  • THIS MAN IS A HERO, folks!!

  • Everyone needs to see a movie called "who killed the electric car?"

    Oil is not even needed its just used cus of greed.

  • The ted conference, of by and for the globalist. What they wont tell you is that this was nothing more than crisis capitalism. All the insider trading that went on before this false flag even was about as obvious as could be. the delayed response and the solution of offering up the fraud known as Cap & Trade as A solution to A problem they created, Classic Problem Reaction Solution. Guess what, we know these douche bags that go to TED are wanna be eugenicist who support depopulation programs..

  • @AndyXplorer ever herped so hard you derped?

  • @AndyXplorer congratulations, you are the dumbest mother fucker on youtube

  • @AndyXplorer congradulations on all who cant think for themselves and belive this carp. Before you come at me and think i don't know what I am talking about, read up on some shit, give me some facts, then give me a reason i'm wrong. If you belive the goverment is not lying to you, then you probably belive in global warming, another made up goverment scam to get money out of businesses with their carbon shit ass credits. The fishermen of florida are back fishing, retards.The earth wins again

  • @AndyXplorer Don't worry, Andy, I don't believe in Carp. CARP IS A GOVT CONSPIRACY

  • How dare someone tell the truth like this!

  • Powerful talk. It's a call to arms and I'm afraid that people are just too apathetic to hear it. Wake up!

  • zz.. almost fell asleep.

  • I would have shot that dolphin and threw it in the freezer. Just kidding, this was a major screw up, but this guy sounds like a PETA pussy. He would probably start balling if I told him how many ducks I killed last hunting season.

  • @hawkermustang Your saying he "sounds like a PETA pussy". You call people who actually give a shit and educate others about the FACTS "pussies". This guy has more sense and balls than you'll ever have you ignorant prick. I hunt elk and deer and you hunt ducks........ wow, we are real men! Everyone else who cares about beings suffering and the destruction of ecosystems is just a pussy. I would love to throw you into that oil slick and see how you like it.

  • @gearlockT I hunt deer as well tough guy, Duck hunting is more work though. You wouldn't know though, you probably think you hunt tame ducks at the local park. B.P. wanted to drill in 500 ft. water, but the environmentalist and fools in the government said no, drill in 5000 ft. of water. This oil spill would have been much easier to deal with in 500ft water or on land. On land I could use your carcass to mop the oil up with.

  • @hawkermustang I don't even know where to begin to try and communicate with your retarded brain... You have senseless criticisms and you should just stop posting and go die somewhere.

  • @gearlockT Ok fruitcake go save a butterfly and strap yourself to a tree.

  • @hawkermustang

    Fuck off.

  • @hawkermustang A man who has to declare that he's a man is not a man. What classic closeted homosexual behavioral.

  • @hamnose That's cool I could fuck you tell you love me faggot! LOL

  • @hawkermustang Pathetic internet action figure. Is that supposed to be like shocking? Whatever dude. Like, I'm trying to get like, personally offended. but I have no idea what the fuck you're saying because jesus fucking christ, you can't even put a sentence together. Oh I see. Sorry but I don't speak troll. I just wanted to see if I could rattle your cage enough to get a reaction. Sucka. It helps increase the ratings and interest for this great video. So I already fucked you. How's it feel?

  • hmmmmmmmmmmm i thout c02 made plaints grow more plaints trees more air may be the erath is messd up by the wars greedy bankers

  • OMG, think about this. We know that the NWO is destroying the crops via genetic modification. See my video, "Over 2 million Americans Killed by GMO". What if ? Their intention is to poison the entire oceans and kill of the food supply from the oceans ? We know the NWO wants a Global Depopulation Reduction and we know they have their underground bases that are stocked up with over 100 years of food. To accomplish the depopulation agenda control food, water & air and that's how you kill EVERYONE.

  • Where did all the oil go?

  • This whole thing makes me so very sad. Thanks for sharing this information.

