Do you care? Does it matter Not really. Mostly I'm sad about the frogs. I miss frogs. you do not have to be a "Climate Scientist" to see the false narrative I watched half of that video. I was reminded of a video I watched about ten years ago that was given to an atheist friend by an evangelical relative expecting it to be persuasive. It was "Evolution and God" by Roy Comfort. He never watched it but I did. Several times. Found it fascinating as an academic exercise. You watch something like that cold and everything seems to follow and your natural reaction is "of course." It's all laid out nicely and leads you by the nose to the desired conclusion. Until you look carefully, preferably someone who is of the contrary view looks carefully. You can spot the propaganda and disinformation techniques used and see what they did. You can see right through it. You can't see those techniques if you're predisposed to buy in. That was a fascinating exercise for me. I would want to see your video vetted like that by someone knowledgeable before considering what it's selling, to make sure it doesn't have its own false narratives. I'm not qualified to vet it. It was stylistically similar to the Comfort piece so I wouldn't be surprised if the result was the same.
