You Do Know Co2 Is A Good Thing. Right? · Conversations: Special Guests with Preston Scott

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Good nay mates, and welcome if you're just joining us.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's the third hour of the Morning Show with Preston
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Scott and we do have a podcast of the program.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We've had it for a very long time, so if
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: you missed the first two hours, just look up the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: podcast on the iHeartRadio app and there you go. You'll
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: get caught up. But you've tuned in at the right
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: time because I am joined by a friend of the program.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We have known Greg Wrightstone for a number of years.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: He's chairman of the CO two Coalition. He's author of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a couple of books, Inconvenient Facts, The Science that Al
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Gore Doesn't want you to Know and a very Convenient Warming,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: How Modest Warming and CO two are Benefiting humanity. He
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: is Greg Wridstone.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Hi, Greg, good Marning, how are you?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I am terrific For the benefit of those that have
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: missed our previous visits, do a quick reset here. You're
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you're a geologist by profession. What was it that you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: finally had your popeye moment and you've stood all you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: could stand and you couldn't stand anymore, and you decided
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you were going to take this challenge on?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, as a scientist. I knew that some of
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: what this goes back to. About twenty fifteen is when
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I really started getting very interested to learn the truth.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And I heard the things as a geologist that we
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: were being told that I knew were just false. In
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: particularly that's that oceans are becoming acidic. You've probably heard
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of ocean acidification. That just a terrible thing, And I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: knew that that was actually incorrect. It cannot happen. We
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: won't go into the science of why it can't happen.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: We could do that on a different show. But I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: knew that, And so I said, they're lying to me
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: about this. What else are they lying to me about?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And so I did it? I didn't. I'm going to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: do my own research. I'm going to do a deep
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: dive into various claims that are being made of in
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: using wildfires, sea level rise. You've heard them all.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you, did you start this process of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: researching through the lens of as a professional, trained, academic geologist,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: or were the claims so much that you pushed yourself
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: outside of your normal silo into other areas well.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: If we look at climate change, there are probably thirty
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: or forty different disciplines that are involved climatology, geology, chemistry, meteorology,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: all of those things combined are part of this. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: so I took this just as a scientist. It was
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: with my geologic and scientific background, and I started going
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: into these and frankly, what I found anchored me is
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that most of what we're being told about the climate
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: crisis is just false and that this is my own
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: personal search for the truth. It led me to this
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: because I went back to the base date. I said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to trust anyone. I'm going to look
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: at my own through my own research. And that led
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: me to write my first book, which was Inconvenient Facts,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: which was a runaway bestseller, and it was it was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that that and then my most In that book, I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: pretty much I documented that there is no climate crisis
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and in fact, Earth is getting better. My second book
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that was just published is the name is a very
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Convenient Warming, Now modest warming and more co two are
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: benefiting humanity, and it's the story about the facts of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: what's actually happening. We see by almost every metric we
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: look at, Earth's ecosystems are thriving and prospering, and humanity
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: is benefiting from increasing CO two and modest warming, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it's I call it the greatest untold story of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: twenty first century, that of a thrift and the thriving,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: improving of the human condition. And we should celebrate that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It's just it's it's man life is good in getting better,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and it's it's because of more CO two modest warming.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Means that it's the greatest advantage we're seeing from the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: two of those. Or agriculture that's breaking records year after
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: year after year from the coldest countries to the hottest
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: countries like India, their agricultural spector and productivity or outpacing
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: population growth. Isn't that a good thing that does a really,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: really really good thing. We should celebrate that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Is it an oversimplification to say the Earth is simply
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: being the Earth?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: No, that's that's probably the truth because if we look
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: at the facts, let's let's get to the heart of this.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Is it all goes around carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide or
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: CO two, And this is the other people pushing this
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: climate alarm called the demon molecule, we call it the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: mirror cale molecule. And so everything they're doing for net zero,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: their regulations that were systematically stripping your listeners from their freedoms,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: their freedoms to die. Now, bear with me when I
