Nobel laureate Ivar Giaever's speech at the Nobel Laureates meeting 1st July 2015. In this 30 minute lecture, Ivar points out the mistakes which then President Obama made in his speeches about global warming, and shares other not-well known facts about the state of the climate.
He notes:
"To my surprise both "alarmist" and "deniers" accept the fact that uou can measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year to a fraction of a degree and that result is significant."
He asks:
"Consider a really large room - 20 sq. ft., 10 ft. tall. Imagine you wanted to create in this room the same CO2 emission that all the cars in the whole world belch into the atmosphere during a whole year. How many matches would you need to burn daily, weekly, or in total over the whole year, to inflict on the big room what all the world's "evil" cars are doing to the atmosphere in a year."
Ivar Giaever is a Norwegian-American physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973. Giaever has repeatedly professed skepticism of global warming, calling it a "new religion."
