Carl Sagan testifying before Congress in 1985 on climate change

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The video below popped on YouTube. Watch carefully from 3 mins 20 seconds or so, this is where he launched (or re-launched) the Big Climate Lie.

Note how Sagan constantly refers to “Earth’s surface”, not mentioning clouds. By implication, he is including clouds when considering solar radiation absorbed (or else his calculation wouldn’t give the answer of about 30 degrees), so the obvious next question would be “Do clouds and cloud free ocean/land surface, in total, radiate upwards the same amount as they absorb in solar radiation?”, as a reality check if nothing else, to which the answer is a resounding “Yes.”

Sagan neatly sidesteps this obvious question, and at 4 mins 20, launches into an alternative reality where clouds don’t exist, and the solar radiation absorbed by clouds and oceans/land is all directly absorbed by the land/oceans. On this basis, he is mathematically correct in saying that land/oceans would be about 30 degrees cooler than they are (the accepted figure nowadays is 33 degrees). James Hansen explained the calculation in more detail in 1988, three years later.

[Enjoy the cutaway shots of Al Gore with dollar signs rolling in front of his eyes.]

At 4 mins 30 Sagan concludes, “And why is it too low… it’s too low because something was left out of the calculation. What was left out of the calculation..?”

An attentive listener would have screamed, “The clouds, you moron!”, but nope.

Sagan of course trots out his preferred answer: The Greenhouse Effect” and then waffles on about CO2 trapping heat and all that nonsense.

      War And volcanic action don’t affect the amount of bullshit in a given period. Bill gates would build upon an ice age, with his retardation. Rain is the cleaner of our atmosphere. Now laden with heavy metals induced by chemtrails. The real manipulation is the capability of heating the ionosphere. and moving weather patterns. Science is the problem , due to political skullduggery. Coal can burn reasonably clean as well.
