  1. If this was the other way around (a heatwave in summer), that same man would ascribe it to Global warming/Climate change. If the Global Warming was a real thing with the Arctic warming faster than the tropics, then the temperature gradient would be less and it would be less stormy and cold. Satellite data shows no warming for the last 8 years.

  2. امريكا ام الكفر والفساد والافساد، وام الحرية الاباحيه وتحليل محرمات الله ، واقطاب الشر الصهاينة جالسين فيها يتحكمون بالسياسة للدول ليل نهار يتآمرون على الدول والحكومات والشعوب . ويتفنون في هندسة وصناعة الماسي والمشكلات والفتن والاختلافات والنزاعات والتشريد والتهجير والسلب والنهب والقروض الربوية التي افلست الدول والشعوب والتلاعب باسعار العملات وارهاق الشعوب بالغلاء والفقر ومحاربة الله الخالق العظيم ، وتحدي الله السلطة المطلقة في الوجود لتحليل حرامه وتحريم حلاله ، لإبعاد الناس عن الله الخالق العظيم ،وتشويه صورة الاسلام ، وصورة الله في الارض ، باسم الحرية واغراق العالم بالسفالات والنجاسات والمحرمات والرذائل . فلم تتعظ امريكا ودول اوروبا وباقي دول الكفر والشر عند ارتفاع درجات الحرارة واشتعال الحرائق وجفاف الانهار ، ولم يتعظوا عندما وقف العالم برمته عاجزين امام فيروس 🦠 كرونا الذي شل العالم شللاً كاملاً ، واغلق كل التحركات والبس الجميع الحجاب ، ذكرا وانثى، واصبح التباعد وعدم المصافحة هو منهج حياة . عادوا للفساد بعد ذلك ، وللكفر والى طريق الشيطان ابليس وطريق الشر والشرور والفساد والافساد ، والان الله الذي بيده مقاليد السموات والارض والمتحكم بالطقس والمناخ ودرجات الحرارة ،ارسل عليهم وعلى الدول الاخرى عواصف ثلجية قوية وقاسية وصقيع وتجمد على معظم الولايات المتحدة الامريكية ، وكثير من الدول الاخرى في فترة الاجازات والاحتفالات الصاخبة الي اعياد الميلاد وراس السنة والتي تمارس فيه كل انواع الحفلات الماجنة والصاخبة والمحرمة ، ونسوا التسونامي الضخم الذي اصاب العالم في نفس فترة اعياد الميلاد ، وراس السنه الميلادية في عام ٢٠٠٤ ، الذي قتل اكثر من ربع مليون انسان .. والان تتعرض امريكا لعواصف ثلجية ، فجمد الله الشوراع والسيارات المطارات والطائرات والرحلات وجمد السفن والبوارج ! فماذا تملك امريكا ودول اوروبا ودول العالم في منع هذه العواصف والاعاصير وتدني درجات الحرارة ؟! . فهل الله يعجزه امريكا ، وكل دول اوروبا الاستعمارية التي استبعدت الشعوب لعشرات السنين ،وكل اهل الكتاب الذين تلاعبوا بكتب الله والاعتقادات ، وكل المسلمين المرتدين الفاسدين ،وكل الدول التي تعبد مخلوقات وتحارب الله ودينه . فمن هو الذي مثل الله الخالق العظيم ؟! وما الذي يجعل امريكا ودول اوروبا والانظمة العربية ان تتحدى الله وتحاربه وتقف حجر عثرة امام دينه وتشريعاته ، حتى لا تنتشر ولا تحكم الناس ؟! ويشنون حرب اعلامية قذرة ونجسة ومنحطة على الله الخالق العظيم ومالك الملك وعلى الاسلام بعد عجزهم عن تحريف القران الكريم، كما حرفوا وتلاعبوا سابقا بالتوراة والانجيل ، ولم يحافظوا عليهما ووقفوا موقف معادي من انبياء الله ورسله وتشريعاته وتامروا على انبياءه وقتلهم نبي الله يحيى بن زكريا والتامر على المسيح عيسى بن مريم بخطة صهيونية جهنمية شريرة محكمة للتخلص والقضاء عليه ، ومحاكمة نبي الله المسيح عيسى بن مريم والصاق تهمه به انه يدعي انه ابن الله، لتبرير سجنه وضربه وصلبه وقتله!! .. والشر والعداء لله وتشريعاته ودينه الاسلام مستمر للان ونفس السياسة الشيطانية ، لعل الله الخالق العظيم يستعمل الشدة وضربات مناسبة مع دول الشر والكفر لعلهم يتوبون ويؤمنون ويستغفرون الله عن جرائمهم وافعالهم وشرورهم وظلمهم والماسي والمؤامرات المستمرة بلا توقف ضد الانسانية . حتى يستقيموا وتستقيم الحياة بكلام الله العظيم وتشريعاته المقدسة التي انزلها على خاتم الانبياء والمرسلين والتي بدونها لا خلاص لاحد من حساب الله الشديد وعقابه الاليم، ان لم يتواضع العالم حكومات وانظمة وقادة وزعماء ورؤساء ومسؤولين وشعوب لله الخالق العظيم العقل المطلق والسلطة المطلقة والقدرة المطلقة والقوة المطلقة خالق السماوات والارض ومهندس العوالم والاكوان وخالق الكائنات ومبدع كل شيء الله العظيم . فلماذا الكفر به واتباع الشر والظلم لاجل ماذا ؟! وما هي المبررات للكفر بالله وهو الذي خلقكم وخلق اباءكم وامهاتكم وخلق نسائكم واولادكم واعطاكم فرصة الحياة لتكونوا صالحين مؤمنين مصلحين وتحكموا بشريعة الله التي امر بها ، وليس لتكفروا وتعصوا وتتكبروا وتتمردوا وتفسدوا في الارض ،فهي اقامة مؤقته قصيرة لكل انسان ، ولكل رئيس وحاكم ولكل صهيوني ولكل اصحاب مطابع الدولار ولكل منتمي للصهيونية والماسونية الشريرة ولكل العالم فرصة واحدة لا تتكرر فلا تخسروها وتخسروا انفسكم للابد .فلا يعجزه احد ولا قوة في الوجود تتعرض او تتمرد او تكفر وتعصي وتفسد وتظلم …