  • more TED sponsored propaganda. The oil spill never happened. See LENONHONOR films for his investigation on the BP oil spill. Fishing industry is losing revenue because they are not being permitted to fish. LENONHONOR takes a critical look at all of the photos. This guy is wrong about the coral reefs which depend on high carbon levels to proliferate. They love carbon.

  • Comment removed

  • Safina may be making good points, however - with the global warming comments at the beginning he is a certified loon so the entire presentation become not very credible.

  • How the fuck will they think down there, if their brain is burned of by corexit.

  • who's jokin...

  • @tlndofa see LENONHONORFILMS (dot) com...did the Oil Spill even take place?

    He analyzes the official media photos and newstories with a critical eye.

  • Very good talk,

  • I had a look at some of the dispersing agents they put in the oil spills and some are very toxic. However, these dispersing agents are also put in some shampoo and household cleaning products. The EPA allows these products because of corporate lobby and the bottom line: eugenics. We can be outraged and cry for the birds and fish, but you and your children are being attacked every day. Learn to read product labels; knowledge is power. Good luck it's a steep learning curve.

  • Thanks for sharing this burden.

  • @isambo400. If you loved those sea creatures and that beautiful Golf, crying would be the most appropriate response to this tragedy. Nobody wants to ride horses, people demand responsibility and consideration from the giant, greedy oil companies.

  • Fully agreed. At the very least, they are trying to hide the severity.

  • No one considered the possibility that maybe the dolphin was trying to warn the guys in the boat AWAY from the oil/dispersant?

  • 09:00 - impressive breakdown!

  • Damn, Im guessing the United Kindom will be the next war the USA will create.

  • great video, but unfortunately i think it is too late for america in particular, but also many other countries world wide. Most people are concerned about Britney spears, american idol and trying to outdo their neighbour. America as a nation is finished, true capitalism hasn't existed since 1913 when The Fed was created to steal your wealth. R.I.P. America  and welcome the N.W.O.

  • Can't reasonably argue with that. People have to start waking up. The curtain will be torn down. But what will happen to Lindsay?

  • First off, i really like how Mr. Safina talks with such devotion about nature in general.

    Having said that, the last joke in the Intel advertisement was really really funny.

  • The part about the dolpin at 8:00 is very sad. I truly hope this disaster leads to further investigation in alternative forms of energy...

  • Unbelievable this is total bullshit, they need to hold these companies responsible and shut them down. Not everything in life on this earth is about profit, assholes.

  • "apocalyptic"

    "All they know about life is they get up, and if there is oil in their car they go to work"

    If that experiment were done to scale, there would have been about 75 molecules of oil in that glass

    Did he just compare this to Pearl Harbor?

    "If Conservatives were really patriotic, they would tell these oil companies to go to Hell" Oh yeah? And then what, ride a horse to work? I don't tell him how to be a brain-dead socialist elitist.

    And was he crying during his own speech?

  • @isambo400

    Get a clue.

  • @isambo400

    You are a pretty ignorant person. Just think for a moment. Of course a glass of water doesn't perfectly represent the Gulf, it's just an example!

  • @Segerbauwens hes the scientist, ask him if it was appropriate. Although not many respected scientists kill fish without documented reason.

  • @isambo400 Wow, this is a great comment. I always have a hard time trying to encompass all the stupidity of conservatives. But you seem to be a natural at it. I'll have to look at some more of your comments to see if you are really this stupid or just trolling. Either way thanks for the poster boy comment.

  • @NaChenTian try watching my videos, those should answer all your questions ;)

  • @isambo400 oh I definitely see the relationship between a brain-dead socialist elitist and the scientific effects of the Gulf Oil spill. God damn hippy communists terk yer job! You're brilliant. Let me know when you're on TED next, you'll stick it to them socialists!

  • @isambo400

    Crying seems to me like an appropriate response to something so horrible.

  • Hear, hear!

