Professor Richard Lindzen on Climate Change: Never Take Yourself So Seriously That You Have To Invent Problems
Atmospheric scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen explains in the interview that the current warming and climate change are nowhere near 
posing an existential threat to us.

Extreme weather linked to man-made climate change-Dr. Richard Lindzen, an atmospheric physicist and professor emeritus at the 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), cannot think of better evidence that shows the climate crisis is a fake issue. "Issue 
after issue of these IPCC (UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - HS) reports, they always looked - is there any relation 
between extreme weather and their metric for climate. And they always find there is no statistically significant relation," he 
explains.

However, some people are so concerned about the ways to push climate change and CO2 reduction that they are going out of their 
minds, according to Lindzen. "They're showing this temperature graph. And I think they're realizing people are saying, you know, 
you draw it like this (going sharply up - HS), but this is one degree. That's not much. And they're worried: this is not getting 
people worried enough. So they're saying: well, showing them a flood, showing them a storm, that would be visually convincing," he 
says. And as it happens, there are always places on Earth that suffer from extreme weather in a way that occurs only once in a 
hundred years. "And people don't figure it out that a once in a hundred years event is occurring some place on Earth every month, 
or five places every month. You have a picture of that. You now put that on television and you can associate 'climate change' with 
something dramatic," Lindzen says. "The fact that they had to go to that to convince people suggests it was a fake issue because 
they're clearly using something that would be normally called false advertising," he adds.

In the interview, Lindzen discusses extensively what climate scientists know about climate change and its processes, as well as the 
half-truths and outright lies propagated by those proclaiming a climate crisis. He addresses topics such as the limited capacity of 
CO2 to warm the planet and its actual role on Earth, the limited warming not actually being an existential threat to us, the 
absurdity of climate policies, and the future of energy.
