Hi 3B

I must have listened to more than I though until I shut the video down

I will comment on the many segments of this video

1) Valentina Zharkova from 0 to time 28:40

Lots of hand waving but nothing visual to confirm her thoughts. I looked for charts about her predictions

I found a chart attributed to her in 2005 and compared it to the global temperature 15 years later when we are supposed to be in a "cool sun" period..



She is not even close in her prediction of the influence of the sun on global temperature.

I don't understand her math though I do have an Honors degree in Chemistry.... Hand waving arguments are no argument at IMHO.

2) The moderator says at 28:40 - 28:60 That there is no snow at the equator....

Wrong!!!
http://www.deeperafrica.com/faqs/kilimanjaro/

Mt. Kilamanjaro in Tanzania, the Mt. Cayambe in Equador, Mt. Cotacachi also in Equador, and Mt. Kenya in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya are well-known for getting cold enough to have snow even though they are right near the equator.
They are elevated many feet above sea level
Yes. Ice and snow can be found year-round on the mountain's (kilamanjaro) upper reaches. There are massive glaciers, ice fields, and towering walls of ice that blaze in the equatorial sun. While the glaciers have recently receded due to climate change, they remain, for now, an overpowering and unforgettable sight.

Cayambe’s Glaciers

A 22-square kilometer ice cap composed of glaciers covers Cayambe, reaching down to 4,200 meters on the moist eastern Amazonian side and to 4,600 meters on its drier western side. The 20 glaciers on Cayambe are currently in full retreat due to global warming. Over 40% of the mountain’s ice cap has disappeared in the last 30 years, a trend which is expected to not only continue but to speed up. Ecuadoran glaciologists estimate that by 2030 all of Cayambe’s glaciers will have disappeared below 5,000 meters. The results will include less meltwater for urban areas and farming downstream from the mountain
You can look up the others but they will say a similar story.... they have snow/glaciers but they are receding with the rise of Global temperature.

His statement is misleading at best a falsehood at worst. Note: he avoids mentioning Mount Everest which runs parallel to the equator . Cherry picking his data to suit his cause.

If the world temperature was lessening then there would be no reduction of the glaciers on these mountains

Time:29:50.....Hahaha... he says he is trying to be impartial at this point...but he is not.



Actually this interview is different to the other I listened to.

Conclusion

Here are where the wheels fall off her discussion.

Nowhere in this entire conversation does she even consider the current temperature and the associated rise in Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere



she cannot explain why the temperature is rising not falling as she predicts. She eliminates a huge event of the Industrial revolution and its effect on production of CO2.

She looks backward to times when industrial production was minimal

It is like developing a stock strategy using only data from good times... that is a doom laden plan

I have lade out charts that demonstrate what is going on.... not hand waving arguments

UE

There must be a series of these videos... I only lasted 5 minutes with another one.