  • The time for an Energy Revolution is long over due as we should have had this technology to make use of water as source of fuel back in 1985. Only time will tell how far the damage to the Gulf was done by this Corexit sprayed on us by BP when the stuff has been banned in their own country for use. The technology to make use of water as a source of fuel is out in the open now, so let the energy revolution begin!

  • What that Dolphin was doing was what the famous "Black Saturday" Koala did in Australia last year. It came to a human, David Tree, for a drink from desperation of the destruction of its envirnonment.

  • @supatipanno

    It's unbelievable to me that (most) people don't get this.

    Your comment is spot on.

  • "We know this", says Ted. BP is acting more like a foreign country than a oil company. It was reported that BP made a deal with the Libyans. BP used their influence to spring the Lockerbe bomber to freedom. They did this for oil drilling rights in Libya." You remember sitting in the theater watching Back To The Future and the Libyan Terrorist shooting from the van. But that was only a movie and a new world powered by solar was sold to you as the American Soldier deployed to Afghanistan.

  • There is another man a beach away that has solid fuel. Tires that he took from Toyota cars that were on a container ship that hit the rocks and listed. You walk to Ted's Beach to do a deal and get news. Ted has a radio from the ship with batteries. He is the only one that gets some news. "The county is fourteen trillion dollars in debt." You remember the days when your parents gave you a better world. You think what can I give my kids? Oil from the beach? That damn solar power dream?

  • You raise your head to look into the sun. A shadow is before you. It's a girl in her twenties with a digital video camera digitizing you in an unshaven condition. You think of the days of YouTube when you sat at your keyboard and argued Sun. She asks if you would be interested in trading the camera for a gallon of oil. You trade her. She walks into the shimmering mirage. Then you take the camera and find out she didn't digitize you because there is no batteries in the camera. Damn those dreams!

  • In the depths of the depression, you hope for more oil to wash ashore. The lamp needs some. Damn, you remember there is not enough fire wood to burn but you can add some books for a quick start and some skid wood for a couple hour burn. You want to move inland but there is no oil to find inland. You feel the solar energy of the warm south on your skin and think it best to stay. No oil up North. Maybe you can get a job at the windmill factory, but you're not politically connected.

  • Stupid american government is only interested in money. That´s how this happened. Always hated Bush.

    This is a SHAME.

    I say WAR to BP. Hack their web page, break all those pump stations.

  • @godmoc You have no respect for people's property. I hope your comment is engraved on your headstone.

  • @agent008hammer It wasn´t me who started this, i don ´t spill any oil into the ocean... But BP doesn´t have respect for all of us, sure, i don´t respect them.

  • We can solve all this and so much more. It will require the complete redesign of our culture, and not the useless and temporary patch-work we have been trying to add to an inherently corrupt system.

    Check out "The Venus Project" and join "The Zeitgeist Movement."

  • @krazytim

    i hate zeitgeist because its a pile of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience spiced up with some good old ideas that they relabel to make them look new. but its the pseudoscience and paranoia that i cannot tolerate.

    zeitgeist is inherently for people that are not really thinking that scientifically/critically, but think they do.

  • @kurtilein3

    I understand your perspective, but you are only right about the first film. It was an artistic expression about the corruption in the world. I personally don't care for conspiracy theories, and I don't believe that 9/11 was an inside job.

    With that said, The Venus Project is the focus of the second film, and it poses a realistic solution to many of the problems in the world. I urge you to watch Addendum and give it a chance. It is NOT psuedoscience. :)

  • @kurtilein3 Your reply holds more weight than all the phony thumbs up ratings added together from the entire YouTube. Based on your response, I will take a look at the Venus Project video that you recommend.

  • 8:30 - 9:10 What a terrible, heart-touching story. We should not forget that other stories like this exist. However, the other disasters nrmally do not take place near the coast of the USA. Siberia, other platforms...

    It might be time to think if it is really necessary to drive Hummers, yachts etc. Big is not beautiful. Especially Americans ought to start consuming more wisely..

