Senator Malcolm Roberts, an Australian politician, challenges the claims of the climate change movement. His research and engineering background led him to believe that carbon dioxide is not a dangerous gas and that climate alarmism is a pretext for controlling people and the energy supply. Roberts criticizes the destructive impact of climate alarmism on people's mental health and the environment. He argues that subsidies and shutting down coal plants are driving up electricity prices artificially, which is driving down the manufacturing sector and causing harm to the economy in Australia. However, he believes that more people are waking up to the alleged climate change scam and resisting paying more for electricity. Roberts also criticizes the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for being a government propaganda outfit.

00:00:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts, an Australian politician, shares about his educational and professional background, particularly his training and experience as a mining engineer. He emphasizes the importance of applying scientific knowledge and the critical role of engineers in ensuring safety and minimizing risks. He also talks about his travels, including working in the United States and forming a consulting company with his wife. Finally, he touches on his initial skepticism towards the idea of carbon dioxide being a dangerous gas and its impact on the planet.
00:05:00 In this section of the video, Malcolm Roberts discusses how he started digging into climate science and got involved in challenging the United Nations. He describes how a friend named Viv Forbes asked him to help out, and how his background in engineering led him to scrutinize the data before making statements. Roberts's research led him to believe that climate alarmism was nonsense, and that it was a pretext for controlling people and the energy supply. He also believes that there is a spiritual dimension to the natural world that is being disregarded by climate alarmists.
00:10:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts discusses the destructive impact of climate alarmism on people's mental health and the environment. He explains how the United Nations has been replacing optimism with fear and guilt, destroying the connection with nature. Malcolm started speaking out against carbon dioxide tax and emissions trading scheme at rallies around the country. His interaction with other climate skeptics such as Ian plymer, Tim Ball, and Tony Heller influenced his stance on the issue. Malcolm also talks about the lack of support he has received from some politicians in Australia, particularly in the Liberal Party, who he accuses of toning down their skepticism and endorsing the opposition view on climate change.
00:15:00 In this section, former Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts discusses the lack of political support he gets for his stance against climate alarmism. While he receives strong moral and emotional support from some individuals within the Liberal Party and the National Party, they do not publicly back him due to pressures from their party. The Labour Party in Australia also has a small number of members who are sceptical of climate alarmism, but they do not have much political support either. Roberts believes that despite few Australians being willing to give up their cars and pay carbon taxes, many are asleep to the danger of climate alarmism and that the pain of rising costs of living may cause more to question climate policies in the future.
00:20:00 In this section, Senator Malcolm Roberts discusses his journey to skepticism about climate change, starting with presenting science to federal MPs who took notice but then went silent. He talks about his strategy of challenging the Chief Advisor, the CSIRO, and the Greens Party to debate with specific empirical scientific evidence and logical scientific points before embarking on a policy. Roberts highlights that until there is evidence that shows the specific impact of human carbon dioxide on any aspect of temperature or climate, no solid policy can be established, nor can the impact of any such policy be tracked. He also praises the late Dr. Tim Ball as a natural gifted person who understood climate science at a fundamental level and boiled down complex concepts into relatable stories.
00:25:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts discusses the coal business in Australia and how it's booming due to high prices, but Australia must export it as they are shutting down power stations before they even need to be shut down to development wind turbines, which they later sell back to Australia at subsidized prices, which raises the electricity prices and destroys manufacturing. Roberts also talks about how solar panels and wind turbines are not renewable and must be replaced every 10-12 years. He explains that subsidies and shutting down coal plants are driving up electricity prices artificially, which is driving down the manufacturing sector and causing harm to the economy in Australia. Additionally, Roberts expects that blackouts will hit Australia soon as electricity demand exceeds solar and wind supply at peak hours.
