Speaker 1: I'm a scientist. My job with you and others is
0:03
Speaker 1: to say, here's what they're telling you, and here's what
0:06
Speaker 1: the science is. And so that's my job is to
0:09
Speaker 1: provide the science, the facts of the data that dispute
0:12
Speaker 1: this notion of a man made climate crisis. And again
0:17
Speaker 1: in my first book, in Give Being in Facts, we've
0:20
Speaker 1: dispelled this notion of a climate crisis quite succinctly. And
0:25
Speaker 1: now we've actually gone beyond that. There is no client
0:28
Speaker 1: crisis to what's actually happening is hugely beneficial. We're benefiting
0:33
Speaker 1: from it. You're listening to Carrie.
0:35
Speaker 2: Let'sa's Financial Survival Network where you get valuable information you
0:39
Speaker 2: just can't find anywhere else to thrive in today's trying times.
0:44
Speaker 2: You need the Financial Survival Network now more than ever.
0:48
Speaker 2: Go to Financial Survivalnetwork dot com and get your free
0:52
Speaker 2: newsletter and gift. Financial Survival Network now more than ever.
1:01
Speaker 3: And welcome. You are listening to the Financial Survival Network.
1:05
Speaker 3: I'm your host, Kerrie Lutz. Well, after you hear this show,
1:09
Speaker 3: I think you'll be thinking about CO two a little
1:12
Speaker 3: bit differently than you might be already. And the reason
1:16
Speaker 3: why is because we have Gregory Wrightstone on with us.
1:20
Speaker 3: He is heads up an organization called the CO two Coalition,
1:24
Speaker 3: and it's not exactly what you think, Gregory, welcome back
1:27
Speaker 3: to the show. So do we have a looming CO
1:31
Speaker 3: two crisis?
1:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do. Actually, we have an ongoing CO two crisis,
1:38
Speaker 1: and that's a crisis of too little carbon dioxide or
1:42
Speaker 1: CO two in the atmosphere. We're actually at historically low
1:46
Speaker 1: levels of CO atospheric CO two. We're at a little
1:50
Speaker 1: over four hundred parts per million. The average throughout our
1:54
Speaker 1: history was twenty six hundred parts per million, so the
1:57
Speaker 1: average and life blossomed was six have times what it
2:00
Speaker 1: is today. We're solving that problem of this climate shortage
2:07
Speaker 1: in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and adding CO
2:11
Speaker 1: two to the atmosphere. So my latest book, the title
2:14
Speaker 1: is a Very Convenient Warming, and the subtitle will gave
2:18
Speaker 1: it away. The subtitle is how modest warming and more
2:21
Speaker 1: CO two are benefiting humanity. That's right, More CO two
2:26
Speaker 1: and warmth are actually very doing, very very good things
2:29
Speaker 1: for our ecosystems and for the human condition, and we
2:33
Speaker 1: can celebrate that and just completely opposite of what your
2:36
Speaker 1: viewers are being told every single day.
2:40
Speaker 3: All right, So what are the benefits of the elevated
2:44
Speaker 3: levels of CO two.
2:46
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of revolve A lot of it
2:48
Speaker 1: revolves around vegetation. And the key point here is obviously
2:53
Speaker 1: crops that we're growing. Agriculture is vegetation that we consume
2:58
Speaker 1: and eat, and this increase in CO two we're doing
3:02
Speaker 1: wonderful things for the farmers for agriculture productivity. If we
3:08
Speaker 1: look over the last sixty years, and I captured this
3:12
Speaker 1: in my book, I look at the top eight crops
3:14
Speaker 1: in the world in terms of tunnings produced, and all
3:17
Speaker 1: of those crops and nearly every other crop are breaking
3:21
Speaker 1: production records year after year after year, and it's credited
3:27
Speaker 1: to primarily it's increase of carbon dioxide. I know middle
3:33
Speaker 1: school wor you were back in sixth grade or seventh grade,
3:38
Speaker 1: your teacher had you had a little cup with soil
3:41
Speaker 1: in and you might have put a bean in there
3:42
Speaker 1: and put it on the windows cell. And in that
3:44
Speaker 1: class you learned about photosynthesis and you learned, along with
3:49
Speaker 1: your viewers, what do we need for photosynthesis and plant growth?
