• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254", Frank Lasee, the author of "Climate and Energy Lies", discusses the falsehoods surrounding climate change and its impact on energy policy. Lasee argues that people are being misinformed about climate, with the underlying lie being that less CO2 would lead to better climate and fewer natural disasters. He asserts that climate always changes and that there is no proven long-term relationship between CO2 and temperatures. Lasee also mentions that data has been manipulated, and scientists who challenge the climate narrative have been censored. He shares examples of temperature graphs that have been altered to support the climate emergency narrative and discusses how this has been driven by money and the green industrial complex. Lasee also mentions how the narrative has been perpetuated through data tampering, censorship, bullying, deception, and spin. He concludes by sharing historical examples of scientists predicting an ice age in the 1970s, which was later switched to global warming in the 1980s, and how temperature increases occurred before the sharp rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254", Frank Lasee challenges the notion that the Earth is experiencing unprecedented warming based on temperature data from climate.gov. He argues that there have been warmer periods in the past, such as the medieval warm period and the Roman climate optimum, which were much warmer than the present interglacial period that has lasted about 12,000 years. Lasee also criticizes the idea that CO2 is the control knob of the climate, pointing out that CO2 levels lag behind temperature changes in ice core samples. He further alleges that temperature data has been adjusted to make it appear cooler in the past and warmer in the present, leading to misinformation and harmful energy policies.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254," Frank Lasee discusses the temperature records and how they have been manipulated to support the narrative of man-made climate change. He points out that there were severe heatwaves and record temperatures before 1960, which are not reflected in the long-term graphs. Lasee argues that prior to 1960, there is little accurate temperature data for the whole world, and even now, there are not enough temperature gauges to give an accurate picture of the actual temperature. He also criticizes climate models for overestimating the amount of heat and for being used to propagandize the public about man-made climate change. Lasee mentions that some nonprofits and the news media have accepted large sums of money to promote the climate change agenda, benefiting China the most. He also highlights the views of climate skeptics like John Coleman and Michael Kryon, who argue that there are no peer-reviewed papers that prove that CO2 is the control knob of the climate or is actually driving temperatures.
• 00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254," Frank Lasee discusses the issue of consensus in climate science and the manipulation of temperature data. He argues that the consensus approach is not how science should be done and that climate change is not a proven fact. Lasee also criticizes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for being a disinformation organization and for cooking the temperature books. He provides examples of temperature data being altered in places like the Congo and Australia, and accuses them of fabricating data for closed stations. Lasee asserts that climate change is not about environmental policy but rather about power and control, and that those promoting it are driven by money, power, and greed.
• 00:20:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254", Frank Lasee discusses the issue of temperature data manipulation in climate research. He accuses climate scientists of adding urban heat data into temperature records, which results in higher temperatures. This phenomenon, known as the Urban Heat Island effect, causes urban areas to get hotter as they urbanize. Instead of adjusting for this effect, Lasee claims that scientists are cooling past temperatures and warming present temperatures, affecting hundreds of temperature stations in the US. Additionally, Lasee criticizes climate scientists for predicting disasters such as sea-level rise, famine, and more, which have not materialized. He also points out that climate deaths have decreased due to better building structures and identification of climate-related risks. Lasee argues that the media and climate activists are spreading propaganda about the climate crisis and the imminent threat of rising sea levels.
• 00:25:00 In this section of the "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies" podcast (Tom Nelson Pod #254), Lasee challenges the notion that energy policies driven by climate change will lead to prosperity losses. He disputes claims of increasing trends in floods, droughts, and tornadoes, citing data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicating that 88% of the world has no trends for floods or droughts. He also discusses the misreporting of tornadoes and hurricanes, pointing out that smaller tornadoes are more likely to be reported due to better reporting methods and technology. Lasee also challenges the idea that the world is experiencing a precipitous decline in snow and ice, stating that there is no evidence of dangerous declines in Arctic sea ice or Antarctica. He also discusses the importance of phytoplankton in producing oxygen and the misconception that rainforests are the "lungs of the world." Lasee also discusses the decline in global burned area and the importance of proper forest management in reducing fires. He also challenges the notion that CO2 is harmful, citing historical data showing that higher CO2 levels have led to increased crop yields.
