As the COP26 climate summit gets under way in the Scottish city of Glasgow amid projections of an apocalyptic future if drastic changes are not made, climate change sceptics still make statements like “global warming is caused by the sun" and “there is no scientific consensus”. FRANCE 24 spoke to climatologist Hervé Le Treut, who deconstructed these falsehoods.
True or false? “The climate has changed before so it’s not a big deal”
We’ve had a stable climate for 10,000 years. So we’re specifically trying to protect the climatic conditions that have allowed humanity to develop during this period. The question is whether or not we want to continue with the climate that has allowed human civilisation to emerge.
True or false? “The sun causes global warming”
This idea has been repeatedly shown to be untrue. The sun’s radiation does indeed fluctuate, with sunspots varying in their levels of activity. But these changes in the sun’s radiation can’t account for the increase in temperatures we’ve seen over the past decades. The notion is impossible to defend scientifically.
True or false? “The situation isn’t all that serious; the IPCC is far too alarmist”
The IPCC report was produced by the unanimous agreement of every country signed up to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. That’s a lot of countries [197, to be precise].
So there’s very strong unanimity, which makes it difficult to accuse the IPCC of saying anything incorrect.
True or false? “People, animals and plants will be able to just adapt’
There’s a lot of documentation pointing to how so much biodiversity is disappearing – often related to environmentally unfriendly forms of agriculture in addition to greenhouse gas emissions.
So it’s quite clear from the evidence we’re seeing today that the adaptation of species is not happening.

A lot of false logic in those idiotic statements.
Maybe they can correctly propagandize the next generation, but they lost mine when they told us in the 1970s to expect another Ice Age.
Claiming that the same increase in man-made gases are now going to cause over-heating just isn’t going to fly no matter how loud they shout it.
No critical thinking by this clim-idiots part.
Wow - what an incredible amount of disinformation in this article. Why, it practically drips of propaganda instead of actual information.
Why republish nonsense?
Don’t criticize the new religion.
“We’ve had a stable climate for 10,000 years. So we’re specifically trying to protect the climatic conditions that have allowed humanity to develop during this period. The question is whether or not we want to continue with the climate that has allowed human civilisation to emerge.”
Then you should encourage warming, to avert another ice age (which is coming eventually, despite anything humans do in the meantime).
Every time the Warmists come out with another lie "Worst <whatever> ever!" he comes up with hard rebuttals, frequently with actual newspaper clippings documenting that 50 or 100 or 150 years ago <whatever> was far worse.
Is this entire article propaganda BS — T or F. True. It is nothing more than BS and propaganda.
The CIMP6 ‘model is so flawed in so many ways as to be a joke.
It IS NOT just *solar irradiance*. The model ignores well documented effects of so-called cosmic radiation, the effect of the weakened geomagnetic field and a host of other factors solar related.
Yes pollution is bad.
Is man-made CO2 a planet killer? Not in the least. In one of those Believe it or Not moments, people will come to realize the earth is cooling.
What is a watermelon?
A politician that is green outside and Socialist Red on the inside.
One need only look at the **mass of private jets** used to take the pols to the latest ‘climate confab’.
Denials and conclusions. And “a lot of people agree”. No facts that aren’t just opinions. My favorite question that I never asked is if the science is so strong, why is so much data falsified? And why is so much political pressure exerted on science to comply with the narrative? Is that conducive to finding the truth?
Some people are more important to themselves as others.
“We’ve had a stable climate for 10,000 years.”
The earth was coming out of the last glaciation. Humanity was just crossing from Asia to North America via the Bering land bridge between what is now Russia and Alaska. Doggerland connecting England with continental Europe still existed.
This guy is froggy charlatan!
Artic ice borings in the last decade show that the earth's "climate" has changed continuesly for 2 million years.... temps up, down, up, down, up, down..... where the hell were the cars???
FRANCE 24 spoke to climatologist Hervé Le Treut, who deconstructed these falsehoods …That’s like speaking to an alchemist who would “deconstruct” the “falsehoods” of the reality of not being able to transmute lead into gold. Argumentum ad verecundiam and worse than that.
As the COP26 climate summit gets under way in the Scottish city of Glasgow amid projections of an apocalyptic future if drastic changes are not made, climate change sceptics still make statements like “global warming is caused by the sun” and “there is no scientific consensus”. FRANCE 24 spoke to climatologist Hervé Le Treut, who deconstructed these falsehoods. ————————————————— Earth’s temperatures are 100% determined by the incident solar radiation. This is an experiment that we run pretty much a daily basis. Less solar radiation and it gets colder - happens every night and every winter. That anyone could make such a stupid statement that who professes to believe that the Earth’s temperature is controlled by the sun’s output is a “climate change skeptic” is so absurd it’s hard to believe they could be taken seriously - yet they are. These climate jihad people are completely irrational and cannot be reasoned with and the people that listen to them and believe are dangerously stupid
They are sort of admitting that they are the ones trying to change the climate. They admit that the climate naturally changes. It has only been around this warm for 10,000 years and they want to keep it this way. So very odd. All these naturalists trying to screw with the very climate. None of it makes sense other than that they don’t care whatsoever. They are just using viruses and climate change to create a unigovernment that controls business, energy, people and governments.
Many false statements, made BY a climate change activist PRTENDING to write claims made by those who he claims are “science deniers” = Only propaganda.
“Then you should encourage warming, to avert another ice age (which is coming eventually, despite anything humans do in the meantime)”.
What you don’t see in the msm.
Oct 2, 2021, ending the long, dark Southern Hemisphere winter. ... the coldest average temperature for April to September in 2021 on record...
South Pole posts most severe cold season on record, a surprise in a warming world
While the rest of the world sizzled, the South Pole shivered with an average temperature of minus-78 degrees over the past six months.
Global warming is caused by the sun. That’s a lie? Any idiot can tell it is warmer in the day than at night. It really goes to show that climate change believers have to bend their brains around all different ways to support their positions. They ridicule Christians for believing in an omnipotent God but then have their own dogmas about carbon dioxide and scientists.