3:53
Speaker 1: It's sunlight, water, and CO two. And the more CO
3:57
Speaker 1: two the better and that's what we're seeing is this
4:00
Speaker 1: tremendous response from crops worldwide, from the coldest nations to
4:05
Speaker 1: the hottest nations like India, responding to more carbon dioxide.
4:10
Speaker 1: The other good thing about carbon dioxide, with this increasing
4:14
Speaker 1: amounts of CO two, it increases the drought resistivity of plants.
4:19
Speaker 1: Plants and crops resist drought because they don't use it,
4:25
Speaker 1: use or need as much water because of the increases
4:29
Speaker 1: in the CO two. They're not if it's it's not
4:31
Speaker 1: really inhaling your next haaling, but if you get kind
4:34
Speaker 1: of think of it that way, it's this it's called
4:36
Speaker 1: transpiration process where they bring in carbon dioxide through their
4:41
Speaker 1: pores in their leaves. They're called stomata for the scientists,
4:45
Speaker 1: and these pores in their leaves they bring then bring
4:48
Speaker 1: in CO two combines with sunlight and water. The plants grow,
4:54
Speaker 1: creates mass and the more CO two the better. And
4:58
Speaker 1: so what we see here there are other things that
5:01
Speaker 1: are benefiting in addition to CO two and its drought
5:04
Speaker 1: resistance and how it's turbocharging plant growth. The warming effect.
5:09
Speaker 1: We are in a warming trend. We just are. It's
5:13
Speaker 1: been warming though for more than three hundred years. And again,
5:17
Speaker 1: this warming trend started long before mister Ford rolled the
5:22
Speaker 1: first model T off of the assembly line, long before
5:26
Speaker 1: we started driving subs. So we had two hundred and
5:29
Speaker 1: fifty years of natural warming. But now that we're being
5:33
Speaker 1: told it's all the warming we're seeings driven by carbon dioxide.
5:36
Speaker 1: And I'll dispute that strongly because those see natural forces
5:41
Speaker 1: that were driving temperatures up and down over really since
5:45
Speaker 1: the dawn of time. Those natural forces have not stopped.
5:49
Speaker 1: There's still in existence today. And this warming that we're
5:52
Speaker 1: seeing thankfully coming up out of the death dealing cold
5:56
Speaker 1: of the Little Ice Age. Several hundred years ago, we
6:00
Speaker 1: were in what was some of the coldest were some
6:03
Speaker 1: of the coldest temperatures of the last ten thousand years.
6:06
Speaker 1: And so this warming we're seeing, I've again to capture
6:10
Speaker 1: it in my book, A very Convenient Warming. I've got
6:12
Speaker 1: a chart showing a length of growing season in the
6:15
Speaker 1: continentity United States. We find that in the continentality United States,
6:19
Speaker 1: growing seasons have lengthened by more than two weeks. Think
6:23
Speaker 1: about that. That's a good thing. And the lasening bone
6:28
Speaker 1: season is killing frosts and earlier in the spring arrived
6:32
Speaker 1: later in the follshy and more plantings. And if you're
6:36
Speaker 1: a fruit, if you own a fruit orchard, what do
6:38
Speaker 1: you fear the most? Late spring killing frosts because of
6:42
Speaker 1: this warming, we're seeing much lesser than And then the
6:45
Speaker 1: third thing to this driving plant growth or the use
6:49
Speaker 1: of nitrogen fertilizer, which the climate industrial complex wants to
6:54
Speaker 1: ban entirely because of this unfounded fear of nitrous ox
7:01
Speaker 1: that's warming the planet to unprecedented heights.
7:04
Speaker 3: All right, So you know, I was always under the
7:08
Speaker 3: impression that the amount of forest in the US were
7:11
Speaker 3: diminishing and that was bad because it's not producing enough
7:15
Speaker 3: no no carb dioxide. But that's not true, right.
7:18
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely not true. We can document that for uts
7:23
Speaker 1: are expanding throughout the world. What we are experiencing is
7:27
Speaker 1: because of this quest for clean renewable energy from wind
7:31
Speaker 1: turbines and solar farms, they're cutting down with you're forests
7:37
Speaker 1: in the along the East coast to turn them into
7:39
Speaker 1: wood pellets to ship the United Kingdom that they will
7:43
Speaker 1: burn and call a renewable biofuel. Because of course those
7:47
Speaker 1: mature trees they cut down, you know, going to be decades,
7:52
Speaker 1: might be one hundred years, but they'll come back. It's renewable.
