebuild

9
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,760
woodpecker, maybe that might be 
a place to start. 

10
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Yeah, thanks for having me on. 
Yeah, I was just kind of a 

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,160
normal person, not involved in 
any scientific debates as of 

12
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,280
2005. 
But then this I Rebuild 

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360
woodpecker thing happened where 
there was a peer reviewed paper 

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,360
with 17 authors saying that 
Cornell had rediscovered this 

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,560
extinct woodpecker. 
So I dug into it and right away 

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,880
I found out that that was a 
total crock, that they didn't 

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,840
actually rediscover it, but it 
got enormous amounts of 

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,840
publicity. 
And on my blog I started tearing

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520
apart the the data that 
supported it. 

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,680
And a lot of other people had 
joined in too. 

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,120
And we kind of ripped that one 
apart. 

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,760
But within about a year after 
that, some guy wrote to me and 

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360
said, you know, this whole 
climate debate is very similar 

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,120
to the Ivory Bill debate, that 
if you dig into it for yourself,

25
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,480
you'll find out that the 
evidence does not support what 

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,280
they're saying. 
So that kind of kicked off my 

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,840
whole interest in this. 
And since about 2006, I've been 

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,760
reading up on the climate 
debates and participating in it 

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,400
for hours most days I ever since
then. 

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,680
Yes. 
And so you've set up a, you've 

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,000
got a sub stack and you've set 
up a YouTube channel and you've 

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
been interviewing people for 
quite a long time on that. 

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,000
I mean you've got lots of of 
interviews on there, including 

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,760
of course the interview with 
David Siegel. 

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,560
And we spoke to David Siegel a 
couple of weeks ago ourselves 

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,080
and he's in fact running a 
climate science course for some 

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,680
of our members at the moment. 
So, so that and you're still on 

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,199
YouTube somehow? 
Yeah, I'm still on YouTube. 

39
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,480
They've they haven't taken 
anything down. 

40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,640
They took one thing down because
Steve Malloy said the wrong 

41
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:18,560
thing about the 2020 election, 
but then they put it back up 

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,760
because they changed their 
rules. 

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,240
But I'm kind of impressed that I
think the Google doesn't want 

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,080
people to watch climate realist 
videos, but at least they're not

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,360
taking them down. 
So that's good. 

46
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,000
Yes. 
So anyway, more recently then 

47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,560
you've got involved in the 
production of of this 

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,960
documentary Climate the movie. 
And it is a fantastic piece of 

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,640
work, I have to say, uh, so well
done on that. 

50
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:43,040
But how did that come about and 
how did you? 

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760
There were a couple of people on
that I I was a little bit 

52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,280
surprised. 
We're we're prepared to engage 

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,720
on this topic. 
Uh, well, maybe come on to why I

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,920
was surprised about that a 
little later, but but 

55
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:55,680
nonetheless, how did that come 
about and how long did it take? 

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Yeah, I started doing the 
podcast in UH July of 22 and one

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,400
of my first guests was Martin 
Durkin. 

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,040
I was a huge fan of him because 
I loved his great Global Warming

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,640
Swindle documentary he did back 
in 2007. 

60
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:09,960
I think that held up really 
well. 

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440
So on my podcast in October of 
22, Martin Durkin said, you 

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,960
know, I'd really like to remake 
the great Global Warming Swindle

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,440
knowing what I know now. 
And that sort of kicked things 

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,480
off. 
I started working with him and 

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,120
in a few months we he actually 
started making the movie and it 

66
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,400
took about one full year for the
movie to come out. 

67
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,560
But I give him all the credit in
the world because he decided who

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,040
to interview and he did. 
He wrote the script, he did the 

69
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,200
narration, and he's just the 
right person to make this movie 

70
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,400
at the right time. 
I'm really happy with how it 

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,160
turned out. 
And so that's available for 

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,360
anybody to watch in various 
places including YouTube. 

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,280
And so how did you fund that? 
We just had private funding and 

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,400
it didn't really cost very much 
because there's a lot of 

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,400
volunteers and working on it. 
We had to pay some cost to send 

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,080
a team to Kenya to do some 
filming over there. 

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,480
But overall it really didn't 
cost that much and Martin reused

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,680
a lot of old footage from like 
the Romans racing their Chariots

79
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,120
and all sorts of old dinosaur 
footage and stuff. 

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,360
I think he did a really good job
of keeping it interesting. 

81
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Yes, Now we're looking out the 
back window behind me here. 

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,640
You can see how warm it is in 
Plymouth at the moment. 

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,839
So clearly we're not 
experiencing much in the way of 

84
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,480
global warming at this point in 
time. 

85
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,680
But you know the, the, the film 
goes through many of the all of 

86
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,480
the areas that are really of 
importance, CO2 and it's 

87
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,120
influence on on temperature, the
political aspects, the energy 

88
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,040
aspects and so on. 
It's it's all packaged up in one

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,040
place and which I think is 
fantastic effort. 

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,600
Now the question is what kind of
response have you had then to 

91
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,920
that so far, not just from 
people that are would be 

92
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,640
normally expected to be 
supportive of the message? 

93
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Yeah, we're really happy, very 
happy with how the whole rollout

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,760
has gone. 
We're getting millions of views 

95
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,040
and all sorts of people have 
downloaded full copies of the 

96
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,840
movie and clips from the movie 
and then they've re uploaded 

97
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:09,000
those to their YouTube channels 
and to rumble and to X and kind 

98
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,120
of all over the place so that 
there are clips and full copies 

99
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,920
of the movie everywhere already 
and more and more of that is 

100
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960
happening. 
One other thing on the side is 

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,720
that they couldn't tell. 
People over in the Netherlands 

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,040
have done a great job of doing 
translations or making subtitles

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,440
for the movie. 
They just hit the 20 language 

104
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,840
mark already and now they've 
been putting up all these 

105
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,200
different subtitles on their 
their YouTube channel and they 

106
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,360
have 10 more languages in the in
the hopper that they're working 

107
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,400
on and Indonesian languages and 
Asian and it is really getting a

108
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,720
great worldwide roll out. 
So I I could not be more happy 

109
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,600
with how it has gone. 
People like you say on our side 

110
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,480
think it's a great reference as 
to what arguments you can use 

111
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,240
against alarmists and then there
have been a few small attempts 

112
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,480
to debunk it but not very many 
from the other side. 

