Nobel Laureate in Physics; “Global Warming is Pseudoscience”

Professor Ivar Giaever, the 1973 Nobel Prizewinner for Physics trashes the global warming/climate change/extreme weather pseudoscientific clap-trap and tells Obama he is “Dead Wrong”.
This was the 2012 meeting of Nobel Laureates.
The 2015 speech by Prof Giaever is here;

  1. Why would a Nobel Prize winner in physics be asked to provide expertise on on Earth/Environmental science? Physics is a totally different discipline. You might as well ask the opinion of a Nobel Peace Prize winner. So ask Obama, and he says global warming due to CO2 is a real deal.

  2. Wow! A Nobel Laureate!
    Oh wait… he's just one of 3 guys that received the shared prize. And its in condensed matter physics which has literally nothing to do with anything even peripherally related to global warming.
    So you're beginning this with a pile of irrelevance and lies? and you expect us to think there's some kind of truth in this video?
    Fuck off.

  3. fungussa below needs to understand that uv output of the sun is the driver of ozone levels ,not the other way around.

  4. He learned what he knows about the subject in less than a day….on Google. But he questions the data of the majority of specialists in the field.

  5. Everyone that thinks climate change is a hoax because carbon dioxide because it's a trace gas should drink a trace amount of arsenic and see what happens. You get to test your theory that trace amounts of anything are harmless and the rest of us will have an easier time making sure this planet can sustain human life in a future without you, so it's win-win. We can all be happy if you just drink some arsenic!

  6. The sad truth is people in the street have LITTLE knowledge on Science…that cannot even cook for themselves ( Home Science) so they follow what is fed to them.
    WELL SAID.THANK YOU!!!

  7. somebody who has limited years left in their life declares something that will not affect him is false. seems legit.

  8. Thankfully Donald Trump will eventually put an end to the sheer waste of trillions of dollars that could be better spent saving lives in many ways. The scammers are very worried because the fact that Trump was voted in shows that public opinion is changing and fewer are still gullible enough to be fooled by blankets in the sky supposedly formed by 0.04% of the atmosphere that is carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases are more like holes in a blanket, being the only ones that can radiate energy from the atmosphere back to Space, as NASA energy diagrams show happens. They also absorb 19% of incident solar radiation, thus acting like an umbrella, as is obvious when the most prolific greenhouse gas by far, water vapor, forms clouds.

  9. Non-science. This old guy is not an expert on the science, and frankly seems out of touch. Sorry, you have got to have EVIDENCE, not just a related old pedigree and an angry opinion.

  10. Meanwhile, in reality, a one trillion ton iceberg the size of Delaware just broke off the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica yesterday.

  11. This is a Laureate in Physics. That basically the science least related to the concept of global warning. Even a Laureate in Chemistry would be a better choice to get an interview from.

  12. this man is a fool or he has some agenda…..and it's global climate change….not global warming………..there are mountains of data, papers, research and hard science proof that this planet and our world is in a GLOBAL CLIMATE EMERGENCY .that not only is changing the climate but WILL DESTROY CIVILIZATION AND RESULT A HUGE EXTINCTION EVENT in probably 10 years plus or minus.

  13. To him is pseudoscience. That's it, to him. Anyway he won't probably be here to see global warmingt on next 50 years so he can think whatever he wants. He doesn't care.

  14. Why does this matter? if this man had taken a look at the studies on climate change and actually challenged the science that would be great, this however is just silly. If anyone talked about his work in such general and uninformed way he would most likely sue that person!
    Debunking Al Gores film ffs that film it is not science !!
    Even I and I'm not a nobel winner just s dumb schmuck with a computer and a general interest in nature documentaries and I know about co2 and warming the correlation is staggering, And since this old man have not even bothered to read a single published paper on the subject his opinion is not worth much.
    If you want to trash science you prove that it is wrong with science not opinions.
    But opinions is all he stating here no science at all.
