  • ----->>> Housekeeping Alert! It's Laundry Day in newHorizone January 22-24!! Take advantage of it!!! vzones (dot)

  • I can't believe people are still debating this, and I don't care if there wasn't one shred of data. Do you people really think you can dump toxic waste into our oceans and into the air indefinitely and nothing will happen? Ever? Is that actually what you're saying? Don't talk to me about science and politics. It's common sense. Try shitting on your kitchen table every day and see how long you live. Fucking idiots.

  • So you are going to do something against climate change?

    What is it you are going to do?

    Is climate change really the problem?

    Population growth

    - EU in the year 2000: 343'000 people

    - India allone in the first week of 2001: 343'000 people.

    Population on earth in 1900 was 1.6 Billion

    Population on earth in 2000 was 6.5 Billions

    Population on earth in 2100 will be 50 Billions??

    Do we have enaugh energy, water, soil, fish, or dont we have to chop down the rest of the rainforests?

  • What's this film for? I can hear the nature screaming, like human being devoid of oxygen... Sense somthing terriblly evil out there.

  • fuckwit sheep

  • Fuck the illuminati polititians..

    Lets string up the pinstripes and get on with REAL LIFE.

    We dont need fossil fuels,,,, We havent needed fossil fuels since the 1920s.

    Its only the polititian/bankers circles that are keeping green fuels down..

    They need the money and power over us..

    Come on folks,, Lets continue on our journey of evolution..

  • Climate Change??? is the Earths natural cycle...

    I put this to you all.. What mankind (all of use that is) pump out day & daily is a mear fraction compared to what Planet Earth & wild life pumps out day & daily (I mean a mear fraction) the Earths climate has for millions of years gone up & down, it is the Earths natural cycle of which is made up of natural forest fires (releasing of CO2 stored in the trees), volcanoes (Variuos gases (mostly lethal) this we can not change. so whats the point

  • yes and it's that little bit extra that can tip the balance

  • There is no balance to tip, it's Earth natural cycle, which we add a mear fraction to. Whether mankind stops pumping out CO2 completely it will not stop Global warming or Climate Change (FACT), all these Greenie types are actually blaming mankind (me, you & the rest of the world) for the melting ice caps in the North & South poles when in fact this is a natural process, but to Greenies its an echo crisis that needs to be stop. Natural processes can not be reversed, no one can save the earth.

  • CO2 is 30% higher than it has ever been in the past 850,000 years. That's hardly "a fraction."

    Read the science before you post publicly like this.

  • Do mathematics, you gullible dittohead: CO2 concentration is ONE MOLECULE in 10,000 molecules in Earth's atmosphere. Levels have grown since 850,000 years ago fom 2.9 molecules among 10,000 up to 3.8 molecules in 10,000.

    .

    And that's CATASTROPHIC? Wake up to real knowledge, dude! Santa Claus don't exist! Holy Priest Al Gore is cheating on you!

    .

    And Friends (or "Fiends"?) of The Earth is taking your money for their hoildays in the Caribbean!

  • I'm not gullible, so there are records that far back, written proof I hope and not some scientific (estimated data) providing an actual fact based level of CO2 concentration at that time when in fact carbon-dating (which I assume is what has providing the levels u have mentioned)... can at best be only estimates, so until I see dead cert facts and data (no estimates) then I stand my ground. Mankind can not & will never save Planet Earth no matter how hard mankind tries. I could go on & on & on.

  • Impersonator2001: I wasn't referring to you. I was speaking to "zcaron", that believes in Santa Claus and the Holy Pope Al Gore.

    .

    Even James Hansen acknowledges that even if 100% of the countries in the world reduce CO2 emissions as Kyoto and Al Gore want, there will be a mere 0.02ºC reduction in temperature by 2050. That amount is only measurable with specialized thermometers, so all this circus going on, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, etc, is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on mankind.

  • Thanx Achurara, no offence was taken. I know that mankind as a whole contribute 2 the CO2 emmitions etc but from information I have looked at tonight it turns our to be a mere 1% and as I have stated all along a mere fraction of what the Mother Earth pumps out... but thank u for having a similar understanding of Climate Change & Global warming... this topic can go on for ages.. some day soon people will realise that we are not able to save Planet Earth..... as it's not for us to save...

  • That is real data, not estimates. Much of that data comes from Antarctic ice core samples, where a pool-noodle shaped piece of ice is pulled up with layers of ice dating back 850,000 years. Air bubbles that have been frozen and trapped for all those years are used to determine what the atmospheric air content was like at that time.

  • Achuara, it's that "small amount" of C02 that accounts for 60+% of the greenhouse gas warming effect on this planet.

