Did I get it COMPLETELY wrong last week??

From Just Have a Think.

In a video I posted on YouTube on Sunday 11th May 2025, I looked at a research paper challenging the established consensus climate science with specific regard to Greenhouse Gas accounting. In retrospect, that video failed to provide a properly balanced explanation of WHY the established consensus climate science works the way it does. This video is an attempt to rectify that oversight.

Note : The links below are offered without prejudice. I have no skin in the game here. Nobody is paying me or coercing me to favour one point of view or another. A statistician would no doubt err towards the consensus view, and they would quite likely be right to do so. But scientific debate is, and always has been, a crucial factor in the advancement of human knowledge, so there is a smorgasbord of information here representing various points of view. There is however NO disagreement in ANY of the peer reviewed literature about the causes of our atmospheric warming. It is HUMAN INDUCED. 100% certain. Unequivocal. Beyond doubt. Settled Science!