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: said I'm a big, very big proponent of I'm strongly
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: pro choice. And by saying that, I mean your listeners
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: should have the choice of what kind of car to drive,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: how to heat their home to, what temperature to heat
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: or cool their home. If you look around, look around
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you right now you're in the comfort of your home
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: or your office. Everything you look at, it's based on
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the electricity has been regulated under the bidener orma EPA
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: or Department of Energy. For just your your ceiling fan,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: no more incandescent white bulbs. They're they're limiting what kind
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of washer and dryer you can buy, what dishwasher you
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: can buy, and so they're telling you, for the most part,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: they're much more defensive, they don't use as much energy, probably,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: but they're telling you you should not have the choice
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to buy a dishwasher that can clean your dishes in
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: forty minutes and get them clean instead of a dishwasher
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that takes an hour and a half like ours does,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and they're not so clean. Or flush your toilet two
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: times instead of once and so that's what they're using,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: is all is revolving around carbon dioxide and limitations, and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: so carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It does have
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a warming effect like other greenhouse gases, over which the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: main one is water vapor, but it's very, very very
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: small and overwhelmed by again water vapor and natural forces
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that have been heating and cooling and driving temperatures since
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the dawn of time. And it's just thank god now
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: we're seeing in the Trump administration they're rolling these restrictions back.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: They're taking away these limits of your freedom, allowing us
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the ability to choose what to buy.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Greg, you and I have talked about this a couple
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: times over the years, but I am still convinced that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the rank and file American does not understand the distinction
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. They know that one
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: is used to off yourself. You know, you want to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: kill yourself. You take the gas pipe and you put
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the exhaust pipe rather in your car and you turn
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it on, and you'd kill yourself. And I don't think
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: there's enough understanding of the benefits. You call it the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: miracle molecule. I don't think enough people understand This is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: carbon dioxide, not monoxide.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It doesn't there's
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: no direct harm with increasing carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a poison. It's a balluton that can kill you. So
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: carbon dioxide that's what we're breathing out. It was every
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: you breathe out, you're exhaling about forty thousand parts per
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: million the ambient airror and that if you walk outside
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: right now and if there's a bit of a wind,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you're going to see about four hundred and thirty parts
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: per million and you're exhaling forty thousand. There's no direct
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: harm even if above five thousand parts per million. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: we could carbon diox that could get fifteen to twenty
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: times as high as of this right now, and there's
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: still will be no direct harm. In fact, submarines, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: believe there they limit. There is usually over six thousand
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: parts per million for the sailors or the submariners that
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: are there, because of course you've got forty or fifty
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: men in a submarine and they're all exhaling forty thousand
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: parts per million, and so the air in the submarine
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: they need to keep cleansing the co two in the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: sub but again during over Earth's history, the average of
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: CO two in the atmosphere is twenty six hundred parts
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: per million, six and a half times what it is today.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Life thrive, Plants love more CO two, they do, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: they do. All life thrived at much much higher CO
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: two levels, And so we're actually in a period of
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: CO two starvation. We don't have too much CO two,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: we don't have enough, and that's really what is not understood.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: The other big point that they failed to mention is
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that in my new book, A Very Convenient Warming, I
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: have an entire section devoted to this. One of my
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: favorite subjects is the strong correlation between a relationship between
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: human history and climate temperature history. And we find that
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: each of the previous warming periods, and we are in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: a warming period, by the way, thankfully each of the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: previous warming periods, which is hugely beneficial to humanity. Great
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: empires arose and civilizations arose. But dating back to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: very first in the Bronze Age, the Manilan Warm period, Babylonians, Hittites, Assyrians,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the Horopic Empire in the Indus River Valley. All these
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: first civilizations rose up during a really, really warm time.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: In fact, it was so warm they were growing a
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: crop called millet in Scandinavia would be grown in subtropical areas,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: so we know it was a lot warmer and life