113
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,560
And if you go to my sub stack 
you can see that there's been 

114
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640
attempted debunking and then 
people on our side have debunked

115
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,760
those debunking. 
And so it's it's a really 

116
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,520
healthy thing, I think. 
And people are just arguing in 

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320
detail about each piece of this 
evidence. 

118
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960
I think that's what we need to 
do if we just believe the 

119
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,000
experts and say, OK, there must 
be a climate crisis because the 

120
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,480
experts say there is. 
That's not the way to go. 

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,920
And if you look into it for 
yourself, you'll find a right 

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,440
away that anything alarming 
they're telling you is a lie. 

123
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,320
There's nothing at all alarming 
happening in the weather or 

124
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,680
climate. 
It wasn't also happening 1000 

125
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,160
years ago. 
Well, it precisely. 

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,600
So it's it's going to be 
interesting to see how this, how

127
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,920
this goes because as you've said
or as you've alluded to, there 

128
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,160
is a whole army of debunkers out
there that are that are 

129
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,360
basically have set up YouTube 
channels and entire careers 

130
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,320
based on debunking what they see
as being conspiracy theory or 

131
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,880
anything really which is kind of
narrative. 

132
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:55,160
And so far you haven't seen too 
much response from this group 

133
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,840
yet, and just be interested to 
see how that develops. 

134
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,200
Yeah, it's interesting. 
We expected to see some 

135
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,400
attempted debunkings from like 
the New York Times or Washington

136
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Post or the mainstream media, 
and they've been just strangely 

137
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,920
silent on this whole thing. 
I'm surprised so far. 

138
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,120
And maybe something's coming, or
maybe it's not. 

139
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,720
But we're getting more 
debunkings, attempted debunkings

140
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,960
from people you maybe you've 
never heard of before. 

141
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,680
But a lot of the pushback is 
that, oh, the the people in the 

142
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280
movie are too old or they're we 
don't like the color of their 

143
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,560
skin or something. 
It's just totally trivial stuff 

144
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800
that makes no sense. 
They're not really engaging at 

145
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,640
all with the meat of the 
arguments because they really 

146
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,360
can't. 
You really can't. 

147
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,720
If you look at the data, you 
can't argue that hurricanes are 

148
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,760
worse than they used to be or 
fires are, are are any of that 

149
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,320
stuff Tony Heller does a really 
good job of pointing out in the 

150
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,480
data everywhere. 
If you look, go down any rabbit 

151
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,360
hole you want, you cannot find 
that the weather is getting 

152
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,920
worse or the climate is getting 
worse because it just isn't. 

153
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,480
There's this whole deal where 
like maybe in the US we're 

154
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,360
supposed to think that heat 
waves are getting worse. 

155
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,600
But if you look even here in 
Minnesota, where I'm from, the 

156
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,560
temperature hit 100° Fahrenheit 
38 times in the 30s and the 40s,

157
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,080
and then since 1988 it's done at
maybe 10 times total. 

158
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,760
So the whole idea that things 
the Earth is getting way hotter 

159
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,280
and the temperatures are way 
more unbearable now it just is 

160
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,120
not supported by the data. 
Right. 

161
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,920
I know this is part of the 
problem of perhaps this is part 

162
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,640
of the reason that it's so easy 
for governments and NGOs and 

163
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,120
scientists that are involved in 
this industry to persuade people

164
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,320
that there is actually an issue 
is because of course we're 

165
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,320
talking about climate here and 
so we're talking about hundreds,

166
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,799
thousands, 10s of thousands, 
millions of years. 

167
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,480
We need to be looking at whereas
most people are only looking in 

168
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,360
terms of their own lifetimes and
they won't remember what 

169
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,040
happened in the 1930s, there 
aren't very many people left on 

170
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,840
the planet that remember what 
happened in the 1930s. 

171
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:59,280
And so, since most people have 
are born post war and have gone 

172
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,880
through this cool period in the 
1970s in particular, then it's 

173
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840
perhaps easy to sell the 
narrative that world is warming 

174
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,720
up. 
Yeah, that's a great point. 

175
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,760
I'm old enough to remember the 
1970s myself, and it really was 

176
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,280
cold in the 1970s. 
And my dad's old enough still to

177
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,800
remember the Dust Bowl here in 
the US in the 30s. 

178
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,680
He he was a little kid when that
happened and he, yeah, he said 

179
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:23,600
it was really hot and it was 
very dusty, even in Minnesota. 

180
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,920
But yeah, this whole perspective
of if it's warmer since 1975, 

181
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,720
then we have to panic. 
That's just not how it works. 

182
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,880
People on my podcast. 
I've had over 200 people on my 

183
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,880
podcast and they're constantly 
giving a perspective of long 

184
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,160
cycles, and climate is so 
complicated that there's all 

185
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,680
sorts of different cycles. 
There's like decadal cycles and 

186
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:47,320
century long ones and much 
longer cycles, and it's very 

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,760
complicated to try to figure out
what's going to happen next. 

188
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,360
But just that's the way it's 
been. 

189
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,280
Even since humans have been on 
Earth, we've seen a lot of 

190
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,480
really warm times and a lot of 
cold times, and the warm times 

191
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,560
have always been better for life
On Earth. 

192
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,800
Warm times have been known as 
optimums for a reason, because 

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,920
it's a lot better or humans and 
other life when it's warmer. 

194
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,080
Do you say, I mean what what's 
your thoughts on what's coming 

195
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,200
over the next few decades? 
Are we looking at things? 

196
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,920
I mean, some people are saying 
that we're looking at things 

197
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,760
actually cooling down even 
further in the next few decades.

198
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,520
Do you have any sort of insight 
into what you think is likely to

199
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,920
come next? 
I think that's a great question.

200
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,720
And I I've interviewed all these
experts, I've listened to what 

201
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,880
they've said, and my conclusion 
is that Earth's climate is so 

202
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,280
complicated that nobody 
understands it well enough to 

203
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,640
predict what's going to happen 
next. 

204
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,720
So it could get warmer, it could
get colder. 

205
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,560
But I do think if you live long 
enough, any people who are 

206
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,120
listening that live until 2100, 
it's extremely likely that at 

207
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880
some point you're going to see 
cooling and warming and that 

208
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,880
that's just the way it's always 
gone in human history. 

209
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,040
The whole idea that it's going 
to just keep warming 

210
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,600
monotonically from here to 2100,
I would bet huge money that that

211
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,280
doesn't happen. 
It's just colder, warmer, 

212
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,320
colder. 
It just keeps happening and 

213
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,000
unpredictable when it's going to
happen. 

