  • Recycling and using less energy is just USELESS in the end. The REAL problem for humanity is overpopulation, all sources of pollution is leading back to many people. Using less energy like on the video is just messing with the details. If people limited children to only 1-2, and the global population went down then pollution would no longer be a problem. For every person doing so on the video they save energy for 0.000001% of a children's lifetime use of energy...

  • Inconvenient truth = convenient LIE

    many people will try to guilt you into supporting the poorly founded, farfetched, absurd theory of manmade global warming, but just remember this, they have been studying this lie for 30 years and they are still no closer to proving it than the day they started, on the other side there is NEW evidence with every passing day that their theory doesnt come into fruition that they are wrong. i know what the truth is, can you accept the truth or are you guilty?

  • SAVE THE EARTH! KILL UR SELF!

  • if ppl still do not believe that the earth is warming up way faster than it should be or they still do not care, they are either misinformed or are simply too scared or lazy to make any sort of changes to their life for the protection of our planet. Come visit holland and c the changes for yourself. its so hot here we can make wine from our own soil now. this was impossible fiew years back cause it was just too cold.

  • I'm going to start turn off every light I'm using. I'm saving energy, lolz.

  • the ozone layer should do it's job then

  • Hey! You forgot the most important thing you greenie's can do to curb carbon emissions. Stop breathing!

  • The vampire loads are not something people should be surprised about. Obviously when you see that light, the thought that goes into your mind is electricity. If not, what is causing that tiny little bulb inside to lgith up? It's simple common sense really..

  • Oh wow, save 10 watts unplugging the VCR, this is child's play, it's insignificant, if you really want to reduce and save the planet then DONT HAVE 3 KIDS!

    Every kid you dont have means one car, one entire house are totally eliminated, one utility hookup not being made, tons of trash and pollution not being produced, and all that food, water, clothes, oil, plastics etc not being used.

  • @dersheeple i am going to have 20 kids to piss you off

  • trruuuee

  • this is human nature

  • I personally do wish China would begin to see the problems of global warming, even being Chinese myself. If it's taken this long for North America to see their faults, with so many people in China, the task will be much more difficult. But hopefully, one day, before it's too late, people will begin to see. ^^

  • Yea but they want to get to i guess he level of success as US... they have a chance to grow the right way and we must change not tell them "do as I say not what i do" ...

  • Yup, the East has some 'Western fetish' let's call it...but hey, perhaps they'll merge soon enough to realize that we're all just humans.

  • Hi very informative thanks.I invite you to be a friend...

  • Why is it in fahrenheit????

  • b/c America rules the world.

  • Actually, Europe does. America is a meaningless country with no future.

  • How could you say that? That's just ignorant--mind you, I'm not saying America rules everything, but really, you can't just sweep it aside with a comment like that.

    or you're just a troll... damnit.

  • Oh, yes I can. And the two people who gave me a thumbs up agree with me. Stupid American.

  • Then they're also ignorant. Good day.

  • No country is "better" than one another... c'mon. We're all the same, we just live in different parts of the world. You are no better than me, or no worse than me. The only thing you are, is ignorant, and I am not.

  • Silence, American. Your country of choice nullifies any argument you could possibly make.

  • Silence, simpleton. Your bigotry and incompetence vitiates your feeble proposition.

    The peoples of the world are in this fight against climate change together and the sooner we realize it, the better off we will be.

  • haha, we are so fucked.

  • parents are gonna watch this, say they should look into it, but they wont do anything

  • Oh yes if we all unplug EVERYTHING electric in our house when not using it, airplanes will fly faster, turtles will find their way to the sea, terrorists will change their way, and rainbows will spread globally.

  • no but it will make a difference....ignorant...bet ur american.

  • OK TURN EVERYTHING off STARTING WITH U COMPUTER AND RIDE U HORSES TOMORROW.AND ALSO DONT BREATH U R EXPELEN CO2 ..lol,you guys dont have to much time

  • are you retarded itcount? you live on this planet you arnt a visitor you fuckbag you originated here and your genes that make you up evolved on this planet. and its not a hunk of shit, your mindset is a hunk of shit.

  • cryps1---You mean the most simplest of life will probably survive. Like bacteria and plants. but some plants are very complex and some have more genes than humans.

  • The earth will be a wasteland sometime in the future. No living things can possibly survive. Maybe the most complex creatures will. It wont be like the dinosaurs, a quick, unexpected death. We know about it and it will be a slow suffuering. We are all gonna die. Just accept the fact that you are.

  • you know how much energy you made me waste by watching this video?

  • lol

  • first time i'v heard them call it a vampire load. all i hear is phantom loads. wiki it

  • It's funny how people are making such a big deal anout pollution now, when it was worse in the past.

