Transcript
00:00:00.000
is this climate change on display for us right now is there other causes behind this here's
00:00:12.580
cnn's chief climate alarmist here to tell us that climate alarmism doesn't actually exist
00:00:18.400
just into cnn a dire warning about the state of the planet the new u.n report warns
00:00:25.440
the climate time bomb is ticking and the world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe so
00:00:30.800
that assessment comes from the world's most authoritative body on climate change which says
00:00:34.880
the earth is going to pass this critical warning threshold now much earlier than expected i mean
00:00:39.960
we're staring it down they're talking about the early 2030s cnn chief climate correspondent bill
00:00:44.240
weir is here so um please tell me we can stop this bill oh i'd love to tell you that we have to
00:00:49.320
believe that and we can and that's really the takeaway is that the tools are in our hands there
00:00:53.160
are no miracles needed when it comes to technology it's all right here it's all about political will
00:00:57.720
but let me explain the context here every year thousands of peer-reviewed papers around the world
00:01:03.660
look at the ice or the clouds or the penguins or every little aspect of our changing planet
00:01:09.180
the ipcc these are scientists from 195 countries have to synthesize all that information their
00:01:14.700
governments have to approve the language and then they put this report together and give it to
00:01:18.920
lawmakers in time for this next cop that's coming up in in the united arab emirates and it is the
00:01:24.980
most unequivocal there's no such thing as climate alarmism anymore that the time bomb is ticking but
00:01:30.520
we have the guide on how to defuse the bomb right in our hands right here the time bomb we've been
00:01:37.360
hearing about this ticking time bomb for a long time and uh but you know most and you imagine the uh
00:01:44.520
maybe the old-fashioned cartoon time bomb with the long wick that's it's going down and it's going
00:01:51.260
to explode um or maybe you imagine the the actual digital timer on it you know we have to find a way
00:01:57.580
to defuse it you have to cut like the old 90s action flicks you gotta someone's gotta cut cut the
00:02:01.940
red wire and the blue wire um but they keep extending the time that's the interesting thing
00:02:06.900
they keep extending it's all it's about to go off it's always just about to go off and then we're all
00:02:11.720
going to be dead i will say you know i i think if you're cnn's cnn they've got the chief climate
00:02:19.880
reporter and he says there's climate alarmism doesn't exist so like because no matter what you
00:02:25.340
say about the climate whatever alarming statements you make it's it's true and so it's not alarmism
00:02:30.780
that's the point that he's trying to make um we really are on the verge of an apocalypse nothing
00:02:36.420
nothing alarmist about it he claims well i think if that's the case i mean really the most powerful
00:02:44.160
statement and the most worthwhile thing that cnn could do is to just shut down entirely you think
00:02:50.560
about all the carbon emissions think about all the energy that is used just to keep a cable news
00:02:56.240
channel on the air 24 7 think about the carbon footprint and if we're on the verge of of planetary
00:03:06.140
destruction because of this then i think you have no choice morally but to shut down operations
00:03:11.780
entirely and that would be a statement to the rest of the world i mean that if you want to you want
00:03:16.820
to say something that's meaningful that would do it you say we're going to shut down completely because
00:03:21.700
we can no longer contribute to the coming apocalypse we are going to i want to hear from don lemon and
00:03:28.040
all the rest we're shutting down we're going to go live in the woods in caves and um we're going to
00:03:34.500
we're going to we're going to subsist on on berries and and uh locusts like like john the baptist in the
00:03:41.020
wilderness and that's how we're going to live our lives because we cannot contribute anymore to the coming
00:03:47.600
planetary extinction level event that would be a statement or maybe it really wouldn't be a
00:03:54.060
statement at all because nobody would notice even if they did that this is cnn that we're talking
00:03:57.720
about imagine you're a climate expert working for a major news network when one day out of nowhere
00:04:03.260
hillary clinton announces that maga republicans are causing the world to get hotter simply by voting
00:04:08.200
the wrong way and by cooking too many cheeseburgers i guess she says these maga republicans are lighting