  • @markus310773 The dolphin wanted to pump some gas into the fisherman's tank because the fisherman didn't know he was going to run out of gas. Dolphin Gas!

  • BULLETIN! Safina breaks down and admits to the truth, the truth of selling a lie and the toll it has taken on his psyche. This is a YouTube exclusive. The pressure of producing a result that goes against natural forces is revealed in his candid statement! There is no clapping as he walks away from the camera.

    watch?v=_gd6iFOFdpM

    at 3:18 to the end.

  • The Stone age did not end because we ran out of rocks.

    (f/ C. Safina's TEDtalk)

  • I am right with this man! Governments are useless, we, the people of the world, have to step in and take control of our lives and environment, we cannot delegate this to corrupted politicians.

  • @dec041 I agree. The problem is that democracy is just an ideal but power doesn't come from ideas. Real tangible power comes from money. For the most part, the people making the money have the strongest push in government (e.g. lobbying), or else they ensure the people sharing their views are directly running it. The reason this whole disaster occurred was because BP didn’t want to spend the money to maintain what was supposed to be multiple layers of precautions.

  • @alteritY9k Sounds like your are talking claptrap on your phone, you are losing it.

  • @agent008hammer Just because the concepts are over your head doesn't mean it's nonsense. Or else you would be able to backup that statement.

  • I love all your videos

    TOO bad I chose pharmacy over Marine biology

    How can I help>>????

  • @rx4unyc

    design pills that make people smarter and/or more compassionate ;)

  • Comment removed

  • And here is one more for the disbelievers;

    watch?v=nbki-GwLxJU

  • @agent008hammer You must realize you're in the minority opinion on your belief that global warming is a hoax. Your arguments would not hold water unless you could convince us of this first. As such, this is when I mumble to myself, 'oh... one of those', and walk away.

  • @alteritY9k Minority as compared to what majority? And for the sake of argument; because a opinion is considered minority does that make it wrong? Factor in the pollution in the production of manufacturing the alternative energy product that will produce alternative energy. Egad! Walk away in a dream and remain ignorant is better than reality in a pipe dream, right?

  • @agent008hammer “Minority as compared to what majority?” Scientific consensus of course, which seems to be in the 97-98% range among climatologists. That is, unless you believe they’re covering up the ‘facts’.

    It's not that you're difinitively wrong. Just that the people looking at the evidence all seem to be leaning in the other direction.

  • Big oil already knows about water engines. A simple conversion can make your car run on water. Search video on Daniel Dingel or Dingle, etc. That dolphin at the boat story made me cry like a baby. I feel powerless over what's happened down there. Hydrogen is the fuel of the future. It's NOT dangerous anymore than gas. The lies are spread by big oil. People start investigating alternatives for yourself. Ultimately all the fuel we'll need comes from the Sun. It gives to us freely. No metering.

  • @marjorielard

    "A simple conversion can make your car run on water"

    How would that even be possible? There's nothing in water to bind it to oxygen anymore.

  • The cheapest energy may be slavery, but I'm still not comfortable with it. Somehow having slaves would just seem wrong to me.

  • @Fuliginosus Slavery and fossil fuels are being likened to each other in the arguments presented against abolishing them... "too expensive"; "would destroy economy". Viable technology exists that has been suppressed, and some remains open source in development... I'm sad that those I know who've been working on alternative vehicles are either underground and secretive about coming out or are working collectively on projects which take time to get of the ground & refine.

  • Silent Spring has arrived.

    BP killed the planet.

  • @Rockwellbabe2

    we all did. well not poor prople in third world countries but most of us in the '' developed '' world.

    and we have had the information for decates.

  • oh shit. that's bad

  • LOL evil corporations lmao

  • Renewable energy (biofuel, biomass, geothermal, hydroelectricity, solar energy, tidal power, wave power, wind power) and possibly nuclear energy ARE the future.