00:30:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts, a senator from Australia, discusses the problems with hydro pump storage systems like Snowy 2.0, which was developed by the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Roberts claims that the only way to make these pump systems work is with coal-fired power, which is counterproductive because it increases the carbon dioxide intensity. In addition, he states that the electricity grid has already been destroyed due to solar and wind power. The government did a business case for this system, but they would not release it, indicating that it is not efficient and they did not do a cost-benefit analysis. He believes that the whole idea is driven by lies like the climate change scam, which only a small percentage (15%) of people recognize. However, he thinks that the COVID-19 pandemic has opened people's eyes to such scams, especially younger people, which will help them see the real picture and resist paying more for electricity due to so-called climate breakdowns.
00:35:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts discusses the growing recognition of the basic insanity and inconsistencies in climate policies, such as exporting coal to China while not using it domestically and nationalizing the coal and gas industry, leading to dramatically rising gas prices. Roberts and his team are working to expose this and the political corruption that prevents politicians from telling the truth or representing the people's interests. He also mentions various Australians who are effective climate realists, such as Bob Carter and William Kenenmonth. Roberts then criticizes the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for being a "government propaganda outfit" and its program, Q&A, for stacking the panel to favor leftist views, such as Brian Cox's, who Roberts calls a "pathetic imitation of a scientist."
00:40:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts discusses his experience being interviewed on Prime TV and the bias he encountered with the control side of politics. He explains that the government radio and TV are left-wing and that the Australian media does not allow him to present his climate change views. Roberts also discusses his experience with ABC's Compass and Steve Austin, an interviewer who challenged him to analyze the CSIRO's latest report on climate change. Despite his efforts, Roberts faced biased interviews, and even ABC's better interviewer had to succumb to it. He further explains that even Rupert Murdoch's Sky News in Australia, which used to be Freedom side of politics, is now somewhat woke.
00:45:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts recounts his experiences with the media in Australia and how they have attempted to silence him on the issue of climate change. He reveals that he had been blacklisted by Sky News, ABC, Channel Nine, and Channel Seven because he speaks out against the climate scam. Roberts also talks about his encounter with the CSRIO, which is the agency that advises the government on climate policy and energy policies. He demanded empirical scientific evidence to show that carbon dioxide from human activity is a danger, and he recorded the meeting to ensure they could not misrepresent his questions.
00:50:00 In this section, Australian politician Malcolm Roberts discusses his encounters with the CSIRO and the chief scientist regarding climate change. He claims that the CSIRO only presented one paper on temperatures and one on carbon dioxide, both of which were poor quality and easily destroyed. Roberts also says that the chief scientist admitted he was not a climate expert after being questioned by Peter Bob Ruff. Despite Roberts setting a time and date for a genuine discussion on climate science with the chief scientist, the meeting was cancelled. The CSIRO requested a third presentation, but still failed to present any specific impact of carbon dioxide from human activity on climate variables such as temperatures, rainfall, droughts, floods, storms, and ocean alkalinity.
00:55:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts argues against the claims of the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology about climate change. According to him, current temperatures are not unprecedented, and satellite data shows no significant warming since 1995. Roberts asserts that the claim of an "unprecedented rate of temperature rise" doesn't hold up empirically as they rely on computerized models that are erroneous and unvalidated. He further criticizes the scientific community for relying on discredited papers, failing to produce statistically significant empirical evidence that shows climate change, and misleading governments, parliaments, politicians, and journalists. He claims that he is the only politician in the world that has cross-examined climate science agencies and argues that the climate change movement is based on politics and media propaganda orchestrated by the United Nations, not science.

01:00:00 - 01:30:00

Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts dismisses the idea of climate alarmism and the political ploys of the Australian government to comply with the UN's Kyoto Protocol without scientific evidence or logical scientific points. He argues that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is controlled by the oceans and that temperature drives CO2, not the other way around. Roberts claims that the evidence for climate change is a dangerous scam created by powerful global organizations who seek control and wealth transfer. He emphasizes the need to restore scientific integrity and protect natural and economic environments while cautioning about the dangers of powerful entities controlling currency, energy, food, and people's identities.