00:04:14.240
the planet on fire they're causing the warmest summer in the history of the world going back
00:04:17.780
billions of years even before we had thermometers to measure this kind of thing that's how dangerous
00:04:23.160
these maga republicans are well last week we went into great detail about how hillary clinton sounded
00:04:27.800
like a you know like a mesoamerican shaman when she made all those claims but if you're a climate
00:04:31.840
expert in the mainstream media you can't laugh at what she said as we did you can't just move on
00:04:37.220
instead you have to run cover for hillary clinton because she's effectively your boss you revere her
00:04:42.660
therefore you have to go out on television and dutifully assert with maximum confidence that yes
00:04:47.820
hillary is right we are breaking temperature records right now and that's happening specifically because
00:04:52.760
of man-made climate change that's intensified in recent years that's the party line and indeed
00:04:57.480
like lemmings all the big networks came out and said exactly that one by one here's abc news for
00:05:02.820
example giving hillary some much-needed backup watch and heat isn't just affecting the u.s scientists say
00:05:09.360
july is set to be the earth's hottest month in recorded history let's bring in chief meteorologist
00:05:14.220
ginger zee and host of the 538 politics podcast galen druke for more on the heat and how it's
00:05:19.680
impacting voters thank you both for being here ginger it's been a busy july for you you and your team
00:05:25.260
have been reporting on this all throughout the month what sticks out to you after looking at the
00:05:30.400
heat that's affected across the country but also around the world right and that's what you have to
00:05:34.980
remember this is global warming it is global heat and so there are people in the midwest or northeast
00:05:40.480
and we're like well most of the summer's been okay like it really hasn't been anything above average
00:05:44.640
yes we've had the desert southwest having incredible heat we're talking consecutive heat but europe asia
00:05:51.060
so many pockets that add up globally to the hottest july on record is this climate change on display for us
00:05:58.640
right now is there are there other causes behind this and do we know what the domino effect is of
00:06:04.480
having the heat be this high for so long in so many places right so yes the answer is yes there
00:06:10.600
is human influence for sure we knew this year was going to be hot because of el nino but to see it
00:06:14.960
turn out this way has the remarkable footprint of human amplified climate change and that's what
00:06:21.920
the scientists were saying virtually impossible to see records obliterated like this without human
00:06:28.000
influence well the scientists are clear say the climate experts we just experienced the hottest july in
00:06:33.940
the history of the planet because we're polluting too much our carbon emissions are changing the
00:06:38.420
weather in real time notice they have the political analyst literally sitting right next to the climate
00:06:43.080
expert just to underscore the point that this whole segment is about scaring as many democrats as
00:06:47.380
possible so that they vote in the next election at this point joe biden needs all the help he can get
00:06:52.120
but wait a minute skeptical viewers might ask aren't there other periods in world history when
00:06:57.920
temperatures have spiked long before humans and even the dreaded mag of republicans existed
00:07:02.920
could we be witnessing something caused by nature instead of trump voters abc news's expert anticipated
00:07:10.320
that you might start thinking along those lines and here was her reply to that and with temperature
00:07:16.320
has always gone co2 so it follows it here's the difference that peak of temperature which is the blue
00:07:22.840
kind of around a hundred and some thousand years ago that was with volcanic and solar interruption
00:07:30.180
that's the thing that has driven co2 prior to now right now it's not the sun and it hasn't been
00:07:37.120
volcanoes to that degree it has been following one line on the graphic and that is co2 and greenhouse
00:07:43.680
gas emissions by humans so the expert is acknowledging that there have been periods out of world history when
00:07:49.140
the climate has gotten much warmer obviously but she says that was due to highly unusual events like
00:07:54.000
volcanic interruption and we don't have that right now the expert says at least not to any significant
00:07:58.800
degree so she concludes that trump voters must be the problem is that true admittedly i'm not a climate
00:08:05.840