• 00:30:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254", Frank Lasee discusses the benefits of CO2 for plant growth and the Earth. He explains that CO2 is essential for plant growth, and plants grow better with more CO2, tolerating heat and drought better. NASA reports that Earth has gained about 40% more moisture in the last 50 years due to increased CO2, leading to more forest growth and increased crop production. Lasee argues that CO2 is not a pollutant but a beneficial substance for plant growth and food production. He also emphasizes that water vapor and clouds make up the majority of the greenhouse effect, and CO2 is a minor contributor. Lasee encourages listeners to understand the science behind CO2 and refute the climate religion narrative that CO2 is harmful.
• 00:35:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254," Frank Lasee discusses how climate change policies are not only targeting energy sources but also the food supply. He argues that there is no scientific reason to limit methane and nitrous oxide, and that climate change can be blamed for various weather phenomena. Lasee also criticizes the labeling of CO2 as carbon, and points out that humans emit a significant amount of CO2 through respiration. He accuses globalists of using climate change as a problem to control and direct mankind, and claims that they want to reduce the world's population. Lasee argues that fossil fuels are necessary for civilization and that efforts to regulate their use will have negative consequences. He also criticizes the UN and other organizations for wanting to control nations and impose climate policies.
• 00:40:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254," Lasee argues against the shift towards renewable energy sources like wind and solar, stating that they provide only a tiny percentage of the world's energy and cannot replace fossil fuels, especially in transportation, anytime soon. He also criticizes climate policies, such as subsidies for renewable energy and the phase-out of coal, as being expensive and ineffective, leading to higher electric rates and economic weakness for countries implementing them. Lasee also mentions examples of countries like Germany, Denmark, and the UK, which have high renewable energy usage and pay triple the electric rates of the US, and countries like South Africa and Sri Lanka, which have faced economic consequences after following climate policies. He concludes by stating that climate policies are inflationary and that people are being propagandized for the benefit of politicians, the media, the green industrial complex, and communist China.
• 00:45:00 In this section of the podcast titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies" by Tom Nelson, Lasee discusses the potential for high food and energy costs leading to unrest and control through rationing. He criticizes climate activists for advocating for degrowth, depopulation, and limiting individual CO2 emissions. Lasee also mentions the promotion of 15-minute cities and limiting car usage, as well as the push for plant-based diets and reducing private car ownership. He argues that there is no climate emergency and that ending the use of fossil fuels is unnecessary, expensive, and dangerous. Lasee has written a book, "Climate and Energy Lies," to provide facts and understanding about the issue and encourages people to question the narrative. He has given talks on the topic and has received positive feedback, but also faces censorship online and is open to potential protests.

Lasee accuses NASA and other organizations of lying about the role of CO2 in warming the Earth for financial gain, and cites instances of censorship and suppression of dissenting scientific research. He also mentions the importance of platforms like Twitter for sharing information and engaging in debates, and emphasizes that the Earth has been warmer in the past and that CO2 is necessary plant food. Lasee concludes by emphasizing that fossil fuels provide the majority of the world's energy and are essential for heating, cooking, and economic development.
• 00:55:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Frank G Lasee: Climate and Energy Lies | Tom Nelson Pod #254," Frank Lasee discusses the importance of reliable and affordable energy sources for economic activity and daily life. He uses the example of an island where people are importing oil and natural gas for fuel and electricity to prevent deforestation and build a wall to protect their side from the other half, which has no government due to the collapse caused by the lack of energy. Lasee emphasizes the need for understandable communication about climate and energy issues to the general public and encourages listeners to read his book and sign up for his weekly newsletter on his website.
