The biggest problem with Climate Change | Konstantin Kisin

John and Konstantin discuss the lies that are being told about how best to combat climate change and what the consequences of those lies are.
Raised in the Soviet Union, Konstantin is not persuaded by leftist visions of utopia, and exhorts reasonable people to speak out against the 'woke mob'. He also argues that multiculturalism should be rebranded as multi-ethnic societies with a 'monoculture', uniting everyone from different backgrounds.
Konstantin Kisin is a writer, social commentator, comedian, and co-host of the free speech podcast Triggernometry. He is a regular on British and American TV and radio shows including Question Time, Good Morning Britain, BBC Breakfast, Daily Politics, LBC Cross Question, Tucker Carlson, the Megyn Kelly Show, and many others.
Konstantin has written for publications including the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator, Tablet Magazine, Quillette, and Standpoint as well as his first book, An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West. More recently, he spoke at the inaugural Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference in London, England.
Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.
John believes proper, robust dialogue is necessary if we are to maintain our social strength and cohesion. As he puts it; "You cannot get good public policy out of a bad public debate."

Those who tell us to install rooftop solar have figured out that the HVAC system of a well-built home should only operate a few minutes each hour, so that most of the solar power bleeds back into grid - that doesn't pay for it. Now, you need batteries to store that solar power, but few homeowners can afford that. So, now the state will subsidize billions for public battery utilities - which can catch fire, or freeze in the winter. What happened to riding the bus? Why do city people need EVs?

Not only are the poor hit hard by high energy prices, it is also a very criminal idea to limit CO2, because all life depends on it. It is known that in the past the amount of CO2 was about 7000 ppm and there has been a lot of growth in nature, nothing has broken or died, otherwise we would not be here now. The current 420 ppm means nothing and does not cause an extreme greenhouse effect at all. The first 20 ppm provide 80% of the NECESSARY greenhouse effect, otherwise it would be below freezing everywhere. Above this, the effect decreases exponentially and at the current 420 ppm the effect is negligible. CO2 is the only greenhouse gas that has this property, but it may not be published. Climate change is caused by the sun and geothermal heat and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor. The world is controlled by very big criminals who rob the world's population and almost everyone participates, banks, pension funds, many companies and they can't go back because they have made themselves dependent by their own greed.

Tony Heller has made a tireless effort to present the actual climate data. The relatively few decades of imperical weather data do not show a heating trend. The huge mega cities are relatively warm compared to rural areas not far away. Who would have thought that concrete and asphalt is warmer than trees and grass?

[@jouniantero]

Tony is a legend for what he has been doing. I hope he would get some visibility in some of the bigger podcasts maybe in the near future. He basically destroys the green ideology simply by looking at the history and science. Sometimes the points he makes are so obvious but so against the main stream narrative that it is almost painful to watch 😄

[@Tengooda]

Tony Heller is a misinformer and deceiver about climate issues, and you appear to be one of his many victims. Claiming that there is not a recent heating trend is absurd denialism. That global heating trend is shown not only on land but also in sea surface temperatures (that Heller NEVER mentions). Heller only ever mentions data from the contiguous USA (or a few other cherry picked areas) where adjustments to raw temperature data does indeed increase the rate of warming - and then accuses scientists of "fraud" and "tampering" with the data. But Heller never mentions the much larger areas, (including all ocean data) where adjustments REDUCE the rate of warming. The OVERALL effect of adjustments is to reduce the rate of warming, but Heller never mentions that because that would cause his claims of fraud to fall flat on their face. Heller is a disgrace, followed only by gullible individuals who haven't looked at all the data.

To get hot water when the electricity is out, Hubby and I had a solar hot water tank installed on our roof. Here in the tropics electric outage can be a daily occurrence which results in an unreliable supply of hot water. We've had the solar tank about 20 years now, and the only time it does not provide sufficient hot water is when there is no sun for 5+ days, a rarity. 8 Years ago an overflow part failed which caused flooding. Companies will install the solar tanks, however NO ONE here repairs them or has access to original parts. It took Hubby over 3 months of buying parts locally, sawing and soldering trying to creat what was needed. Then he started ordering parts online, and sawed and soldered some more to create what was needed. Finally, he was able to create a part that functioned perfectly, better than the original part. During that time we used our electrical tankless water heater which is not a great hot water provider. ----- As a home owner I'm not convinced that solar electricity is any financial saving. I'm not convinced that, at this point in time, we have the necessary technology that would enable us to reach our energy goals..

