The Greatest Climate Myths and Misperceptions Explained | The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe

Humans are addicted to hysteria, it's so much easier than reasoning.

California had more carbon emitted by one wildfire the other year than they have saved in the last 25 years of reduction in carbon emissions.

Really great interview. As a Boomer who's advocated for nuclear energy my whole adult life, this gives me hope. My parents were Depression Era and I was reminded by them how energy made everyone's life better.

As an engineer, I can say the thing smart people love the most is when someone asks them to find a solution to the ACTUAL problem in a process. This doesn't happen very often because in most cases the people funding the solution either haven't thought about what the problem is 'enough' to identify it or don't understand the process they are trying to fix and so they can't point to the problem in it. Most managers are far too quick to run off to a 'solution' for something obvious without taking the time to identify the actual problem. The result, in general, is that the process becomes more complicated. The incorrectly identified 'problem' most likely gets fixed, but it likely causes more problems in other areas. When you fix the actual problem it results in other problems being fixed, not more problems being caused.

Cheap and abundant energy is the most effective tool for lifting people out of poverty. The other important thing is having protected private property rights.

I'm a 58 year old Brit, when i was a child we used to freeze every winter, no central heating, no double glazing, no insulation, no duvets, totally reliant on wood/coal burning fires for warmth, by the 90s virtually every home in UK had gas central heating, plastic double glazing, insulation, duvets and energy cheap enough that even the poorest could be warm in winter, now in Uk because of net zero, energy is so expensive people are using wood/coal fires again and the poor and elderly just freeze.

I've always said that the Earth will do whatever the hell it wants to contrary to whatever wishes humankind has for it. There's not a single thing that mankind could've done to stop, prevent, or end the last ice age. Abundant energy is the only thing that can end crushing poverty and lift humans to be in-tune with their environment.

Retired Engineer, I always told my co-workers that the goal is to be right not to make people happy. If you make people happy but you're wrong then you're not valuable. FWIW I never made management. LOL

Years ago... I’d ask a person negatively addressing fossil fuels that I worked in and they enjoyed... ‘what are you willing to give up? Then I’d shift the discussion to their industry or lifestyle. Works every time as we all can educate ourselves