  • zcaron, how can? "that small amount" of C02 which you state accounts for 60+% of the greehouse gas warming effect on this planet is (to me that's Irish) sorry I do come from N. Ireland & as we say here it's all a bit of craic" Look at all the money being pumped in2 trying to save the planet (what about the Credit Crunch) Well I refer back to the last part of my last post & that is "some day soon people will realise that we are not able to save Planet Earth.. as it's not for us to save." END!

  • It's in the science. It's based on the properties of the gas itself. It's why CO2 is called a "greenhouse gas". It and other greenhouse gases trap heat, which is what causes the natural greenhouse effect on this planet, giving us the average global temperature of ~16 C.

  • And, while I certainly appreciate your ending quote, the mass of concern around anthropogenic climate change is focused on how climate change is impacting humanity and the level to which we can deal with and/or adapt to these change. I am quite certain the planet will be fine on its own.

  • You are correct - climate changes. There is natural climate change, and there is human-caused climate change. The issue we're all referring to, I think, is the latter.

    There is overwhelming scientific evidence to support the fact that humans are indeed changing the global climate. It is with 95% certainty that the climate changes we are seeing cannot be explained by non-human factors alone.

  • People are changed by politiks! law...

    Politiks is etymologically illegal...It uses

    foreign knowledge from far away etc...

  • it is nice to know that things can be changed and that people care

  • Absolute certainty does not exist. Thats why I choose to mention where I get my info. In this case it was Doctor Iain Stewart on a 2008 BBC 2 documentary The Climate Wars.

    Its almost absolutely certain that profit makes the world go around. Why not invest and make profit out of the implementation of the 3-Dimensional Nanotube Solar Cell technology of William Yuan (500 times more light absorption than commercially-available solar cells) in the American deserts ?

  • Go on Friends of the Earth, I'm supporting you!

  • Nice to have a bit of good news for once :)

  • Why are Europeans So easily Brain washed en Mass?

  • As long as the public believes that scientists disagree on the issue, the people wont demand action (divide the people and conquer). So Exxon, BP, General Motors, Shell, Ford... formed the Global Climate Coalition and throughout the 1990s used the media to promote the views of the minority of sceptical scientists. The Global Coalition has now disbanded, but there are still sceptics around.

  • maybe you should Goggle this " Global warming systemic BBC bias and Earth - The Climate Wars"

    and read all about it.

  • Have you ever..I mean Ever though about checking ..Beside the well funded by Greenpeace Exxonsecret web site,and see were Exxon spend or I should say spend it's funding? Thanks to the Alarmist Exxon stopped funding Universities who were using those funds for Grants so less fortunate kids could get an Education. It also donated 225 million to Standford University to study Alternative Energy and how to improve Emissions for Hydrocarbon fuels. All Those you will not find on Exxonsecrets.. Why Not?

  • Amazing

    truly wonderful

  • ALL WORLD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING

  • this is what we need

  • awesome

  • Great, I have added this video to my Lens on Squidoo under "catastrophe". We all have to do what we can to get the message heard.

  • Bravo!!!! friends of the earth. This is exactly the motivation and positive reinforcement the people of any country need to change policy in politics. When local communities speak, act, write, and petition political leader have no choice but to listen and address issues. Urgent matters can not wait! Act Now! it all starts with one individual but together we can create solutions.

  • Let's take action!

  • Good film, great initiative. Although Tony Blair's comment is a bit redicilous; of all decently developed countries, Britain is not even close to leading the fight against climate change.

  • The world needs to take action

  • go for it! we can

  • Become a vegeterian our a vegan. :)

  • everybody should support this! Mother Nature does not make exceptions when it comes to a natural disaster.

  • Great video. Keep making these and getthe message out there to all. Rachel

  • Lets do this now. No more procrastination. It is so long overdue...

  • please take action

  • we need to change our ways. or else...

  • wonderful now it seems that we are on path

    save earth eave yourself

  • This is wonderful!!! Hurray for a green world!!! England takes the first step... lets hope others will follow and pass a law.

  • The future is Green!

  • Actions like this for the massive change of policy, that voices are heard together!!º

  • Great awesome stuff. Friends of the Earth did a sterling job!!!!

  • I support this!

  • awareness is the root of change....

    -slk

    blessed be

  • Nice job friends of earth!! now only if others start doing the same...GO Green Peace too!!

  • do what you can cause every bit helps!

    peace

  • were dead

  • The Earth is not a present from our parents, but a loan from our children

  • Save the planet

  • we are together in this..keep working!

  • It is possible to change the world!

  • Great news that we have the Climate Change Bill, but now we have to get the emissions cuts!