  3. Scientists have known since the early 20th century that adding more CO2 to the atmosphere has little effect on temperature, because the warming effect of each molecule of CO2 declines as its concentration increases.

    + In 1901, Knut Angstrom's experiments demonstrated that the CO2 spectra has a saturation point or absorbtion limit; today's atmosphere is already close to saturation, so adding more CO2 has minimal effect on the radiative transfer characteristics of the atmosphere. Angstrom simulated atmosphere in a high-pressure tube of gas and measured the infrared light that passed through the tube. He then increased the CO2 level by a factor of 2 and found that there was very little difference in the infrared light passing through. All the infrared light that can be trapped by CO2 in the atmosphere is already being trapped and adding more CO2 to the atmosphere will make very little difference. Futhermore, the rate of temperature increase diminishes with increasing CO2.

    + In 1941, the US Department of Agriculture stated: Much has been written about varying amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a possible cause of glacial periods. The theory received a fatal blow when it was realized that carbon dioxide is very selective as to the wave lengths of radiant energy it will absorb, filtering out only such waves as even very minute quantities of water vapor dispose of anyway. No probable increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide could materially affect either the amount of insulation [solar energy] reaching the surface or the amount of terrestrial radiation lost to space.

    + In 1971, NASA top climatologist confirmed it again in a Paper: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols Effects of Large Increases on Global Climate by S.I Rasool and S. H. Schneider. The main conclusion of the study was that an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere due to human activities, would not be enough to produce a runaway greenhouse effect on Earth. Even an increase by a factor of 8 in the amount of CO2, which is highly unlikely in the next several thousand years would produce an increase in surface temperature of less than 2 K.

