1336: Climate Crisis Special

Climate Complexity, Economic Benefits of Warming

Skeptics argue that the Earth's climate is too complex to be altered by changing a single component like CO2. They point out that there has been no significant warming since 1995 despite rising carbon levels, and that polar bear populations are not vanishing. One speaker suggests that the 0.8-degree rise over the last century has actually improved global health and longevity, calling President Obama "all wet" for his alarmist stance.
