0:00.0	You said that climate science is the biggest cult in scientific history. Why do you say that?
0:07.0	Because it's costing the planet trillions. There's a very large body of people out there
0:13.0	who actually are using science to promote scams. It's absolutely crippling Western countries
0:19.0	who are going down this path because you cannot run an
0:22.4	industrial economy on sea breezes and sunbeams.
0:26.4	What you're saying is there have been times in the history of this planet when there's
0:29.9	been hundreds of times more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there is today.
0:34.2	Yes. We've had times in the past when the carbon dioxide kind of the atmosphere was at least 10%
0:39.3	and perhaps 20% compared with 0.04%.
0:43.3	And what did we have then?
0:45.3	We had the biggest ice age as this planet's ever enjoyed.
0:47.3	On the one hand, you say it's not commensurate with the science.
0:51.3	On the other hand, you're the only scientist who's been saying this for a long time. How do you explain that? Before we start, a very quick recommendation,
1:02.2	we know our audience, and every so often something comes along that we think you'll genuinely
1:07.2	want to see. October 8 is a documentary you can watch today on Amazon Prime, Apple TV or YouTube
1:13.1	premium.
1:13.7	It looks at the explosion of anti-Semitism on college campuses and across social media in the
1:18.4	aftermath of the October 7 attacks and examines how extremist networks and foreign actors
1:24.0	have shaped narratives inside American institutions and public discourse,
1:28.6	featuring interviews with prominent voices from politics, media and culture. It asks serious
1:33.6	questions about how we got here and what it means for the future. If you care about what's
1:38.7	happening in our culture right now, this film is worth your time. Head to October 8 film.com to find out more.