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: was good. And then it started getting cold and mad.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It was horrific every time throughout Earth's history, and it
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: started getting cold. It led to crop failure, famine, pestilence,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and masty population.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Greg let's catch everybody up. What is the CO two Coalition?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the CO two Coalition. We're now nearly two hundred
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: of the top experts and scientists in the world that
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: are skeptic. We pushed back and tell the truth about
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: what's actually happening by climate change. With on our board.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: We've got doctor Patrick Moore, who was a co founder
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: of greenpa Peace believe it or not. We have doctor
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: John klaus or Sits on our board. He was the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Nobel Laureate in physics. So it's hard
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: to call us science deniers. I would call these other
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: people pushing this climate scam. We just talked about human history.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I call them history deniers because they deny what human
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: history tells us. And so it's our mission to promote
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the truth about the benefits mostly of carbon dioxide, but
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: also of modest warming. And so we're pushing back against this.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: We're fighting for your freedoms, for your listeners' freedoms, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: we've been active. Our office is based in the DC
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: area Fairfax, Virginia, and we are actively promoting our politicians
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to enact sound scientists, science based policy, which they haven't before.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: UH again, and we're providing that information directly into the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: hands of people like Lee Zelden at at e p
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: A Environmental Protection Agency, Chris Wright and Energy Doug Bergham
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: an Interior, Sean daff Duffy at Transportation UH. And there
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: they've been bold. They've been just refreshingly aggressive and pushing
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: back against the climate hoax laws and UH, it's it's great.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: For example, at e p A, two days before Lee
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Zelden was sworn in as EPA administrator, they fired every
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: single one of the members of their scientific Advisory Board.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And we were contacted not long after asking us because
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: we're we are the I'm not going to say again
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: we basically, of course, we're the pre eminent scientific organization
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: in the world fighting back against this. UH. And we
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: got a little Birdie whispered in my ear that we
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: should make a list of experts that we could populate
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: these panels with, and so we've provided a list last
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: month of almost fifty highly qualified experts to sit on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: these EPA Scientific Advisory boards. We've written a number of
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: reports by doctor Richard Lindzen of MIT, Steve Coonan who
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: was physics PhD. He was Obama's science advisor, Doctor William Happers,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: our chairman. We published these provided this information to Congress,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: to EPA, Energy Interior and the others to give them
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the information they need to make decisions. And they've been
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: again just almost it's not maybe on a daily basis,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: but almost every week there are new just tremendous either
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: executive orders or things proposed by these agencies, these regulatory
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: agencies to again roll back these restrictions on your listener's freedoms.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And we're proud to do it. It's it might be
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the most important thing I've ever done in my life.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And we're not stopping. We're moving forward. And in fact,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: we've got a series of two sixty second ads right now,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: we're doing polling right now, We're going to be running
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: national television, so hopefully you put on put it on
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: when you tile up Fox. I don't think anybody of
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: your listeners is going to be watching MSNBC unless they're forced.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's where they need to be. The ads
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: need to be there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Yep, exactly. And so we're doing polling right now. Hopefully
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: within thirty days we'll be able to roll this out.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be starting. It's not cheap, it's not
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: inexpensive to do these We're talking about millions of dollars.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: But I think people would be motivated to get that
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: truth out. Surely there's a billionaierror or billionaierrors out there
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: that would love to say, look what I you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: here's here's X dollars. I want this. I want this
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: information out in the public. I wanted on MSNBC. I
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: want it on CNN. UH. And we're well also the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: other uh, non standard, tell, Hulu whatever. We're going to
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: get it out there. And I believe when I talk
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to people, I find that people are just thirsty for
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: this information that we provide as thirsty because they've never
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: heard it, and we need to. Once we get this
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: information out there, it's game over for the climate crisis.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Climate industrial complex is what I call it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Greg, I gotta go. We're up against the news break.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the time this morning and friends, the executive
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: director CO two Coalition CO two Coalition dot org. You
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: can donate and support the cause right there, Greg Ridestone,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: my guest here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott
