,Is climate change an existential crisis? Judith Curry, former Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has spent her career studying this question. Her answer might surprise you. Become a member of this channel to support PragerU: https://l.prageru.com/3QUqK4q ? Download the FREE PragerU app: https://prageru.onelink.me/3bas/vgyxvm79 Script: Let’s start with the good news. All things considered, planet Earth is doing fine. In fact, humans are doing better than at any other time in history. Over the last hundred years, when temperatures have warmed by about two degrees Fahrenheit: Global population has increased by 6 billion people… While Global poverty has substantially declined. And the number of people killed from weather disasters has decreased by 97% on a per capita basis. We are obviously not facing an existential crisis. Anyone who tells you that we are is not paying attention to the historical data. Instead, they are concerned about what “might” happen in the future, based on predictions from inadequate climate models, driven by unrealistic assumptions. I offer this positive diagnosis after a lifetime of study on the issue. Until recently, I was a professor of climate science and Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. But it’s not all good news. The biggest problem with climate change is not climate change, per se, it’s how we’re dealing with it. We’re attempting to control the uncontrollable, at great cost, by urgently eliminating fossil fuels. We’ve failed to properly place the risks from climate change in context of other challenges the world is facing. Climate change has become a convenient scapegoat. As a result, we’re neglecting the real causes of these problems. There are countless examples, but let me give you just one. Lake Chad in Africa is shrinking. Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari blames it on you-know-what. “Climate change,” he pronounced, “is largely responsible for the drying up of Lake Chad…” But it’s not. Yes, the initial water level decline was caused by long droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. But the lake has remained virtually empty over the past two decades, even while rainfall has recovered. During this time, rivers flowing into the lake from Cameroon, Chad, and Nigeria have been diverted by government agencies to irrigate inefficient rice farms. In short, climate change has little to do with the declining water level of Lake Chad. Instead, bad human decisions are the cause. Climate Change is just a convenient excuse, hiding poor management and governance. Blaming every major weather disaster on man-made global warming defies common sense, as well as the historical data record. For the past 50 years, the global climate has been fairly benign. In the US, the worst heat waves, droughts, and hurricane landfalls occurred in the 1930s—much worse than anything we’ve experienced so far in the 21st century. Population growth, where and how people live, and how governments manage resources are much more likely to create conditions for a disaster than the climate itself. We’ve always had hurricanes, droughts, and floods, and we always will. Maybe you think I’m being too cavalier about the dangers we face. Isn’t it true that 97% of scientists agree that humans are causing dangerous climate change? See the rest: https://l.prageru.com/43UtFAn Follow PragerU on social media!

,SUBSCRIBE ? https://www.prageru.com/join We used to trust the mainstream media. They reported the facts and let us make our own decisions about the issues of the day. But that’s no longer the case. What changed and why? Investigative Journalist Ashley Rindsberg has the disturbing answers. Script: If credibility is the lifeblood of journalism, the mainstream media is dead. It wasn’t killed by competition from the Internet. It committed suicide. We know the approximate date of its demise. 2016. We know the cause. The abandonment of objectivity. We even know the method of the suicide: the full participation in a conspiracy to destroy a political candidate and then, ultimately, his presidency. This is not only my judgment, it’s the judgment of the most prestigious publication in the field of journalism, the Columbia Journalism Review. In January of 2023, the Review published a twenty-six-thousand-word, four-part investigation into the conspiracy commonly known as Russiagate. It was written by Jeff Gerth, a highly regarded, former New York Times reporter with decades of experience. Gerth concluded that virtually every major claim in the Russiagate narrative was false. Let’s step back and consider what this means. For some five years, the mainstream media—the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN—fed a grotesque lie to the public: that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to subvert an American election. We’re talking about dozens of news organizations and hundreds of reporters working in concert to spread fictitious claims in thousands upon thousands of news articles, TV segments, podcasts, and opinion pieces. Given Gerth’s reputation and that of the Columbia Journalism Review, the article should have been front-page news and led every TV news program. It didn’t. Given Gerth’s conclusions, you would expect the media would engage in serious soul-searching. It didn’t. The media that acted as the stenographer of the conspiracy simply ignored Gerth’s report. In short, they lied and then covered up their lies with silence. Even Gerth, a veteran newsman, was shocked. Only about a dozen out of the sixty journalists he reached out to spoke to him. As Gerth describes it, “...not a single major news organization made available a newsroom leader to talk about their coverage.” One can only wonder what these “newsroom leaders” would have told him. The picture that emerges from Gerth’s investigation is a morass of malfeasance, greased by naked ambition and ideological bias. This list of offenses is so voluminous, and so far outside the lanes of accepted journalistic practice, that they’re hard to keep track of. Here are just a few. The so-called “Steele Dossier” with its lurid accusations that Donald Trump had close ties to Vladimir Putin and Russian intelligence was a collection of unsourced fabrications, cut and pasted together by a Trump-hating former British spy working for and paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was complete fiction. The story that the Trump Organization was secretly connected to computers at a Russian financial institution called Alfa-Bank: another complete fiction, this one concocted by Clinton campaign lawyers. The accusation that Carter Page and George Papadopoulos, early and peripheral foreign policy advisors to the Trump campaign, were Russian agents. Complete fiction. Maybe even worse was how these fictions were often peddled to the public. Working with the FBI (or some other government entity), the media would publish an accusation of Trump-Russia collusion. The FBI would then look into the story; the media would report the FBI’s curiosity and suggest that if the FBI was interested there must be something to it.

