Dr. Kira Rehfeld, professor at the Geo- and Environmental Research Center (GUZ) at the University of Tübingen, discusses 8 popular theories on climate change. 00:00 - Intro - Prof. Dr. Kira Rehfeld introduces herself 00:35 - Thesis 1 - There were warm phases in earlier geological eras. That's completely normal. 03:55 - Thesis 2 - Even scientists can't see into the future. Nobody knows what's coming. 06:00 - Thesis 3 - What difference does one degree more or less make? We can adapt to that. 09:04 - Thesis 4 - Scientists don't agree among themselves about global warming. Nobody can say exactly how threatening the situation is. 11:53 - Thesis 5 - Climate researchers can't even predict the weather two days in advance. Their climate models, which predict climate change in 20 years, are correspondingly inaccurate. 15:23 - Thesis 6 - Removing carbon from the atmosphere is far too risky and costly. 18:25 - Thesis 7 - Planting trees saves the climate. 22:05 - Thesis 8 - We still have time to adapt to climate change.