    + In 2022, physicists William van Wijngaarden and William Happer completed an extremely detailed study of radiation absorption by the principal “greenhouse” gases including water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). In their paper entitled “Dependence of Earth’s Thermal Radiation on Five Most Abundant Greenhouse Gases”, their research regarding CO2 determined that the wavelengths at which CO2 absorbs radiation from the surface of the globe are essentially “saturated”, meaning that the current concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is sufficient to absorb virtually all the radiation emitted at the wavelengths in which CO2 absorbs. This is extremely important conclusion indicates that emission of additional CO2 into the atmosphere will have little or no effect on global temperatures, confirming the logarithmic relationship.

    The conclusion confirms that there is no climate “crisis” now and that there will be no climate crisis in the future, regardless of the quantity of additional anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

  4. Suddenly emphasis is on climate change,not global warming.Which will seem nonsensical right now.
    But many(maybe most!) scientists insist global warming is a fact.If it is warmer: global warming is culprit.If it is freezing,global warming is culprit.Confusing.Just cant win global warming religion

    The two weeks of climate discussions at the COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, ended in disappointment. As CNN wrote, “The world has failed to reach an agreement to phase out fossil fuels … an attempt to address the biggest source of the planet warming emissions that are causing the climate crisis ended in a fiasco after a number of nations, including China and Saudi Arabia, blocked a key proposal to phase out all fossil fuels, not just coal.” While the members reached an agreement “to set up a ‘loss and damage’ fund meant to help vulnerable countries cope with climate disasters,” it will not reverse climate change or solve our major problems.
    We may be able to assist with local climate crises, but we cannot change the global climate with our current attitude. If we want to change the climate, we must change it on all levels, and first and foremost the social climate we have created. As long as it is negative, aggressive, and heating up, the global climate will reflect it.
    The reason we hold global climate conferences is that the climate is a global issue. Everything we do, in any country, affects the global climate. Therefore, without global mutual consideration, humanity will not be able to resolve the climate crisis.
    Regrettably, to work in global mutual consideration, we must develop empathy toward all of humanity and rise above the narrow interests of each country. We are nowhere near such an attitude. On the contrary, each country tries to impose decisions that serve its own interests on the rest of the world, and the result is a climate world war where everyone loses.
    As is the case with every war, the rich and powerful countries set the tone. They continue to burn fuels that pollute the air and accelerate climate change, and nothing will stop them unless natural disasters become so extreme that they will force all of humanity to change. In the meantime, as lip service, or perhaps to buy the world’s consent, they set up “loss and damage” funds to “repair” the damage. Such funds do not solve anything, and everyone realizes this.
    Besides extreme weather and climate disasters, the climate crisis has another adverse impact: Icebergs that have been frozen for thousands of years, and often far longer, are thawing. And buried in the ice are countless viruses that have been reawakened, and for which our bodies have no immunity. Scientists are already warning that the next pandemic may actually come not from wild animals or human errors, but from melting icebergs. A paper published two years ago aptly named it the “permafrost pandemic,” and warned of “the risk that deadly diseases from the distant past may return.”
    Indeed, if you look at all the crises plaguing the world today, you will find that none of them are local. Covid is a global issue, climate change is affecting the entire planet, rising energy prices and interrupted supply chains are affecting all of humanity, and even a local crisis such as the war in Ukraine has serious consequences for the entire world. The interdependence already affecting all of humanity will only intensify until we are unable to make a single movement, to take a breath, without affecting the entire world.
    On the positive side, none of our problems are insurmountable. In every single crisis, if we only work together rather than against each other, it will disappear as though it never existed.
    All that is needed in order to fix our every plight is to change our attitude and put humanity first. Since reality is global, so should be our order of priorities. Prioritizing humanity will not only help the entire world, but every single individual, precisely because we are irrevocably interdependent. If we continue to impose a narrow vision on an expansive reality, we will continue to collide with one another and with all of nature. If we change our attitude, we will change the climate, and we will change the world.

  6. It is sad that 99% of the people do not know what climate really means but everyone has a damn opinion about it. But reading a science book with 700 pages seems to be problematic for the most. When you have no clue about climate or meteorology…. please shut up.

