St Cup decided to try and take on Bill
Nighy
the Science Guy on the issue of Science
because of course her and her little
heritage foundation
body who is supposedly an expert
economics
they naturally know more about science
then the Science Guy
even if white van and the White House
are saying is all true
the scare tactics have not worked
Chennai Super free one
won't know anything quite like to talk
about the backs you're saying that no no
no let me finish my question about
I wanna take a look at the polling I'm
only about 36 percent of Americans think
global warming
if the theory of threat to our way of
life
now again but be let me posit everything
that van in the white house says said
is true however this scare tactics have
not worked and don't you need
public consensus to move the needle 1s
so how do you want to get public
consensus by saying that it's not
happening but it's not serious that
shorelines aren't flooding
that we're not going to advise the
advised followed by some point if
they're not whatever they're doing
whatever van is doing to scare the
public
is not change in public form the public
but go ahead however
so as to how to use the science tech
actually change public consensus
well I didn't get the message out that
this is serious business in a you know
if you live in a
Oklahoma where tornadoes since white
that your town out a couple times
if you and your you chose alaska which
is a remote
generally but we start remember
hurricane sandy the bottom half
Manhattan was flooded
yeah the economic affected that alone is
enormous let alone
the rebuilding infrastructure in zaire
in the developed world
where people can get on the highway and
drive you know when you say moving a
highway 4 feet doesn't sound very much
but you're trying not millions of tonnes
Road
that to be lifted and energy has to come
from somewhere and that's just the start
of things
half-billion so where when we start
having crop failures in the drought
that's in california continues the
economic the hell you can look at
anything then you can look at the
climate reality that even this and see a
report said that that the trend on
tornadoes is uncertain IPCC report noted
that the trend on hurricanes uncertain
when the long as her king I'm not
I'm not a denier I'm not a skeptic what
i'm saying is the climate is changing
yes man-made emissions are in some part
to that but we haven't seen these
extreme weather events trends the
observed data doesn't prove that we're
more importantly is not the policy
prescriptions these greenhouse gas
regulations coming down
prohibiting building new coal-fired
power plant is just going to make us
less equipped less economically
prosperous to handle these problems are
whether they're
you know more frequent and so let's
start with we don't agree on the facts
front so this this third report came out
say is very serious you say no
right that's the there's the essence the
promisee what scientists
the researchers say yes you not all the
real thing then again even the IPCC says
that there's no
I frequency or intensity when it comes
to hey hurricane schwerner Kane
if i may this one the sand about
tornadoes at the same thing I think she
was riding although in its retracted its
announced increasing at a slower rate
over the past few years
we've had archaic I think globally are
increasing data
I think no not not like this all come
out and now is it a problem when
Science Guy is attempt to bully other
people I meet me here I cum laude
I wanted to Nyjer he had to get up I'm
not a denier because really
that math science group has tried to
shave anyone who dares question that
and the point I got no its not working
with the public
I don't even know where to begin
with this nonsense first evolved the
poll that she quoted
is absolute bullshit because it said if
you noticed
does global warming pose a serious
threat to your away
although life your way love life
so it was framed in a very specific way
to try to sue her purposes where people
go for me know I'm not necessarily I
don't know it was a low number right
well how about this the Georgetown
Public Policy Institute
found that 87 percent of Americans
support EPA action on on Climate Change
including seventy-eight percent of
Republicans in ninety-four percent of
Democrats
so when you frame the poll question to
say
welders are global warming pose a
serious threat to your way of life yet
people might say well I don't see how
necessarily affect me specifically so no
but when you ask the question more
broadly
would you be in favor of government
action to stop
global warming or climate change 87
percent say yes
so what you're doing SE is your cherry
picking information
to try to fit you're already held belief
system and you're already held ideology
you're saying
well look when you boli it's not working
well again
it is working because they want a
climate action
okay but furthermore yes science can be
quite the bully
you act like was all she said other
their bowling
it must be bad they should probably
soften their rhetoric and not talk about
what the actual data says nah nah nah
nah nah just like we say
on the show all the time in fact my
bracelets as fax are stubborn things
yes fax can be quite a bully it's not a
democratic process
signs is not a democratic process where
we say 00 everybody's opinion is equally
valid here guys it's equally true of
global warming is happening is not
happening
none none none none none none none none
no the truth is very rigid
the truth is very belong to the truth is
abrasive the truth can be a bully
and what's happening right now is yes
reality is smacking people in the face
and saying
Hey dummy look at the studies global
warming is happening
in fact show the chart okay
this pie chart we've shown this on the
show before for body listening on the
radio
it's that chart that shows that well
over 99 percent
overall love the peer-reviewed studies
on climate change
they all say it's real it's happening
and it's man-made
that little tiny tiny tiny little sliver
a bread right there
okay that is dole's are the only studies
outta over thurr what is it 13,000
studies are so
that's a but yeah we don't come to the
exact same conclusion as the rest
so and almost every study every
peer-reviewed study is like yes it's
happening
and the last thing all say is but when
they bring up that
of its gonna be so expensive and we
can't afford to do in this is crazy is
get look is gonna fuck up the economy
are you kidding me the exact opposite is
true there's nothing but economic
opportunity
when it comes to climate change because
green technology is the next boom that's
waiting to happen you know we had the
Internet boom
well the next boom is gonna be the green
technology boom you know whether it's
focusing more on solar power and wind
power and geothermal
or um thorium thorium is my favorite
because
if it wasn't for the fact that Exxon
Mobil has a fuckin stranglehold in oil
companies have a stranglehold on our
government
we would already have I'll gone further
down the road of
thorium production and thorium research
because thorium is essentially
nuclear power but it's a meltdown proof
you get all the benefits of clean
nuclear energy
without worrying about a chernobyl or
what is it a three mile five Mile Island
leverage Calder
arm you know of Fukushima so
that's the future there so many jobs to
be created in that area and there's so
much wealth creation just waiting to
happen