  • yes true, things a little more efenacet now but theres more people are more exes to pollution some or just a little bit

    things add up quickly with a lot of people

  • Google: "global warming mars"

  • its so funny how ppl are like i dont care WHEN ITS UR MONEY THATS GOING OUT THE WINDOW!!

  • I love the narrator's tone. It's like he is Mr. Know-it-All. But heck, everything alive must die. Let's just live life to the fullest while we still have it. Don't let Mr. Know-it-All scare you. =D

  • wow ur just lazy because of that act u can save thousands of pople from dieing but just because of that act of lazyness u kill and you dont care bc ur just crual like that

  • hm...in my opinion, even though we cut down everything and use the least amount of electricity as we can, we will still be producing pollutants, although in small amounts, it is still surely collecting. Just like the efforts to bring pollution down; slowly but surely. That's the way the world works, its only a matter of time before the earth cant take it anymore and it would be unsuitable for life.

  • lol. Nation and Discovery narrator tone are so nice. We are dooom!!

  • we have it all & we fucked up.

  • As long as the World bank and capitalist exist we will never get away from fossil fuel. People for over a century have proposed free and alternative energy starting with Nicola Tesla. What J.P. Morgan did to him is happening to all of them. The biggest joke in the whole thing was tolled in "Who Killed The Electric Car?"

  • I thought it was "phantom loads" - not vampire loads.

  • well,the goverments will continue to use oil until we run out. It is a huge business. We need it for plastic, for fuiling, pestecides and a lot more. More wars will be fought in the name of "freedom" or "self-defence" for the sake of gaining that which is left of oil. Who ever controls the Gold, controls the world and Oil is nothing, but a valuable re$ource.

  • We're doomed:

    1. The US will say "No!" because they fear disadvantages in global economic competitiveness.

    2. The oil and gas exporting countries will say "No!" because they want to fill their pockets to the death.

  • stuped

  • You have to be retarded. Why would you say this is stupid?

  • its ironic that you spelled stupid wrong (stuped?)

    Stupid moron

  • Be concerned about Global Warming. The world is in eminent danger because of it; the 5000 death-, 25000 wounded-, $1 trillion dollar-cost of the Iraq war is no biggie, forget about it.

    Focus on the ice caps. They are of concern.

  • This just in: You're on about 12 different drugs, you don't even know it, and you have the FDA to thank for it. Youtube: "Aspartame, MSG, Dumbing Down Society" "Fluoride Call to Action" "Fox Nutrasweet Equal Aspartame" "MSG Part One" "Milk The Deadly Poison" "Poisonous Salt" "Cured Meat Danger"
  • The polar ice caps on mars are melting too.

    Google it.

  • Damn, they really are pushing that Global Carbon Tax.

  • If there was a world crime Paper, Humans is the first for destroying the Planet and i deserve to die for this

  • informative video. :)

  • All my life I have respected National Geographic.

    For many years it was the best source for information about the world, the physical world.

    Fine pictures and informative, non-political, articles. No people hardly ever, just mountains and rivers and deserts and trees and plants and animals.

    There is a new order at National Geographic is seems. The message is political.

    I have lost my interest, in and respect for, National Geographic.

  • Non-political? Please. National Geographic has been showing nature documentaries for decades. If you didn't whine about their calls for natural resource conservation and endangered species protectionism as liberal communistic Greenpeace eco-terrorism then, why are you bitching about calls for carbon emissions curtailing now?

  • Probably because I simply wasn't aware that NG had strayed so far afield. I admit I haven't read National Geographic since the early 80s.

    My bad. ;p)

  • Sadly, nobody gives a shit, we are doomed lol

  • i like this video. we tend to forget that driving our car or burning coal/oil doesn't just release co2 but it releases pollutants that poison our air. even if i believed for a second that global warming is a hoax, i would still argue for changing our sources of power and the cars we drive. people are choking and dying from the smog, it's not just an ecological/climatological issue, it's a public health issue and that affects everyone.

  • you are walking around like you are enlightened or something. you are the one being brainwashed fool. and the money is all funneled toward alex jones and company.

  • yep

  • my fellow PEOPLE, Time is running out!

  • so?..

  • Sure, let's worship at the altar of Al Gore. He doesn't care about the climate; He's making money off trading carbon credits! Meanwhile, his followers cut down their usage so he can build another house. Celebrities are the same way. That's the real story of how the rich get richer! Work to have China stop burning coal to heat their houses, and work to stop the burning of oil fields in Africa. You can't act "locally" to prevent "global" warming. We're stepping over a dollar to pick up a nickel.

  • lets see probably the future dumbass

  • yeah... im sure turning one of the most famous geysers in yellowstone, perhaps the world into a generator would be great

  • Nice to see, the world's doing something about Global Warming.

