The Good News about Climate Change | 5-Minute Videos
Is climate change an existential crisis? Judith Curry, former Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has spent her career studying this question. Her answer might surprise you.

Script:
Let’s start with the good news.
All things considered, planet Earth is doing fine. In fact, humans are doing better than at any other time in history. Over the last hundred years, when temperatures have warmed by about two degrees Fahrenheit:
Global population has increased by 6 billion people…
While Global poverty has substantially declined.
And the number of people killed from weather disasters has decreased by 97% on a per capita basis.
We are obviously not facing an existential crisis.
Anyone who tells you that we are is not paying attention to the historical data. Instead, they are concerned about what “might” happen in the future, based on predictions from inadequate climate models, driven by unrealistic assumptions.
I offer this positive diagnosis after a lifetime of study on the issue. Until recently, I was a professor of climate science and Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
But it’s not all good news.
The biggest problem with climate change is not climate change, per se, it’s how we’re dealing with it.
We’re attempting to control the uncontrollable, at great cost, by urgently eliminating fossil fuels. We’ve failed to properly place the risks from climate change in context of other challenges the world is facing.
Climate change has become a convenient scapegoat. As a result, we’re neglecting the real causes of these problems.
There are countless examples, but let me give you just one.
Lake Chad in Africa is shrinking. Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari blames it on you-know-what. “Climate change,” he pronounced, “is largely responsible for the drying up of Lake Chad…”
But it’s not.
Yes, the initial water level decline was caused by long droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. But the lake has remained virtually empty over the past two decades, even while rainfall has recovered. During this time, rivers flowing into the lake from Cameroon, Chad, and Nigeria have been diverted by government agencies to irrigate inefficient rice farms.
In short, climate change has little to do with the declining water level of Lake Chad. Instead, bad human decisions are the cause. Climate Change is just a convenient excuse, hiding poor management and governance.
Blaming every major weather disaster on man-made global warming defies common sense, as well as the historical data record.
For the past 50 years, the global climate has been fairly benign. In the US, the worst heat waves, droughts, and hurricane landfalls occurred in the 1930s—much worse than anything we’ve experienced so far in the 21st century.
Population growth, where and how people live, and how governments manage resources are much more likely to create conditions for a disaster than the climate itself. We’ve always had hurricanes, droughts, and floods, and we always will.
Maybe you think I’m being too cavalier about the dangers we face. Isn’t it true that 97% of scientists agree that humans are causing dangerous climate change?

NewsGuard: Fact-Checkers with Too Much Power
Have you heard of NewsGuard? Its mission is to “counter misinformation on behalf of readers, brands, and democracies.” In other words, it “guards” the news by telling you what you can and cannot trust. Of course, this begs the question: can you trust NewGuard?

Good news!
Thinking for yourself is no longer necessary.
The new heroes of the Internet will do it for you—companies you’ve never heard of, but who are watching out for your best interests.
Meet one of them.
They call themselves NewsGuard.
A perfect name.
Because that’s what they do.
They “guard” the news.
They make sure you only get the good stuff.
The stuff you can trust.
Best of all, NewsGuard is backed by Big Pharma, Big Tech, the teachers' unions, and even the government.
So, if Newsguard says something isn’t safe to read, you know you should scroll on.
I mean, if you can’t trust the government who can you trust?
Wait … you don’t like what I just described?
Sounds more like a nightmare than the world you want to live in?
You like to do your own thinking?
You’re perfectly capable of figuring out which sources are credible, and which aren’t.
That, you say, is the right and obligation of a free citizen in a free country.
If so, welcome to my world.
I’m the CEO of PragerU.
We’re fighting against companies like NewsGuard every day.
We didn’t pick the fight.
They did.
We have our own take on the events of the day and on the events of yesterday.
We’re happy to have you make your own judgment on whether we’ve got it right or whether we’ve got it wrong.
But there are many organizations that don’t have that attitude.
Like the aforementioned NewsGuard.
Let’s look a little more into this company which, by the way, is a for-profit enterprise. PragerU is a 501c3, a non-profit. We’re big fans of profit. Profit makes the world go round. But if your business is, say, promoting COVID vaccine efficacy, and your biggest client is the public relations firm for Pfizer, it’s fair to ask whether you would be completely unbiased when judging a story questioning the safety of COVID vaccines.
But that doesn’t trouble NewsGuard.
They’re convinced their judgments are free from any taint.
Just ask them.
They’ll tell you.
But who are “they”?
Their co-founder and CEO is a Democratic party loyalist. He’s on record dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop as likely a “hoax . . . maybe even . . . perpetrated by the Russians.” The NewsGuard staff, not surprisingly, is mostly comprised of left-leaning activists and ex-journalists.
And guess who they don’t like?
Yeah, they really don’t like PragerU, The Daily Wire, Breitbart, The Federalist, and other news and opinion sources that are not on the left.
But let’s not be too harsh. If you stray from NewGuard’s way of seeing things, they will give you a chance to redeem yourself.

