I’M WATERS, THIS IS MY WORLD.
>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING.
WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON
TONIGHT."
IT’S BEEN A TOUGH COUPLE YEARS
FOR THE EXPERTS WHEN IT COMES TO
PUBLIC POLICY QUESTIONS.
LIKE WAR AND DISEASE AND THE
ECONOMY REALLY THE ONLY THINGS
THAT MATTER.
THE ASSUMPTION IN WASHINGTON HAS
FOR MANY YEARS THAT YOU SHOULD
NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
DON’T SWEAT THE DETAILS.
THAT’S NOT YOUR ROLE AS A
CITIZEN AND AS A VOTER.
WE DON’T HAVE THAT KIND OF
DEMOCRACY, THE KIND WHERE YOU
PARTICIPATE.
NO, YOUR JOB IS TO TRUST THE
EXPERTS AND THEIR CONCLUSIONS
AND OBEY THEM.
COVID KIND OF BLEW THAT UP.
IF THERE’S ONE THING THAT WE
LEARNED FROM THAT DIS-SASSER IS
THAT PUBLIC POLICY EXPERTS OFTEN
HAD NO CLUE WHAT THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT.
YOUR HIPPY AUNT KNEW MORE ABOUT
HOW TO BEAT A FLU VIRUS THAN
YOUR VIROLOGIST ON CNN.
EXERCISE, SUNLIGHT, FRESH AIR,
STOP EATING JUNK FOOD, TURN OFF
YOUR COMPUTER, SPEND TIME WITH
OTHER PEOPLE.
BE HEALTHY.
THAT ADVICE WORKED.
THE EXPERTS BY CONTRAST MADE YOU
GET THE VACCINE AND THAT DID NOT
WORK.
SO BY MARCH OF 2021, PEOPLE ARE
STARTING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
ANYONE WHO WAS PAYING ATTENTION
IN AMERICA UNDERSTOOD THAT THE
EXPERTS, MANY OF THEM WERE FULL
OF IT.
IT WAS EXACTLY AT THAT MOMENT
THAT THE ATLANTIC MAGAZINE IN
WASHINGTON PUBLISHED A PIECE
PUSHING BACK AGAINST A GROWING
CONSENSUS.
THAT STORY WAS CALLED FOLLOWING
YOUR GUT ISN’T THE RIGHT WAY TO
GO.
HARD TO THINK OF A FUNNIER
HEADLINE BECAUSE IT’S SO
SPECTACULARLY ABSURD.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT
OBVIOUSLY.
IT’S THE ONE THING THAT WILL
NEVER BETRAY YOU.
BUT THE ATLANTIC MAGAZINE WANTED
YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR NATURAL
INSTINCTS ARE IN FACT WORTHLESS.
THE EXPERTS HAD A ROUGH YEAR AT
THE MAGAZINE.
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO TRUST THEM.
RIGHT.
ACTUALLY WE DON’T HAVE TO TRUST
THEM.
BIG QUESTIONS ON PUBLIC POLICY
WE SHOULD NOT TRUST THEM.
IT’S A DEMOCRACY.
BUT WASHINGTON IS CONTINUING TO
DEMAND THAT WE DO TRUST THEM.
WHY?
THERE MAY BE A REASON?
MAYBE COVID ISN’T THE ONLY BIG
PROJECT THAT THEY HAVE IN MIND
FOR US.
THE PROJECT THE EXPERTS WILL
JUSTIFY AT MSNBC.
INDEED IT’S NOT.
THERE’S THE CLIMATE CHANGE
AGENDA.
IT’S THE SINGLE MOST AMBITIOUS
EFFORT TO REMAKE HUMAN
CIVILIZATION IN ALL RECORDED
HISTORY.
IT’S COMING.
IT’S ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
THE ONLY REASON THAT MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE
NOT PROTESTING IN THE STREETS
TONIGHT OVER THIS EFFORT TO
COMPLETELY OVERTURN THEIR LIVES
IS THAT ON SOME LEVEL MANY
PEOPLE STILL DON’T TRUST THE
EXPERTS ON CLIMATE CHANGE.
SHOULD THEY?
WE’RE PONDERING THAT THIS
MORNING WHEN WE SAW THE WORLD’S
MOST FAMOUS CLIMATE CHANGE
EXPERT, GRETA THUNBERG JUST
DELETED A TWEET SHE WROTE IN
JUNE OF 2018.
HERE IT IS.
"A TOP CLIMATE SCIENTISTS IS
WARNING THAT CLIMATE CHANGE WILL
WIPE OUT ALL OF HUMANITY UNLESS
WE STOP USING FOSSIL FUELS OVER
THE NEXT FIVE YEARS."
IT WAS A HARVARD PROFESSOR.
OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS GOING TO BE
CORRECT.
