### Ian Plimer Climate Change Argument

- **Episode:** [1705: Kamplaining](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1705-kamplaining.md)
- **Published:** 2024-10-20
- **Time:** 2:44:27–2:46:48
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1705-kamplaining/chapter/ian-plimer-climate-change-argument.md

Geologist Ian Plimer's arguments against catastrophic global warming are presented, focusing on the historical context of temperature measurements. Plimer argues that the planet has been cooling for 4,000 years and that recent warming is merely a recovery from the "Little Ice Age" that ended in 1850.

### Ian Plimer Deconstructs the 97 Percent Consensus Claim

- **Episode:** [1122: Cyclogenesis](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1122-cyclogenesis.md)
- **Published:** 2019-03-21
- **Time:** 1:37:24–1:39:51
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1122-cyclogenesis/chapter/ian-plimer-deconstructs-the-97-percent-consensus-claim.md

Australian geologist Ian Plimer challenges the widely cited statistic that 97% of scientists agree on human-driven climate change. Plimer traces the number back to a University of Queensland survey where, out of thousands of respondents, only 77 were specifically selected for the final metric, and 75 of those agreed with the consensus. He argues the figure is a result of statistical manipulation rather than a broad scientific survey.

### Cliff Mass Weather Blog and Climate Change History

- **Episode:** [1069: German SPAM](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1069-german-spam.md)
- **Published:** 2018-09-17
- **Time:** 32:58–34:42
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1069-german-spam/chapter/cliff-mass-weather-blog-and-climate-change-history.md

The Cliff Mass Weather and Climate Blog is recommended as a source for objective meteorological data. The hosts discuss how Mass, a climatologist, is often labeled a "Trump apologist" for debunking claims that storms are becoming more frequent or severe. They also feature a clip from Professor Ian Plimer regarding the geological history of natural climate cycles.

### Ian Plimer, Geological Climate History, Solar Influence

- **Episode:** [902: Morally Obtuse](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/902-morally-obtuse.md)
- **Published:** 2017-02-09
- **Time:** 1:54:01–2:01:57
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/902-morally-obtuse/chapter/ian-plimer-geological-climate-history-solar-influence.md

Australian geologist Ian Plimer argues that climate change is a natural, geological process driven primarily by solar cycles and orbital changes rather than CO2. Plimer asserts that current CO2 levels are at a historical low and that the gas is essential plant food rather than a pollutant. He points out that past ice ages occurred when CO2 levels were significantly higher than they are today, challenging the consensus on man-made global warming.
