In an interview with ADH TV, Professor and geologist Ian Plimer strongly criticizes the hysteria surrounding ”climate change.”
According to Plimer, there is no climate crisis. Instead, humanity is facing a severe crisis of common sense and honesty.
”No one has ever shown that human carbon dioxide emissions drive global warming,” says Ian Plimer during the interview. ”I have asked scientists, journalists, and politicians: Please, just give me half a dozen scientific studies that prove human emissions drive global warming. No one has ever done that.”
And even if they did, he continues, they would also need to show that the 97 percent of emissions coming from nature do not drive global warming.
Moreover, carbon dioxide can lead to a greener world and better harvests.
The fundamental idea that humans are driving warming, and that we must urgently do something about it, is ”absolutely wrong,” Plimer asserts.
”But okay. Let’s look at the modern warming. How does it compare to earlier warmings? It is not as warm as during the Middle Ages. It is not as warm as during Roman times. It is not as warm as during the Minoan period. It is not as warm as during the peak of the interglacial we are in. In fact, we are in a rather cool period compared to previous warmings. We have no climate crisis. What we have is a crisis of common sense and a crisis of honesty.”
The reason climate alarmists have still managed to scare people is that Western society and its education system have been dumbed down for half a century, according to Plimer.
People no longer learn to think critically. They are indoctrinated by activists.
”We have a society where people can be fed anything, and they will accept it. They lack the tools to resist the nonsense they are being fed.”
According to Ian Plimer, one needs to follow the money and power in this issue. Western education systems have been taken over by leftist activists. Similarly, the bureaucracy is full of leftist activists, he says. Even the media has been lost. Media is now engaged in activism, not journalism, Plimer points out.