  • Keep up the work. I'm with u!

  • ALl people on earth have to watch this.

  • Great! Brings some hope to the world. Congratulations to Frends of the earth.

  • Excellent

  • Hay que continuar luchando por la salud de nuestro bello planeta!!

  • An excellent example of how our small contributions CAN make a difference. Show this video to all your sceptic friends and family!! Congratulations Friends of the Earth, congratulations UK.

  • O vosso trabalho esta excelente! Espero que toda a gente esteja disposto a ajudar tal como nós! :)

  • Good to know we can do it if we work together!!

  • together we'll make it

  • vive la revolution!!! peace out

  • Juntos se puede gente!!!

    PAZ VERDE

  • Never stop fighting!

  • I was one of the 200,000.

  • If you're not on the side of the Earth, what side are you on? Empowering stuff, Friends of the Earth!

  • Well done to Friends of the Earth for getting this new Climate Change Law.

  • Felicitaciones Friends of the Earth!

    Se ve que la unión hace la fuerza.

    can I form part of the big ask?

    I live far... very far... is anything that I can do?

  • It's very important to know what target you choose when you start something like this... you can't just make it... It was a campain very well prepared. Congratulations!!!

  • You dirty hippies are such a bunch of hippocrates.

    You stop people going on holiday at stanstead but i bet there would be hell to pay if some stopped you flying to go llama treking in patagonia.

    it would probably end in a new human rights law.

  • Bravo, you all at the Friends of the Earth are simply the best, together we all can make a big change

  • The power of one: lots of them put together!

  • Nice!

  • V for Victory is nearing

  • This campaign is a brilliant testament to organised collective action. Of course more needs to be done, as the government has yet to adress the issue of even their own target regime. Now we need leadership from the top or the people wil vote them out and the next lot stick to the bill's targets.

  • Wow!!!

  • Being part of a collective action is very constructive. Climate change can only be combatted by everyone working together; the biggest lesson that we on our planet have to learn!

  • Excellent news!

    Now we need the politicians to realise that the work has only just begun. From now on, every action has to be measured against a the carbon budget, with no exceptions.

  • Way to go Friends of the Earth. I'm proud of us all. Now we just have to make sure the politicians walk the walk.

  • awesome!

  • Revolution Baby

  • we can make de difference if we really want to. we have the power to save our world. thanks Friends of the Earth

  • Join the green side, we've got cookies.

  • This has to be the most important battle - the battle to save Mother Earth !!!

    Lets bring back some of the old rules which basically helped protect the environment . Sometimes Old is Gold - lets bring back the idea that the Earth is OUR MOTHER !!! that should help !!!

  • This message and The Big ASK are such empowering messages. This is the way WE the people will get governments to LISTEN to us.

    We HAVE to let them know that we CARE. Taking action has never been easier, or more necessary. Let us write, email, demonstrate, sing and remind the people who represent US that they do just that and that we ARE watching and expect JUST THAT. The earth is our best present, lets make it a wonderful present for the future too. ZubinNur

  • Politicians know that the people want action. They have to start listening to the millions of little voices instead of to the few big voices of enterprise. We have to get louder!

  • Uplifting to see that campaigns really can make a difference.

  • Still a huge amount of work to do, as demonstrated today at Stanstead..

    Lots of people can and do make a difference.

    Get involved and be part of the solution!

  • alarm bell

  • time for action

  • tels do it

  • TEAM- Together Everyone Achieves More

  • Maybe the most important battle to be faught at the moment: the battle for the protection of OUR environment

  • Together is the only way!!!

  • It clearly demonstrates the power of the people!

  • Very important message!

  • Good video.

    Nice to see people doing their part for the environment.

  • Put some sense into these stupid politicians GP. Kudos!!

  • great video

  • better get started

  • good going

  • Great going friends! Together we have to protect our planet...

  • Great!!!

  • estimulating!

  • Brilliant work Friends of the Earth and good on you Britain!

  • Our scientific understanding of climate change is sufficiently sound to make us highly confident that greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming.

  • amaazing video really

  • fantastic action

  • The message from IPCC is stark. Indeed, we are almost certainly past the "tipping point" and will be hard put to it to hold carbon dioxide emissions to the top limit of 550 parts per million (ppm) unless low carbon technologies are introduced as a matter of extreme urgency.

  • super

  • ordinary people ahead of the government.... I have solar thermal for summer.  water heating bill gone from £200 to £17.

  • A must watch !

  • Well done to true Friends of Our Earth. Inspiring but also as someone commented earlier we all have to personally do our bit, recycle, reuse, buy organic xmas presents!,no more standbys, tv off, sun andwind power..........we can all do so much, together, its great what we can achieve, together.....Karen

  • that's really great! keep doing this!

