Nobel Laureate in Physics; "Global Warming is Pseudoscience"
Ivar Giaever speaking at 2010 meeting of Nobel Laureates. (before a large denier crowd who laugh appreciatively at his witty remarks.)
32:21
notes and paraphrazing:
"Horrified by what I learned about global warming", made him famous. "Global Warming has become a new religion" because you can't discuss it. [COMMENT: what about whether there was a holocaust? or whether sex with children should be a crime? are they "religions"? or are some things just too creepy to be talked about with an open mind? When fossil fuel industry billionaries are spending money to influence the political discussion and succeeding, scientists get touchy.p]
Pathological science, fradulent science, junk science, pseudoscience (where you only look for things that confirm the hypothesus)
*Average temperature of the earth increased 0.8 degrees change too little, over 150 years, not even fever space and time for problems
*over space in time over whole year "I don't believe anybody can measure that. its impossible to measure that" thermometers were moved several times.
*what does the curve mean? probably nothing. 288K to 288.8 K (0.3% change) amazingly stable.
*1975 to 1998 and CO2 and temperature changed in common also ins
*water vapor is a much much stronger green house gas.
*hockey stick graph CO2 not the cause earth population is the cause . Paved roads and cut down trees are the cause not CO2. Nobody talks about.
*Copenhagen American Physical Society global warming is incontonvertable. resigned from the society.
*Earth is much better than 150 years ago. Longevity, nutrition, per capita income ...
*"Oxfam report showed that 21,000 people suffered weather-related deaths during the first nine months of 2010, more than twice the number for the whole of 2009." propaganda
*Rio conference sustainable development.
*Greenhouse effect CO2 has increased from 280 ppm to 380 ppm in about 100 years. Temperature has increased about 0.8 C. Is there a cause and an effect?
in 14 years since 1998, CO2 is now 396 ppm . But 1998 was the warmest year on record and years since have been colder. should be warmer.
Comment: since 2012 when Ivar Giaever made this presentation, https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-temperature 2015 and 2016 significantly warmer than 1998.
*measuring temperature there are only 8 thermometers in anartica. "How can they talk about average temperature? I don't understand it."
*What is the optimal temperature? nobody knows. It's not what it is now.
*Will temperature rise hurt farming? say it will in Africa but what about Iowa? Ethanol is terrible for the country. More CO2 better for plant life
*Body size shrink because of global warming everything from cotton to scallops, shrimp, birds, squirrels, ...
*everything is caused by global warming so lets talk about climate change. when did climate change? always to the worse why not better. Changes have always happened. Dust bowl. Greenland is melting
*list of how high sea level will rise if
**all glaciers in world melt - 1 meter rise
**greenland melts - 7 meter rise
**antartical melts - 93 meter rise
*There is more ice in the antartica then there ever has been. because it is colder. Southern hemisphere is getting colder.
*ice in greenland in last 11 years has risen 5 cm/year in inland of Greenland. You see picturres of coast. More ice in Greenland than 15 years ago. 5 warmest years on Greenland were in the 1940s. coolest years in 1980s 1990s.
*Extreme weather. 100 year floods happen every 100 years.
*Alarmism about hurricanes. Lots of hurricanes one year and claimed to be a harbringer of global warming. Next year none and nobody says anything.
*Has the sea level risen because of global warming? Risen 15 meters in 8 thousand years 21:57 but recently has risen "20cm in a hundred years" (and very steadily). and not changed recently. There have been "no unusual rise of sea level." 22:26
*polar bear is running out of ice. but in Svaldbad (Spitzbergen) there were about 1000 polar bears in 1972. "Since then bears have been protected and population has increased to ~4000 in 2005." 23:14
More seals for polar bears to eat. (more important than cold weather).
*Atmosphere is much, much bigger than you think it is. consider a 20ft by 20ft by 10 ft room. "How many matches would you need to burn to duplicate the CO2 of cars in the atmosphere? answer: one match in a year!. 25:13
*Everyday you breath out 800 grams of CO2. 400 kg a year.but there's much more CO2 with your use of cars, etc.
*Why not limit population to fight global warming? too unpopular.
*"Greens want this solution": windmills in California "I shudder because I see my tax money go out the window." Nuclear power plants "are the right solution". ("I know about the tsunami in Japan". "not a single person died from radiation" out of the 100,000 killed)
*"You feel good using solar cells ... WASTING your money"
*1900 problem in New York city: "How can we get enough horses?"
*"The earth is changing. things are changing for heavens sake?" The policy of the united states to keep things unchanged because we have it good in the United States. (30:19) We have to live with change.
*Anartic ice core. Roughly every 100,000 years we get an ice age. "Looks like we are ready for another ice age". We just have to deal with change
*but temperature rises before CO2 increases. try to explain it away. but these are the facts.
"Is global science a pseudoscience? ... absolutely!"