214
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Yes. 
So the next thing I'd like to 

215
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,200
sort of touch on with you is the
censorship side of things and 

216
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,240
see get get some thoughts on you
about this. 

217
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,240
Because I'm not just talking 
about the censorship of of the 

218
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,760
likes of your work on social 
media platforms and the Internet

219
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,880
and so on. 
But actually the silencing of 

220
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,520
academics. 
Because one of the things that 

221
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,160
that was clear over the over the
COVID period and so on was that 

222
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,800
the doctors that were coming out
and talking against the 

223
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,960
government's COVID narrative 
were finding themselves being de

224
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,480
platformed, yes, but also 
removed from post or or being 

225
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,280
attacked by the medical or 
academic establishment in some 

226
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,920
way. 
The same kind of thing happens 

227
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,360
with climate scientists. 
They're they're silenced by 

228
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,320
their institutions or they lose 
their jobs or they certainly 

229
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,480
lose their research funding. 
I'd like to get some thoughts 

230
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,320
from you on on that and what we 
might do about that. 

231
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,600
Yeah, I mean that is a great 
point that you made there and 

232
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,160
that is that's woken so many 
people up that they went through

233
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,960
COVID maybe four or five years 
ago. 

234
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,000
They tended to believe what the 
mainstream media said, and if 

235
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,600
the doctors didn't conform with 
the mainstream, they must be 

236
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,400
wrong and maybe we should 
silence them. 

237
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,600
But I think the elites went for 
the great reset here and what 

238
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,720
they got was a great awakening. 
I'm just talking to all sorts of

239
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,080
people now who have figured out 
that they lied to us over and 

240
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,960
over with COVID and they're 
saying what else are they lying 

241
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,520
to us about? 
And now they're looking at 

242
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,560
climate. 
I talked to a lot of people who 

243
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:32,760
went through that very thing. 
They're looking at climate now. 

244
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,560
They're finding out that of 
course they're just lying to us 

245
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,400
every day over and over on 
climate. 

246
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:41,000
So I think the whole COVID 
thing, it was just horrible, but

247
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,480
it did some good in the long run
and that the people are asking 

248
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,440
the right questions. 
And I I'm watching this whole 

249
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,160
climate crisis narrative crumble
right around us as we speak it. 

250
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,360
It's definitely going down. 
And it it makes me very happy to

251
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,920
see that the lies are not 
standing up now like they were 

252
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,320
five years ago. 
OK. 

253
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,480
So you you are actually quite 
optimistic about that which is 

254
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,160
which is very encouraging. 
Do you and and do you see that 

255
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,520
as being something which is 
limited to a particular 

256
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,800
generation, or is it right 
across the age range? 

257
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,440
I think it is across the age 
range. 

258
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,200
Yeah, I I do think it is. 
It is much harder to fool older 

259
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,520
people with this whole climate 
crisis thing because they've 

260
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,640
lived long enough to see so many
other narratives be proven 

261
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,400
wrong. 
So I think if you're 20 years 

262
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,800
old and you've never seen bad 
weather in your neighbourhood, 

263
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,600
it is easier for you to believe 
this stuff. 

264
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,880
But I think even the young 
people are realizing that there 

265
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400
were so many lies told to us 
during COVID, etcetera. 

266
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,880
And I should go back and mention
that in the movie. 

267
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,400
Ross Mckittrick does a good job 
of talking about how you kind of

268
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,560
you get cancelled in the 
academic world, in the 

269
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:46,280
scientific world, if your views 
didn't match up with a narrative

270
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,040
that you could lose your job, 
your papers wouldn't get 

271
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,880
published and they would kind of
throw you off to the side. 

272
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,680
And then they would say, hey, 
we've got a consensus cause we 

273
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,080
threw out everybody who didn't 
agree. 

274
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,000
And so that the people who are 
left agree and we must be right 

275
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,320
because look, we have a 
consensus. 

276
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,600
So I think Ross Mckittrick laid 
that out very well. 

277
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,440
But I think that whole thing is 
starting to crumble and it has 

278
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,200
to. 
Science is self correcting. 

279
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,120
And there is no science at all 
that supports the whole idea 

280
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,000
that CO2 is a climate control 
knob. 

281
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,200
The weather is getting worse, 
there's a climate crisis. 

282
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,720
There's no science at all that 
supports that. 

283
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,960
So the the whole thing has to 
crumble and it is crumbling 

284
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280
right now. 
Well, science is self 

285
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,720
correcting. 
But of course if we look 

286
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,320
historically, science often 
hasn't self corrected until 

287
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,520
after the scientists are dead. 
And in which case it becomes a 

288
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,520
kind of a a travesty or a 
tragedy for for them as 

289
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,920
individuals. 
But also because we're looking 

290
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:42,320
at, you know, political policy 
driving this agenda and there is

291
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,400
a danger that if it takes 30-40,
fifty years for the science to 

292
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,760
to write itself, actually a lot 
of damage is going to be done in

293
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,400
the meantime. 100% agree with 
that. 

294
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,800
And I do agree that the movie 
that we put out here, it we're 

295
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,920
not trying to convince Michael 
Mann and Catherine Hayhoe and 

296
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,000
these politicians who have gone 
all in on it. 

297
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,520
I think they're going to cling 
to this thing forever because 

298
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640
it's way too painful to admit 
that they were wrong. 

299
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800
And I think a lot of these 
scientists because of group 

300
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,480
think they're pushing this 
crisis narrative. 

301
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,720
They actually believe it. 
They actually haven't. 

302
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,320
Whatever. 
They haven't checked into it for

303
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,960
themselves and they're 
delusional enough to believe it 

304
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,600
and I think they're going to 
continue to believe it. 

305
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,360
But I think the general public 
who they're not haven't gone all

306
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,160
in on it. 
They're willing to listen. 

307
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,040
And I I'd like to say even in 
the past I believed in the 

308
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,400
narrative I I like 20 years ago 
I believed in this narrative. 

309
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920
I didn't ever climb at March but
I thought that the CO2 was 

310
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,080
causing the the climate to get 
too warm. 

311
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,000
I I hate to admit that actually,
but a lot of people are like me,

312
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,720
Anthony Watts, Tony Heller, who 
are strongly on the correct 

313
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,680
side. 
Now they did believe in the 

314
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,840
past. 
That makes me think that people 

315
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320
are persuadable. 
And if people just think for 

316
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,720
themselves and look at do any 
sanity checking at all, they're 

317
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,960
going to join us on the correct 
side and get on the right side 

318
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,320
of the science. 
Right. 