    They are because they have to be. But how fast we can make this change will make all the difference...

  • @alteritY9k Explain, "They are because they have to be." In that statement of yours you will discover the answer to 'alternative'. With the exception of nuclear energy, that energy is the best bang for the buck. Ask the French if you don't believe me. Au revoir - leave you in the dust to talk 'solar' (hehe).

  • @agent008hammer It's trivially obvious that fossil fuels are more cost efficient but these costs don't factor in pollution, global warming, or the fact that such fuel sources are finite and we will need to find alternatives regardless. The argument against their use is that in fact they are not cost efficient at all and are potentially so destructive that we have to find alternatives as soon as humanly possible. If you want to argue with this, provide scientific evidence.

  • @alteritY9k Ok, you asked for it, here it is;

    The Myth of Free Energy

    watch?v=p4bktAJ25QE

    watch?v=8rv0dj4fByg

    watch?v=P1qsLsbOpHQ

    in three parts.

  • @agent008hammer Cheap production, bad/no science, strawman arguments. Nothing to see there.

    Of course the manufacturing and production takes an investment but once it’s done it won’t require a constant supply of coal or oil. The same is true for a powerplant. But a wind turbine for ex won't constantly spew out gasses into the atmosphere. Excluding the conspiracy theorists one would imagine the people that do those kind of analysis have done the numbers. Oh right, I had almost forgotten...

  • @alteritY9k I know you almost forgotton this demonstration; The mechanic in the body shop needs to bend a length of quarter inch steel by one inch wide by three foot long. He has to make a neat radius bend. He takes out his propane torch and heats the steel until it becomes cherry red. He makes the radius bend. It took him five minutes. The clean energy guy sees this and says, "use solar power to heat the metal". He takes a magnifying glass out of his pocket and directs the beam of the sun...

  • @agent008hammer ... on to the metal to be bent. He stands there until the sun goes down. The metal never gets cherry red. An exercise in futility? I think so. The man says it doesn't work because of economy of scale. He constructs a solar array 100 feet by 20 feet but the water only get up to 190 degrees, not the 500 degrees required to turn the metal cherry red. So much for economy of scales and the manufacturing industry. Moral; a torch in had in the shop is worth more than a glass in pocket.

  • @agent008hammer First, bad analogy. Even small scale has an effect. Second, no reason it can't work large scale. I’ve seen this issue addressed before. Third, your argument is still initial costs without even looking at later costs. Forth, your assumption that climate change is not human-caused which makes your arguments unconvincing from the other side with different priorities than immediate cost.

  • Wudder!

  • The next car you buy should be a hybrid car. No excuses.

  • The dolphin story was one of the saddest things I have EVER heard.

  • Reallly upsetting talk. Never again. We have to stop before the oceans are dead.

  • God dambd oil industry go to hell

  • You know what I hate? Simple minded people on all political and non political spectrums. There may be a right and wrong, but rarely is everything as black and white as people like Safina would have you believe. Not all corporations are evil, nor are all corporations greedy. BP clearly is, but from that making the conjecture that corporations need to go is not only extremist, but misinformed and naive. Shades of grey idiots, shades of grey.

  • @sparklymage you fit right into the idiot section, no shades of gray with you.

  • @koskoni Oh do tell, why am I an idiot? Your insult is just brimming with intelligent thought.

  • he uses too many puns in his slides... bad puns...

  • 17:45: *crickets*

    I guess he expected applause there.

  • Words we need to hear. This is the information we need to keep hearing until there is no more oil in the gulf.

  • Nevermind the comments of agent008hammer. He is just a troll, disinfo agent, and criminal.

  • This makes me cry so much! :(

  • I love scientists and the earth, but I'm gonna vote this thumbs down:

    CORRECT:

    We fucked up the environment, we shouldn't have done that.

    BULLSHIT:

    Fossil-fuel companies conspire to keep us from using renewable energy.

    The spill was the government's fault.