7:55
Speaker 1: So they're cutting down our forest to ship to burn
7:58
Speaker 1: up in the Drax electricity generation plant in the United Kingdom.
8:02
Speaker 1: They're they're cutting down mature forests uh paving over grasslands
8:08
Speaker 1: and farmlands to put up solar powered industrial facilities. And
8:13
Speaker 1: don't you dare call them farms. They're not. They're not
8:16
Speaker 1: solar farms. They're not uh wind of farms. Their industrial scale,
8:22
Speaker 1: environmentally catastrophic u P projects that are likely harmful to
8:29
Speaker 1: whales and sea life when they're done offshore, definitely harmful
8:34
Speaker 1: to wildlife and animals, birds, if you will, when they're
8:39
Speaker 1: on shore and they're they're covering up in habitat that
8:43
Speaker 1: could be used falling and endangered species. And so what
8:47
Speaker 1: they're doing is they're telling us there's this uh one
8:51
Speaker 1: of the one of the claims is there's this ongoing
8:53
Speaker 1: sixth Great extinction that we've never seen. Extinctions are increasing
8:58
Speaker 1: by huge event number or just just the opposite is
9:02
Speaker 1: the case. Extinctions are declining. But the one thing that
9:05
Speaker 1: was a UN report that came out, the one thing
9:07
Speaker 1: the UN got correct in this extinction report they published
9:11
Speaker 1: here last year they said the greatest threat to intend
9:15
Speaker 1: dangered species is loss of habitat. I agree with that.
9:18
Speaker 1: They're entirely correct. What's their solution to serve the climate
9:23
Speaker 1: change crisis. That's not happening, by the way, it's destroy
9:28
Speaker 1: the habitat, destroy habitat. That the endangered species that they
9:33
Speaker 1: hear about. It's just crazy. We have to protect our
9:37
Speaker 1: endangered species. Oh, by the way, well, we just have
9:40
Speaker 1: to pave over these thousands of square miles to put
9:44
Speaker 1: up solar industrial facilities. Oh, we just have to cut
9:47
Speaker 1: down the forests. But the big story here is the
9:52
Speaker 1: earth itself is not experiencing deforestation. We're experiencing reforestation. The
9:59
Speaker 1: forested and in timber area in the United States has
10:02
Speaker 1: hugely increased. I just looked at my ex home state.
10:05
Speaker 1: I'm living now in the Free State of Florida, by
10:08
Speaker 1: the way, but my ex where I moved from, Pennsylvania.
10:11
Speaker 1: I looked at the standing timber forested area in the
10:15
Speaker 1: United States. Pennsylvania, excuse me, has increased five point two
10:20
Speaker 1: times since nineteen fifty three. That was a published report
10:24
Speaker 1: that just came out. Five times more than five times.
10:27
Speaker 1: The amount of forests in Pennsylvania and we see this
10:30
Speaker 1: reflective throughout the United States, India, a lot of the
10:35
Speaker 1: developing world. We're seeing this increase in the forest and
10:38
Speaker 1: standing timber. We should celebrate that, all.
10:41
Speaker 3: Right, But what about the rainforest? Man, they're being deforested
10:45
Speaker 3: and all these bad things are happening. You know, shouldn't
10:48
Speaker 3: you be scared to death of that?
10:50
Speaker 1: Now that's another fallacy again they're talking ours. Is some
10:55
Speaker 1: of the Amazon rainforests being cut down? Yeah, not a
10:59
Speaker 1: whole lot in the big scheme of things, and it
11:02
Speaker 1: grows back extremely quickly if they turn it over into
11:05
Speaker 1: crops or grassland for raising cattle. Of course they're not
11:09
Speaker 1: going to cattle, will keep that crop. But the fact
11:11
Speaker 1: of the matter is the patentel which is part of
11:14
Speaker 1: the Amazon rainforest is thriving and prospering. And they're also
11:19
Speaker 1: they're talking about the other rainforests around the world, like Indonesia,
11:22
Speaker 1: they're cutting down in danger species habitats like for the
11:26
Speaker 1: Orangu attack, and they're cutting the forest down and putting
11:30
Speaker 1: up monoculture palm trees for buying a fuel. And so again,
11:36
Speaker 1: once again, I guess the story that they believe is
11:39
Speaker 1: you have in order to save the environment. We need
11:41
Speaker 1: to destroy the environment, I.