319
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,200
So the reason I asked about the 
age issue of whether this is 

320
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,400
something that goes right across
the age range of course is that 

321
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,960
younger generations have been 
subject to propagandization 

322
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,080
within schools. 
And it's a really sad situation 

323
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,560
that schools are propagandizing 
children in that way, but they 

324
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,560
they have been subject to that. 
So I was just interested in in 

325
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,560
what your feedback is on on the 
the long term effect of that? 

326
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,200
Yeah, by the way, I do think 
that parents, when they find out

327
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,800
that this is being pushed on 
their innocent kids at school, I

328
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,400
think you should take time out 
of your day and fight back hard.

329
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,720
And that I actually did that in 
my case a few years ago in our 

330
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,800
local high school. 
I found out that there was a 

331
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,640
warmest that was going to come 
in and and talk about all this 

332
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360
BS about climate. 
So I actually, I asked for equal

333
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,360
time and I I pushed that. 
I thought they can hear one side

334
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,040
and they can hear my side. 
And the eventual result of the 

335
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,840
whole thing is that they didn't 
hear from either side which I 

336
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,920
thought was fine. 
But I I don't think we should 

337
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,640
just sit back and let people 
push this crazy propaganda on 

338
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,680
kids. 
I think it's straight up evil 

339
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560
that they pushed us on kids, and
kids can't sleep at night, 

340
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,200
'cause they think that whatever,
they're not going to have a 

341
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,520
future. 
They're not going to study 

342
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,000
because CO2 is going to do 
something bad to their future. 

343
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,560
That's straight up evil. 
And we have to take time and 

344
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,880
push back hard against it. 
But I do think that this just 

345
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,839
can't last much longer. 
Like you say, there's a lot of 

346
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:24,480
horrible stuff can happen in the
meantime. 

347
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,440
But I do think politicians in 
general are just going to stop 

348
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,040
talking about it. 
I don't think they're going to 

349
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,280
come out and say, hey, we were 
wrong. 

350
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:34,280
Sorry, I think we're just going 
to suddenly notice, hey, they're

351
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,760
not talking about it anymore. 
I think that's how this is going

352
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,760
to play out mostly. 
OK, that's that's an interesting

353
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,960
take. 
I I hope, I hope that's correct 

354
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,520
And and of course the reason I'm
sort of asking these questions 

355
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,880
is because one of the points 
that's made very clearly in the 

356
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,640
film is just, you know, just 
gives an impression of the scale

357
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,640
of the industry. 
You know, we've got academics, 

358
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,720
we've got scientists, we've got 
all the corporations that are 

359
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:07,080
now producing product in form of
wind farms and and panels and so

360
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,560
on. 
A whole host of the whole 

361
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,640
industry based on this now. 
And of course at COP 28 we had 

362
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,600
the whole G Fans Financial side 
of it starting to creep in as 

363
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,120
well. 
We've had the statements from 

364
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,280
the likes of Mark Carney about 
everybody being bankrupted if 

365
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,320
they don't get on board with 
this agenda. 

366
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,360
That seems like a very big 
juggernaut heading towards 

367
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:34,240
everybody. 
It might be hard to get that 

368
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,280
stopped, or at least diverted. 
Yeah, I think it's true. 

369
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,000
I mean, I often say on Twitter 
that this is the most massive 

370
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,760
scientific fraud in human 
history and people are 

371
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,640
correcting me and saying maybe 
it's the most massive overall 

372
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,000
fraud in human history. 
So the scale here is absolutely,

373
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,480
it's trillions of dollars. 
It's not even billions, it's 

374
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,960
trillions of dollars. 
So yeah, the whole idea that 

375
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,120
this is going to get stopped 
does sound like a big deal, but 

376
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,080
the whole thing is so stupid 
with no scientific backing at 

377
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,880
all. 
And then it's so destructive to 

378
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,640
ordinary people like the farmers
in the Netherlands. 

379
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,640
They're not just going to sit 
there and let the people shut 

380
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,440
them down because they're 
they're cows, fart too much or 

381
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,440
whatever. 
So I think there's going to just

382
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,000
be enormous amounts of pushback 
amongst the real people because 

383
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720
this whole thing is an attack on
real people with real jobs. 

384
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,640
It absolutely the elites are 
attacking. 

385
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,880
They want our money and they 
want our power and people are 

386
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,600
not going to just sit and take 
it, which makes me happy the 

387
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,520
whole the protests against the 
alleged elites are making me 

388
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,560
very happy. 
I think we're going to see way 

389
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,880
more of that as they try to 
shove this down our throats. 

390
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:43,120
Yes, And and another part of it 
in the film, they're absolutely 

391
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,560
making the point that we are 
effectively in. 

392
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,000
And I say it's depending on your
definition, of course. 

393
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,160
But the definition they're 
suggesting is that, you know, an

394
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,120
Ice Age is any time where you're
going to have ice at the poles. 

395
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,600
It could be ice anywhere on the 
planet, I suppose. 

396
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,640
Maybe that's, I haven't 
summarised that very well. 

397
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:06,680
But of course the Arctic is 
increasingly become becoming a 

398
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,560
key area geopolitically and it's
amazing to me how the climate 

399
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,800
change agenda is being wrapped 
into this geopolitical aspect as

400
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,680
well. 
So, for example, the British 

401
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,360
government's just published a. 
Press release a few minutes ago,

402
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:24,280
which I'm going to talk about on
our news programme tomorrow, 

403
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,760
talking about the Arctic warming
four times faster than the rest 

404
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,000
of the planet and the number of 
wildfires in the region has more

405
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,440
than tripled since 2018. 
This is, this is their words. 

406
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,000
I'm not, I'm not standing by 
these in any way. 

407
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,960
These changes are felt most 
deeply by people in the region, 

408
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,840
but they also affect the UK's 
weather, national environment 

409
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,160
and resilience. 
But they say melting sea ice 

410
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,600
will also make it possible for a
wider range of actors to access 

411
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,880
the region, which has the 
potential to increase tensions. 

412
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280
And of course this leads in very
nicely, as far as they're 

413
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,840
concerned, into the whole 
Russia, China narrative. 

414
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,040
And so suddenly the Arctic 
becomes a a key area for 

415
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,200
geopolitically. 
It's amazing how they try to 

416
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,880
weave these these policy areas 
together. 

