Nobel Laureate in Physics; "Global Warming is Pseudoscience" (video - Prof Ivar Giaever)
You Tube ^ | Professor Ivar Giaever

Posted on 11/28/2018 12:58:40 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Video Link - 31:38 in length.

The professor thinks global warming is pseudoscience and a religion. This speech is hilarious and provides some great ammunition in case one ever has an argument with a global warming believer.

Here's an example of the Professor's humor...

[According to a global warming study] Body size shrinks because of global warming.

The shrinking victims, according to the study, included cotton, corn, strawberries, bay scallops, shrimp, crayfish, carp, Atlantic salmon, herring, frogs, toads, iguanas, hooded robins, red-billed gulls, California squirrels, lynx, and wood rats.

Unfortunately, this does not apply to people.

My observation is that people get bigger because of global warming.

He must have included Al Gore in his observations.

I’m pretty sure the Klitchko (I think i spelled it right) were quite brilliant in their own right, besides holding the heavyweight belts for a very long time.

Vladimir actually held the belts a long time but the other brother had a much stronger chin.

He decided to head the political route in Ukraine though I do not think he won any office.

I read Dolph Lundgren has an extremely high IQ.

The professor calls global warming pseudoscience because the scientists who study global warming start out with a premise and then look for evidence to prove the premise is true.

Real science would set out to find the truth, not to prove a premise.

I am glad you explained that much of your post.
Still trying to understand the connection!

And the purveyors of the pseudoscience are ‘Climate Scientologists’.

It seems like all the global warming theories seem to omit on variable, the sun. Solar output is not constant and has far more impact on climate than molecular level changes in CO2 levels. We are now entering a well documented Maunder Minimum in solar activity that historically has produced near Ice Age conditions. We are facing significant global cooling and no treaty, carbon sequestering or reduction in fossil fuel use can have any impact to slow or stop the cooling anymore than King Knute could stop the tides.

“I am glad you explained that much of your post.

I was responding to the post by dp0622 who wasn’t sure that one of the Klitschko brothers had been successful in politics. As far as the relevance or connection to the original post, I assume it runs something like this: Dolph Lundgren, who played the role of Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, is better educated and presumably more qualified to discuss climate change than Bill Nye (the “science” guy), the real-life Russian boxers, the brothers Klitschko, are even better educated than both Lundgren and Nye, and are perhaps even more qualified than Nye to comment on climate science.

Yes, it’s convoluted and reminds me of the conversations I sometimes have with a good friend which might start out discussing college football and within five minutes are deep into economic theory!

A recent demographic study concluded that even moderately cold weather produced a human mortality rate 20 times higher than hot weather. And that is just a short term “cold spell”.

A solar minimum approaching Maunder Minimum levels for 70 years could right now result in tremendous loss of life: first from the cold itself, second, from famine, and third from deficiency and pulmonary diseases. Ideal conditions for transmitting disease by sneezing and coughing are 40F with low humidity.

“A solar minimum approaching Maunder Minimum levels for 70 years could right now result in tremendous loss of life”

There was a post a couple of days ago chronicling some woman Physicist with a Slavic who studies the magnetic fields accompanying the Sun, who says we may be in for as much as 400 years of cold weather based on what she sees happening with the Sun starting as soon as 2020.

The climate hoax goes back to the EPA. The poisonous strategy to politically “Weaponise” federal departments worked its way through them all -education, internal revenue, immigration, defense, FBI, CIA.
