the world have increased their land mass over two decades, disproving climate change alarms. Oh, well, that's kind of awkward, isn't it? 13,000 islands got bigger. That's a lot of islands.

Now, let me tell you the little bit that I know about sea level. The little bit I know, the little bit I know, is that sea level doesn't change everywhere the same way because the land mass itself sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down. And heat, as I understand it, will increase your volume of water, so the warmer places might look a little higher unless they cool off, etc. So you've got a lot of moving parts. But apparently climate change has been debunked as one of the causes of rising sea level because CO2 is up but the sea level is not.

Now, you do know that there are two completely different movies on climate change, right? I can sit here all day long and tell you about studies that prove it doesn't exist, but you could change the channel to the other channel where all the studies prove it exists. You know that exists, right? It doesn't matter how many times I tell you there's a study that says it totally doesn't exist. There will be one that says it does, coming out at the same time. Which one is true?

Well, let's get back to the basics. What percentage of studies in general are true, just about anything, any scientific study? What are the odds it's true? 50%, because they've studied papers and they know that it's about 50%. Half the time they're wrong.

Now, is climate change a binary? Binary meaning it's either happening or it's not happening, right? Because if it's happening, you know, we're not talking about it's too slow or anything. It's either happening a lot and it's really dangerous or maybe it's not happening. Now, if you've got a binary where it could be happening or not happening, yes or no, and you've got a new paper that has a 50% chance of being right and a 50% chance of being wrong, what have you learned by the new paper? Nothing. Nothing. It's a coin flip. I could have come to you and said, hey, let's flip a coin to see if climate change is real. It would be exactly as useful as this new study about these islands. Exactly as useful, meaning not. It has no information value whatsoever. It's a 50/50. It's a coin flip.

Now, some of you should be quick to jump on and say, but Scott, let me science-plain you. Is there anybody here who wants to science-plain me? You know, telling me the things that literally everybody already knows as if I'm the only person who doesn't know it. Okay, I'm going to science-plain myself as if I'm my critic. Scott, don't you understand how science works? It's not about one study. It's about reproducing studies and moving toward the truth slowly over time. Sometimes we make mistakes, but we're moving toward the truth in a directional kind of way. Scott, don't you understand that these studies don't mean anything individually? You have to look at them collectively with all your knowledge and things. Science-splaining. There you go.

So to me it looks like all the forces of nature are moving in the direction of proving that Trump was right and that climate change was always just in time for the election. Is it my imagination or have we been hearing a lot less about climate change than one would expect going into an election? Huh. Why would we hear less about climate change going into an election where the choice of presidents could make the