    Harsher regulations will fix the problem.

    -----

    It's clear, beyond any reasonable doubt, that our oil-hungry culture is to blame, And there are only two solutions: change our fuck-tarded cultural agenda, or bring the price of renewables down.

  • @Ipoonthecasbah How are you going to bring the price of renewables down, by some magic act? You got most right but if you go with renewables then you will pay the equivalent of thirty dollars a gallon fuel for your kiteweight crate. You're almost there. It's called born again and seeing reality. Smile. Peace. Capitalism.

  • @agent008hammer Yeah, either we have to change our culture, and be willing to pay that much because we know it's good for our society, or we need to fund a lot more research developing new technologies which would ultimately bring the price down.

  • @Ipoonthecasbah 'Funding Technologies", not from my pocket, no thanks. I know where that money goes. Just take a look at criminal Al Gore and his scheming with our tax money. Innovation doesn't come with funding, innovation comes from need and an inventor through discovery. Money does not guarantee a discovery. This is more than just a marble being dipped in water by a kindergartner.

  • @agent008hammer I believe that your tinfoil is coming unglued.

  • @DeSwiss Your belief is wrong. I don't wear a tinfoil. So what is your point little one? Get it out. Make your stand.

  • @Ipoonthecasbah You're a moron. You can give it a thumbs down, but at least give a reason worth doing it for.

    Get your head out of the sand. Lobbyists for these oil companies are constantly in the mix with renewable energy, they contribute largely to throwing wrenches in the machine.

    Perhaps you should realize what you say when you post it. Bring the price of renewable energy down, it's all fine and good to say. But doing is an entirely different game.

    Get informed.

  • It's interesting that the very human lives that are impacted by the oil leak (fishermen, vacation beach hotel owners, etc..) are they themselves only made possible by the oil. Likely 95% of the people living around the gulf, are part of the oil/gas economy. The fisherman catches fish to feed the oilman.

    Left, right, liberal, conservative, we all need our oil "fixes" desperately. There's no way to get the oil out without risking these sorts of leaks. Risks can be reduced, not eliminated.

  • Dont blend us with the GOV-shart about the CO2 lie. Every (green) plant doing photosynthese needs CO2 and gives us the O2 we breath and burn. Plants grow faster the more Co2 they get.

    Nevertheless some facts he told are true.

    But everybody clapping to him were driving home with there oversized cars burning iraqy oil, wich is "not" your obvious problem!!!

    You hypocrates worrying the "poor animals" dieing in oil dont care about humans dieing for your enourmous oil consumption.

    ill society

  • @mihdd What makes you assume that the people at TED are driving gasoline cars? Only the Christian Right believes that CO2 emissions are a lie. CO2 is causing climate change and it's been proven a million times now. Yes, indeed this is an ill society when people are anthropocentric!!!!!!!!

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest You must be Al Gore. You sound like him.

  • @agent008hammer Thank you. I love Al Gore. Ha, he does not have time to write comments on YouTube. :0)

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest

    1. The majority of US-cars is oversized. Its a status symbol in your country.

    2. The emission is not the lie, but the climate change caused only by CO2!

    3. Unlimited capitalism is the bigger problem (the cause) than anthropocentrism, in his case too.

  • @mihdd Only a dimwitted Camel Jockey would make such a statement. But then again hey, you are a dimwitted camel jockey.

  • @agent008hammer

    OK, nice discussing with you

    i love you too.

    Male kisses from occupied europe !!

    :D

  • @mihdd OK. Have fun on the camel.

  • This guy is awesome! Too bad Obama isn't as fired up and pissed off as he is. If corporations want the rights of individuals then I say we give the responsibilities too. Eleven people, countless animals, and thousands of jobs were destroyed by this spill. If that doesn't deserve capital punishment I don't know what does.

  • @pongfonge How about manslaughter while writing a book under the influence of oil?

