So what do you make of the theory that catastrophic manmade CO2-driven "climate change" can account for harsher winters and lighter winters, more snow and less snow, droughts and floods, more hurricanes and less hurricanes, more rain and less rain, more malaria and less malaria, saltier seas and less salty seas, Antarctica ice melting and Antarctic ice gaining and dozens of other contradictions? Popper gave a name to "theories" like this: pseudoscience.

TRANSCRIPT

One of the giants in the history of the philosophy of science, Karl Popper, once famously observed that a theory that explains everything explains nothing.

And, to be sure, the theory of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change appears to explain everything.

After all, we all know that climate change makes for shorter winters . . . except for when it makes for harsher winters.

And climate change means less snow . . . except for when climate change means more snow.

And climate change causes droughts in California and floods in Texas and Oklahoma, and generally makes wet places wetter and dry places drier, except when it makes wet places drier and dry places wetter.

And climate change causes more hurricanes at the same time as it causes fewer hurricanes.

Climate change causes more rain, but less water? . . .  And less rain, but more water?

Climate change decreases the spread of malaria at the same time as it increases the spread of malaria. (But don't worry! The Terminator himself advises us not to listen to those climate change cynics, hey guys?)