417
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:11,760
Yeah, so they try on all these 
fronts to try to fool us, but 

418
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,760
it's so easy to debunk this 
stuff. 

419
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,280
Like the whole idea, and maybe 
there was a surge in fire since 

420
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,400
2018, but the whole idea that 
trace CO2 caused a tripling of 

421
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,280
fires over six years or 
something that just is so 

422
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,880
stupid, It's amazing that people
believe in that. 

423
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,600
And of course they tried to sell
this whole idea that CO2 is bad 

424
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,480
for polar bears. 
But we can point out that for 

425
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,840
sure we don't know how many 
polar bears are out there, but 

426
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800
for sure there's way more of 
them now than there was during 

427
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,480
the 1970s global cooling scare. 
The whole idea that CO2 is the 

428
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,960
polar bear control knob is 
completely crazy. 

429
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,960
I I enjoy the Arctic sea ice 
thing because they they 

430
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,400
desperately try to just cherry 
pick the correct start date. 

431
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,200
And if you pick the other dates,
that doesn't support what 

432
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,400
they're saying. 
And I love the fact that they're

433
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,400
trying to tell us that Alaska is
the fastest warming place on 

434
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,080
Earth and there's this banana 
sea ice thing, or I'm sorry, the

435
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,520
Nenana River ice contest that's 
been going on for over 100 

436
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,600
years. 
I don't know if you're familiar 

437
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,360
with it. 
You can bet on exactly when the 

438
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,800
ice goes out on that river. 
And just this year, the ice is 

439
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,600
just comically thick right now 
as we speak. 

440
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,360
Most recently it was over 4 feet
thick, way thicker now than it 

441
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:22,760
was back when they started 
showing us the data in in 

442
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,320
nineteen 1980s. 
So whatever reason, the ice up 

443
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,200
there is not conforming to the 
narrative. 

444
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,960
And they they can, they can try 
to spin things any way they 

445
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,320
want. 
But if you look at the actual 

446
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,480
data, it is not, it's not doing 
what it's supposed to be doing. 

447
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,920
So that's part of the reason why
I enjoy doing this every day, is

448
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,400
that it it's so easy to tear 
this stuff apart. 

449
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,480
If you look at the real data, 
yeah. 

450
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,160
Well, let's just talk about 
wildfires for a second now, 

451
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,240
going back many, many years, I 
mentioned this book several 

452
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,200
times, and so our audience is 
familiar with it. 

453
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,560
But Michael Crichton wrote the 
book State of Fear and of course

454
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,040
fictional book. 
He included a whole lot of data 

455
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,800
that was available at that time 
in the book. 

456
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,720
But the point is he was his 
story was based on a narrative 

457
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,800
where many of these events were 
being created intentionally 

458
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,120
through deliberate action by 
activists and so on, just to 

459
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:16,600
light fires or create floods or 
whatever it happened to be in 

460
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,680
order to to generate the news 
headlines that that created the 

461
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,120
narrative. 
Do you think that kind of thing 

462
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,880
is actually going on? 
I do it, yeah. 

463
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,200
That's a great book, that that 
guy was super smart and now we 

464
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,680
we miss him. 
But yeah, I think people have 

465
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,360
been caught lighting fires. 
I think people who have been 

466
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:37,560
activists have been caught 
trying to help out the narrative

467
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,520
by lighting fires. 
That's the thing that actually 

468
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,120
happened. 
But in the case of the weather 

469
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,360
data or the fire data in the US,
it's so fun to take a look at 

470
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:50,080
that because even high level of 
people, supposedly people that 

471
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,520
we're going to trust on the 
other side, they say look, Oh 

472
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,280
no, the fire since maybe 1982 or
1983 are up, that must mean that

473
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,440
CO2 is causing wildfires. 
But that is the worst cherry 

474
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,160
pick I've ever seen, really, 
because that they picked the 

475
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,200
single year out of all of the 
20th century as their starting 

476
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,640
point. 
They picked the lowest year. 

477
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,160
And if you go back before 1982, 
you look at the first half of 

478
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,360
the 20th century in the US, the 
fires consistently were just 

479
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:18,920
comically large compared to 
whatever has happened since 

480
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,760
then. 
So if you look at the whole data

481
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,960
that we have, there's no way 
you'd think that CO2 is the 

482
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,440
wildfire control knob. 
The only way you can believe 

483
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,200
them is if you just forget 
everything that happened before 

484
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,400
1982. 
But that's the case with kind of

485
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,560
all of this stuff. 
You can pick any rabbit hole 

486
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,200
again. 
You can go down that, and you 

487
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,800
can find examples like this just
everywhere. 

488
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,720
They're totally assuming that 
you're stupid and that you won't

489
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,080
look at the data for yourself. 
And less and less people are 

490
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,920
just accepting this stuff at 
face value. 

491
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,600
So the whole thing is very fun 
for me, just the whole 

492
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,640
debunking. 
I I really enjoy it. 

493
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,360
It's it's. 
I enjoy it because it's so easy.

494
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,400
You mentioned the 70s cooling 
scare and of course the the 

495
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,680
most, possibly the most famous 
person that was behind that was 

496
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,840
was Leonard Leonard Nimoy who 
did his explanation that we were

497
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,960
heading into an Ice Age. 
What? 

498
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,920
How did we get from that to the 
global warming narrative? 

499
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,680
Because that seemed to turn on 
the dime. 

500
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,280
It it did turn on a dime. 
And another famous guy, the late

501
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,880
Stephen Schneider, he was saying
that during the 1970s that Oh 

502
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,400
no, the earth is cooling and the
cause is burning fossil fuels. 

503
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,160
And just on a dime after it 
started warming, he turned and 

504
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,080
said hey, Oh no, the earth is 
warming. 

505
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,240
The cause is burning fossil 
fuels. 

506
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,080
And in both cases the cooling 
was supposed to cause more 

507
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,960
drought and flood and fires. 
Everything that was bad. 

508
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:48,000
And then on a dime they said OK 
the warming is going to cause 

509
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,200
droughts and fires. 
It's just amazing how they they 

510
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,760
they just flipped as soon as the
temperature flipped. 

511
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,880
And I think again people are 
listening now may see this 

512
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,160
again. 
I'm not sure. 

513
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,800
Tim Ball the late great Tim 
Ball. 