  7. Climate change has become a religion for so many irrational and easily manipulated people. Even if one believes that a microscopic amount of CO2 is controlling the climate (CO2 makes up .0004% of the atmosphere) there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. A few people with means can buy an electric car so they can pretend they are doing their part for climate change. Although the mining for the minerals needed to produce the batteries for electric vehicles cause some of the most severe environmental damage on the planet along with producing gigantic amounts of CO2 by the heavy vehicles used to extract those minerals.

    The religious zealots like to pretend that solar panels and windmills are the cure. But those only produce electricity and electricity is only 20% of the energy used by the world. And both of these "green/renewable" sources aren't even close to being either green or renewable as again the fossil fuels needed to mine the minerals necessary to produce solar and wind make them anything but clean, plus they only have a life span of 15-25 years and then you have to replace them. And then there is the inconvenient fact that both of these energy sources have to be fully backed up for those times when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow. So for every solar or wind farm you also need a coal fired power plant to back them up. Paying twice for energy. Now there's an efficient plan.

    It doesn't matter how hard one tries to pretend, the world in its current form runs on fossil fuels, and even more specifically it runs on diesel. The ships, trains, trucks, construction vehicles, planes, etc. etc. all run on diesel and jet fuel. No amount of self delusion is going to change that. So unless you are prepared to return to life as it was in the 18th century when the average life span was about 35 years, then all of this nonsense is nothing more than a ridiculous form of virtue signaling.

    How many of you climate change true believers are prepared to walk or ride a bike to work everyday? How many of you are prepared to eat cold meals everyday? Take cold showers? Grow your own food, as without diesel and natural gas based fertilizer there won't be any food on the shelves in your local grocery store. Freeze in the winter and sweat in the summer? No vacations for you as planes will have to become a thing of the past as will diesel powered ships. So no trips to Hawaii unless you can endure a multi week ride in a sail boat. Virtually every aspect of modern life has a fossil fuel component to it. How many of you are prepared to radically reduce your standard of living?

    So ask yourself, are you personally ready to make this kind of gigantic sacrifice in your quality of life to try and reduce the CO2 level from .0004% to .0003%? And if you aren't willing to do what's necessary, then why would you think anyone else is? And if you are capable of rationalizing that none of these climate change goals are even remotely feasible you might start to wonder why we keep pushing this drivel like you are watching in this ridiculous video? Why do the politicians espousing this nonsense fly all over the world in private planes spewing tons of CO2, buy estates on the coast, spends 10's of thousands of dollars heating and cooling their mansions etc.? And if the religion isn't so deeply entrenched that you can contemplate the answer to these questions you might make the leap to the truth that this is all about money. We've spent 10 trillion dollars to lower the CO2 output in the US from 20% of global to 14%. It hasn't reduced total global CO2 by one bit though as the rest of the world continues to increase it's fossil fuel usage year after year as third world countries continue to emerge from abject poverty. So realistically we've spent 10 trillion dollars and accomplished …. nothing. Is it time to wake up or shall we waste another 10 trillion with the same result?

  8. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved! He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life!
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus the Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood!

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal. This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins)

  9. Climate change is a hoax. What garbage. The Lord, our creator controls the weather. Man cannot affect it nor change it. Do your own research people, look into it – Don't believe their lies.

  10. Yes, its been cold and windy, associate professor. What does that have to do with global warming? We will have extreme weather regardless. Since many more people die from the cold than they do from heat, maybe we would be better off if the global temperature rose by a degree or so in the next 50 year. Imagine all the good paying energy jobs, particularly for clean burning natural gas that would be saved if we stopped the hysteria.

  11. It is depressing how every video that mentions climate change brings out stupid comments by climate change deniers. I’m not sure whether deniers are poorly educated, willfully ignorant, or just plain stupid. Regardless, I wish they would educate themselves by reading reputable science articles, and stop cluttering the internet with their moronic comments.

  12. Hey geniuses cut down some more trees, such as Asherah trees and see how long your inhabitable world lasts. Trees take greenhouse gases outta the atmosphere, greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Climate change that destroys planets. But hey, you're so smart .
    Fucking idiots

  13. People that study ice ages have discovered this cycle happens with and without people driving cars. Ice age happen regardless of all this talk. I am concerned about water and air polution. Not the climate. We have no control over the climate.
