I only had to withstand 7:28 before I'd seen enough non-factual information pawned off as legitimate science before I cut my losses and bailed.
I'm reluctant to waste any time rebutting Mr. Davidson's video.He immediately fails the Richard Feynman admonition to explore every possible reason one could be wrong before ever mentioning their 'science.'
Virtually nothing above 17-kilometers altitude has anything to do with climate.Climate is a creature of the troposphere.Period!
The 97% of flawed climate models have worked adequately well enough to accurately predict major climate events since 1980.Ockham's Razor requires nothing more.Although,every year the models get better, computers get faster,and there's more and better data to work with (about 100,000 weather monitoring stations).
Davidson can't even get solar total absolute irradiance correct.
The magnetosphere as nothing to do with climate.
Telluric currents have nothing to do with climate.
Galactic cosmic rays are basically deflected by even a weak solar wind over a billion miles from Earth.
The interplanetary electric field is not separate from our solar system,we're embedded within it.Always have been.
Clouds have always been part of climate models.
Volcanoes are included in climate models.
Corrections for urban heat island effects were done by James E.Hansen before
the expression was ever widely used.
Scientists know all they need to know about natural variability.
It is absolutely false to claim that we get more solar total absolute irradiance within an 11-year cycle.Sun spots have very little to do with irradiance.Ben Davidson has yet to use the scientific vocabulary which would actually explain solar dynamics.
Solar forcing constitutes ten percent that of anthopogenic forcing.It's virtually meaningless.
Ben Davidson needs to come back down to Earth.He's obviously oxygen starved.
I'll bet $100 that you'll never see his material published in NATURE or SCIENCE.
