P amp T Bullshit Environmental Hysteria Part 2

[rokkvi1]

Fuck Penn and Teller for doing a dumbass propaganda show this time. Cherrypick a bunch of stupid people who are environmentalists to talk to for one thing. Then go to a libertarian think tank for "expert" advice. P&T are libertarians themselves, what does that tell you? Now there is actually a pretty darn good consensus in the scientific community that global warming is most likely cause by man, but of course, they never mention that.

[quidnick]

@rokkvi1 Who the fuck cares about the environment? The earth is for human consumption. And money funds technology, which saves your water, which btw is filtered through the hydrospheric cycle and water treatment plants... i.e. you can't run out of resources. If a tree can evolve voice capabilities, & give me a good counter-argument... i'll become a christian.

[rokkvi1]

@quidnick my point was on P&T BSing about global warming and cherrypicking dumbasses from the opposing team to talk to. Your comment addresses neither of these, but I´ll address you comment. Not all resources are renewable and there are limits to the rate of renewability, so you can indeed run out of resources. Your comment about trees evolving a voice and becoming a christian make no sense whatsoever so please try to write coherently next time.

[rokkvi1]

@quidnick ok I now finally got why you talked about trees evolving voice capabilities. It was because of that dumb girl who said the tree talked to her. Dude, I think it´s BS when she says the tree talks to her or mourns other trees. Of course trees can´t do that. Why would you assume I´m with her on that? I am an atheist so I certainly have no interest in trying to make you become a christian. By all means don´t.

An ecological problems that cannot be disputed, but gets less focus is fishing. The ocean is soon to become a dead place.

it's easy to make fun of hippies, but bjorn lomborg and patrick moore are bullshit artists of the highest caliber. they produce more sophisticated bullshit than hippies, but it still stinks. and then the cato institute? come on none of these people are scientists

[DeaNovo]

You know what the loggers did when that hippie sat in that tree for two years. They cut other trees down. yeah she won alright. (rolls eyes)

[UNDguy1987]

WE ARE STILL IN AN ICE AGE! 

[D3admaus]

How come not even 1 hippie said "are you kidding me H2O ?!" If she asked me to bann H2O i would've slapped her.

[daboodeef179]

It takes more than 100 years to make a global warming trend. You need at least 1000-10,000 years of temperature increase to prove a global warming trend. (which the temperature hasn't been increasing so there is no trend).

[daboodeef179]

Aren't forest fires good? Because the ashes fertilize the land causing better plants to grow

[lisamaria1972]

These people are fking morons

[wmd44110]

Haha @ 7:26 the woman who was "familiar with it" even had a bottle of that pesky dihydrogen monoxide.

[ORACLE063]

If Global warming and warming seas are true it would produce tons of rain. Due to something called Evaporation... Causing plants to grow larger and stronger.... the warmer temps mean a longer growing season. This in turn would turn up the 02 numbers ending this arguement right here.

They should rename this movement to the brown movement... because they obviously dont want a greener earth.

[EmberAegis]

@ORACLE063

That is one of the most logical comments I have read.

[grandbrown]

...hippies....

[M0US3P0T4TO]

Fight corporate greed - yes, cuz' they are some greedy bastards. But open your eyes to the real issues at hand. Global climate crises or Wall Street bail-out - which one should you really be concerned with and rail against?

[lisamaria1972]

@M0US3P0T4TO People have the right to make money and if they found a way to make more money than you.......dont be jealous!

[massivefuckwitt]

You fat arrogant fuck, just because you & your midget gimp handpicked some non experts who are not good infront of a camera or tricked some people who will sign anything you think that this counts as proof we can continue the with current patterns of old growth (as opposed to plantation) forest destruction and increasing CO2 concentrations without any concern in the world? Why did't you talk to any real experts who were not taking bribes? And I'm not part of any association you fat cunt!

[hunterkiller232134]

Not that I disagree with them, but does anyone else think it's rather blatant that they consult an expert from the Cato Institute? An organization of which they are considered honored members?

