um... Could you please point out where in that link you posted it shows ANYTHING that I said was wrong?

I said he got a degree in physics 50 years ago and hasn't worked in the field since. That page shows that he got a degree in physics 50 years ago and hasn't worked in the field since.

I said he works in marketing; that page says he works in the "corporate office" of Eurochannel (A TV station).

I originally got my information from his LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-catt-05872/

And I do not "believe anything the government will tell you". *I* believe in the collective wisdom of experts in the field, who universally agree on human-caused climate change. *YOU* however, will believe anyone who confirms what you want to believe (and falsely elevate that person to "Expert" regardless of their qualifications)

Also, here's another article correcting that guy: https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/news/countering-bogus-climate-claims-made-on-british-television/

I beg to differ about the temperature. Orange Beach in Alabama used to grow oranges. So did most of Florida. Now oranges cannot be grown that far north due to colder temps. So I'm confused about higher temperatures. Also ocean rising. I have actually studied aerial photos of islands in the Pacific ocean and they have not shrunk AT ALL!! I agree the climate is changing. Just like it has since records began.


The name of Orange Beach was just for marketing. I could find no word of successful attempts to grow oranges there. https://www.rbfishingcharters.com/gulf-shores-orange-beach-fun-facts/ (Item #6)

The reason why orange can't be grown is Florida is not because it's "colder" (in general), but because the weather is less predictable. The (slight) rise in the overall temperature is completely disrupting the weather patterns we've come to rely on for the past centuries. So now we may see an early spring (starting the growing season), followed by a sudden frost, killing the plants that just started growing.

You have to watch where you step when following the colt.
It is better to get a saddle and ride him.
Does questioning my education imply that you have an advanced degree?

I think "Q" university has more advanced courses than even tRump University had.

Really? You think you're able to judge sea level rise based on your nosing through some photos while NASA is using highly sophisticated satellites to be able to accurately measure this phenomenon? By the way, do you know that sea level rise varies over the globe and some spots are even showing lower levels? Probably not...

It’s obvious you don’t have an education the way you respond and talk.

The NASA that murdered 14 astronauts? That NASA? Why are we supposed to trust them?

Calling him a "Physicist" is a bit of a stretch. He got his undergraduate degree in physics 50 years ago, but has, apparently, never worked in the field. For the last 35 years, at least, he's worked in marketing.

Basically, during the last 10,000 years, we were very slowly getting colder, as we move towards the next ice age (at least 1500 years in the future), reaching the coldest it's been in the time frame about 1850. Then over the next 170 years, the temperature very dramatically shot up, now reaching near the hottest it's been in the last 10,000 years. So, while what he said might be technically true, it's very definitely (and deliberately) misleading.

I looked at the article and it certainly appears Brian Catt (the denier) does not know what he is talking about.
He (Catt) provided questionable data colored by pre-biased opinions and has made faulty conclusions based upon those opinions.

Some (many?) people, including a few on the the Hedgehog Forum, choose to deny verifiable evidence amassed by not just a few scientists.

The overwhelming quantity of data shows a rapid, recent, short-term temperature increase. A temperature change that is directly attributable to alterations caused by human actions. Not volcanos, not Milankovitch-cycles, not in solar-output levels — but in changes to the atmosphere caused by human activity.

It appears many people are more comfortable with denying factual, verifiable evidence than accepting that humankind is capable of making major climatic alteration.

A reminder of that denialist folly would be the evidence concerning the ozone depletion caused by chlorofluorocarbons and the healing results after the chemicals were banned.

Why is it that it is always the cult morons that classify those that have a different view of issues as “deniers”? That’s a tactic of a fascist.

People who can actually analyze facts and data may easily perceive there are individuals who are actively denying those same facts and data.

Those individuals who look at the amount of data showing something — then proclaim something exactly opposite — are denying reality. THEY ARE DENIERS.

If you look at the totality of the evidence and opinions of the majority of informed, reasoning, scientifically literate persons in the world and proclaim an obvious climatic alteration is not and has not occurred — YOU ARE A DENIER.

If you observe recorded, factual, observed historical temperature and atmospheric composition data (backed up by overwhelming data from things like ice-cores or other sources) yet proclaim there has NOT been a recent change in the planets climate and atmosphere — YOU ARE A DENIER.

There is nothing at all fascist about that, it is just an undeniable fact you and some others are incapable of rationally assessing evidence.

See this is where you lose all credibility when you classify someone as a climate denier when many if not most do not deny that the climate has change. I have no reason to doubt that the climate has changed, has always change this change for billions of years. This is no different than those past changes in the climate. Nobody denies that climate change they just oppose or deny the way you believe it has changed. And yes, it is fascist to demonize somebody by classifying them as a “denier” to shut the conversation down just because they don’t believe the way you do when it comes to climate change. Once again, the climate has changed as it has for billions of years, and is no different now than it was in the past.

No, it is SUBSTANIALLY different than the past changes in climate. That's the ENTIRE point of the debate. THAT is why we call you "deniers".

No, it is factually accurate to call people "deniers" when they deny well-establish factual information.

However, it is fascist to demonize somebody by calling them "moronic" to shut the conversation down --- which you do regularly.

That's pure BS lies, it has been much hotter in the far past than it is now and it has also been much colder in the past than it has since when have been recording temps. This earth has experienced at LEAST 4-5 ices ages and warming stages and this is no different. It's always the fascists climate cultist pushing this BS that this is caused man, just pure BS to take control over the masses. Again, only fascist pigs who call other "deniers", they do that to shut down speech.

By the way, it's idiotic to classify anyone as a climate change denier when they in fact don't deny that the climate changes and has changed. Makes no sense, but then again Lefty fascist rarely ever makes sense.