The real killer to society is going to be food costs and shortages. All of the Western advances in farming are very dependent on energy. In the US, 30.2% of the population worked on farms directly; today, that number is 1.2%. That was almost exclusively due to improved farming tech that is energy driven: fuel, fertilizer and pesticides. That also means that only a small fraction of the population has any idea how to grow crops consistently.

I saw something recently that said that in the US, the estimated need for electrical power by 2028 is now double what it was, only a few years ago, due largely to electric cars, data centers, heat pumps, and factories that produce batteries. Where I live, the building codes for new construction no longer allow wood burning fireplaces. The subsidies for installing heat pumps (funded by surcharges to electric bills) as of recently now require that homes have no backup source of central heat. Disaster is looming.

Lets be clear: atmospheric CO2 is 0.041% of total atmosphere, or about 410ppm. The non-man made portion of that is 0.03968% or 396.8 ppm. The anthropogenic portion is 13.2 ppm or 0.00132%. The Australian contribution to anthropogenic CO2 is 1.3%, which means the total Australian contribution to global CO2 is 0.0000172% of earths atmosphere. Why should my children lose their standard of living over that minuscule amount? Not enough perspective? The atmosphere of Venus is about 96% CO2, but the total increase in temperature from this is only around 2 degrees C.

[@Tengooda]

Your figures on CO2 are completely wrong. In 1750AD, at the start of the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric CO2 stood at around 277ppmv (evidence from multiple ice cores), and had remained close to that level for over 10,000 years. CO2 is presently 421ppmv, an increase of 144ppmv. An increase of 1ppmv requires 7.83 billion tonnes of CO2, so that 144ppmv required an addition of 1,128 b. t. of CO2. Records of fossil fuel burning show that humans emitted 1,848 b.t. CO2 between 1750 and 2021 - more than enough to account for ALL of the increase, with the natural environment absorbing the remainder (ie being a net absorber of CO2) during that time. Thus, the proportion of man-made CO2 in the atmosphere is currently 144/421x100 = 34%. In other words, human activity is entirely responsible for the increase of 144ppmv CO2 from around 277ppmv CO2 in 1750 to 421ppmv now, during which time the natural environment (the oceans and the terrestrial biosphere) have acted as net ABSORBERS of CO2. NASA estimates that the oceans are currently absorbing around 7 billion tonnes of human generated CO2 per year, and the terrestrial biosphere around 11 b.t. CO2 ie natural systems are now, and have been since 1750AD NET absorbers of CO2. Your figures of 0.03968% or 396.8 ppm being non-man-made with the anthropogenic portion being 13.2 ppm or 0.00132% have no validity whatsoever.

Do some research into tree stomas and co2 levels then you’ll understand why the earth is now getting greener.

[@Tengooda]

@@daemon1143 All of the figures I quoted above are from reputable sources (Mauna Loa for recent atmospheric CO2, the Carbon Dioxide Information and Analysis Centre for past emissions, Vostok and other ice cores for past CO2, NASA for the carbon cycle) and all are consistent with peer reviewed science published in scientific journals, which is where , along with an excellent science based education and career, my understanding and knowledge has been obtained. Unfortunately, KZbin no longer allow links to such sources of information, so I am unable to show them. You, on the other hand produce a figure of 13.2ppmv for the anthropogenic contribution to atmospheric CO2, which has no basis in reality, and you will not be able to substantiate it: you are just a typical climate science denier posting nonsense.

John mentioned all the solar panels needing to be replaced after so many years. That is also the case with the blades of the wind turbines. But what wasn't said is the fact that in some cases the wind farms and solar farms are being built on either prime farmland or scenic wilderness. Not to mention the mining of materials needed to make the solar panels. But that's another discussion which has already been made.

It is quite simple to figure out your being lied to. Just do a few simple pieces of mathematics and look at how big the numbers are. Then you know this imposed change won’t happen. Example. Swap to electric vehicles would require swapping 1.450.000.000 cars. Let’s for argument sake say an average car needs a 300 kg battery pack. The electric transition will require 435.000.000 tones of various materials delivered by planet Earth. Not including materials required to change infrastructure. That is when you find out you are being lied to.
