But the IPCC, which is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is the UN body that will look up, will look at all of the climate research when they do their big studies on all this stuff.

And they are not even able to find, in their own work, that there's a pattern of increase.

And hurricanes, I think, is a crazy one.

There's no pattern.

And to the uninitiated, right?

You hear in high school,

extreme weather's getting worse because of climate change.

Then there's Hurricane Katrina, right?

And then they're saying, well, look at these billion dollar hurricanes or billion dollar damage hurricanes are getting worse.

And so you never question that original assumption.

And then every time there's a storm, it's just your brain goes, oh, another horrible storm.

Right, exactly.

So the claim, oh, my gosh, I'm... That was one study by a man whose last name is Cook.

And I want to be careful.

I probably will not say it perfectly, but essentially the takeaway was that he said in his research that nine... He looked at, like, 12,000 studies on climate change, and he said 97% of the scientists, um...

said that climate change is happening, but... And it's caused by humans.

But, no, he just said, I think in that one, it was just that it's happening, but then it got retold by people saying that it's happening, it's caused by humans, and it's dangerous.

Yeah, it was going up, basically.

And he would count people, like, a lot of scientists, when they were, like, counted, when they heard that they were counted, their papers were counting the 97%, they were like, yeah, but my paper said, like, it wasn't a big deal, right?

So, like...
