## Chapters 1–3 of 3

### Scientific Consensus, 1989 UN Global Warming Predictions

- **Episode:** [1090: Truth Tell](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1090-truth-tell.md)
- **Published:** 2018-11-30
- **Time:** 55:50–58:23
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1090-truth-tell/chapter/scientific-consensus-1989-un-global-warming-predictions.md

The hosts challenge the notion of a total scientific consensus on climate change, citing a letter signed by 30,000 dissenting scientists. They revisit a 1989 Reuters report where a UN official predicted that entire nations would be wiped out by the year 2000 if global warming was not reversed. The reliance on computer simulations for long-term environmental forecasting is criticized as unreliable.

### Climate Model Simulations and Probability Scales

- **Episode:** [552: Almost Certain = Fact!](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/552-almost-certain-fact.md)
- **Published:** 2013-09-29
- **Time:** 1:21:29–1:25:33
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/552-almost-certain-fact/chapter/climate-model-simulations-and-probability-scales.md

The hosts examine the methodology of the IPCC report, which relies heavily on computer simulations and "qualitative levels of confidence." They explain that the widely cited "95% certainty" figure is an extrapolation of the term "extremely likely" rather than a direct statistical fact. They argue the report is based on consensus and agreement rather than definitive proof.

### Michio Kaku Explains Hurricane Sandy Meteorological Collision

- **Episode:** [457: Giblet in EUROLand](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/457-giblet-in-euroland.md)
- **Published:** 2012-11-01
- **Time:** 1:17–5:38
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/457-giblet-in-euroland/chapter/michio-kaku-explains-hurricane-sandy-meteorological-collision.md

Physicist Michio Kaku appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper to explain the unique formation of Hurricane Sandy as a collision of three distinct air masses. The storm resulted from a tropical hurricane merging with an Arctic jet stream and a western storm, creating a massive weather system 800 miles across. Kaku noted that current computer simulations struggle to model such complex three-way atmospheric collisions accurately.