HERE WE ARE STILL DRIVING OUR
TRUCKS AND SOME OF US ARE STILL
ALIVE AND HAPPY.
IT MAKES YOU WONDER IF GRETA
THUNBERG, THE GREATLY REVERED
GRETA THUNBERG COULD HAVE GOTTEN
THAT SO WRONG.
WHAT ELSE DID THE CLIMATE
EXPERTS GET WRONG?
HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN GETTING
IT WRONG?
COMPETITIVE ENTERPRISE HAS DONE
THE RESEARCH.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VERY
WRONG FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
1969 "THE NEW YORK TIMES" WAS
PRINTING CLIMATE HYSTERIA FROM
AN EXPERT CALLED PAUL EHRLICH.
HE SAYS EVERYBODY WILL DISAPPEAR
IN A CLOUD OF BLUE STEAM IN 20
YEARS.
THAT WAS PAUL EHRLICH IN 1969.
HERE IT IS 2023.
THAT SAME PAUL EHRLICH, NOW 90
AND STILL BEING CITED ON "60
MINUTES" IS STILL TELLING US
WE’RE ALL GOING TO DO.
CLEARLY PAUL EHRLICH HAD SOME
SORT OF TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD HE’S
INFLICTS ON THE REST OF US FOR
OVER 50 YEARS.
FOR 50 YEARS, HIS FELLOW EXPERT
HAVE TAKEN HIM SERIOUSLY.
BACK THEN, CLIMATE CHANGE DIDN’T
MEAN GLOBAL WARMING.
IT MEANT A NEW ICE AGE IN 1970.
THE "BOSTON GLOBE" REPORTED
SCIENTISTS PREDICT A NEW ICE AGE
BY 21st CENTURY.
ACCORDING TO THE GLOBE, AIR
POLLUTION MAY OBLITERATE THE SUN
AND CAUSE A NEW ICE AGE IN THE
FIRST THIRD OF THE NEXT CENTURY.
AN ICE AGE.
1972, BROWN UNIVERSITY SCIENCE
DEPARTMENT SENT LETTERS TO THE
WHITE HOUSE SAYING THAT THEY HAD
DEEP CONCERN WITH THE FUTURE OF
THE WORLD.
BECAUSE THIS ICE AGE FALLS
WITHIN THE RANK OF PROCESSES
THAT PRODUCED THE LAST ICE AGE.
TWO YEARS LATER, 1974, THE
GUARDIAN REPORTED THAT SPY
SATELLITES SHOW NEW ICE AGE IS
COMING FAST.
THE REPORT CITED JUST FOR MORAL
WEIGHT ANALYSIS CARRIED OUT AT
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
THEN A FEW YEARS LATER, 1977,
LEONARD NEMOY WAS ON A SCIENCE
EXPERT AND SHOT THIS VIDEO.
>> WE’RE UNPREPARED FOR THE NEXT
ADVANCE.
THE RESULT COULD BE HUNGER AND
DEATH ON A SCALE UNPRECEDENTED
IN ALL OF HISTORY.
WHAT SCIENTISTS ARE TELLING US
NOW IS THAT THE THREAT OF AN ICE
AGE IS NOT AS REMOTE AS THEY
ONCE THOUGHT.
DURING THE LIFETIME OF OUR
GRANDCHILDREN, ARCTIC COLD AND
PERPETUAL SNOW COULD TURN MOST
OF THE INHABITABLE PORTIONS OF
OUR PLANET IN TO A POLAR DESERT.
>> Tucker: HUNGER AND DEATH ON
AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE.
BY THE EARLY 1980s, WHEN THE ICE
DIDN’T ARRIVE, WELL, THE
EXPERTED CITED THE PROBLEM
WASN’T TOO MUCH COLD, IT WAS TOO
MUCH HEAT.
IT WAS GLOBAL WARMING.
IN 1989, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAN THIS STORY.
A SENIOR U.N. ENVIRONMENTAL
OFFICIAL SAYS ENTIRE NATIONS
COULD BE WIPED OFF OF THE FACE
OF THE EARTH BY RISING SEA
LEVELS IF GLOBAL WARMING TREND
IS NOT REVERSED BY THE YEAR
2000.
23 YEARS AGO.
THAT SAME YEAR, 1989 A CLIMATE
EXPERT CALLED JIM HANSON MET
WITH A REPORTER.
ACCORDING TO SALON, HANSON
EXPLAINED IN 20 OR 30 YEARS THE
WEST SIDE HIGHWAY ALONG THE
HUDSON RIVER IN MANHATTAN WILL
BE UNDER WATER.
UNDER WATER.
WE CHECKED TONIGHT.
ACTUALLY, IT’S CONGESTED, BUT
STILL A ROAD.