  • watch december 21, 2012 be the day we all realize that the oil leak is so bad that it literally ends our way of life. can anyone see an end to this leak in sight?

  • @SheepRCool17 Stop this fucking bullshit about 2012.

    We are trying to speak about *real* problems, here.

  • @TucoBenedictoPax was half joke half serious, sorry.

    i was comparing how monumental the oil spill is by comparing it to a prediction of the end of the world. metaphor

  • the government exists to prevent this kind of bullshit

  • It is time to STOP pumping oil! PERIOD.

  • @greob Then we will have to pump Ethyl!

  • @greob Thank you. I fully agree.

  • @greob OIL is the little known LIFEBLOOD OF EARTH. NOT US~Anyone who pumps, supports, or is any less than totally against taking the blood of Earth from it is no better than a vampire, mosquito, or flea. Ever wonder why there has been such a vampire hype over the years? Its to get people fully comfortable with the idea, inhumanity that is blood drinking, and their place as mother suckers.

  • @LazyOtaku Your dumb statement is cloaked in blood and vampirism. You've been watching too much Lon Cheney.

  • @agent008hammer Who?

  • @greob and what will you replace oil with?

  • @samsabruskongen Magic, duh.

  • @bioman123 hehe

  • @greob LOL, period

  • @greob this is so unrealistic. things cannot change overnight.

  • @greob idiot ... stop using it then ... period ... supply and demand ... we are the once that want it not big corp ... big corp does not care if they sell you oil or they sell you electric cars .. you are just not willing pay more for the latter ... that's all

  • @greob this is a bad idea... really bad idea

    it'd be like being scared of nuclear plants because chernobyl wasn't taken care of properly, better regulation and anti-cheapest possible method would solve this kind of problem, period

  • @noobler9

    let's just hope that methane don't blow.

  • @greob Time to stop driving your car PERIOD!

  • @greob Find/develop the substitute, then you can place that period

  • @greob It's perfectly safe to drill in places like Montana, where there is an estimated 2.4 billion barrels. They need to stop drilling in UNSAFE places. Russians are digging shale oil on their own turf, and it's perfectly safe.

  • this just shows you how powerless we really are, all the technology in the world can't work fast enough fix an oil leak

  • @triforcelink Yes it can if we humans will work together to really solve the problems. We are not powerless at all. We have all the technology in place, we even have oil eating microbes which have been tested. If it's not being implemented then the problem is not being solved. The real problem here is greed.

  • Finally TED addresses a current home issue and points the finger at the Lobbyist Scum taking over Government!

  • BP chairman Hayward, Goldman Sachs, certain Hedge Funds all sold 40%+ of their BP shares just weeks before the disaster! Halliburton didn't seal the well casing adequately but bought Boots & Coots just weeks before they got the oil spill clean up contract. The Fed's prevent States from protecting their own land and hire goons to keep citizens off the beaches. Government refuses international assistance although badly needed. It was Government who forced BP to drill so deep. CORRUPTION.

  • Wasn't expecting that talk to go so...volatile and political. Very true though, the old ways are coming to an end and dying a violent death. America isn't capable of leading the way forward anymore, and is too big to move to quick change. The endless appeal system will stall things indefinitely.

  • @breaneainn Yeah I hear you, vote em all out in the next lection.

  • Comment removed

  • Great touching Story on the dolphin @8:30

  • Does it mean I'm a nerd cuz i laughed at that IBM commercial?

  • Do not ever vote for the BP party again. The Republican party wants the US government to apologize to BP, drill baby drill, opposes any off shore moratorium on drilling until drilling safety has been reviewed, and wants to give the oil companies more control and less regulation. Vote Republican and kill the oceans, that's what it comes down to. No more oil payoffs to our Congressmen! Stop Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich and his oil buddies now!

  • @emaildoctor Nothing like a good strong shot of ICE-9 right about now.

  • Who the hell would thumb-down this video???

  • @tomaz2007 Just the opposite, who the hell would give it a thumbs up?