01:00:00 the Australian Constitution clearly states that property rights are under state jurisdiction, not federal. So, the federal government could not completely take away property rights. Therefore, they started utilizing the Cooperative Federalism to work with the states and influence them to create environmental laws. This led to the creation of the Climate Change Authority and the introduction of the Climate Change Bills. Malcolm Roberts believes that this is all a political ploy to comply with the UN's Kyoto Protocol without having any scientific evidence to back it up. He believes that the temperature databases of agencies like NASA and Noah are corrupt, and there is no scientific evidence to support the climate alarmism.
01:05:00 In this section, Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts explains how the Australian Constitution protects property rights and how the Howard government bypassed it, allowing property rights to be stolen in exchange for meeting the commitments of the Kyoto Protocol. He discusses the lies told by politicians even as John Howard admitted six years later in a 2013 lecture that he is agnostic on climate science. Roberts also criticizes the Labor party, which, despite promising not to enact carbon dioxide taxes, introduced them as soon as they were in power. Roberts argues that the science is absent, replaced entirely by politically driven lies, and explains how experiments to determine the impact of carbon dioxide on the climate have shown no significant effects.
01:10:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts argues that the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere cannot be controlled by human activity because it is controlled by the oceans. Roberts explains that the oceans contain dissolved CO2, and any changes in ocean temperature lead to either the release of or absorption of CO2. He notes that natural gas consumption dropped in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a decrease in human activity and CO2 emission, yet the level of CO2 in the atmosphere continued to rise. Roberts also emphasizes that the temperature drives CO2, not the other way around, which has been proven through climate records and two global experiments. He concludes that the current level of CO2 is a tiny amount, and fluctuations in CO2 have occurred many times in the past.
01:15:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts discusses the theory that the level of carbon dioxide varies enormously from hour to hour and day to day, and the belief that Mona Loa represents the global level of carbon dioxide is therefore rubbish. He also questions the validity of the 20 most cited peer-reviewed papers about climate change and its effects, cited by Senator McAllister, stating that they do not contain logical scientific points proving the carbon dioxide from human activity has any effect on any climate factor. Roberts believes that the evidence for climate change is complete rubbish and a dangerous scam.
01:20:00 In this section of the video, Senator Malcolm Roberts discusses Agenda 21, an international declaration introduced by Maurice Strong during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Strong had two aims, according to Roberts: to put in place an unelected socialist global governance and to de-industrialize Western civilization. Agenda 21 is Strong's blueprint for global governance, and it involves multiple organizations studying the agenda in conjunction with the Rio Declaration and the statement of forest principles. Roberts notes that the American founding fathers specifically rejected centrally controlled governments and privately owned, unelected central banks. Instead, they formed a federation of sovereign, independent states that restricted central duties to a few areas like defense and trade. Roberts argues that privately owned central banks, like the Federal Reserve Bank of America, are influential around the world and have led to a series of corporations controlling the global currency.
01:25:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts explains how the Federal Reserve Bank operates and how it has caused major recessions and wars since 1913. Roberts notes that corporations such as BlackRock and Vanguard have formed the UN to push a globalist agenda. He also criticizes the World Economic Forum, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Club of Rome for promoting a narrative that humans are greedy, rapacious, and responsible for climate change. Roberts argues that the real agenda is about control and wealth transfer, as demonstrated in their push for electric cars, minimal energy, and central bank digital currencies. Roberts cautions that these entities are well on their way to controlling currency, energy, food, and people’s identities, which is highly dangerous.
01:30:00 In this section, Malcolm Roberts addresses the need to protect freedom, restore scientific integrity, protect the natural and economic environments, and restore the spiritual connection with nature. He calls out the media, which he claims is owned by global predators and spreads lies about climate change, COVID-19, and the United Nations' attempt to control people's health and institute digital currencies. He commends podcasters as the only source of truth-seeking and freedom-pushing media. Finally, he thanks the interviewer for his work in this area.