514
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,680
He said he lived through four 
different kind of scares of 

515
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,440
cooling, warming, cooling, 
warming, and I don't know if 

516
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,680
they'll try it again and hope 
we'll forget if it starts 

517
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,520
cooling again. 
They may say, Oh no, a global 

518
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,960
cooling is the thing we need to 
worry about and the solution is 

519
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,120
to stop burning a hydrocarbon 
fuels. 

520
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:19,280
I don't know if they're really 
going to try that, but it would 

521
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,960
not surprise me if they try that
again. 

522
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,560
Yeah. 
And and of course our standard 

523
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,280
of living as I was speaking to 
Steve Gorham some time ago and 

524
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,400
and we were discussing this in a
bit more detail, but but our 

525
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,320
standard of living is based on 
the availability of inexpensive 

526
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,960
energy. 
And one of the things that that 

527
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,280
I thought was great in the in 
the film was was the trip to 

528
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Africa where of course they were
making the point that Africa is 

529
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,200
not being allowed to develop and
they're not being given access 

530
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,960
to an expensive energy. 
They're being basically being 

531
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,400
told that, you know, because the
Western world or the first world

532
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,360
has has sort of created this 
massive problem through its use 

533
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:01,920
of of hydrocarbons, really 
Africa's going to have to skip 

534
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,520
the hydrocarbon step and go 
straight to something else. 

535
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,880
But in the meantime, we're happy
to to pull out, continue pulling

536
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,200
out their natural resources in 
terms of cobalt and lithium and 

537
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,920
all the other stuff that we need
in order to to pursue these 

538
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,800
these dumb power generation 
technologies that we're trying 

539
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,320
to plant all over the place. 
And and so, you know, it's it's 

540
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,480
totally unfair on the people in 
that part of the world who who 

541
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:33,320
are coming later into this game.
But in the meantime, you know we

542
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:39,200
are ourselves experiencing the 
removal of inexpensive energy 

543
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,360
and naturally we're going to see
a falling in our standards of 

544
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:45,880
living. 
Yeah, that that's a great point.

545
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,640
And even when Martin Durkin went
over there to Africa in 2007, I 

546
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,880
think he made a great point 
about he visited an African 

547
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,080
clinic back then that they were 
trying to run this clinic using 

548
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,360
only solar panels. 
But the deal was is that that 

549
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,320
that clinic could either run 
their fridge or they could run 

550
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,640
their lights, but they couldn't 
run both because the solar 

551
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,800
panels couldn't handle both. 
And I think that just so it was 

552
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,480
a stark example of just how 
crazy it is to force that kind 

553
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,800
of thing on Africans when 
there's no way that anybody 

554
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,040
these do gooders in the West, 
they wouldn't go to a a clinic, 

555
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,880
their own clinic that's powered 
in such a dumb way. 

556
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,680
Everybody needs reliable power. 
And this whole idea that we're 

557
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,160
doing the Africans a favor by 
blocking their use of 

558
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,280
hydrocarbons because they're 
going to thank us when the 

559
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,560
weather doesn't get worse. 
Of course, that's completely 

560
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,480
crazy. 
And I know I've never met Jasper

561
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,400
Machogu from the movie in 
person, but I've talked to him a

562
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,680
lot on the phone, etcetera. 
And he says people in his 

563
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,040
village, they don't care about 
climate change, they care about 

564
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,120
having a clean water, and they 
care about cooking their food 

565
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,120
without getting their house all 
smoky. 

566
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,000
And they have, they understand 
the real world. 

567
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,880
And I think Western do gooders 
and they don't know what's going

568
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,320
on and the whole road to hell is
paved with good intentions. 

569
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,600
It's just being laid out 
perfectly here that a lot of 

570
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:04,960
these do. 
Gooders think that they are 

571
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,400
doing the Africans a favor, but 
they're doing a terrible thing 

572
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,480
for them. 
He also says that the the 

573
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,040
Chinese are doing more to help 
Africans than maybe some other 

574
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,040
Western countries because 
they're actually helping them 

575
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,560
build roads and airports and 
they're not pushing the climate 

576
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,120
scam on them. 
So I'm not at all pro China in 

577
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,320
general, but at least they're 
not pushing this ridiculous 

578
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,200
climate scam on them, so that's 
one plus. 

579
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,960
That's absolutely right. 
And China of course not. 

580
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,640
And you know China tends to use 
a lot of the language. 

581
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,440
If you look, if you read what 
they publish and and so on, they

582
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,000
talk about sustainability and 
and so on. 

583
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,640
But they seem to only talk about
it, they don't do it and they 

584
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,640
are quite happy to. 
I mean they're quite happy to 

585
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,080
sell the West wind turbines and 
all this kind of stuff. 

586
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,600
But in the meantime, they're 
building coal-fired power 

587
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,280
stations. 
Yeah, yeah, there's so much 

588
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,040
money to be made in this whole 
grift. 

589
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,760
So a lot of people, I don't know
how much even Elon Musk anymore,

590
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,160
if he believes in it, 'cause 
he's making so much money off 

591
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,120
the EV grift. 
So a lot of people don't want to

592
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,920
speak out against it while 
they're making the money. 

593
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,160
And I think the Chinese don't 
want to come out and say this 

594
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,080
thing is a scam, 'cause they are
cashing in on it big time too. 

595
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:18,600
So I people talk about nuclear 
power, actually that I wanted to

596
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,840
bring that up at. 
Nobody advocates for that. 

597
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,840
And I think maybe part of the 
reason they don't is because it 

598
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,200
works and there's so. 
So there's not a lot of 

599
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,320
opportunities for grift and 
nuclear power. 

600
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,200
And if you try to get people to 
buy these crazy solutions, you 

601
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,240
can make a lot of money. 
But if you try to get them to 

602
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,200
buy a real solution like nuclear
power, there's just less money 

603
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,240
to be made. 
So that kind of makes me sad, 

604
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,440
because I think in a real sane 
world, when we're choosing 

605
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,120
reliable power based on cost 
benefit, we would go that way. 

606
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,560
But instead, we're doing making 
all these stupid choices based 

607
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,680
on grift, not reality. 
Indeed. 

608
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,600
And you know, it would always 
seem to be more sensible to have

609
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,240
fewer power stations with higher
density, higher energy density 

610
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,120
in them, instead of spreading. 
I mean, it's not so bad in the 

611
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,400
UK because because a significant
proportion of our wind turbine 

612
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,400
generation is offshore. 
But in California, some parts of

613
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,280
the United States, it's I don't 
understand how, from an 

614
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,640
environmental point of view, the
environmentalists haven't been 

615
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,240
up in arms over what they're 
doing to the landscape. 