scientist or an aztec shaman or any kind of expert in the weather whatsoever i can walk outside my
00:08:10.540
house and see what the weather is so i can do that but uh that's about it i do however pay attention to
00:08:16.780
the news and i couldn't help but notice something that abc's crack climate team somehow forgot to
00:08:21.640
mention just a year and a half ago this happened in the pacific ocean tonight jaw-dropping images of
00:08:30.740
an extraordinarily powerful and now deadly volcano erupting in the pacific ocean
00:08:35.520
this video captured a day before an even larger eruption of the same underwater volcano
00:08:42.260
rocked the island nation of tonga triggering tsunami alerts across the globe the scope of that
00:08:48.340
eruption best seen from space satellite images showing a massive cloud of smoke spewing in all
00:08:54.620
directions and as high as 12 miles in the air the most powerful volcanic activity in at least three
00:09:00.740
decades tsunami advisory in effect it's stunning power felt across five continents the entire west coast
00:09:08.260
of the united states and alaska under a tsunami alert for most of the weekend in peru two people
00:09:15.140
drowning after abnormally high waves slammed ashore ports from japan to new zealand littered with sunken
00:09:21.300
fishing boats the powerful waves tossing them like toys and they pop their heads out of the
00:09:26.280
out of their boat to see a red catamaran going over the top of my boat so that is a force of nature
00:09:33.620
shockwaves in central europe more than 10 000 miles away the before and after images are staggering the
00:09:40.400
force of the blast nearly wiping this uninhabited island off the map well that somehow went unnoticed
00:09:47.280
over at abc news an underwater volcano erupted in tonga it was so big you could see it from space the
00:09:52.200
entire west coast of the u.s was put under a tsunami warning according to nasa which wrote up a detailed
00:09:57.120
analysis of the event last august the eruption caused a sonic boom that circled the globe twice
00:10:02.040
the eruption also quote blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into earth's stratosphere
00:10:06.880
enough to fill more than 58 000 olympic-sized swimming pools according to nasa that's significant
00:10:13.920
because according to nasa volcanic eruptions normally cool the planet by emitting a lot of
00:10:17.740
dust particles that reflect sunlight away from the planet it didn't happen this time and as one
00:10:23.080
nasa scientist put it quote we've never seen anything like it so what what's the what's the upshot well
00:10:28.800
water vapor traps heat it's the single most abundant greenhouse gas that exists in the atmosphere
00:10:34.180
it's responsible for half of the greenhouse gas effect on the planet so here was the prediction
00:10:39.300
from nasa as of last august so this was last summer and this is what they wrote quote the sheer amount
00:10:46.680
of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect earth's global average temperature so they were
00:10:53.160
predicting last summer that temperatures would rise because of the volcano that seems like a major
00:11:01.160
detail to leave out of literally every single news report on historic climate change this summer
00:11:06.560
it's like reporting on wildfires without mentioning that they were caused by arsonists
00:11:11.260
something that our news media also does regularly so think about how extraordinary this is a volcano
00:11:16.680
just sent a massive amount of water vapor into the air what scientists are calling a once-in-a-lifetime event
00:11:22.700
which scientists also say has clear ramifications for the climate and they don't even talk about it on
00:11:27.800
abc news democrats in the party of science blame maga republicans and nobody in the mainstream media
00:11:33.340
corrects them or mentions the billions of gallons of water vapor that were just spewed into the
00:11:39.580
atmosphere by a volcano a volcano that by the way i don't think you can blame on man-made climate change
00:11:46.200
i that's when they'll start talking about this and when they can figure out a way to blame us for the
00:11:51.320
volcano maybe the maga republicans set it off maybe they i don't know threw a bomb down into the
00:11:57.080
underwater volcano volcano somehow i don't know to be clear this is not some temporary spike in
00:12:03.020
temperature that nasa was talking about according to nasa quote excess water vapor injected by the
00:12:07.260
tonga volcano could remain in the stratosphere for several years that again was nasa's projection in
00:12:13.320
august of last year by december of 2022 it appeared that nasa's prediction had been vindicated
00:12:19.040
