Denis Rancourt is one of my favourite scientists. His work on the COVID™ fear campaign, vaccines included, is some of the best I’ve seen and it’s been a privilege listening to him break it all apart.
Consensus isn’t science
The scientific consensus is that climate change is a phenomenon driven by human activities, primarily via burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation.
But it’s all nonsense.
Consensus isn’t science.
Science is based on empirical evidence, observation and experimentation, not on the agreement of a group of people. One hundred scientists might agree on something, but all one hundred scientists might be wrong. Science is about discovering truths through testing and validation, not about popularity or majority rule.
So, to think that consensus is science is not only absurd but also dangerous. It undermines the fundamental principles of scientific inquiry (and the scientific method).
Climate change is natural
Climate change is a natural and cyclical phenomenon that has occurred throughout Earth’s history. Consider historical climate variability and natural factors like solar activity and volcanic eruptions as major drivers of climate patterns.
Moreover, there is a difference between pollution and climate change, which Denis notes.
Pollution is, basically, harmful or toxic substances in the environment that cause damage to the natural world and can adversely affect human health.
But pollution doesn’t change Earth’s temperature.
The changing of Earth’s temperature is largely driven by the sun (and clouds).
Humans pollute.
Humans do not cause climate change.

I think the climate is changing because of natural variability. I think mankind has been adapting to climate as long as the human race has existed.
