STUART: CLOSE TO THE LOW OF
THE DAY DOWN 254 POINTS.
WE ARE WELL BELOW THE 25000
LEVEL ON THE DOW INDUSTRIALS.
A NEW STUDY SUGGESTS ANTARCTIC
ICE IS MELTING AT TRIPLE THE
SPEED OF THE LAST DECADE.
THE PACE OF MELT HAS BEADED UP
DRAMATICALLY.
JOINING US NOW IS MARK MORENO
WHO IS A CLIMATE CHANGE
SKEPTIC.
I READ THIS IN THE NEW YORK
TIMES, THE BIG PICTURE OF
ANTARCTICA, THE ICE IS MELTING
DOUBLE THE SPEED OR TRIPLE THE
SPEED AND SEALEVEL RATES ARE
RISING.
THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE OF HUMAN
ACTIVITY.
WHAT SAY YOU.
>> THE ARTICLE HAD TO ISSUE
MULTIPLE CORRECTIONS BECAUSE
IT HAD ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
CLAIMS IN THE ARTICLE.
SECOND OF ALL IN MY BOOK I GO
BACK AND SHOW THAT IN 1901,
1922, 1979 AND 2014, 2018 THAT
THEY'VE COME UP WITH MELT
SCENARIOS OVER AND OVER.
I ALSO POINT OUT THAT IN 2015,
A STUDY SHOWED THEY WERE
GAINING IT AND ACTUALLY
CONTRIBUTING TO A SEALEVEL
LOWERING.
THIS NEW STUDY WHICH, BY THE
WAY, IT USED OBSERVATIONAL
DATA BUT TO ENHANCE THAT THEY
USED MODELS, NOT EVEN ACTUAL
MODELS AND IT GIVES THEM A
HUGE FUDGE FACTOR.
THIS IS ONLY OVER A DECADE OR
SO, A VERY SHORT TIMESCALE.
THE NEXT DROP LATE INTO THE
FUTURE ALL THESE SCARY
SCENARIOS.
1921, THEY WERE DOING THE SAME
THING.
ANTARCTICA IS THERE GO TO
SCARE.
SEE ICE WAS PREDICTED TO
DECLINE YEARS AGO AND THEN WE
HAD RECORD AMOUNTS AND THEN
CONSISTENT WITH GLOBAL WARMING.
THEY ARE JUMPING ALL OVER BUT
THIS LATEST STUDY FLIES IN THE
FACE OF STUDIES INCLUDING
NASA.
STUART: LET ME WRAP THIS ALL
UP AND GENERALIZE.
WE ARE TOLD CLIMATE CHANGE,
THAT THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING,
YOU CAN CALL IT WEATHER IF
YOU'D LIKE BUT IT'S CLIMATE
CHANGE AND ITS HAPPENED IN
PART BECAUSE OF HUMAN
ACTIVITY.
DUE TO DISMISSED THAT
ENTIRELY.
>> NO I DON'T.
LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY.
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF IMPACTS
ON THE CLIMATE.
YOU CANNOT DISTINGUISH HUMANS
IMPACT FROM THE NATURAL
VARIABILITY AND THERE'S
NOTHING UNUSUAL GOING ON
INCLUDING HURRICANES, FLOODS,
DROUGHTS PROVIDE DETAIL THAT
THESE ARE EITHER ON NO TREND
OR DECLINING TREND ON CLIMATE
TIMESCALE.
THOUGH GO FIVE OR TEN YEARS
AND TRY TO CHERRY PICK A TIME
FRAME AND EXTRAPOLATE AND COME
UP WITH DOOM.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST 100
YEARS OF SEA LEVEL RISE
THERE'S NO ACCELERATION
ACCORDING TO GAUGES BUT THEY
KEEP COMING UP WITH SCARE
AFTER SCARE IN THE MEDIA
BECAUSE SCIENTISTS ARE DRIVEN
TO GET HEADLINES AND ATTENTION
AND ITS SPECULATION.
IT'S ALL SPECULATION.
STUART: ALL RELATE THE STUDY
AT BERKELEY THEY CALL IT MASS
EXTINCTION IS COMING IN THERE
PUSHING FOR POPULATION
CONTROL.
REACT TO THAT.
>> IN MY BOOK I GO BACK TO THE
1960s AND I SHOW NO MATTER
THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCARE,
FAMINES,'S CARE CITIES, ALL
SORTS OF CALAMITIES, THEY
ALWAYS HAD SOLUTIONS THE
MATTER THE SCARE.
THEY ALWAYS WANTED CENTRAL
POWER, REDISTRIBUTION OF
WEALTH AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE.
NOW THE BERKELEY CITY COUNCIL
IS FOLLOWING THAT SAME LINE
EVEN THOUGH THE NEW
PRODUCTIONS OF POPULATIONS
SHOW A DECLINE IN POPULATION
AS WE GO FORWARD.
MORE PORTLY, THEIR OWN
GOVERNOR, JERRY BROWN SAID
GLOBAL WARMING WILL KILL
3 BILLION PEOPLE.
THEY'RE WORRIED THAT
OVERPOPULATION WILL LEAD TO
GLOBAL WARMING BUT THEIR OWN
GOVERNOR IS SAYING GLOBAL
WARMING WILL KILL 3 BILLION