,Imagine you dedicated your life to environmentalism and all of its assumptions. Then imagine you realize those assumptions are all wrong. What would you do? Entrepreneur Brian Gitt tells his personal story and where it led him. SUBSCRIBE ? https://www.prageru.com/join #environment #environmental #prageru Script: Just because you feel like you’re doing the right thing doesn’t mean you are. I have dedicated most of my life to protecting the environment. But I went about it the wrong way. I thought I was acting morally, protecting the well-being of people and the planet. In fact, I was harming both. I believed solar and wind power were the future—our only hope of avoiding environmental catastrophe. Fossil fuels were the enemy, extracted from the earth by greedy companies plundering the land, polluting the air, and destroying ecosystems. Keeping the wilderness as pristine as possible was my passion. Ever since I was a teenager, I loved the outdoors. I led mountaineering expeditions in Alaska, spent months backpacking in the Rockies, and climbed the highest peaks in national parks. I only took jobs that I thought would protect the environment. I started a company that built composting systems for cities and businesses. I served as executive director of an organization that championed green construction policies. And then I became CEO of a consulting firm that worked on making homes more energy efficient. At that time, the Obama administration had earmarked billions of dollars in federal funding to create jobs in the energy sector, and my company won multi-year contracts valued at over $60 million. I thought I was making a real difference in the world. I was surrounded by smart, successful, ambitious people who shared my beliefs and my heartfelt desire to change things. And my company had lots of money and lots of government support. There was only one problem: our project to build more energy-efficient homes was an utter failure. Making home energy improvements was much too expensive for middle-class families—even with generous government subsidies. Wealthy families, by contrast, loved the program. They got subsidies they didn’t need and the environmental cred they craved. In reality, though, we weren’t achieving much of anything—except wasting taxpayer money. That’s not how the government saw it. The government celebrated the project as a big win. It was a great photo op for politicians. But I knew the program didn’t deliver the jobs and energy savings we had promised. Maybe I should have accepted the props and kept doing what I was doing. But I couldn’t. I began re-examining everything I had believed about energy and the environment. It didn’t take me long to realize that I had been living in a fantasy world: perfectly fine for making me feel good about myself and my mission, but perfectly useless for making real environmental change. The more research I did, the more I realized that my project was just a symptom of a much bigger problem. We’re wasting trillions of dollars on the false hope that wind and solar power are going to replace fossil fuels—oil, coal, and natural gas. Yet over the last 20 years, the world’s dependence on these fuels has declined by only three percentage points—from 87% to 84%. That’s a pathetic return on our “investment.” If we’re serious about confronting climate change, protecting the environment, and helping people climb out of energy poverty around the world, we need to stop chasing fantasies. Instead, it’s time to honestly examine all the costs and all the benefits of every energy source—wind, solar, oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear. Greenhouse gas emissions are a concern but not the only thing we need to consider when discussing energy and the environment. Here are five principles to help us evaluate the best energy options to protect both people and the planet. One. Reliability: A reliable energy source provides power 24/7/365. States and countries that have doubled down on renewable sources face energy rationing and power blackouts. Two. Affordability: The cost of energy affects the cost of everything else. If energy isn’t affordable, ordinary people can’t heat and cool their homes, and businesses can’t make the products we want and need.

,Built into the foundation of free enterprise is a promise. It's a promise that no other economic system offers. This promise has a great deal to do with your sense of well-being, that is, your happiness. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton understood this. So does renowned social scientist, Arthur Brooks. In five minutes, he explains how happiness and free enterprise are marvelously entwined. ?

For just about everyone it would have to do with making money. But there’s another side to free enterprise that’s actually more important. Free enterprise matters not just because of its unparalleled material benefits, but because of its unparalleled moral benefits. Now, this might seem counterintuitive to you, especially if you’ve been spending a lot of time hanging around college professors. For decades, so many of them have preached that free enterprise is mostly about selfishness and greed. But after the fall of the Soviet Union, and communism was repudiated, even the left grudgingly acknowledged the utility of free enterprise -- but only as a necessary evil. Sure, they said, free enterprise benefits us materially. But the cost isn’t worth it. People become too materialistic, corporations become too powerful, profits are corrupting, and there’s just too much material inequality. Is that a fair assessment? No, it isn’t. And here’s why: free enterprise is not just materially fulfilling, it’s a moral imperative. One big reason is that only free enterprise enables us to become truly happy -- because it enables us to earn our success. Now what do I mean by this? Earned success is the satisfaction and happiness that we derive from having dreams and working hard to achieve them. This is only possible in a system where rewards are based on earning them rather than having the right connections, and where you have to please customers and not politicians. Think about the things in your life that make you happy. It’s probably your personal relationships, your family, and maybe your job; in other words, the things that represent hard work and personal virtue and achievement. Sure, we all want nice things. But if they are just given to us, if we don’t earn them, they don’t really make us happy. You’ve probably thought what you’d do if you won the lottery, right? We’ve all played that game. Maybe you say you’d buy a big house, a new wardrobe, or take a great trip around the world. Maybe you’d do it all! The truth is, according to studies from researchers at the University of Michigan, you’re actually more likely to be less happy after you win than before you bought the ticket. People who win the lottery typically buy a bunch of stuff they don’t want, get new friends, some even become alcoholics. This hardly makes for a great Powerball ad campaign, but it’s the truth. Why is this? For the same reason that your parents probably always taught you: that money doesn’t buy happiness. Still, critics on the left tell us that if we only had more equal incomes we’d be a happier society. That’s just not true. Happiness is earned, not given by others. Look at entrepreneurs. People who own their own businesses rate themselves as happier than just about any other job category. And why? What’s their secret?
