Fake Claim 1: Climate change is part of a natural cycle
We’ll start by giving you one. Yes, there are natural cycles. For
instance deniers love pointing to 17th century Dutch oil paintings as
proof of a mini ice age, of all things, because they often depicted
frozen lakes. Of course it only takes a few days for a lake to freeze,
and even fewer to thaw. The role of “palaeo” scientists, like Mike, is
to check whether recent changes look like past natural cycles. They
don’t! The changes in the last 40 years are too big, and too fast. In
fact, the most powerful cycles we know about are slowly pushing us
towards a colder climate.
