Description: A Youtuber called The Academic Agent made a video about climate change that I criticized. In response, he asked if he could pose a number of questions sent in by climate change critics, so this video covers the first few. This arose out of my criticism of his video here: youtube.com/watch?v=AW8QkIKcZBE His interview with me is here: youtube.com/watch?v=8ncwHPNjP-Q Willie Soon's original graph can be found in his paper: "Variable solar irradiance as a plausible agent for multidecadal variations in the Arcticwide surface air temperature record of the past 130 years" (Geophysical Research Letters 2005) The actual measurements of solar output by satellite, shown on the Max Plank Institute website, here: mpg.de/11447068/climate-engine-earth Wattsupwtihthat solar output: wattsupwiththat.com/2013/04/29/russian-scientists-say-period-of-global-cooling-ahead-due-to-changes-in-the-sun The charity I strongly endorse is called ASRI. It’s a hospital in Borneo that provides affordable health care to villages on the edge of a national park in return for a pledge not to cut down trees, The pledges are monitored,a nd the result is a dramatic decrease in deforestation rates and an increase in the health of the local population. The founders are hoping to spread the idea to other countries. (see psmag.com/social-justice/save-the-trees-well-save-your-life-46121 for an explanation of their work.)
