## Transcript

[0:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=1) Without further ado, please join me in welcoming to the stage John Clauser, two thousand twenty-two Nobel Prize winner in Physics.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=9) I assert that real truth can only be found by observing natural phenomena.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=16) The current world is saturated with pseudoscience, with bad science, with scientific misinformation and disinformation, and what I will call techno cons.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=25) Perception of truth frequently differs significantly from real truth.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=29) Moreover, given sufficient promotion and advertising, perception of truth becomes truth.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=36) It's, it's promotion by commercial enterprise is called marketing.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=40) You can change truth. You can claim false observations if necessary.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=45) My favorite in this act is ChatGPT. It's very good at doing exactly that.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=52) It has, uh, lots of man-made pseudoscience to copy and manipulate and emulate.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=58) It can lie and cheat even better than its human mentors.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=63) Recently, the Nobel Foundation has formed a new panel to address the issue called the International Panel on Information Environment.

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=70) They plan to model it after the UN's International Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=77) I think personally that they're making a big mistake in that effort because in my opinion, the IPCC is one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation.

[1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=86) I believe that the climate change is not a crisis.

[1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=90) Real truth could be found if and only if you learn to recognize and use good science.

[1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=95) It's especially true when real truth is politically incorrect and does not reflect political business aims or desires of leaders.

[1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=103) Regarding climate change, the, the dominant process, I believe, has been misidentified by factors of two hundred.

[1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=111) Their lack of scientific knowledge allows science and pseudoscience to promote what I will refer to as techno cons, political opportunistic aims.

[1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=119) Very importantly, a referee must apply good calculus-based statistical methods along with good common sense.

[2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7YfXmCZpL8vA/en/john-clauser-on-scientific-truth-chatgpt-and-climate-change?t=126) I would also like you to consider methods used by two of my former associates at University of California Berkeley, Nobel laureates, when they were shown data, a group of data points, and told, "Look, the trend is obvious."
