Tony Heller presents a short video arguing that climate science relies on data truncation, cherry-picking and selective presentation of statistics. It is a one-sided polemic against mainstream climate claims.

Shared by climate-skeptic commenters as a counter-argument to alarmist statistics, a contested source rather than consensus.

@revelio2023 · in “IPCC climate crisis report delivers ‘final warning on 1.5C’”

It's honest. You can just click through the stories to see for yourself. Of course you can try to find one you feel is weak, cherry pick it and then try to dismiss all the others, but all those false predictions are still there and won't go away. W.R.T. the one you picked, the extinctionclock assessment is correct. The claims being made are about "deaths, hospital admissions and mental health disorders, dengue fever and gastroenteritis". Deaths from extreme weather are down drastically over time. Very unclear why they predicted a rise in mental health disorders from climate change, but nobody outside the most extremist climate change fanatics are trying to claim a link there. Contemporary discussion about mental health problems focus on the effect of social media on teen girls. Dengue fever in Australia is also trending down (figure 8 here link ). I didn't bother checking gastroenteritis. Finally, wildfires - not mentioned in the actual paragraph you cited. Here is a graph of wildfires in Australia over time. link 2019 and 2020 were abnormal years for Australian wildfires. As you can see, 2021 reverted to the mean which is stable. There is no increasing trend in wildfires, just a couple of bad years that the media cherry-picked to try and make you think the world is burning. You have to be so careful when listening to climatologists, because they love to engage in data truncation and cherry picking to make deceptive claims. This video shows the problem, and I linked you d

I have been worried about climate change my entire life. I doom scroll news stories that show the coming disaster. Recently, I stumbled onto this video [1] and have trouble refuting the data and claims. Any experts that can explain what am I missing and why is this guy wrong? [1] ▶ this video

@olivermarks2021 · in “Coldest inhabited place on Earth is baking in record heat”

Climate alarmists have a poor reputation around data manipulation as this short video discussing the recent US climate assessment unpacks. link ▶ this video 11 year solar cycles are a split second moment in time in comparison to the longer term data which is so often cherry picked and truncated to illustrate various agendas, whether dishonest globalist energy corporate entities or climate alarmists. I'm all for responsible stewardship of the planet, but there i s no shortage of climate grifters, charlatans and hustlers out there, many of whom are actually influencing government policy and data. Unhelpful.

@pcdoodle2020 · in “More accurate climate change model reveals bleaker outlook on electricity, water”

When did climate change get promoted to the most serious issue? I think we might have other things to worry about and I don't come here for the fear porn. ▶ this video

Because they know it won't be under water in just a few years, and that the climate scare is selective presentation of statistics in service of propaganda to consolidate political power. Interesting view highlighting the selective presentation of statistics: ▶ this video President Obama is one of those who must think the sea level won't rise dramatically for a while, given he recently bought property near the ocean.
