in the years after james henson's speech, jerry taylor was hired by the think tank kato, my name is jerry taylor. i'm the director of natural resource studies here at the cato institute, kato hired people like me, primarily to change public opinion. and that's what i did. there may be some extreme events that occur down the road and we don't know what the chances for that might be. the climate skepticism is entirely dependent upon the promotion of doubt about the underlying science. james hanson at nasa thinks it's maybe 710121520 percent. other scientists think there's probably more like 0.3 percent. the denial about the underlying sciences. the critical is the critical juncture that event. while taylor takes a sip of water meat mock murano. yeah, i'm going to be looking at you can be sitting there just be there. so i be like, my job essentially is covering the global warming movement and communicating to the public, the latest findings. you look at the, the satellite data we're, we actually had no significant warming since 1998. actually no warming, we've been cooling and recent years.

something happens radically changed jerry taylor's life. i was in the debate in the early 2, thousands with joe rome, the and on this tv show where we were debating, i said, look, joe, it's been more than a decade since james hanson testified him from the united states about global warming. we've only seen about a quarter of a warming that james hanson says we should have seen by now. and if this continues to play out, there's no reason to take a while climate change, it'll be a relative so we left the studio and went in the green room. and joe said, did you even read james hanson's test for your? do you just, you know, is there you are these just talking point somebody wrote for you what you're talking about here, what a scenario to scenario be in a scenario c. so if you look at scenario be you'll find that the emissions we've seen since is testimony pretty much crack what he hypothesized under scenario b. and if you look at the temperature projections, the pretty spot on. so when you go on television, you say that the models are running h

and jerry taylor, the arguments that i made at the time it was that when it comes to 2nd hand smoke, that the epidemiological evidence has been form was not particularly persuasive. but the fact is, is the same kind of arguments, the same stylized arguments that were made against to action to regulate tobacco are pretty similar, the arguments that we used against climate change, ah now, but what did the industry know about climate change? when it launched this campaign, when the answer can be found on board a ship off the coast of texas, in 1979, a man on the ship did something so important to exxon that this presentation film was produced for the company's management. the man was ed garvey, and today it looks like this. the videotapes were taken to show to the corporate board about this really exciting research project that the company was doing to study the effects of increased c o 2 and on the planet. and it should contribute to the science of climate change. 40 years ago, almost 10 years before james henson's speech, an internal scientific department at exxon researched global wa
