Bill Gates recently suggested climate change may not be as significant as previously thought.

And it's obvious because as soon as it becomes apparent, and we maybe didn't cover this enough because it was kind of subtle, but Bill Gates recently said, maybe climate change isn't as big of a deal as we thought it was. Maybe we don't have to go crazy over this climate change thing. Maybe we went a little too hard early on.

Blaming Dubai Airport flooding on climate change is incorrect because the UAE is actively making it rain through geoengineering.

So blaming it on climate change when they are 100% making it rain there all the time is bananas. It's bananas. Like you don't even know what the fucking weather would be like if they didn't do it if they're doing it all the time. If they're doing it all the time, you literally don't have a control group.

The sun accounts for approximately 99.9% of climate effects, not human activity.

When they say man-made climate change is a threat, well, obviously it isn't man-made climate effects and all the real studies that are just basically not even in existence. It's one micron of a percent. It's not even registering. Compared to the sun and other big things that have the main effect on the planet. The sun's like 99.9% of it in the major astrophysics studies.

Headlines claiming Death Valley set a new temperature record are lies because the actual record was set in 1913.

But that's why now, every time there's a particularly hot summer, and this is a hot summer, but you see headlines saying Death Valley record tip 130. And then the record tip is 134 in 1913. Look it up. But they're just lying to you.

Alex Jones remembers extreme heat spells from his childhood that contradict current claims about rising temperatures.

But I have this weird thing called a really good memory, and I remember the temperatures when I was 10 years old and 14. And 13. You know why? Because we had a year of heat spells, and people were dying on the football field during two-a-days, so they canceled the second two-a-day. And I sure loved that year because I only had to play two-a days in the morning and not go back after lunch. And it was exhausting. I remember it being 113, 114 degrees.

Average temperature data shows that temperatures in Dallas and Monahan are substantially higher now than they were in the 1980s.

The highest temperature recorded in Dallas, because that was when he was living in Dallas, in 1984 was 108 on August 19th. In 1988, the highest temperature was 106 on August 23rd. In 2022, the highest temp recorded was 108 in July 20th. And this year, on July 18th, it hit 106. In 2018, it got to 112. Purely looking at maximum and minimum temperatures is a good way to make a headline pop, but it's not really the most reliable way to approach this issue. If you look at average temperatures, it shows a little bit more of the picture. For instance, in 1984, the average temperature in July was 85.5 degrees, whereas in 2022, it was 91.8. The average in June was 82.5 in 1984 compared to 2022's reading of 86.1. Even more stark are the winter numbers. The average for January 1984 was 39.3 degrees compared to January 2023 coming in at 52.1. If you take the whole year into account, the average temperature in 1984 was 65.7 degrees, and in 2022 came in at 68.3.

Human activity and fossil fuel use have saved the Earth from catastrophic CO2 depletion.

I want to talk about how the human race saved life on planet from catastrophic CO2 depletion. All right? Because the planet needs... No, it's true. All the studies showed in the last few million years it was going down to zero, which would kill the plants by us terraforming and literally, like we were put here to do it, bringing up the old fossil fuel and save the Earth.

Climate change causes displacement of people and animals, leading to new diseases.

Long before COVID was known to anyone, there were many people discussing the dynamic that when climates change, it makes some regions uninhabitable, or at least it can, whether by the risk of rising sea levels, diminishing water supply, or some other variable shifting. This leads inevitably to some degree of displacement of people, the extent of which is, you know, left to be seen. Second, when people discuss climate change causing new diseases, they're talking about how changing climate displaces animals as well. And, as that happens, animals who previously would not have been in contact with humans end up contacting humans, and in those cases, there's a possibility for transmission of novel diseases. There's also the matter of rising sea temperatures, making water more hospitable for things like flesh-eating bacteria, but all of it is a discussion surrounding cause-and-effect relationships. Not every new interaction between an animal and a human is going to result in a new disease, but the more that it does happen, the more possibilities there are for new diseases popping up.

Alex Jones falsely equates scientific discussions of climate change with Pat Robertson's moralistic claims.

There's an important difference between these two things that Alex is embarrassingly not understanding, and that is that one is moralistic and the other is descriptive. The conversation about climate change can be something that you can discuss with moral implications, but it can also be a conversation that you have strictly as a matter of X will cause Y, and it still makes sense. Robertson's claims are things that only work as a moral argument, a dumb and flimsy one, but they can't possibly be taken seriously in any other context. There's no way to coherently explain how Planned Parenthood existing causes hurricanes, except if you embrace the worldview that we're living at the whim of a vengeful god who's decided that reproductive health care is immoral and the punishment for immorality is a hurricane. That's the only way that Robertson's shit even makes sense from a grammar standpoint, but the same is not true for the conversations that people have about the side effects of climate change.

The Earth is deficient in carbon dioxide, and God placed fossil fuel reserves underground for humans to burn them at the right time to save the planet.

That it's almost like there's a God that put him here right when the Earth starts losing his atmosphere, which we are. Lowest level of carbon dioxide ever recorded in the last century. A trace gas, not even one-tenth of 1%. And suddenly we find giant supplies of it held within the Earth at the key time to terraform and save the planet.

Climate change narratives are designed to scare people, particularly children, using false information about polar bears.

First, it was the world's going to end in 12 years. Then Beto said 11 after, you know, to outdo AOC. And then that moved on to seven years. And this is the talking points. And then the woman who's one of the organizers admits, oh, we're just scaring people. Yeah, honey, we know. And that's why you target elementary school students and scare the daylights out of them. They teach them penguins are dying. They teach them that they can't swim. The polar bears can't swim. They hunt on the ice floes. They're not drowning. Polar bear numbers are five times what they were in the 50s. But some middle school girls commit suicide because they're taught the earth is so bad.

Global warming is a charade designed to give government more power.

Well, first of all, global warming is a charade, in my view. Yes. Temperatures go up and temperatures go down. God, I hope you die in a forest fire. It's not caused by you and me driving our automobile or hairspray or any of that stuff. This whole global warming thing is a charade, a farce. And what it's designed to do is to give government more power.