IN MARCH OF 2000, THE
INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER RAN A
PIECE EXPLAINING THAT SNOWFALLS
ARE NOW JUST A THING OF THE
PAST.
WE’RE QUOTING.
SNOW IS STARTING TO DISAPPEAR
FROM OUR LIVES.
THE PIECE QUOTE ADD CLIMATE
EXPERT CLAIMING THAT CHILDREN
JUST ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT
SNOW IS.
NO IDEA WHAT SNOW IS.
IT WILL BE A RELIC NOT OF THE
ICE AGE BUT OF THE GREAT INFERNO
OF GLOBAL WARMING.
THEN IN 2004, CIVILIZATION STILL
EXISTED.
THE GUARDIAN PREDICTED THAT MAJOR EUROPEAN CITIES WILL BE
MAJOR EUROPEAN CITIES WILL BE
SUNK UNDER RISING SEAS IS
BRITAIN IS PLUNGED INTO A
SIBERIAN CLIMATE.
IT WAS AROUND THIS TIME THAT
THEY DECIDED HEY, WE DON’T WANT
TO GET PINNED DOWN ON THE
DETAILS.
WILL IT BE TOO HOT OR COLD?
WE WON’T SAY.
SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN SO
WE’RE GOING TO CALL IT CLIMATE
CHANGE.
THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR AL GORE
WHO IN 2006 WHO RELEASED HIS
DOCUMENTARY, AN INCONVENIENT
TRUTH.
THE BIT OF AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH
IS NOW THAT IT’S INCONVENIENTLY
MORE THAN 15 YEARS SINCE IT CAME
OUT, WE CAN FACT CHECK HIS CLAIMS.
HERE’S THE TRAILER.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEN
HOTTEST YEARS EVER MEASURED,
THEY HAVE ALL OCCURRED IN THE LAST 14 YEARS.
LAST 14 YEARS.
THE HOTTEST OF ALL WAS 2005.
THIS IS PATAGONIA 75 YEARS AGO.
THIS IS MOUNT KILIMANJARO.
35 YEARS AGO AND LAST YEAR.
WITHIN THE DECADE THERE WILL BE
NO MORE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO.
>> Tucker: AL GORE SAID THERE
WOULD BE NO ICE IN THE ARCTIC.
HE QUOTED EXPERTS AND HE
EXPLAINED THAT THE NORTH POLE
WILL BE ICE-FREE IN THE SUMMER
BY 2013 BECAUSE OF MANMADE
GLOBAL WARMING.
NOW, IT DOES TAKE A CERTAIN
LEVEL OF CHUTZPAH TO MAKE A
PREDICTION THAT PRECISE.
AL GORE MADE MANY OF THEM AND
THEY ALL TURNED OUT TO BE WRONG.
FOR A NORMAL PERSON, THAT COULD
BE A CUE THAT IT’S TIME TO
RETIRE.
MAYBE I CAN STOP TALKING BECAUSE
I’VE BEEN DISGRACED BY MY OWN
FOOLISH PREDICTIONS.
HE KEPT TOING AND HELPED IN THAT
BY THE ENTIRE NEWS MEDIA.
NEWS ORGANIZATIONS EXIST TO
BRING YOU THE NEWS TO ASSIST IF
THINGS ARE TRUE OR NOT.
IF THEY COLLUDE TO HIDE LIEYINGL
YOU HAVE TO ASK IS SOMETHING
ELSE GOING ON HERE?
YOU DECIDE.
NBC NEWS INFORMED THE WORLD THAT
THE WORLD HAS A TEN-YEAR WINDOW
UNTIL 2016.
A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE
DECISIVE ACTION OF GLOBAL
WARMING AND AVERT CATASTROPHE.
OF COURSE BY THEIR PREDICTED
DATE, DONALD TRUMP BECAME
PRESIDENT.
THAT’S NOT WHAT THEY WERE
PREDICTING.
IN 2008, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REPORTED ACCORDING TO A TOP NASA
SCIENTIST, IN FIVE TO TEN YEARS
THE ARCTIC WILL BE FREE OF ICE
IN THE SUMMER.
THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
NOBODY WAS EVER HELD TO ACCOUNT
FOR BAD PREDICTIONS.
SO THEY KEPT GOING.
JOHN KERRY NOW OUR CLIMATE CZAR
CITED THAT VERY SAME SCIENCE IN
2009.
WATCH.
>> YOU HAVE SEA ICE, WHICH IS
MELTING AT A RATE THAT THE
ARCTIC OCEAN NOW INCREASINGLY IS
EXPOSED AND IF ENOUGH YEARS
SCIENTISTS PREDICT WE’LL HAVE
THE FIRST ICE-FREE ARCTIC
SUMMER.
>> Tucker: HILARIOUS.
