Extremely good climate documentary
Now available for free on YouTube
OoS Pictures has just released an extremely good, well illustrated documentary on climate change. It’s free, and very accessible. There are plenty of “talking heads” interviews, but also a lot of extremely well done animated segments. Please share it widely.
I am not fully convinced by this. I know Keen and what is called the general scientific consensus firmly believe in the AGW theory. However, until you study the work of Henrik Svensmark, Nir Shaviv, and Valentina Zharkova, all top physicists, it is not possible to have an intelligent discussion. Basically the sun controls climate through its effect on the solar wind that in turn controls deep space cosmic rays. These in turn create ionic cloud formation particles and clouds at the right altitude profoundly control climate. Zharkova has more precisely modeled solar cycles as a rising from interacting hemispheric dynamos. She models the long term solar cycles over thousands of years and these cycles are highly correlated with major climatic shifts such as the Maunder minimum. It is highly convincing, just as Keen's correlation of the economy with the private debt cycle. I am somewhat surprised, that Keen who has been fighting the "establishment" neoclassical economic model, is not open to at least considering those challenging, on solid scientific grounds, the establishment view on climate change. Before we rush into world impoverishment chasing wind and solar solutions and frightening proposals to put sun blocking aerosols into the upper atmoshere, perhaps taking a deep breath, and looking hard at the science would be prudent. Per Zharkova, there is strong indication we are entering into a 30 year period of significant global cooling. AGW supporters will blame this cooling on CO2 climate change even though we are supposed to be frying by now. Radically shifting the narrative to fit anomalous observations is not science. Note that I do believe we will run out of fossil fuel and we need to transition fairly rapidly.. But this does not require extreme panic and the impoverishing policies being proposed. We must focus on strong support for safe nuclear power and perhaps also look to profound scientific break throughs. See for instance Brilliant Light Power, in which I am an investor, that has completely revised quantum theory and promises almost unlimited pollution free energy.
