Climate change is one of the most debated topics of our time — and yet the debate is often conducted within a surprisingly narrow frame. A geologist who has been researching climate questions since the late 1970s raises, in a short video, questions that rarely find space in public discourse: what does Earth’s geological history actually tell us about CO2?

Okay, let’s be clear upfront: The tone here isn’t for everyone. Some people read this and think: “Wow, what a cynic.” Others think: “Finally, someone who actually says it.” If you belong to the first group, don’t worry.

The Statements: Fact-Checking # In April 2024, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made waves in an interview with Glenn Beck. His words were clear: The World Economic Forum is a “Billionaires’ Boys Club” that systematically shifts wealth upward and installs totalitarian controls.
