Is that correct?

Yeah, that's exactly right.

Climate realism, basically it recognizes that climate always changes.

It always has.

The only constant about climate is change, and it's a good thing because [laughs] 25,000 years ago, where I was, where I'm living right now, there was two kilometers of ice over our heads and, and nobody was living here, of course.

And all that ice is gone.

So there's climate change.

Zero.

Sorry for the inter- information there.

Yeah, for sure.

Peer review, of course, is when other scientists review a scientist's findings, and they're supposed to be objective.

They're not supposed to be their pals because, in fact, that's what they said, that in many cases peer review is pal review.

Because these scientists all work together, they all have the same mindset, and so they just basically support each other's work.

So what we have to do is even for peer-reviewed research, we cannot accept it as truth.

We just have to accept it as opinion.

Zero.

[laughs]

Because of course these are, these are cyclic events.

You know? We, we see typically 90,000 years of glacial conditions in the north of North America, and certainly into the northern part of the United States, and then only 10 to 20 years of interglacial they call it, and that's a normal cycle, and it's driven largely by dynamics of the Earth's orbit and our tilt and all that sort of thing.

So yeah, if they could stop climate change [laughs] let's prevent the la- the next glacial from coming because it's due sometime in the next few thousand years.

But climate realism looks at real history and, and you know, I would say the scientists who are the most realistic and who would champion climate realism are geologists because geologists look at a much longer timeframe than meteorologists.

Your meteorologist might say, "Oh, you know-

Interesting.

But he said, he said, "If, if they would be going extinct now, then they would have gone extinct," and he points to the graph.

Does anyone get a sense that it's starting to fade and die out?

Yeah, I do.

And in particular, in the United States, because the very fact that they have to change their language and that they can't tell us what it really is.

They can't use ESG and, you know, DEI.

They can't use those terms.

They can't tell us the truth.

They have to find ways around telling us what's real.

You can watch your bills go

Okay

... pathway, RCP8.5. And they had an assumption that we would be seeing world population go to about 12 billion by the year 2100.

We'd see eight times as much coal being used for generating electricity.

[clears throat] Now, it's interesting, back in, let's see, 2019, the Climate Change Reconsidered reports looked at that, and here's what they concluded.

They concluded, in fact, they cite a particular scientist, Dwyeran, his name was, that if they use RCP8.5 by 2100, that would mean there would be n- And these numbers are important because it shows how ludicrous it is.

[clears throat] There would be 930 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Now, today there's about 420.

Please, please continue.

[laughs]

...

he developed something called...

Yeah, he developed something called Rules for Radicals, okay? And this was a book that he ig- he encouraged the left to actually use to take over our institutions, and he had different rules, you know? And in particular, one of them that we like to use is he said that, you know, you have to use ridicule, and you have to attack an individual, not, not an establishment.

You don't wanna talk, attack a university, or you don't wanna talk, a- attack a party.

You attack an individual.

Now, of course, you do it politely.

Please, please continue.

[laughs]

...

And in particular, one of them that we like to use is he said that, you know, you have to use ridicule, and you have to attack an individual, not, not an establishment.

You don't attack, attack a university, or you don't attack a, attack a party, you attack an individual.

Now, of course, you do it politely, you do it with, with sensible facts and figures, but you e- but you basically have to make that individual defend their point of view.

And I, and I'll give you a really good example.

Please, please continue.

Please, please continue.

Yeah, I'm not surprised to hear that West Point didn't have a big change.

You know, a lot of the temperature rise has nothing to do with greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases contribute, but you get a place like Atlanta.

Okay, they call it Hotlanta because from space they can see that it's as much as five degrees warmer than the surrounding countryside because of what's called the urban heat island effect.

So as cities expand, you're going to find a lot of temperature sensing stations are now in the city.

They were previously perhaps in the country.

We love first-time callers.

Okay

... pathway, RCP8.5. And they had an assumption that we would be seeing world population go to about 12 billion by the year 2100.

We'd see eight times as much coal being used for generating electricity.

Now, today there's about 420.

