Peter Lemkin Wrote:He is a very interesting and engaging thinker and speaker. He is correct that impacts from space may have played a role in sudden climate changes throughout time at a greater rate than is now generally acknowledged. He is correct that the Earth and the Sun have cycles of warning/cooling that have gone on long before humans burned fossil fuels. However, after listening to him and being very interested and informed on a few things, DO NOT AGREE - IN FACT FIND DANGEROUS his views that aside from pollution, the burning of fossil fuels [and other human activities] are not responsible for the majority [overwhelming majority] of the current climate change! Sorry! I have trained in Environmental Science to the doctoral level, taken courses in climate science, and also have a hobby of reading about and collecting meteors and other impacts from space; and another interest in ancient civilizations. He is conflating some misunderstood and/or under-studied things [such as floods and rapid climate change due to extra-planetary impacts] and the notion that ipso facto humans don't drastically effect the atmosphere, oceans and climate - as well as other factors. Not convinced by that part of his diatribe at all! ::face.palm::
What do you make of this latest video from Corbett, Peter:
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
