| Caltech. | |
| One of the only human beings who actually read the UN report, I might add. | |
| That's a kudu. | |
| That's a feather in your cap. | |
| So I asked you, and I'm very, very curious. | |
| I'm sure my listeners are. | |
| So according to the UN report, what is the prediction of temperature increase if nothing is done? | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, you know, Temperature increase by the end of the century, let's say 2100 compared to what it is today, depends both on what emissions happen going forward and also how good the models are. | |
| But to kind of cut to the chase, a good number is that we would warm by an additional 1.6 degrees centigrade compared to where we are now for the global average temperature. | |
| Is that a big number? | |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
| If nothing happens or if we do draconian things? | |
| No, no, that's more or less current policies. | |
| Well, current policies are that by 2030 or whatever year they pick, we will be carbon neutral. | |
| No, no, that they have not enacted that policy. | |
| That's a proposal. | |
| You probably well know, and it's not obvious that that's going to come about. | |
| And, look, anyway, the U.S. is only 13% of emissions, so it hardly depends on what we do. | |
| Much more important, what China and India and the rest of the developing world are going to do. | |
| Well, Indy is among those who says, give us $100 billion, or is it a billion? | |
| What is it? | |
| $100 billion a year. | |
| $100 billion a year. | |
| That's from all of the developing world. | |
| But that tension has been there forever. | |
| Yes, and I side with the third world. | |
| We got rich on fossil fuel, and you guys have to use sun power. | |
| Right. | |
| That's eco-colonialism, right? | |
| It's despicable. | |
| Yes. | |
| There you go. | |
| I agree. | |
| Anyway, let me tell everybody, your book is Unsettled. | |
| What climate science tells us what it doesn't and why it matters, and the video summarizing all of this is up at PragerU, and that is, is there really a climate emergency? | |
| It's an honor to speak to you, Stephen Koonin. | |
| Great chatting with you, Dennis. | |
| Thank you. |