research published that month by the meteorological research institute nasa and the university of
00:12:24.140
chicago confirmed that the eruption last year increased the mass of water vapor in the stratosphere
00:12:28.420
by 13 percent which is a huge amount and this water vapor will remain in the stratosphere for years
00:12:36.640
just as nasa had originally predicted the researchers added that quote the unique nature and magnitude of
00:12:42.500
global stratospheric perturbation by the tonga eruption ranks it among the most remarkable climatic events
00:12:47.200
in the modern observation era seven months later this past july the research meteorologist ryan mao
00:12:53.400
had this response to the fallout from the eruption quote based upon the last few months it seems the
00:12:57.740
effect of the eruption on global temperatures may have been greatly underestimated and ryan mao was
00:13:03.320
right just about two weeks ago yet another paper came out on the eruption this one was for researchers
00:13:08.240
at caltex jet propulsion laboratory this paper found that the eruption sent 40 trillion gallons not
00:13:14.040
billions but trillion gallons of seawater into the stratosphere what the research has called an
00:13:19.600
unprecedented water vapor injection last week dr robert road the lead scientist at the independent
00:13:25.420
non-profit berkeley earth reviewed these recent findings he concluded that quote as a powerful greenhouse
00:13:31.020
gas this water may have contributed to recent warming now these seem like relevant developments
00:13:38.840
especially if you're covering the maga heat wave that's setting the united states on fire
00:13:43.380
and yet virtually every major media outlet is ignoring this being a husband father and host of my own show
00:13:49.580
means life never slows down imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and vegetables every day
00:13:54.160
sounds miserable and time-consuming frankly i just don't want to do all that i'd rather go get something
00:13:59.340
deep fried and unhealthy sometimes damn it but with balance of nature fruits and veggies there's never been a
00:14:04.520
more convenient dietary supplement to ensure you get a wide variety of fruits and vegetables every day
00:14:08.580
with 31 different whole fruit and vegetable ingredients balance of nature takes fruits and vegetables
00:14:13.160
they freeze dry them turn them into a powder and then turn them into a capsule from there
00:14:17.240
you take a fruit and veggie capsules every day and your body knows what to do with them

00:14:30.220
promo code walsh here's someone uh that you should meet this is ayesha sadika she's a un climate advisor
00:14:36.400
as lives at tiktok pointed out yesterday posted this video uh this woman works at the un and yet
00:14:42.820
is not only a radical climate change alarmist but is also rabidly anti-white and maybe the word yet
00:14:50.280
is not necessary there as if there's some sort of conflict between you know working at the un and
00:14:54.840
having this attitude everyone at the un does but anyway um take a listen i say this because the
00:15:02.360
climate crisis is not passing the climate crisis is not a result of natural disasters it's actually
00:15:08.240
man-made it's a result i'm gonna say it again because i think they missed it the climate crisis
00:15:14.580
is man-made and it's not just man-made it's white man-made
00:15:19.360
it's a result of capitalism years of colonialism years of racial oppression and so if you want to
00:15:31.520
get involved the way that we save our planet is when we protect the most vulnerable communities
00:15:37.440
among us and this includes black trans women this includes indigenous peoples and this is why it
00:15:45.600
includes children and young people because when we protect them then we can protect everybody else
00:15:51.500
okay so uh you know what really gets me about this well first of all it's just not true
00:15:58.860
you know it's not true on several different levels but um on the racial end of it most of the
00:16:05.500
air and water pollution in the world comes from asia so she says that climate change is not only a
00:16:10.640
man-made problem but a white man-made problem well most of the air and water pollution on earth
00:16:16.260
comes from asia uh in fact we talked about it recently that one asian country has 83 of the top 100
00:16:23.880
uh polluting cities like the cities that have the most pollution one asian country has 83 of those top
00:16:32.140
100 cities and that's the country of india um so you know that's asia and then africa is the second
00:16:41.500
worst offender when it comes to water pollution specifically which means that the people that
00:16:46.860
