one that matters. The other ones are just bad models, right? So I only need to know the one that works. It doesn't matter how many times Tony Heller tells me some individual scientist or some individual prediction was wrong. It's totally irrelevant. I only need to know is there one that's right? I don't need to know how many were wrong. And I don't know that.

All right, I tweeted that apparently most opinions on climate change line up by political preference. If you're a Democrat you think climate change is a dire problem and we should do something about it. If you're a Republican by a big majority you don't think it's the problem that's being reported.

Now let me ask you this. If people's scientific opinion coincidentally matches very very strongly to their political side, is anybody really looking at the science? It's a question that answers itself. The fact that people have lined up by political party as opposed to just people disagree. If what you saw was half of the Democrats were disagreeing with each other and half of the Republicans were disagreeing whether it's a problem or not, you'd say to yourself oh well it's not about political allegiance. People have actually looked at the news. They've come to different opinions. But you can know with certainty that that's not what's happening because people have just lined up by political parties.

So your opinion that climate change is either settled science or completely hoax, wherever you are on that or if you're anywhere in the middle, your opinion is an illusion of knowledge. You do not have knowledge about climate science. You have an illusion of knowledge that is almost certainly given to you by the press on your side of the political spectrum. I know it's hard to hear but that's true.

All right, there's another study that says people who drink sugary sodas don't live as long. And apparently people who even drink Diet versions of the same sodas also have bad health outcomes. Now toward the end of the study it said something like well we don't know if it's a cause and effect but there's a very strong correlation. If you drink soda you don't live as long.

Now let me ask you this. Is it your experience that people who drink a lot of soda take care of their fitness and have a good diet otherwise? It might be the dumbest study I've ever seen because it's almost a perfect correlation. If you drink soda which is very near the top of the things you wouldn't do if you wanted a healthy diet, it's very unlikely that you're eating everything else right and exercising and doing all the other things that are good for good health. You're probably not sleeping right. You're probably not eating right. You're probably not exercising.

Now of course there are people who are doing everything right except drinking soda but guess what, nobody studied them. Then I don't think there's a study that says okay of the people who are doing everything else right as far as we know, they're exercising, they're sleeping right, they're eating all the right foods and they're eating organic and all that. The only thing they do wrong is they have a couple of Diet Cokes every day. Do those people have worse health outcomes? I don't know. Maybe. My sense of it is that diet soda is probably not good for you but it's the most ridiculous study to say that that correlation should be translated into your mind to some kind of causation.

All right, is there anything else we haven't talked about? I'm going to take some calls from people who believe that scientists, 97% of scientists agree. All right so I'm pulling my microphone so I can take some calls. That's the only way to hear the callers if I hold my microphone. So they're looking. Caller who believes the scientists all agree on climate change. Let's see if this guest is one of those people. A little guest, can you hear me yet? Do you? Hello. Lynn. Lynn yes that's me.

Now do you believe that 97% of scientists agree on climate change? All right this is gonna be a loaded question. So I believe that they believe that 97% of them agreeing on it. However I also have done some studying on scientists cooking books to make it appear that we are in a climate change and it started in 1939 when they said that it was getting hotter when in actuality it wasn't. And so all those people in the Midwest started moving to the coast. So I think they believe what they're putting out there to be true when in fact it's false.

All right I'm looking for somebody who believes that climate change is real because the scientists say it is. So thank you for your comment. Let's see if I could get somebody to take that position. My guess is that nobody is going to take that position. That there will be literally no one who is willing to back up the 97% figure for climate science.

Hi caller. I've done an informal survey of the scientists that I know and scientists don't tend to believe things in black and white. They tend to make a judgment based on the preponderance of evidence. They accumulate evidence for hypotheses. And I can just say as someone who's made climate change videos for Al Gore and still am a big fan of your work that the polar ice caps are verifiably melting. The seas along the coast are verifiably rising. Our Navy is preparing for the effects of the rising sea. So it looks to me like there's a problem that the earth is warming. That's my answer.

Okay um but do you think that 97% of scientists are on the same page on climate science? Ha