[DrewDAMNIT]

Hahaha I wish all tree huggers would live in trees and never come down. Let the wild fires take them out. Irony FTW.

[DrewDAMNIT]

haha "1998 is the hottest year on record". We have been monitoring global temperatures for less than 200 years. 200 years is significantly less than a fraction of a single piss drop in the ol' bucket when it comes to accumulating data on the earth's weather patterns.

[lisamaria1972]

@DrewDAMNIT what about 2010?? ???? I live in So. Florida and we had the coldest weather on RECORD...

[lisamaria1972]

@DrewDAMNIT what about 2009-2010?? ???? I live in So. Florida and we had the coldest weather on RECORD n 2009!... Its actually 37 right now in 2010

[Mattysmyth0593]

Julia butterfly Hill?! that name makes me feel sick

[oreolvrs]

Is it just me or are the zeitgeist movement turning into the environmentalist movement as described here by P&T?

[Nateb123]

@oreolvrs I don't think so. However I think the zeitgeist movement gets hijacked like any movement that has notes of anarchy because people want to blame others for their lives not being exactly what they want. It's easier to blame a faceless corporation than another person and certainly oneself for inadequacies. It doesn't matter if the cause is objecting to a war, a law or the environment, those people who want to blame others just need a bandwagon.

[The420shredhead]

@oreolvrs Zeitgeist is pretty much externalized mystery religion and if anything its turning into the new world religion, but yes you are right it is also adopting that same sheep's clothing method P&T were mentioning.

[volcom13xx]

yeah im familiar with it

hahahaha wow she knows she is banning water eh

[swootwapa]

gr8.. .no part 3...

[hisoj]

the recently discovered agw emails show just how shrill envirowhackos can become when their "science" is questioned

[WhiteTiger225]

Hate to tell you greenpeace nuts.. You know those evil corporate logging companies? They replant what they cut down. The unplanted forests are actually the result of UNWEALTHY 3rd world logging companies that can't afford to replace what they cut down. TREES ARE A RENEWABLE RESOURCE YOU FUCKHEADS!

8:56 Julia Butterfly? Well hate to tell you, that tarp? The boards you used? Trees were used in the making of those products you hypocritical WHORE!

[mrfrosty8172]

ALSO my crazy science teacher told us about companies that get their wood from "tree farms"

places where trees are grown and then cut down and re-planted specifically for a certain purpose

also computers have really cut down paper use

(hopefully the electricity was from a dam)

greenpeace convinced 3rd world countries to not use engineered crops to feed their people cuz "they are dangerous"

congrats to greenpeace they killed a shitload of people with lies

[Prytanus]

This video needs to be debunked. Jillette is fantastic most times, but the libertarian movement is starting to irk me a bit.

I'm libertarian as a rule of thumb: Atlas Shrugged is one of my favourite books, I'm pro-globalization (read "In Defence of Globalization" by Jagdish Bhagwati...awesome), pro-capitalism, etc.

But denying global warming and calling for the gold standard is starting to get on my nerves.

The data is in on global warming, and Bretton Woods failed.

Sheesh.

[parkerxxxxxx]

Mr. Ross has the students' rapt attention I see. Maybe there we up late the night before re-using some weed in a bong to help save the planet?

[MaryOMackie]

I think that's very noble to try to protect the old growth forests, especially those redwoods. Listen to what the corporate shill at the end said: the tree was very old and in the end she won..and that's good.

Not only am I against globalization and corporatation of the planet which DOES in fact enslave people, but I'm also against corporate farming and the logging industry ripping down old growth and rainsforests that will take HUNDREDS of years to replace.NOT cloaking they go hand in hand.

[oreolvrsshane1987]

you might like Zeitgeist Addendum here on youtube(however dont watch the original movie thats shit)

[ColtBarrettUSA]

Which people exactly are enslaved? Try telling that to the middle-class citizens of South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan.
