The consensus within the scientific community is that human activity fuels global climate change, but a video clip shared on Instagram on Nov. 13 featuring a known climate skeptic claims people aren’t to blame.
In the video, Piers Corbyn, an astrophysicist, said heat waves are caused by "certain circulation patterns" from solar activity and phases of the moon.
"These things are dictated by solar activity and the moon," Corbyn said in the video, an excerpt from his 2010 appearance on Russia Today, a Russian state-funded news channel. "They have nothing to do with mankind."
He accused people who say human activity contributes to climate change of "just trying to make money.”
Our ruling:
An Instagram post says climate change is "dictated by solar activity and the moon" and has "nothing to do with mankind."
Scientists found that the sun and moon do affect Earth’s climate, but their influence is small and does not account for the rapid planetary climate changes of the last several decades.
An overwhelming number of scientists and scientific organizations agree that human activity significantly affects climate change.
We rate this claim False.

Without evidence, “An overwhelming number of scientists and scientific organizations agree that human activity significantly affects climate change.”
That is great evidence...........NOT!....................
Lol. The Sun has little effect on the Earths’ climate you guys. Very little effect except for being the singular reason for a life sustaining climate.
Here in SW Ohio, we were covered by a 2-mile thick glacier.
Eventually, it melted back to the Artic region....thanks to humans - right?
“Lol. The Sun has little effect on the Earths’ climate you guys. Very little effect except for being the singular reason for a life sustaining climate.“
Ppppppppttt!…. Details, DETAILS!…who needs ‘em!
Hey man, the (politician-paid) SCIENTISTS say it’s ALL us!
You need to wake up and live in fear and guilt, like our “leaders” tell you to be!
Pay more taxes; freeze and starve yourself in winter; Get rid of that A/C unit!
Remember… “IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!”..
(Isn’t it all ridiculous though! Lol!)
MMMMM, Earth is the hottest it’s been in 12,000 years, a new study confirms...... so which activity by man 12,000 years ago caused this spike? Or, just maybe, possibly it’s the Sun..... MMMMMM
An overwhelming number of scientists and scientific organizations agree
Absolute BS! It is the Sun and gamma rays, stupid. The rest is absolute non-science (political science) noise.
The effects of the sun can be felt in Winter and Summer. Duh. "Little effect" my lily white ass!
This is why no one believes these so-called "climate scientists" ... it's all political and they're making it all up. They've been trying to gaslight the world for 30+ years now.
Remember when we had less than 12 years to save the planet according to Algore? yeah, that was 30+ years ago now and we're still here!
I believe in science. But I couldn’t find the science. But, when I looked for the money, then I found the science.
Good weather doesn’t mean the climate is changing ,LOL
They (US Gov/NASA) are lying about Milankovich cycles, saying they are too long term and can’t account for “recent” rises in temperature.
What the globalist marxists hide is that we are in the middle of coming “out” of a glacial cycle and warming will not be consistent but instead will have increasing periods of fits and starts since the planet has its own wonderful feedback mechanisms. Much of the glaciation happened little by little then WHAM, Ice-world. We are in Nice-World now.
consensus within the scientific community
s/b...................consensus community
I suggest we ship all the d-bags who claim humans change Earth’s climate to Mercury...just to prove them wrong!
Yes...the fact that humans can only see 5% of the light from the Sun causes the BS to be propagated.
Now if we can get little Andy to tell us what the hell happened to the Ice Age. He’s a Vietnamese expert, he should know. I’ll bet it had something to do with Wooly Mammoth flatulence and Flintstone mobiles.
Take away the sun or the moon and see what happens.
The geometry formed by earth’s orbital precession around the sun, combined with the earth’s tilt and earth’s unequal distribution of continents DOES create our 100,000 year ice cycles. There is also a roughly 50 year cycle of solar flare cycles which heat and cool earth’s atmosphere, as well as driving ocean circulation and resulting weather. In addition there is an 800 year delay after naturally occurring warming periods before sequestered carbon rises from ocean depths into the atmosphere. Then we can talk about the natural release of ocean hydrates (carbon) when oceans cool.
