It's like they haven't caught up to the fact that there's so many scientists who say there's not a consensus on this stuff.

Yeah, and I think that's the thing, too, is, like, where I feel the most comfortable talking about everything is, like, what can we observe from the last 40 years, the observational data?

Because the climate scientists, they have their, like, fancy models, and they're always, like, going with, well, what if, whatever.

What we can observe over the past 40 years is the fact that deaths from natural disasters are down 99% in the past 100 years.

So when I always say, if I concede to you that climate change is happening, let's concede everything about the science.

Deaths from natural disasters are down 99%, so it's not dangerous.

So even if it's happening the way that everyone says it's happening, we're obviously very good at adapting as a species because we've gotten wealthier, we've gotten more technologically advanced, and so we are not dying the way that we used to from storms, floods, droughts, and all that.

So I think that's a really great place to start because it doesn't require you to get into...

the minutiae of all this other stuff.

And this scientist said this, because I already feel like that's a losing conversation.

So the deaths from natural disasters is one I always start out with.

Another thing I think is really important is understanding how lopsided the coverage of this is in our media.

So they always are pushing the fear

and the disaster and saying things like CO2 is a pollution when CO2 is also a plant food.

And so because we've increased CO2 in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, we've seen global greening across the globe by five, 15%, even 25% in regions of the globe.

That's good news.

And so I like to spring in the good news with the supposed bad news and say, hey,

Let's look at this logically.

Like CO2, which is the thing that we're releasing into the atmosphere when we use oil, coal, and natural gas, the plants use it for photosynthesis.

We learned this in biology class, right?