11:44
Speaker 3: Say, Vietnam in order to save the village, we got
11:47
Speaker 3: to kill it right.
11:48
Speaker 1: Now, you're onto that's now, yeah, now you've got it correct.
11:53
Speaker 3: But what about food? Like we got to be eating
11:57
Speaker 3: bugs because the or you know, dangerous to our continued existence,
12:04
Speaker 3: Like you know, a t bone steak is going to
12:07
Speaker 3: be on the endangered species list the way we're going now.
12:10
Speaker 3: And they view you, the elites, as useless eaters, all right.
12:15
Speaker 1: They are. And I'm you know, I've got a large
12:17
Speaker 1: carbon footprint and I'm proud of it. The larger the better,
12:20
Speaker 1: I say. Because we've been an unofficial motto here at
12:25
Speaker 1: the CO two Coalition. Our motto that we go by
12:28
Speaker 1: is we love CO two when so should you because
12:32
Speaker 1: of the many benefits that we're saying from again modest
12:36
Speaker 1: warming and more CEO two. It's it's a hugely beneficial
12:41
Speaker 1: result that we're saying from both warming and more so two.
12:45
Speaker 1: So so life is good and getting better. That's that's
12:48
Speaker 1: the theme of my new book.
12:49
Speaker 3: They don't any hear that, No, no, So I got
12:53
Speaker 3: one for you. So all these climate change people who
12:58
Speaker 3: are up in arms and want to all stop driving
13:01
Speaker 3: their SUVs, they're in there their private jets, going all
13:06
Speaker 3: over the world to conferences. So they don't even know
13:09
Speaker 3: that they're actually helping the climate by burning up all
13:13
Speaker 3: that oxygen, creating CO two exactly.
13:17
Speaker 1: And I think they know. I think they know just well,
13:20
Speaker 1: they don't know about the benefits of CO two. I
13:22
Speaker 1: suspect very few of these blowhards, like Al Gore or
13:27
Speaker 1: John Kerry or Griffa Thunberg, I don't It's quite possible
13:31
Speaker 1: they don't really realize how much of a benefit they're
13:34
Speaker 1: getting by increasing CO two. All they why are they
13:39
Speaker 1: doing this? It's it's really I get asked that all
13:43
Speaker 1: the time, and you know, I don't know. You're carry
13:47
Speaker 1: You're just as qualified, and everyone watching this right now
13:50
Speaker 1: is just as qualified as I am to say why
13:52
Speaker 1: they're doing it. I'm a scientist. My job with you
13:56
Speaker 1: and others is to say, here's what they're telling you,
14:00
Speaker 1: and here's what the science is. And so that's my
14:02
Speaker 1: job is to provide the science, the facts of the data,
14:06
Speaker 1: the dispute this notion of a man made climate crisis.
14:10
Speaker 1: And again in my first book and KEI being in facts,
14:13
Speaker 1: we've dispelled this notion of a climate crisis quite succinctly,
14:19
Speaker 1: and now we've actually gone beyond that. There is no
14:21
Speaker 1: client crisis to what's actually happening is hugely beneficial. We're
14:26
Speaker 1: benefiting from it, all right.
14:28
Speaker 3: So you're not making any friends out there. And I
14:31
Speaker 3: should have mentioned Greg that you are a geologist, and
14:36
Speaker 3: you know you've got a scientific background here, so you're
14:40
Speaker 3: not just speaking from the cuff. Here is all science based.
14:45
Speaker 1: It is. And the CO two coalition that I lead,
14:48
Speaker 1: i'm executive director there. We have nearly two hundred of
14:51
Speaker 1: the top experts and scientists in the world, people like
14:55
Speaker 1: doctor Patrick Moore, who was a founder of Greenpeace, who
14:58
Speaker 1: I would recommend getting on this show with you. He's
15:01
Speaker 1: a wonder he's a wonderful interview, really fascinating, but a
15:07
Speaker 1: founder of Greenpeace, and he sits on our board. Another
15:10
Speaker 1: board member is John Klausser. He was the twenty twenty
15:14
Speaker 1: two Nobel Laureate in physics. It's hard to call him
15:18
Speaker 1: a science deni er with a Nobel Laureate in physics,
15:20
Speaker 1: but they do. Or or doctor Rube William Happer, Emeritus
15:25
Speaker 1: Professor of Physics and Princeton, and these are top scientists,
15:30
Speaker 1: top physicists in the world, we have a number. What
15:34
Speaker 1: we do is take a look at the actual the
15:36
Speaker 1: data and the science behind disputing what this is. And
15:41
Speaker 1: a lot of these reports that we write are pretty
15:44
Speaker 1: unreadable for the main person, but we take them and
15:47
Speaker 1: synthesize them into a readable document and that you can
15:51
Speaker 1: get a lot of this information at CO two Coalition
15:55
Speaker 1: dot org. CO two Coalition dot org for example World
15:59
Speaker 1: War Right now on a number of papers when we're
16:03
Speaker 1: finishing up is Arkansas and Climate, and it's fascinating what
16:08
Speaker 1: we find is Arkansas in particular is kind of ground
16:11
Speaker 1: zero for it. But that whole area there's a beouting
16:13
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve state area where temperatures have actually been
16:16
Speaker 1: declining for the last several decades. They're not increasing, they're declining.