Now, the 930 parts per million is 55% more than the 600 parts per million of CO2 that would, would be generated if we burned all the currently known reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas.

Right

there?

But they go ahead and they say annual average temperature over northern Canada increased by 2.3 degrees C since 1948, and the greatest warming has occurred in the winter.

They go on to say countrywide average annual temperature projections go from anywhere from 1.8 degrees C for low emissions all the way to this 8.5 RCP, which I'm sure your listeners know all about, 6.3, which is sort of an impossible level of emissions because it would require that all the resources, not resources, all the reserves of fossil fuel on Earth are burned, and then you get RCP 8.5. And, you know, it's interesting because they say only the low emissions scenario is consistent with holding the increase in global average temperature to below two degrees C.

Now, you have to ask some basic questions.

This business of average temperature, you know, this is something that is actually a bit of an anomaly.

And the analogy I use is it's a little bit like you had an audience and you said to them, OK, everybody, give me your telephone number.

And I'm going to add them all up, get some number in the trillions, and I'm going to take the average of that number, and I'm going to call that number.

it's a good thing

Now, listen, I know you're, you're a busy man, but can we talk about what an event like Community Through Hoops means for Times Square?

This is fantastic.

It's so great to have the community in Times Square.

We have, uh, the, the organizers playing basketball.

We have the kids.

We have the cops here.

These are the type of events that we need to bring the community, the police together, and it's just a great event.

Yeah

Of course you do [laughs]

... by coincidence, it's called Climate Change Reconsidered II: Fossil Fuels.

And there's a section of that report that deals with RCP8.5, and this came out in 2019, seven years ago, okay? They're now saying and they're now admitting that it was implausible.

But these folks, they actually said this, and again, it's hundreds and hundreds of references.

They said exactly this.

They wrote, "RCP8.5 is an extreme outlier in the climate science literature, assuming abnormally high estimates of world population." They were talking about something in the neighborhood of 12 billion, and we now know it's gonna be more like 9 and a half or 10 billion.

Um, they, they assume an extraordinary energy use and absence of any technological improvements that would lower per capita growth.

[laughs]

Tell us, you know, what was that experience for the Times Square Alliance and the good folks that work with you to basically have these takeovers of nationalities come in and really celebrate their nationalities?

It was really amazing.

And we worked with the city very closely beforehand.

And we never thought that we needed any watch parties in Times Square.

There's plenty to watch in Times Square.

And we sort of just opened up Times Square to the world and the world came out.

And from the amazing Viking audience.

Frankfurter or hot dog?

So you see the emergence of AI, but now we're starting to see the role that the energy sector has to play in empowering that.

I think we're pretty uniquely placed to both win the AI race, but also to reach our net zero goals.

To do so, I think we need to be faster and bolder and more deliberate and think about the problems together in a system thinking kind of way.

And in order to do so, we've got to unleash more energy abundance, cheap renewable energy, and that's going to take policy advancements, it's going to take regulatory change, it's going to require teamwork and cross-industry participation, and it's going to create the incentives for capital to flow into those challenges as well.

I think if we do that, the UK can get on course to deliver both those goals.

What say you?

Well, I don't know anything about that particular discovery, but the water is almost certainly under the pack ice on the moon Europa, which is one of the moons of Jupiter.

In fact, Arthur Clarke wrote, a very good fiction actually called The Sea and the Sky, about astronauts that went to Europa, and they went through the ice into what was, in fact, an under-ice ocean.

And that's what they speculate is going to be found when they actually can get through the ice.

And, you know, if it's actually liquid water, and it very probably is, they say there'll be more water there than on the whole of the Earth.

And it's kept liquid partly because of the tidal forces from Jupiter.

So, yeah, there may be life, who knows, in our own solar system.

How about that voice of whoever's doing

Granger, for the ones who get it done.

Well, you know, that's interesting.

That was an interview with Linnea Lueken, and she was previously a petroleum engineer.

I guess she still is, although she's working for Heartland.

And it turns out the United States, because of fracking, they have come across, of course, vast quantities of oil and natural gas, and the United States now is a net exporter of natural gas, or I should say petroleum in general, and this is because of fracking.

