the danger would be thousands and thousands of people freezing this winter in europe because europe is abandoning proven energy sources. just like covid, this is going this show will look at what the actual times are telling us and one graph better than any that we have seen in recent years shows this. atmospheric science professor john christy from the university of alabama says recent climate model predictions failed miserably to predict reality. making them inappropriate to use. the miserable failure is displayed in this graphic you see here. the yellow line that you see is what the climate models predicted in terms of temperature increases over the past 50 years. the blue line, that s what happened. joining me now is the man who put the data together, climatologist at the university of alabama in huntsville. he s also the state s official climatologist.
doctor, let me start by playing devil s advocate. is it really so bad to overstate temperature increases if it makes people act more responsibly. you are ascribing motive to what someone might say and when i would say. let s look at the data as they are. let s test the claims that people make about the climate itself. i am one of those people that builds data sets to test those claims and as you can see from the one on the screen that was shown, the models, the theory, it s not doing very well and described with the climate is doing. laura: the one thing for viewers, that the doomsayers consistently get wrong. the temperature increase. what is it? i think it s more that natural disasters that we hear about, hurricanes, flooding. if you took a very careful look with consistent data over long
back but we ve got to the point we need to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to keep temperature increases to the limit of 1.5 centigrade which the sign to say what kind of keep climate change within safe limits. in a sense we have some boundaries but it does not mean there is no hope. justin, thank you. in afghanistan, secret schools are being set up to educate girls whom the taliban are not allowing back into the classroom. the leadership continues to insist girls secondary schools will eventually re open, but many afghans are losing hope. secunder kermani has been to one secret school and sent this report. hidden away in a residential neighbourhood. ..a small but powerful act of defiance. these teenage girls like most in the country have not been allowed back to school by the taliban. ..so they re attending lessons secretly.
natural disaster these climate fatalists they hop up on soapboxes and tell us the world is going to end. we saw this dramatic shift, which, again, suggests introduce climate change could play a role in all of this. the last two years the lurk season has been so active they ran out of letters in the alphabet used to name storms. as are carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels increase in the atmosphere they are leading to temperature increases and as temperatures rise, we are going to start to see really extreme kinds of weather. some of this would happen without our human caused emissions that are fueling and driving climate change. jesse: the message is always clear. this will happen again unless we immediately shut down our coal plants, stop drilling and start eating those impossible burgers. they say we only have a few years left here on earth so, you know, the science. well, i have got some bad news for them. it appears the science as it