16:21
Speaker 1: They keep that very quiet, and so we'll be publishing
16:25
Speaker 1: our Arkansas Report. Those in the Midwest, I want to
16:30
Speaker 1: learn more about what's happening in the Midwest, go to
16:32
Speaker 1: CO two Coalition dot org and just search for Midwest
16:36
Speaker 1: and come up with our Midwest Report. To find out
16:38
Speaker 1: that life is good in America's bread basket and getting
16:43
Speaker 1: better was the subtitle. The most recent report was Wyoming,
16:48
Speaker 1: where the governor there is promoting this carbon capture. He's
16:54
Speaker 1: teamed up with these other Republican governors of the North,
17:00
Speaker 1: Christy Nome and Doug Bergham to decarbonize the West. We're
17:05
Speaker 1: going to decarbonize the West. We're going to spend billions
17:08
Speaker 1: of dollars to capture CO two from our coal fired
17:11
Speaker 1: power plants and then pump it underground. But the dirty
17:15
Speaker 1: little secret is if you do this carbon capture on
17:19
Speaker 1: coal fired power plants, the plants it takes almost twenty
17:23
Speaker 1: five percent of their energy output to do the carbon capture.
17:28
Speaker 1: So now you've got to do where where's that energy
17:30
Speaker 1: going to come from. It's crazy to be taking a
17:34
Speaker 1: beneficial molecule out of the atmosphere using so much electricity
17:39
Speaker 1: and energy.
17:41
Speaker 3: That's amazing, amazing. It's like a case of like everything
17:45
Speaker 3: you know is wrong, right.
17:48
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. It's if they do if what they're proposing
17:55
Speaker 1: actually comes to pass. With a recent study by doctor
17:58
Speaker 1: linzen Happer, Steve Coonan, these are all top physicists, and
18:04
Speaker 1: in it they conclude that the proposals of lowering CO
18:09
Speaker 1: two eliminating nitrogen fertilizer blocking the sunlight with geoengineering, all
18:16
Speaker 1: of these will lead to mass to crop failure and
18:20
Speaker 1: probably starvation and probably the deaths of millions of people,
18:25
Speaker 1: all in the name of solving a non existent climate crisis.
18:29
Speaker 1: So no, we're pushing back. I won't stand for it.
18:32
Speaker 1: And we have these Republicans that think they're doing the
18:34
Speaker 1: right thing. They say, oh, can't we don't want to
18:37
Speaker 1: spend trillions of dollars. No, no, we just want to
18:40
Speaker 1: spend eight hundred and fifty billion, not trillions. I say no,
18:45
Speaker 1: I say not eight hundred and fifty billion, not eight
18:48
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand, Not eight dollars and fifty cents,
18:52
Speaker 1: not one red cent of our tax money should be
18:55
Speaker 1: spent to solve what is obviously a non existent climate crisis.
19:01
Speaker 1: It ain't happening, but it's not going to happen, and
19:05
Speaker 1: we should rejoice in what we're saying, because man, life
19:08
Speaker 1: is good in getting better.
19:10
Speaker 3: But good New York City is going to be underwater
19:13
Speaker 3: in Miami Beach, you know, Florida is just going to
19:16
Speaker 3: be all underwater because the ice caps melting, because Antarctica
19:23
Speaker 3: is melting, and it's just going to cover everything. Right,
19:27
Speaker 3: I mean, isn't that you gry?
19:28
Speaker 1: That's what they're telling you. Let's explore that a little bit.
