Citizenschallenge: Easy reference guide to the videos of the SkS, UQx online course "DENIAL101x"

UQx Denial101x Making Sense of Climate Science Denial

(Reposted from What'sUpWithThatWatts.blogspot.com)

I wanted a quick reference to the various Denial101x videos I watched as I took the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) of the University of Queensland in Australia (in their joint effort with John Cook, Bärbel Winkler and the volunteers at SkepticalScience.com).

I know these videos are listed at YouTube, but it's all so clunky that I decided to put together my own single sheet linkable list of all the videos. First the course videos for each of the six weekly installments, followed by a listing of the complete interviews with accomplished scientists and other experts.

Considering the malicious slander many climate scientists must endure, this is a gold mine of insights into who these scientists actually are and how they've arrived at their conclusions. (Please note I've linked scientist's names to accessible internet bios, for a bit more background.)

It took some time and effort so I figure I may as well share it - as a public service and also my way of saying thank you to John Cook and all the hard working very smart people over at SkepticalScience.com who put in countless hours of effort to make this course such a success.

An excellent antidote for all the disinformation being posted on the internet.
Feel free to copy and pass along.

Denial101x - Week 4

by UQx Denial101x Making Sense of Climate Science Denial May, 2015

This week is divided into two - the past and the future.
Peter Jacobs takes us into the deep past, millions of years ago when CO2 levels in the atmosphere were much higher than today.
Robert Way the medieval warm period just under 1000 years ago.
Andy Skuce the Little Ice Age, in the 1800s.
Daniel Bedford what climate scientists were predicting in the 1970s.
Dana Nuccitelli explains how climate models are based on fundamental physical principles. He looks at how predictions based on physics tend to be a lot more accurate than predictions based on wishful thinking.
