Thank you, neighbour! And, it was my pleasure.
Your apt quip: “… they really need to come back down to the planet earth… .” reminded me of something….. YES! ANOTHER VIDEO!
Let’s hope Will Smith is there to greet those Science Frauds when they return:

Greatest Scientific Achievement?
I choose the manipulation of glass, a common material in a huge number of scientific tools, which in turn produced even more scientific achievement.

Again we face the issue of technological vs. scientific discovery. But the abundant element silicon has certainly played a key role throughout both technological & scientific history. From flint tools in the Paleolithic, through glass in the Neolithic (or Bronze & Iron Ages) to semiconductors in the industrial & information ages, silicon in its various compounds & alloys has been our friend from the crust of the earth.

PS: What we call chips now are the technological distant descendants of the flakes chipped off the flint & obsidian of our Old Stone Age ancestors’ tools. Likewise the lenses that were high tech in the 17th century for telescopes & microscopes are their nearer ancestors.

Nah, I got nothing – I wanted to add my voice to the many here saying this guy is delusional, but just couldn’t think of anything sensible to say in response to this pile of manure and I don’t want to swear.
I don’t imagine he can walk, talk and breath at the same time without running out of brain cells though.

Truly awful. A high speed gimmick-laden gabble seemingly designed for someone with the attention span of a gnat.
The world is still waiting for a proper televised debate between those who think we face danger from CO2 emissions and those who don’t.

After having lost a hard and protracted battle with reality,
it is time for climate science to rise to the next level.
IT IS TIME FOR CLIMATE SCIENCE TO BECOME A CULT
In long, flowing green robes,
climate scientists will move through airports
on the way to the next climate conference.
Can you imaging the visual excitement
when a group dressed in flowing orange robes sings “Hare! Hare!” while a group dressed in flowing green, the grand priests of climate, crosses them, singing “Rising! Rising!”?

You lost me after saying…(me deciphering this GIS/IPCC=flat earth/ECONGO>corp./grant seeking climate science talk) “This is not about using scientific method or real data, this is about what ifs, maybes and bigfoot.”
Lets forget about,,
17 years no significant rise in temp., and 8 years of a slight drop……
70’s ice age scare from pollution..
CO2 density..
The #1 greenhouse gas…
Manipulated NASA data..
Manipulated ARGO data..
Manipulated/sensor failing Cryosphere Today data..
MISSING REAL DATA……..
Meh!
Laws of thermodynamics.
.
So on the same thinking,
This message is not about discussing whether you believe you are an idiot……lets just all assume you are!
BAZINGA!
Happy 4 of July my American friends!
I put up with two minutes of the irritating little twerp. When will makers of videos realise that sudden flashing images are painful for people with impaired eyesight?
By the way, the greatest invention since the wheel is WD40.
The obvious great scientific discoveries noted here all rely on the onset of technology. The wheel, the plow, Archimedes’ screw, metallurgy, shoes…
Beer though, is the single-most significant creation of mankind.
Second is Representative Government.

To which I would add private property.
Your point about basic technology is well taken, although the first two great achievements of the Scientific Revolution (Copernicus’ heliocentric astronomical departure from Ptolemy & Vesalius’ anatomical departures from Galen), while within the Early Modern technological milieu, were based upon simple naked eye observation & a willingness to question received authority, plus in Copernicus’ case, mathematics. The same is true for Kepler (reliant on Tycho’s naked eye observations of Mars), but in Galileo’s case the advanced technology of lenses was essential.

@ur momisugly Chad, thanks for your graciously forbearing to embarrass me yesterday, but, (yeah, it didn’t occur to me until I was eating breakfast this morning), as you no doubt well knew, it was Rossini…. ROSSINI…….. RRRRROSEEEEEEEEEEEEENI………. who wrote “The William Tell Overture.” There, the record has been corrected and I FEEL BETTER.

Actually, I found this strangely informative…
If you watch with a detached curiosity, you notice he speaks too fast to engage the audience in a thoughtful way (i.e. word vomit), expresses his “scientific” ideas with a lot of hand waving (watch the monkey, nothing going on here…), and references things like “social cause”.
This behavior seems more or less universal to AGW proponents. They don’t like details, or engaging people in thought, and feel the science isn’t worthwhile unless it is used to change social behavior. I.e. they are political activists, not scientists. They create videos designed to entertain rather then inform.