19:31
Speaker 1: Number one, you can melt the entire Polar ice cap,
19:34
Speaker 1: northern Polar ice cap, and it would scarcely affects sea level.
19:37
Speaker 1: And the reason is that ice cap is floating on water.
19:40
Speaker 1: Think about the Titanic and the iceberg. Ninety percent of
19:43
Speaker 1: that icebergs underwater. As you can do that experiment at home.
19:47
Speaker 1: Put a jar of water, put some ice cubes in it,
19:50
Speaker 1: mark the level, and when those ice cubes melt, the
19:53
Speaker 1: water level remains the same. It's the same with the oceans,
19:57
Speaker 1: and Antarctic is actually gaining ice, as is Greenland is
20:01
Speaker 1: gaining ice. And the other thing they talk about are
20:05
Speaker 1: these at risk island nations like two Valu and the Maldives.
20:09
Speaker 1: If we if I look at the Maldives is in
20:12
Speaker 1: the Indian Ocean, it's a whole series of these corala
20:16
Speaker 1: calls in islands. They're the premiere. The way the president
20:22
Speaker 1: of the malde is standing there with his handout wanting
20:25
Speaker 1: climate reparations. I can't blame them, but they're talking about
20:28
Speaker 1: giving him billions of dollars for climate reparations because they're
20:31
Speaker 1: going to be underwater in a few decades. Well, guess what.
20:35
Speaker 1: Let's look at that the Maldives fifteen thousand years ago
20:39
Speaker 1: were just above sea level, just as they are today.
20:43
Speaker 1: In that fifteen thousand years, sea level has risen four
20:46
Speaker 1: hundred feet. Why are therese islands not under four hundred
20:50
Speaker 1: feet of water? Question question? And I've got a good answer.
20:56
Speaker 1: It's a number of things going into this. Primarily number one.
21:00
Speaker 1: As sea level rise, as the coral grows with it.
21:03
Speaker 1: That's pretty easy to understand. But how does the island
21:07
Speaker 1: itself grow above sea level. It's a process known as accretion.
21:11
Speaker 1: It's a geologic process where the waves break off coral
21:15
Speaker 1: and sand and these as storms come in, they wash
21:18
Speaker 1: the sand and the gravels up onto the island and
21:20
Speaker 1: then the critters on the island distribute it around the island.
21:24
Speaker 1: And that's what we call accretion. And actually the Malbeves
21:28
Speaker 1: and many of the islands around the world that more
21:30
Speaker 1: islands are growing than are shwinking. So it's completely again,
21:35
Speaker 1: completely the opposite of what you're being told. And it's
21:38
Speaker 1: this accretionary process of these islands around the world. Otherwise
21:42
Speaker 1: all these islands would have been completely underwater thousands and
21:46
Speaker 1: thousands of years ago.
21:48
Speaker 3: Well, I find it interesting that a lot of what
21:51
Speaker 3: they attribute to climate change is really erosion, right Like
21:57
Speaker 3: I see it like in Montauk house was built in
22:00
Speaker 3: the late seventeen hundreds and it was like four hundred
22:04
Speaker 3: feet from the water, and now it's like one hundred
22:07
Speaker 3: feet and eventually it'll be gone. And then I see
22:09
Speaker 3: it like Cape Cod all of these buildings kind of
22:12
Speaker 3: the house is built on the bluffs. A lot of
22:15
Speaker 3: them are too close to the water. And you know,
22:19
Speaker 3: the erosion of that is what it's causing it. But
22:24
Speaker 3: that isn't climate change.
22:26
Speaker 1: No, it's a geologic Again, I'm a geologist, so I've
22:30
Speaker 1: studied these things. I've gone. These are barriers. All along
22:33
Speaker 1: the eastern coast, we have a series of what are
22:35
Speaker 1: called barrier islands, and these barrier islands move. Their erosion
22:41
Speaker 1: takes place either in the north or south of the island,
22:44
Speaker 1: depending which way the water currents are going, and then
22:47
Speaker 1: there's a cretion that occurs on the other end of
22:49
Speaker 1: the island. So these things are over hundreds of years
22:53
Speaker 1: and some thousands of years. These barrier islands are moving
22:57
Speaker 1: and moving and moving, and what was once near the
23:02
Speaker 1: water is now in some cases are inland because the
23:05
Speaker 1: sands accreted the creationary process and it's eroding at the
23:09
Speaker 1: other end of the island. And we see this as
23:12
Speaker 1: a natural process. So you I think almost to have
23:15
Speaker 1: a gevid. If you're going to buy a property near
23:18
Speaker 1: the near the shore, you should probably have a geologist
23:22
Speaker 1: tell you, well, probably should You probably don't want to
23:24
Speaker 1: build the area you're in an erosionary area, and.
23:29
Speaker 3: The flood zone too, So we got these storm surges
23:32
Speaker 3: everything else. I mean, you look at the Barrier islands
23:36
Speaker 3: and the East Coast, and those are always the ones
23:38
Speaker 3: that get slammed by the storms and the ones that
23:42
Speaker 3: are eroding away now. Interestingly, though, if you look at
23:46
Speaker 3: an aerial picture of Miami Beach, the shoreline is almost
23:50
Speaker 3: identical to what it was sixty eighty years ago, right right, Well.
23:56
Speaker 1: The Holy East Coast and Miami are subsiding a little bit,
24:01
Speaker 1: and in many areas the subsidence is more than what
24:05
Speaker 1: the sea level rises, so it's called relative sea level rise.
24:11
Speaker 1: Because of the tectonic geologic tectonic of the East Coast
24:17
Speaker 1: of the United States, and it's bears maybe six or
24:22
Speaker 1: seven inches per century that it might be subsiding, and
24:27
Speaker 1: sea level is increasing six or seven inches. So the
24:30
Speaker 1: net result of that would be thirteen or fourteen inches
24:34
Speaker 1: of apparent sea level. Wise, only half of it truly
24:39
Speaker 1: is sea level. And that's because of the glaciers that
24:42
Speaker 1: covered North America. If you can imagine a waterbed, those
24:46
Speaker 1: glaciers actually pushed. There was so much weight, with thousands
24:49
Speaker 1: of feet a waste, it actually pushed the mantle of
24:52
Speaker 1: the earth down across all of North America. And as
24:56
Speaker 1: they retreated, it's now rising back up. Just imagine getting
25:00
Speaker 1: into a waterbed, and of course it sinks down where
25:03
Speaker 1: you're where you're in it, and then when you get out,
25:05
Speaker 1: the outer edges, you know, the outer edges when you're
25:08
Speaker 1: in that waterbed rise up a little bit. When you
25:10
Speaker 1: come out, they fall. And that's what we're seeing here
25:13
Speaker 1: in the United States and around the world, tectonic release
25:17
Speaker 1: of the of the margins of the continents. Yeah.
25:21
Speaker 3: Well, one thing I will say, they've gotten smarter about
25:25
Speaker 3: the shorelines doing all these plantings, which which helps stop
25:31
Speaker 3: the erosion or at least slow it down considerably. You know,
25:37
Speaker 3: but again much ado about nothing. Hey, how do we
25:43
Speaker 3: find out more about about your organization? About the CO
25:47
Speaker 3: two Coalition. I know there's this.
25:50
Speaker 1: Luck out here. Well, you've got my new book, A
25:53
Speaker 1: Very Convenient Warming, published just recently, so it's been very successful,
25:59
Speaker 1: A very Convenient Warming, my first book, Inconvenient Facts. We
26:03
Speaker 1: just had the tenth printing that we just got done
26:06
Speaker 1: here last week, and so it's been highly successful. Again
26:10
Speaker 1: that's Inconvenient Facts, which was published a few years ago
26:16
Speaker 1: but is still pretty high on the bestseller charts on
26:19
Speaker 1: Amazon right now. So Inconvenient Facts and A Very Convenient Warming.
26:24
Speaker 1: To learn more about this information, go to CO two

26:32
Speaker 1: there's a link in the show notes to your site
26:36
Speaker 1: on Financial Survival Network dot com. Please go over there,
26:39
Speaker 1: sign up for your free newsletter. And it's always great
26:42
Speaker 1: having you on, Gregory. It's fascinating how much we think
26:48
Speaker 1: we know at how little we actually know, which is
26:51
Speaker 1: often the case. And the problem is when those people
26:53
Speaker 1: start passing policies that wind up costing us money and
26:59
Speaker 1: really doing more m and not accomplishing what they're supposed to.
27:03
Speaker 1: We've got a question where Gregory or myself Klatcarrie LUTs
27:07
Speaker 1: dot com is the email address.
27:10
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you again and thanks for coming out.
