Every time I discuss climate change on this channel, I get rafts of people saying it’s fake, and rafts of other people saying it’s going to lead to full-on human extinction. These arguments often focus on one area, one graph, one phenomenon. But how about if we stepped back and looked at the fundamental scientific case being made by each perspective to see how well they hold up? Stop looking at trees, and start looking at forests? Let’s give it a go. We cover the elements of climate change that have to be in place to conclude whether or not greenhouse gases and CO2 constitute the best current theory to match the facts. We cover the role of conspiracy theory in the anti-global warming ideas, and the role of outliers and unspecified risk factors in the apocalyptic perspective. We mention Tony Heller on the one side, Guy McPherson and Extinction Rebellion on the other. The Mallen Baker Show is aimed at all people who see themselves as change makers, with commentary on issues and change movements with a particular focus on climate change and environment, social issues, free speech and corporate social responsibility.

A split in the EU over oil sanctions over Ukraine and a panic at the White House over being blamed for dead Russian generals. Elections in the UK, and primaries in the US give clues on the fate of Boris Johnson and Donald Trump. The aftermath of the draft Roe v Wade judgement continue to send shockwaves through the US. We look at how much India is following China’s lead on digital censorship and autocracy. And in this weeks short thought, how rational discussion has been squashed once again by ideology and wishful thinking.