  • I notice that none of these videos comment on a fact I read that emissions from farm factory animals is almost twice as great as all the cars combined. If people would become Vegans or vegetarians, then I would believe that we are serious.

  • I was kind of looking forward to climactic catastrophe, since the worlds so boring right now where I live. I guess I shouldn't be though.. it's not like the movies where at the end everything goes back to normal

  • "Rich countries like us."

    The U.S isn't rich. They owed the LARGEST national debt EVER.

    They owe as much as 1 trillion dollars (1,000,000,000,000) from China ALONE.

  • bit more (~43 tril.)

    ;)

    just had to point it out :)

  • That's why I ride my bike to work!

  • Who cairs....After we use all of our supplys Whe're just going to find another planet

    gah and then well just start over lol

    with better knowledge of how not to use our rescources so quick

  • Good info!

  • Can't we just kill everybody in the developing countries?

    Much easier...

    (i'm joking-> for you bleeding hearts out there.)

  • Earth will be destroyed anyway so there is no point saving it we should live life to the MAX!!

  • Over Population of our Planet is the True Problem. Humans are like a Virus, Multiplying until there is no more room. We need to kill a few billion people. That should help Global Warming.

  • are you willing to die?

    dont say shit like that, the world wont get better like that anyways. "kill off" a few people, and were no better than hitler

  • Swaryne: If I thought my death would help the planet, the answer would be, YES! I am willing to die if it helps and so should you be. I would rather Die and save our Planet than let our Planet DIE.. Put it this way, If our Planet Dies, You Die. It's a simple Fact.

  • go kill yourself

  • MitchSinger: If I had a very good reason to do it, I would, Gladly... Would you be brave enough to do it?

  • of course i wouldn't kill myself... I want it to get warmer... I hate winter. The planet will die long after I'm dead... not my problem!

  • What about your kids?

  • duderseb: My kids will be happy that it's warm out and they don't have to walk to school in the snow!!

  • ur Kids probably will not be happy if the Sun fried their brains neither.

    Do u understand that there are countries up there that will sink in water, what about those Kids? they go to school to.

  • hahahhahahah mitch i agree rofl not my problem either XD

  • DamiansChannel: There is no bravery in killing yourself moron!

  • The earth IS going to end sooner or later. Even if we stop "global warming"

  • Good then we don't need you contaminating the gene pool.

  • VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS! REPUBLICANS WILL KEEP THE STATUS QUO! Bush and the republicans have blocked action for the past 6 years. Do you think they suddenly understand in November?

    No.

  • im gonna be the best energy saver ever!!!!!!!!

  • You don't need your computer :D Save the environment

  • If it takes thousands of years, billions of people, and millions of cars to change the climate, there is no way for any saving to make sense. Forget it, if global warming is true, we are doomed anyways.

  • Ditto!!

  • If the human species was dumb enough to create global warmimg it sure aint clever enough to solve it

    We're from a species that didnt evolve quickly enough and our time is up - dont recycle - resign

  • lol, hahahahaha True!

  • Global warming is a natural event...we just caused it to speed up.

    [sarcasm]But that's great you're not just running your mouth on the Internet to show off how moronic you are.[/sarcasm]

  • and once more in English please...

  • Psh. Are poeple /still/ beleiving we evolved from monkies?

    Talk about the human race being stupid.

  • who mentioned monkeys?? (by the way - you spelled it wrong)

    You also spelled believing wrong

  • And worshipping a god that can not be proven is genius

  • now I going to shut down all my electronics appliances that use electricity even my iMac, so see you later guys :)

  • Global Warming

    makes me sad.

    =[[[

  • yay for globalwarming

  • Regardless of climate change, improving energy efficiency and conservation is the only smart thing to do. We are incredibly wasteful, without even thinking about it (such as with "vampire loads"). If you don't care about the environment, if you don't care about the world you are leaving the next generations, at least care about the extra money you spend unnecessarily.

  • excellent point, hopefully logic like that can convince more people, you'd be surprised how stupid people can be.

  • How can you disagree with global warming? That's like saying you agree with crime and harm towards innocents.

    The case is different but the sense is the same; we're harming our planet, a planet that gives us nutrients, a beautiful home and much more.

    Only we can fix the harm we've caused, what's so difficult to understand about that?

  • I remember not even that long ago we were saying another ice age is coming. And plus if you say something enough and for long enough people will believe it

  • That's true. But the "ice age" that you're talking about would happen during our children's lives rather than our own. Here the problem is legitimate because we are destroying our planet by our wasteful living. You wouldn't let a pipe keep on leaking in your own house, would you? Well our planet will eventually be overrun by pollution if we don't all work together to fix that pipe.
