an do it, the argument was always that once it can be done there'll be more than one. So after somebody makes one of them in a year in the real world, in one year there will be that simulation. Somebody else is going to say, hey that's a good idea, I'll make one too. And at that moment the number of simulated realities will be confirmed to be twice as many as base reality if there is, if even one…
← Previous segment →ke the easiest thing you could look up in the world, doesn't it? The most important thing is climate change. So there's a gazillion documents and science about climate change. The most important thing we need to know about climate change is are the predictions correct, right? Would you agree? It's the biggest problem if it's true, and the biggest issue within it is can we predict it so that we know that we're in trouble. So the most obvious thing that should be easy to Google would be what are the predictions and what's the reality. You can't find it. You cannot find it. Good luck.
You can even take one thing. Take just one thing. Are the storms more severe or less? Good luck. You'll find yes, you'll find no. Sometimes you'll find confusing answers. But you cannot answer the question have the predictions so far turned out to be true. Now here's what you're going to say. But Scott, I know the answer. The sea level has not risen. That's not what the internet says. The internet says that the sea level has risen but not everywhere. For example in the Gulf of Mexico they say the sea level has risen as predicted, but maybe not on the other side of Florida. So if you go to the internet, I swear to God this is true, they'll tell you that the sea level rose on the west side of Florida but not the east side. Which maybe is possible because the one side is warmer than the other. But don't you think it rose a little bit on the other side? Yeah.
So here's my challenge to you. My challenge is this. You cannot with any credibility determine if the predictions were right or wrong. Now do you think that's an accident that the internet won't tell you that? Do you think that nobody studied that? No, I'll bet it just gets erased as it's published. I guarantee you that somebody did a good job of looking at the predictions and a really good job of comparing them to reality, and you can't find it. Try. See. Try yourself. I welcome the challenge. See if you can find the answer to that question.
Now the fact that you can't find it, what does that tell you? That's all you need to know. That is the dog that is so not barking. Because if the predictions had been largely true, not completely but even just largely true, you would hear that every day, right? If Al Gore had been right about most things but not everything, it's all you would hear. It'd be in the news every day. Look how right we were. I don't see it. I see stuff like looks like this one island had a little problem but the island next to it was fine. Or we did get storms like a little earlier this year but we don't really see a signal that there's more or worse storms. But some people would say there are. That's the state of our data. Don't know.
So we don't know if sea level's going up or down. We don't know if storms are getting worse. And then what about the ice? There was a prediction that the ice would melt and that the North Pole you'd be able to pass. So is that a prediction from climate change? Well the trouble is that was predicted without climate change because the world is always warming or cooling long term. So we already knew that the ice was going to melt 'cause we're in a warming period, which is better than being in a cooling period. So how much of the ice melt is because it was going to happen anyway versus climate change? Well the argument would be but Scott there's an acceleration so it's much more now. It's accelerated. Yeah, yeah, there might be some baseline because we're at a long-term warming period, but you know, accelerated. Did it? You think they can measure that? Because I've seen evidence that they measured it wrong. Do I believe the evidence that they measured it wrong? No. Do I believe the evidence that they measured it right? No. Because part of the argument is you're measuring the wrong ice. Like there are places where there's less of it but in other places there's a lot more. And if you only looked at one place you'd say well there's less ice there. But if

you looked at all the places you'd find that some were more and some were less. Did you know that? I'm not even sure if it's true. It's just something I read. So we can't even be sure conclusively that we have more or less ice. I mean just think about that. And then what about the polar bears? The polar bears of course would be at risk if the ice melted. But you know what happened? We came up wit…