616
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,600
Yeah, it was interesting that 
even Greta was protesting 

617
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320
against wind farms not that long
ago. 

618
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,000
That was interesting to see. 
I think she was protesting even 

619
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,840
against the mining for EVs. 
As of recently, she's come out 

620
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,120
against almost every form of 
energy really. 

621
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,600
But I wanted to mention here in 
Minnesota there's a big push 

622
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,000
that we should try to run our 
economy on wind turbines and 

623
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,000
solar panels, that their solar 
facilities are heavily 

624
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,560
subsidized here, and it's so 
crazy, 'cause we're above the 

625
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:01,760
45th parallel and the sun angle 
is low and there are solar farms

626
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,840
here already that are just 
covered with snow. 

627
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,680
They're they get covered with a 
foot of snow and it makes no 

628
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,000
sense. 
Nobody's clearing them off, 

629
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,360
'cause nobody actually cares if 
they create energy or not. 

630
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,640
It's all about the subsidies. 
They're farming subsidies and 

631
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,680
and not energy. 
So the the idea of covering 

632
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,920
fertile farmland here in 
Minnesota with those solar 

633
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,720
panels, that makes no sense. 
And as you may have seen as 

634
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,120
there's a huge environmental 
problem if those solar panels 

635
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,680
get hit by hail, I think there 
was a big case of a solar 

636
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,120
facility that got just 
devastated by hail. 

637
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,880
So now there's all these bits of
solar panels laying everywhere. 

638
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,160
It's an environmental disaster, 
so that that in general makes no

639
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,440
sense. 
And I do think people are 

640
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,880
figuring out and they're 
fighting back against a lot of 

641
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,000
those, a lot of those crazy 
facilities. 

642
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,560
There's a guy named John Droves 
on my podcast who actually 

643
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,840
specializes in fighting back 
against that. 

644
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,960
So if people are worried about 
that in their local area, they 

645
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,880
can either contact me or John 
Droves and he can help you fight

646
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,600
back against this this crazy 
stuff in your neighborhood. 

647
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,160
So in Europe, here in the in 
particularly in continental 

648
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,520
Europe and it and slowly but 
surely in the UK as well, we're 

649
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,360
starting to see farmers push 
back heavily against the net 

650
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,440
zero agenda and because they're 
seeing their livelihoods being 

651
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,360
replaced by, you know, 
countryside management schemes 

652
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,200
and power generation, solar 
panels and so on. 

653
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,880
And they don't see a future in 
that for for the farm as it 

654
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,520
were. 
It's is that kind of agenda 

655
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,960
being pushed on farmers in the 
United States as well? 

656
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,720
That's a good question. 
I mean just my dad in his farm 

657
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,600
country, the agenda is being 
pushed as I mentioned because 

658
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,280
they are actually trying to 
force this big solar facility to

659
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,280
cover a fertile farmland right 
there. 

660
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,680
So that that is part of the 
whole net zero agenda. 

661
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080
And I'm hearing stories of 
farmers being offered huge 

662
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,640
amounts of money, maybe 10 times
their the price they would 

663
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,920
expect to rent their land in 
order to put up either wind 

664
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,320
turbines or a solar facility. 
So there's huge incentives right

665
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,880
now for this to happen. 
But even then the farmers are 

666
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,360
pushing back because they know 
it doesn't make sense and 

667
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,840
because they're wondering if 
maybe they sign a 20 year 

668
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,920
contract with one of these 
shifty companies and the the 

669
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:23,280
farmland gets covered with the 
some crazy with cement and metal

670
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,719
or whatever and then the company
goes out of business, who's 

671
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,840
going to clean it up? 
I think there's going to be a 

672
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,320
lot of people asking that 
question and they're too smart 

673
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,960
to just a sign on the dotted 
line because none, I guess none 

674
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,040
of this stuff makes sense in 
reality. 

675
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,400
And I think farmers in general 
might have a better sense of 

676
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,080
real life than people who live 
in cities. 

677
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:43,719
They're out there in the weather
all the time. 

678
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,639
They see what they do has to 
actually work in real life. 

679
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,199
I think Martin Durkin talks 
about this new class of people 

680
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:54,280
that are bureaucrats that just 
live in an academic world. 

681
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,920
They don't actually know how 
things work in real life. 

682
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,240
I think it's way easier to fool 
them with a computer model 

683
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,640
rather than a farmer who's 
actually out in the weather 

684
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,080
every day. 
People who are grounded in 

685
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,840
reality are way harder to fool. 
Coming back on to this sort of 

686
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:15,040
the the promotion of of this 
policy in the media and 

687
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,720
censorship and so on in the UK, 
the BBC got a special mention on

688
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,920
your in your film and in the UK,
the BBC when it's training 

689
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,680
journalists actually doesn't 
just teach journalism. 

690
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,280
It teaches climate as well, 
right. 

691
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,680
And it's and that's the only 
policy area outside of 

692
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,080
journalism that it obviously 
teaches things like when 

693
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,640
teaching journalists it teaches 
things like you know media law 

694
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,240
and stuff like this. 
But the the only sort of 

695
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,280
political policy area that they 
teach is climate because they 

696
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,440
they absolutely want to make 
sure that everybody that's 

697
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,800
working for them is only pushing
that particular point of view. 

698
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,880
Do you see that kind of thing in
media in the United States or 

699
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
are they prepared to to 
contemplate speaking to somebody

700
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,400
who's skeptical, let's say? 
I think it is probably almost as

701
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,880
bad or close to it in the USI 
think there was just something 

702
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,880
that came out about National 
Public Radio here in the US 

703
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,720
where something like they looked
at the political leanings or the

704
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:25,120
the registration politically of 
87 people in NPR, it was 87 left

705
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,280
wingers, 0 right wingers. 
So I think there is an enormous 

706
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,400
push in the media to go all left
wing. 

707
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,280
I think the BBC has a 
misinformation person called 

708
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,720
Mariana Springs, I think, yeah. 
Yep. 

709
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,840
So you can just about invert 
everything that she says, that 

710
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,720
everything that she says is 
misinformation is actually 

711
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:47,560
information, and vice versa. 
It's pretty amazing how she can 

712
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,600
get everything wrong. 
And I think BBC may have had 

713
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,840
some policy where they they 
wouldn't even talk official 

714
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,120
policy, where they wouldn't talk
to a climate skeptic for 

715
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,640
stories. 
I forget a completely crazy. 