  • buen video, ánimo!

  • I'm sure V for Victory is coming soon.....

  • Fantastic video, fantastic result... but I think more people need to take responsibility for their own actions. It's not just about influencing politicians. It's about switching things off instead of leaving them on standby, not driving big cars, cutting back or stopping flying. THESE things will make a HUGE difference!

  • There's no way I'm moving to Moon or Mars:) we should clean up the mess we made here on Earth!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is so inspiring - it is worth fighting!

  • Alright! We can do it!

  • Power to the people!

  • That's great!

  • Encouraging and inspiring. We can change things and take responsibility for our impact on the planet.

  • so true..

  • We should do something, our planet needs change

  • Impressive :)

  • I agree with androu21 it was impressive it should be done down here by the jersey shore where i live and in new york staten island where my kids live i know that they and there friends would take part in this as i would do down here

  • This is really impressive...We need to do this in Canada as well!

    Congratulations!

  • Excellent. We need to stop being passive and thinking we cannot make a difference. That's what stops change and what the money mongers rely on to keep destroying the earth for profit.  If more and more people start taking responsibility for their own actions, including ourselves, we can work miracles. Let's not stand idle anymore. Congratulations.

  • This is proof if proof were needed that individuals CAN make a difference!

  • We all are responsible: Safe energy and reduce pollution. There's just one earth. Let's take our chance.

  • Tod@s podemos colaborar con el Medio Ambiente !!

    We can all colaborete with Mother Earth !!

    Respetemos a nuestra Madre Tierra !!!!!!!!

  • Every human being must be involved in the preservation of our planet . I hope all the countries will have such laws ...

  • moved me to tears. wish we had such a law here is spain!!!

  • Thanks FOE ! Was brilliant to see results from all the hard campaigning. Lets keep the ball moving !

  • this video is fantastik!

  • support

  • amazing video! :D

  • how inspiring that the public is starting to take action and that the government is starting to listen ... hope this is the model for the future!

  • If Thom Yorke no longer feels that sense of hopelessness, what will happen to the best music of despair the world has ever heard? But seriously, it is so wonderful to see citizens' action being taken notice of by politicians. Keep it up, folks!

  • Congrats on the video it was very informative. i hope alot of people take notice

  • Inspirational.

  • Don't forget that our diet is responsible more than we think for the climate change!

  • don't forget that this battle has been won, but the war is far from over. don't get complacent, build on the momentum.

  • CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO MADE THAT POSSIBLE!

    I hope there will be achievement in Poznan, too!

  • I never realised . But, we can achieve caring sense! Wunderbar!

  • From the other side of the world....THANK YOU !!

  • People have power they just have to use that power in order to see results!

  • Global day of action climate!!!! let's make this world a better place =3

  • Impossible is nothing!Keep up the good work guyz!Well done!

  • inspiring; reminded me i can make a difference...

  • Together we can make a difference and change the world for the better!!

  • WOW!!!

    We can do it!!

  • awesome!! we can make it!! its all about support!! we need everybody to watch this...i know its possible!!

  • Time to change! There is only one way and only one chance!

  • Awesome job! Congrats!

  • GREAT!I wish everyone could see it.

  • I can't can't believe I didn't know about this campaign, what a huge victory.

  • and

  • If changes aren't implemented, we'll all be looked back on much as Nazi collaborators and appeasers are today.

  • Just goes to show, "We can do it!"

  • Just goes to show, "We can do it"!

  • if we want we can make the difference, lets go for it.

  • This campaign as much others that need support is awsome

    There should be more though

    and more information in every country of the world. New ways to get to people, making them listen.

    =D

    thnx for watching

  • I think it's great. We can all make a difference if we act together, let's take care of the Earth

  • this a great video... i wish everyone on the world could see it ... =)

  • this is a great video....

    i like it very much

  • I think that it'n not fault of anyone but of echone of us... especiallyour ascendants, but well, in fact the only thing that we can do is continue our search for the clue to stop the climate chage!

  • Great, keep up the pressure. This is the biggest issue that humans have ever faced throughout history. In 100 years me might all be just that - history!

  • NOTHING else will matter if the planet dies or more accurately, the climate changes, so that WE will die of starvation. If the land is too parched to grow food in some places and too wet in others, if crops die in freak frosts or heatwaves, we can't grow more. If our water table is contaminated with saline due to rising sea levels - big problem. This has to be the number 1 concern for everyone on this Earth. We are all responsible for what happens next.

  • What could be more important, let's hope politicians take some serious action soon!