are destroying the planet the worst offenders at destroying the planet are non-whites so that's
00:16:53.960
the first thing but the second is and i was thinking about this today which is that if there could
00:16:59.620
possibly be one advantage if there could possibly be one positive one little glimmer of a bright side
00:17:05.660
to climate alarmism which there is no advantage okay but but but if if there could be one
00:17:13.760
it would be that climate alarm alarmism you would think and hope would have at least even though it's
00:17:23.280
totally false and everything else uh it would at least have a sort of unifying effect you know
00:17:30.080
because if the planet is really doomed if the climate apocalypse is on the horizon then we're all
00:17:36.100
screwed right we're we're all in the same sinking boat um it's like if there was an asteroid headed
00:17:41.980
towards earth you know an asteroid the size of uh of australia or something headed towards earth we're
00:17:48.740
all going to be vaporized and that's what and that's what these people think climate change is
00:17:53.360
anyway basically well then when it hits we're all going to be equally dead so uh maybe we can find
00:18:02.200
some measure of unity in our shared sense of being totally screwed like i said it's a very small silver
00:18:08.500
lining but you would hope that would be there but we can't even get that from the climate alarmists
00:18:14.640
and the reason is that the the climate alarmists they filter their climate alarmism through the
00:18:20.340
victim oppressor narrative so so even this even a planet-wide catastrophe which they falsely
00:18:29.460
believe is on the horizon even that somehow becomes an us versus them thing everyone's going to die and
00:18:36.580
it's still like uh some people are more affected than others by this um and we know that's because
00:18:45.140
this is all of course a left-wing phenomenon and this is this this is leftism seeing the world based on
00:18:54.180
uh this calculation of victim versus oppressor which by the way uh there was another round of discussion
00:19:03.660
there's been another round of discussion on social media this week about uh defining the word woke
00:19:09.080
and i think this time i think libs and tiktok uh chaya reichik they she was giving a speech and
00:19:15.060
she was asked for a definition of woke and she didn't immediately offer one that is totally cohesive
00:19:21.900
and so that becomes at least in the clip that's circulating uh i'm sure it's largely out of context
00:19:27.460
but and that became another round of like oh see the see those conservatives they can't even define the
00:19:33.080
word uh woke well part of the reason why it can be hard to define because we're talking about it's an
00:19:38.500
ideology you know an ideology it's it's these are ideas okay it's this is not like being unable to
00:19:44.880
define the word woman woman is a biological category it is a it's a physical thing okay with with the
00:19:51.740
physical definitions um ideas are not that you know ideas change they can be and and with something like
00:20:00.460
wokeness is a whole bunch of really confused ideas and the ideas themselves also change that's that's
00:20:07.200
one of the one of the hallmarks of a woke person is that they could say something one minute and then
00:20:12.600
five minutes later say say completely the opposite and seem to believe both of both of those things at
00:20:18.000
the same time and so when people look at that and we can see this pattern and we see like there's
00:20:25.480
this category of people who are who have this confused idea of the world but trying to define
00:20:30.880
what that confusion is is a little difficult sometimes um but it is you know it's perfectly
00:20:39.420
possible to define there are many has many defining elements and uh you know if someone presses you for
00:20:45.380
uh a definition a one sentence definition you could do worse than this which is uh seeing the entire
00:20:53.460
world through this lens of victim versus oppressor that all of reality all of reality every aspect of
00:21:01.560
reality itself um is defined by the victim versus oppressor dynamic i just want to read this headline to
00:21:12.220
you okay here's the headline it's it is attention grabbing at least it was for me
00:21:17.380
climate change is messing with time more than previously thought scientists find so that's the
00:21:26.380
headline the headline is that climate change is so bad and we're going to find out just how bad it is
00:21:30.760
okay but it's so bad that it's not just warming up the earth and it's going to drown us all and all that
00:21:36.620
it's actually warping time itself our very conception of time is being changed because of climate change