Israel: Who Are the Indigenous People?
SUBSCRIBE 👉 https://www.prageru.com/join
The Land of Israel has changed hands many times over the centuries. But it has always been the homeland of one particular people. Noa Tishby, author of Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth, explains.
Script:
When we think about indigenous people, we think about their deep roots and longstanding connections to the land they inhabit, often spanning centuries or even millennia.
For example, the Chinese are from China, the Egyptians are from Egypt, and the Indians are from India. But what about the Jews? Well, the Jews are from Judea, the modern-day land of Israel, where Jewish heritage stretches back over 3,000 years.
And like other indigenous people, the connection to the Jewish homeland is an integral part of the Jewish identity. Judaism is not just a religion, but the Jews are also a people with strong ties to the place from which they originated, the ancient land of Israel.
The practice of Judaism is directly connected to that land. It celebrates holidays like the harvest time and has prayers that are tied to the seasons in the Land of Israel.
Seven crop species, including olives, grapes, wheat, and barley, are cherished in Jewish symbolism because they represent Israel, the "Land Flowing with Milk and Honey."
For centuries, Jews have been saying L'Shana Haba'ah B'Yerushalayim, or “Next Year in Jerusalem,” never forgetting their connection to the Land of Israel.
But don’t take just my word for it. Historians and archeologists point to artifacts and historical writings that prove the connection between the land of Israel and the Jewish people.
Hebrew inscriptions have been found on thousands of artifacts dating as far back as the 6th century BC. Hebrew is my mother’s tongue and I can read those inscriptions. In addition to Jewish sources, an Egyptian document dating to approximately 1200 BC mentions a campaign in which an Egyptian ruler says he has defeated Israel.
“Israel is no more,” the document reads, probably the worst prophecy ever made about the Jews, since you know, I’m still here.
The Hebrew Bible is of course much more than a book of history, but there’s a lot of verified history in it. The fact that Jerusalem is mentioned 669 times in its pages confirms that the city is central to the Jewish identity.
Politically, the land of Israel swapped hands for thousands of years, but it was never anything other than a sovereign Jewish state.
Let me say that again: the only sovereign state that ever existed in the Land of Israel— forever—is a Jewish state.
The Jewish people have formed three nation-states in the Land of Israel throughout history. The first was the First Commonwealth, ruled by the House of David, and it lasted for more than four centuries. Israel was united by King David, and Jerusalem was the capital of that Jewish state. The First Temple built by King Solomon was a huge source of Jewish pride.
Then the Babylonians conquered the land, exiling most of the Jewish residents to Babylon. In 539 BC, Persia’s King Cyrus conquered Babylon and issued the Cyrus Decree, allowing the Jews to return to Israel, and many did. They rebuilt the country, including the Second Temple in Jerusalem on the site of the destroyed First Temple. Its Western Wall is still standing and today it is one of the holiest sites of the Jewish people.