Fracking has been a wonderful, uh, find.

You know, back in Jimmy Carter's day, when you were importing a lot of oil from the Middle East, you know, he put on his sweater and he said, "We all have to conserve energy." But things have massively changed.

Really.

That's amazing.

Yeah, 20% of homes in Europe have air conditioning.

In fact, it's interesting.

I got there and I stayed at an Airbnb.

And they didn't have air conditioning, and it was 31 degrees in my bedroom, which, of course, for a Canadian is pretty hot.

Yeah, that's right.

Being jet-lagged, I guess that's 100 or something.

Really?

And it's only in Times Square that that could actually happen.

So and just.

It really is where the world comes together to play because in between the Norwegians and the yoga, the folks from Senegal came out.

So at one point, the Norwegians put the Norwegian flag up on George M. Cohen.

Oh, no.

And then the Senegalese went up and took it down and put the Senegal flag there.

And it was just such good-spirited fun.

What's the funniest one that's happened to you or you've been part of?

How did you end up here, Tom Harris?

So y- you know, it's all about relationships.

I was a commanding officer of a precinct in the Brook- in Brooklyn.

Someone walked into my office, was looking for help.

I helped them.

Couple years later, they told me about this job.

I said that I was really happy at, in the police department.

Yeah.

Throwback feels like a, a really good word to use to describe him.

Yeah.

I th- I think the reason I used it is because he is, he's...

He loves to drive to the byline, which is something that obviously some wingers like to do in the modern game, but a lot of it's about cutting inside.

I think you, you'll know that as a Liverpool fan with Cody Gakpo.

That's one of his preferred moves, to cut inside onto his right foot from the left.

Muñoz likes to drive to the byline.

Is, is that the, is that the, the CliffsNotes version of this?

[door slamming]

The crime scene where Christa Helm was murdered in 1977, she had left a party in West Hollywood, and she was attacked and stabbed numerous times.

[camera clicking] [film rolling] She was a very good-looking girl.

[upbeat music]

Now what's on your mind, pal? [slaps] [groans]

Back in 1977, Tony Sirico was a upcoming actor, and he knew some of the same people that, uh, Christa knew.

We know that after Christa was killed, Tony Sirico was sent to her residence to check on the welfare and watch over her roommate for a few days, and to make sure that she was okay.

According to the roommate, Tony Sirico removed some tapes out of Christa's room, never to be seen again.

I think that's a very bold statement from the Trump administration on rescinding some of these things to kind of break the shackles and move us into what I think a, a much more prosperous economy, though may- many, many people may disagree with what I just said, but you continue, please.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, Obama is really the origin of the current, uh, craziness around the world of, of climate change because he was a very popular president with the media, and so after he announced this endangerment finding where CO2 was gonna be considered a pollutant and could be controlled under the Clean Air Act, generally speaking, most media just lined up, and they stopped publishing people like myself and Dr. Tim Ball and Ian Clark and Richard Lindzen from MIT.

They just couldn't get published anymore because everybody lined up behind Obama.

And the trouble was this endangerment finding, it made it so that it became much more expensive to make cars, things like coal-fired power.

Coal is one of the greatest energy sources.

It ...

He has lots to add.

Guys, can you remind us of the changes he brought about straight away? The attitude towards him in that first season wi- which, and this surprised me, Tom, it was the only season under Pep where City didn't actually win a trophy.

Yeah.

I mean, there, there were some results in that season.

There was a four-nil defeat to Everton away at Goodison.

There was a five-two, I think it was, against Leicester.

You know, it, it took a while for things to really click for Guardiola.

I, I think straight away there were some big kind of symbolic transfers.

So what do you put it down to over those two campaigns?

Yeah.

We're, we're being, we're being told that we can't use coal.

Now, coal is a wonderful energy source if you properly control the pollution.

You pile up a year's supply of coal on your site, on the power station site, and it's a secure energy source.

You're not w- you know, you're not dependent on a pipeline coming in from outside or trucks.

You know, you have your power source right there.

It's the same as nuclear.

This is fascinating.