00:21:45.100
it's a big study and it's a it's a big important thing it's big headline so let's find out a little
00:21:50.760
bit about this how could that be the case okay the impacts of human-caused climate change are so
00:21:57.260
overwhelming that they're actually messing with time according to new research polar ice melt caused by
00:22:02.560
global warming is changing the speed of the earth's rotation increasing the length of each day
00:22:06.440
and a trend set to accelerate over the century as humans continue to pump our planet uh pump out planet
00:22:11.900
heating pollution according to a study published monday in the proceedings of the national academy
00:22:15.740
of sciences and yet another sign of the huge impact humans are having on the planet uh quote this is a
00:22:22.680
testament to the gravity of ongoing climate change says a geophysicist at nasa's jet propulsion
00:22:28.920
laboratory and a report author the number of hours minutes and seconds making up each day on earth
00:22:34.460
are dictated by the speed of the earth's rotation which is influenced by a complex knot of factors
00:22:39.800
um and there's some science there which may or may not interest you these include processes in the
00:22:46.140
planet's fluid core the ongoing impact of the melting of huge glaciers after the last ice age as well as
00:22:51.060
melting polar ice due to climate change okay so that so the climate is making it's making the day
00:22:58.420
longer the day is getting longer and longer so if you feel if you've been feeling that if you've been
00:23:02.660
perceiving that that it feels like the days just drag on and on and on um it's it's true because of
00:23:08.960
climate change that's that is all the fault of climate change but how long are these days getting
00:23:14.100
because of climate change well we have to you have to read about i don't know 10 paragraphs down before
00:23:19.560
you get to this uh the team of international scientists looked at a 200 year period between
00:23:25.140
1900 and 2100 using observational data climate models to understand how climate change has affected
00:23:31.100
day length in the past and to project its role in the future climate change climate change fueled sea
00:23:37.380
level rise caused the length of a day to vary between 0.3 and 1 milliseconds in the 20th century
00:23:43.440
over the past two decades however the scientists calculated an increase in day length of 1.33
00:23:49.580
milliseconds per century significantly higher than at any other time in the 20th century
00:23:56.480
so that that was it that was the that that's what it's all leading to it's making the day longer
00:24:03.520
it's a big problem big enough problem we need a study about it we need a cnn headline about it
00:24:10.080
um and how is it affecting the day well it's making the day longer by it's well it's not even the day
00:24:17.520
it's uh it's increasing by 1.33 milliseconds per century so by my quick napkin calculation here with
00:24:28.640
time changing this quickly due to climate change a day will be a full second longer
00:24:36.680
90 000 years right i think that's that's how it works out so 90 000 years from now um people if
00:24:47.200
there's any people left on earth are going to be just days will be eternal they're going to linger
00:24:53.760
on forever the day will never end the days will drag on and on and on for a full second longer
00:25:00.580
they'll have to they'll have to endure that additional second per day in 90 000 years about
00:25:08.120
but this is actually a perfect example of what we were just discussing that um
00:25:16.440
it may seem like you have to be crazy to believe that to believe in all the apocalyptic predictions
00:25:25.240
that we hear constantly about climate change it may seem like only a nutcase would believe this stuff
00:25:30.600
but that's not true um all you have to be is someone who is surrounded by the propaganda all the time
00:25:37.760
um has no real out you know doesn't have anyone in their life who's a voice of sanity not anybody that
00:25:44.840
they listen to anyway and uh and on top of that be uh not be someone who's who's not exactly a
00:25:53.340
critical thinker that's all that describes like a lot of people you don't have to be a maniac
00:25:58.520
and if you're in that group and you see a headline like this
00:26:03.540
it you know it's and of course you don't read on you don't keep reading and do the math and all
00:26:09.920
that they don't want you to do that you just just the headlines all you need
00:26:12.140
that's uh that it's it's even a it's even affecting our perception of time
00:26:19.180
it's how bad climate change is an entire second in 90 000 years