THIS GUY NEVER HAD A JOB.
HE’S ONLY BEEN IN POLITICS.
HE’S NEVER DONE ONE USEFUL
THING.
HE’S NOT A SCIENTIST.
HE’S NEVER DONE RESEARCH.
HE’S ACTUALLY NOT AN EXPERT.
BECAUSE HE’S WAY MORE AGGRESSIVE
THAN YOU ARE AND BECAUSE HE HAS
ACC IS TO THE MEDIA WHICH
AMPLIFY HIS CLAIMS, HE POSES
ONE.
SO WHAT IS STRANGE ABOUT THE
PREDICTION THAT YOU JUST HEARD,
JOHN KERRY’S PREDICTION
CONTRADICTS BARACK OBAMA’S
FAMOUS CLIMATE PREDICTION FROM A
YEAR EARLIER.
>> IF WE ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR
IT AND FIGHT FOR IT AND BELIEVE
IN IT, THEN I AM ABSOLUTELY
CERTAIN THAT GENERATIONS FROM
NOW WE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK
AND TELL OUR CHILDREN THAT THIS
WAS THE MOMENT WHEN WE BEGAN TO
PROVIDE CARE FOR THE SICK AND
GOOD JOBS TO THE JOBLESS.
THIS WAS THE MOMENT WHEN THE
RISE OF THE OCEANS BEGAN TO SLOW
AND OUR PLANET BEGAN TO HEAL.
>> SAD TO WATCH THAT, ALL THE
CHEERING PEOPLE.
THEY SEEMED SO SINCERE.
HE’S GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD.
HE’S JESUS.
HE CAN CONTROL THE WEATHER.
IN FACT, THE GLOBAL HEALING
OBAMA PROMISED AT THE BEGINNING
OF HIS FIRST TERM NEVER CAME.
NEITHER DID THE GLOBAL
DESTRUCTION.
HERE, BY THE WAYED, IS NEIL
deGRASSE TYSON.
HE SAID BY 2014, THE STATUE OF
LIBERTY WILL SOON BE UNDER
WATER.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I TELL PEOPLE?
THIS REALLY -- THIS WAKES THEM.
HERE IN THE NEW YORK
METROPOLITAN AREA, I SAY IF WE
LOSE THE ICE CAPS, YOU KNOW HOW
HIGH THE WATER WILL BE?
MAYBE A COUPLE FEET.
NO.
COME UP TO THE STATUE OF
LIBERTY’S ELBOW.
THE ONE THAT IS HOLDING THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
THAT’S WHERE THE WATER LINE WILL
BE.
>> Tucker: THAT MAN IS A
SCIENTIST.
CLIMATE DOES CHANGE AND ALWAYS
CHANGED.
THE LANDSCAPE WE LIVE IN NOW IS
FORMED BY CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE GLACIERS ARE A PRODUCT OF
CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING NOW I’M
IT NEVER STOPS CHANGING.
THAT’S A PROCESS THAT WE DIDN’T
CAUSE AND CAN’T CONTROL TO ANY
GREAT DEGREE.
WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
CONTROL.
THERE’S UPSIDES TO IT AND DOWN
SIDES TO IT.
BY THE WAY, IF THE EARTH IS
INDEED GETTING WARMER AND SEEMS
TO BE, THAT WILL MAKE MORE
AIRABLE LAND IN CANADA AND
NORTHERN EUROPE.
SO LIKE EVERYTHING IN THIS LIFE
AND THE TEMPORAL WORLD, IT’S A
MIXED BLESSING.
YOU ONLY HEAR THE DOWN SIDES,
WHICH TELLS YOU A LOT.
TELLS YOU THIS IS NOT SCIENCE.
IT’S MANIPULATION.
THESE ARE NOT REPORT FROM THE
EXPERTS, THESE ARE THREATS.
HERE’S JOE BIDEN.
>> THAT’S WHAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS
ABOUT.
IT’S LITERALLY NOT A CLEAR AND
PRESENT DANGER.
THE LATEST CLIMATE REPORT
NOTHING LESS THAN "CODE RED FOR
HUMANITY."
SAY IT AGAIN.
CODE RED FOR HUMANITY.
>> Tucker: CODE RED FOR
HUMANITY!
HE NEVER EXPLAINS WHAT THAT
MEANS.
YOU HAVE TO CHECK YOUR BOOK OF
SCIENCE TO FIND OUT.
IN THE DETAILS, WHICH THEY DON’T
OFFER MANY DETAILS BECAUSE
THEY’VE ALL BEEN WRONG, BUT THEY
ARE PROVABLY WRONG OVER TIME.
SO THE QUESTION IS WHY ARE WE
STILL BEING BULLIED BY THESE
PEOPLE?
THEY HATE THE EARTH.
