Cosmos Host Tyson Proclaims Global Warming Theory as Fact
Written by Thomas Richard, CCD Editor on May 29, 2014.
National Geographic just released a clip from an episode of Cosmos airing this Sunday. In it, host Neil DeGrasse Tyson takes climate change head on. Sadly, he fails miserably from start to finish. Even from the short snippet that NatGeo released, it's clear that Tyson has thrown out the scientific method and continues pushing the radical left-wing Hollywood-esque agenda.
In what can only be described as the most inexplicable explanation of weather versus climate, Cosmos' host Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains that weather is like a dog on a leash. And Tyson, who is walking in a straight line with the aforementioned dog on leash, is climate. This is known as similes on steroids.
Tyson says, “Weather is hard to predict, like my friend [dog] here."
Here are the problems with this example: weather is not something that's on a leash that can be controlled by man or anything else. It's unpredictable, always will be, and if Tyson had actually let the dog off the leash, Fido would likely go running off into the dunes.
But, Tyson says, "Climate is predictable. Climate has changed many times over the long history of the Earth — but always in response to a global force.”
Climate, he explains, is "the average weather over the course of years." This weather is what "reveals a pattern. I represent that long-term trend, which is climate."
What Tyson fails to tell his audience is that temperature have not gone up in nearly 18 years years or risen concomitantly with the minuscule increase in CO2. By cherry-picking start - and end-points on a timeline, anyone can say that global warming is occurring.
Except it isn't.
“The strongest force driving climate change right now is the increase in CO2 and the burning of fossil fuels, which is trapping more heat from the sun," Tyson states. "All that additional energy has to go somewhere. Some of it warms the air. Most of it ends up in the oceans. All over the world, the oceans are getting warmer.”
Again, simply not true. Ocean temperatures have neither gone up in any statistical fashion. Contrary to Tyson's comment that most of the heat is being absorbed by the oceans, that is a computer model theory and not based on observed data. Any increase is far less than the margin of error for the measuring instruments.
