Comments by "Jason Dashney" (@jasondashney) on "This Will Be My Most Disliked Video On YouTube | Climate Change" video.
The entire Internet and entire mass media is absolutely filled with climate change doom and gloom stuff every minute of every day. I’m not sure how you could possibly have missed it.

Thank you. There’s a wonderful channel called CDN that breaks down a lot of this stuff. It’s not a conspiracy channel or anything like that at all. It just gives great explanations of the other side of the story and I welcome the other perspective because they make a ton of really good points. It points out tons of flaws in the IPCC data, including cherry picking and inconsistencies and predictions that never seem to hit the mark. It sucks that I can’t find a single source of climate information that isn’t very firmly in one camp or the other. Maybe Bjorn Lomborg would be the best example of someone who should be listened to intently. i’m completely agnostic about the whole climate issue, because both sides make very good points, but I’m even more sceptical of the climate crisis crowd, because of all the nonsense and chicanery that goes on, including the trail of money, and hypocrisy of people pounding the table about this yet not acting like it. Don’t go flying a private jet around to your five mansions all over the world while telling us we need to reduce. Beat it.

I need to create money is actually saving people by the hundreds of millions, not killing them. Over the last two decades, worldwide extreme poverty has absolutely plummeted. The number of people dying of starvation has plummeted way faster than the United Nations had hoped for in goals they set out decades ago. The pursuit of money is absolutely not evil. Dumping toxic chemicals into rivers in pursuit of money is evil, but money in and of itself is the best possible thing that can happen to poor countries and living standards and mortality rates. The fastest way to eliminate dire poverty is to get poor people, cheap, reliable energy as quickly as possible. It’s absolutely not possible to deny them the basics that you take for granted, while simultaneously claiming to be a humanitarian. End of story. I don’t mean you personally, I just mean that usually the same types of people who claim to be humanitarian are also the ones that are trying to deny impoverished nations the ability to use fossil fuels to get themselves out of extremely dire conditions, and it’s completely inhumane. It’s also hypocritical from these people because they live in countries like Germany who refuse African loans when it comes to helping them get cheap energy, yet they are importing more coal right now because they won’t let their standard of living drop one iota. They are disgusting hypocrites.

I love this channel and have been a subscriber since the early days, but I’m not gonna pretend that this wasn’t a biased video. It presented one side of the story so by very definition it was biased. It did not mention that the world is greening, because the tree line is moving north, nor all the species that benefit from it. It was only doom and gloom. It also didn’t mention the extreme problems with consistency and accuracy of IPCC reports. I take everything with a grain of salt that only presents one side of any issue.

And right now, all of the money is in the climate change narrative.

Maybe if any of the people pounding the table for this actually lived like they thought it was a problem, maybe I would care more. When people fly around in private jets to their mansions all over the world while talking about how we need to cut everything back, while they simultaneously make a very good living off of the narrative, I will continue with my scepticism. Until they stop with fear mongering, I will remain skeptic. They are now calling it global boiling. I could not roll my eyes hard enough. Until the people pounding the table about it stop buying beachfront property while simultaneously talking about how the world’s oceans are gonna rise and flood coastal cities, I’ll remain a skeptic. Until people start talking about both sides of the issue, Lakehouse on species are helping how the world is actually greening, I’ll remain a skeptic.
