Kumi Naidoo's Speech at the COPenhagen Global Day of Action

[Blockfather]

This is our moment to put our hands on the arc of history. (remember Barack Obama). If we don't act now, than we will always regret it. If we act now we can say to our grand children that we have tried.

Greenpeace is a terrorist organization lead by bunch of girls

[beatriztur]

@yaplan59 what did you say that they remove your words?

[yaplan59]

@beatriztur They say that "Greenpeace is a terrorist organization."

[beatriztur]

@yaplan59 And I'm Alice searching for Wonderland ... lol

[yaplan59]

@talibala Terrorist ?

Do you know really Greenpeace ? I don't think...

[terraalert]

@arthurkitchen ~ You should do some research so you have a basic understanding of the scientific consensus on climate change. The accepted position is that the effect of climate change left unchecked on man kind is monstrous.

[talibala]

Wrong.

[arthurkitchen]

We haven't come this far to turn back the clock and live like cavemen, I drived a Hummer and have a huge house that is lit up like the sun 24/7 and has none of these little pathetic light bulbs that look like shit. i even have a stage with hundreds of good, old fashion 1000 watt par cans to light my music room. i will burn trash when I want to and like being able to look at the smoke stacks of the coal electric plant. I can breath fine and if you can't, tough shit!

[SophieBysGreen]

I almost cried at that speech..it was really touching!:)

[Shellianne]

BRILLIANT speech! It should have been the lead story on every news channel & program in the world. Where was it!

[verdefull]

dam those immigrants from third world made this climate change... :D

[Brixer1]

Climate change deniers? There is NO climate change deniers. The discussion is about CO2 and how it impact the earths temperature. Funny how the entire 'movment' ran away from 'man made global warming' to 'climate change' as the so called 'proof' was questioned.

Yes, climate is changing, as it has done since before dinosaurs roamed the planet. Sending money to UN/World Bank WONT change those cycles.

[wakassjak]

No it didn't. There is no debate as to whether human activity is causing global warming; we've known releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere could have this effect for over 100 years. Either you've bought into the multi-million dollar campaign by corporations to cloud the truth, or you're part of it.

[arthurkitchen]

You are just a pathetic idiot!

[talibala]

Or you're wrong.

[wideshutuk]

Greenpeace? You mean the group the founder had to leave because it was infiltrated by communists? The group that had to admit they exaggeratedata for their own agenda? The group that made an ass of themselves when lord Monckton interviewed a member? the group that thinks polar bears are drowning in the thousands?

Greenpeace wouldn't know real peace and activism if it stole all their food for biofuel.....oh right that already happened to the 3rd world!

Go away you sick deluded propagandists!

[arthurkitchen]

What a complete bunch of fools and idiots afraid to live and worried about earth. Nothing humans do will harm the earth so get over it!

[terraalert]

@arthurkitchen, climate change deniers are such sad people. Fortunately, most in the world understand the science and we will eventually gather the strength to generate the policies to avoid the worst consequences of climate change.

[arthurkitchen]

Oh no, I completely understand the science and realize that humans have nothing to do with it and the earth will continue to change, with or without humans doing anything. If every human on earth were to die, the earth would do exactly what it is doing now, and that is the painful truth to freaks like you. Live your life and quit worrying!

[terraalert]

@arthurkitchen, you're a conspiracy theorist. You don't understand the science. You prefer opinion, conjecture and rumor over the scientific method. Your conclusions are worthless.

[arthurkitchen]

OMG, I am the absolute, complete opposite of that. I have studied the science for years to come to these consclusions. There is no solid science that can prove that we have done anything to change our atmosphere or climate, absolutely none!!!! it is you trying to scare people that is really worthless.

[terraalert]

@arthurkitchen, can you name a few recognized scientific academies that have come to the same conclusion, or do they all disagree with your analysis? Hmmm... no need to answer, it's a rhetorical question.

[arthurkitchen]

Better yet, why don't you list even one reputable scientist that believes otherwise. By the amount of negative thumbs on my posts, we obviously have a large group of liberal idiots on here.

[terraalert]

@arthurkitchen, hahaha... you can't even come up with a single scientific academy that supports your argument. How sad!

[arthurkitchen]

Ok, since you are such an idiot

Habibullo Abdussamatov, Scientist and head of space research for Pulkovo Observatory, Russian Academy of Sciences

Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu, Physicist and former director of both University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute and International Artic Research Center

Dr. Sallie L. Baliunas, Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

Dr. Norman Borlaug, Agricultural scientist, father of Green Revolution

And the list goes on !

[terraalert]

@arthurkitchen, that's four scientists (none of which are Climatologists) and zero scientific academies. I could list four scientists who believe evolution is false! The reason you can't come up with a reputable scientific academy to support your theory is because they all agree with the scientific consensus. In science, it doesn't get much clearer than the connection between our changing climate and man's activities since the industrial revolution.

[arthurkitchen]

Ok , since we can both come up with our petty lists, let's ask the important question. Who really cares if we are warming up the earth? I sure don't. I feel that if we really are, it is no big deal. I couldn't care less if the oceans rise and wipe out coastal villages or not. It has happened for millions of years and those people living there will move inland and be done with it. Certain species will die, others won't, but humans WILL live on and anything that stops human progress is WRONG!