716
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,160
Yeah, yeah. 
So I think the LA Times here in 

717
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,000
the US had a policy where they, 
I don't know if they wouldn't 

718
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,480
accept any sort of pushback 
against the narrative, but I am 

719
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,240
seeing little cracks in the 
armor. 

720
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:15,320
I I need to write up another 
blog post about this just in the

721
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,920
last, maybe the last month or 
so, there's more and more cracks

722
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,680
in the armor. 
There Was this a daily cause 

723
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,280
over here? 
KOS, they had a climate denier 

724
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,240
roundup. 
They did 2200 articles all 

725
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:28,800
pushing back against people like
me. 

726
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,920
Suddenly they just went dark and
their last thing was at the end 

727
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,280
of 23. 
They said they're going to come 

728
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,240
back, but they never did. 
There's also a Climate Nexus 

729
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:39,320
newsletter type of thing. 
Just today they said, OK, I'm 

730
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,840
sorry, it was fun while it 
lasted, but we're going out of 

731
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,640
business or whatever. 
There's more and more stuff like

732
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,840
that. 
There's this Sabina 

733
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,560
Hassenfelter, who's a YouTube, a
big YouTube on the other side. 

734
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,120
And right after our movie came 
out, within the next week, she 

735
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,160
said, you know, she gave out, 
came out with this YouTube video

736
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,160
saying let's not get too 
alarmist about this. 

737
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,520
It was kind of crazy, 'cause she
has been totally alarmist and 

738
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,920
all of a sudden she did this 
thing saying let, let's not, 

739
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,240
let's not go too far with this. 
So I think there is going to be 

740
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,680
some people who are going to 
produce content like this so 

741
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,920
that they can point at it later 
and say, you know, I never 

742
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,400
really did buy into this thing, 
look at this content I did in 

743
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,320
2024. 
So I think there will be a 

744
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,320
little bit of that. 
Like I said earlier, I think 

745
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,840
most people will just forget. 
They'll just stop talking about 

746
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,320
it and we'll go, hey, I haven't 
heard much about climate 

747
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,680
anymore. 
I think they're going to move on

748
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,800
to something else. 
That's what happened actually, 

749
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,720
with the ivory build woodpecker,
that enormous amounts of people 

750
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:36,040
who went all in on that, just 
stop talking about it. 

751
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:38,640
They just, they didn't say I was
wrong or anything. 

752
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,160
They just, they haven't 
mentioned it for 15 years now. 

753
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,080
I'm not certain people will get 
away with that in this case. 

754
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,840
So, so look, you know if we 
think over the last lot of years

755
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:57,960
since say 2016 or so, we have 
seen in the UK at least a real 

756
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,680
major splits in society. 
So the split in 2016 to 2018 

757
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:06,960
kind of time was around Brexit 
and then we had very much 

758
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,200
similar dividing line over 
lockdown policy and and 

759
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,360
vaccination and this kind of 
stuff over the COVID period. 

760
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,920
And we're starting to see 
perhaps the same types of 

761
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,800
divides when it with respect to 
net zero policy and ultra low 

762
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,080
emission zones in towns and 
cities and and restrictions on 

763
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,160
travel and so on. 
And in the film they talk about 

764
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,920
you talk about the the sort of 
the dividing line being between 

765
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,920
conservatives and liberals. 
And I'd just like to be 

766
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,320
interested to get some thoughts 
on you about how much, if any 

767
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,600
overlap there is there or 
whether it is a hard division. 

768
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,920
And and actually be interested 
in your thoughts on whether the 

769
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,320
fact that Donald Trump has been 
vocal in this area has has hurt 

770
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,840
the skeptic, the skeptic side. 
Yeah, that is a great question. 

771
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,760
And I do think that more and 
more maybe it was red versus 

772
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,040
blue, Democrat versus Republican
over here. 

773
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,800
But I do think there's been a 
shift where it's more sanity 

774
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,360
versus insanity. 
I'm seeing a lot of that. 

775
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,840
One example is Joe Rogan with 
his huge, huge audience. 

776
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,960
He's been quite a left winger. 
I think he was a supporter of 

777
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,400
Bernie Sanders and there was a 
time when Candace Owens was on 

778
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,720
his podcast and she said she 
didn't believe in the climate 

779
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:26,000
scam and he was he could not 
believe it. 

780
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:29,800
He was a dumbfounded that nobody
that this guest did not believe 

781
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,480
it, but he is definitely shifted
a little bit at a time. 

782
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:36,160
So now when climate change comes
up on his podcast, it does every

783
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,800
once in a while he scoffs at it.
He he's not all in on it at all 

784
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,200
like he just was recently. 
Let's see. 

785
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,080
Yeah, I'm seeing this from a lot
of other podcasters that are 

786
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,520
coming at it from a COVID point 
of view. 

787
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,720
They're talking all about the 
lockdowns were a mistake and all

788
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:55,240
this other stuff and they are 
starting more and more to 

789
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,880
mention climate and they're 
starting to scoff at it. 

790
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,120
I'm hearing so much of that 
coming from people who do come 

791
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,480
from a left wing background. 
So as I said elsewhere, there's 

792
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,520
a lot of well known left wingers
who I thought I would disagree 

793
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,560
with them on everything as of 
five years ago. 

794
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,240
And now I'm kind of nodding my 
head and I'm starting to like 

795
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:15,680
it. 
There's Brett Weinstein and 

796
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,400
there's there's rusty rockets. 
I forget what his real name is, 

797
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,160
Russell Brand, and there's RFK 
Junior who is talking about how 

798
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,240
maybe skeptics should be jailed 
or something. 

799
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,840
He's come around. 
He's definitely not all in on 

800
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,400
our side, but he is softening 
his rhetoric quite a bit and 

801
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,200
it's encouraging in general that
I think this great awakening is 

802
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,240
happening on all sides of the 
aisle. 

803
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:44,000
I I do think that people want to
just brand you as a crazy 

804
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,360
Trumper. 
If you didn't believe in the in 

805
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,440
the climate scam, that was 
definitely a thing. 

806
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,480
But I think that is way less of 
a thing now than it was five 

807
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,160
years ago. 
That makes me happy too. 

808
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,000
Well, oh look, it must be 
warming up in Plymouth. 

809
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,560
We can see the lighthouse again.
So there we go. 

810
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,400
Well, well, look, I'm going to 
say, I'm going to say thank you
