Silver Bullet Alert! Poke! Poke! Greg "attention" Craven to answer your question, yes you are delusional. Your conclusion is not logical. The premise that GCC is man made can not be proven true. Therefore, your conclusion is invalid and unsound. I suggest you do the proof for yourself. Are you aware that glaciers formerly extended into what is now Kentucky? The globe has been warming for about 15,000 years! Now, that's what I call and inconvenient truth! Silver Bullet Alert! Poke! Poke!
Fuck U Jewishist Jew Shit, filling us with Jewish Controlled Propaganda, Mankind is not Responsible nor is Able to Control Global Warming you insignificant meaningless Parasite, Global Warming is indeed a natural cycle, Instead: Let's spread the word that israeli jews are Parasites thriving on US taxpayer handouts
I'm assuming this book will be printed on 100% post consumer recycled paper, processed without chlorine...right? You are after all advocating GCC action. You musn't overlook subtle hints that clue in others that you're not serious, otherwise the content of the book is without merit. I've immensly enjoyed your videos and am myself a very strong advocate of action, and I can make some arguments for action in some genres better than you have so far executed. On the whole you've done a superb job!
Im so tired of religous people commenting on the whole GW debate, religion has no place here whatsoever. If ur in toronto, or Japan, or any major city..what do you see? SMOG! And that's what u can see, do you really want to live in a world like that? It doesn't really matter if GW is man made or part of a natural cycle, we are adding insult to injury by continuing with our thoughtless pollution. the technology is here to go GREEN, why waste time, smog free cities should be enough to change :)
I hope the book is exactly the videos. Although I hope alot of diagrams are in the book. I hope you expand upon the model.
Certainly if you use your talent for explaining things and decide to go for broke and do the calculations yourself and show them to the reader the book would be a tremedous success.
People go for books like that. George Gamov and Isaac Asimov come to mind. But make sure it has a diff eq in it so that it could be a bit more fun to read like a book on Black Holes.
What is your huge hardon for differential equations, ted? It's the only thing you talk about. It has nothing to do with this book, manpollo, or the other videos.
"Future Generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century's developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age."
Without trying to be snarky, if you are getting your version of how to analyze this is getting published, then just about anyone can something on AGW published, if they have the acceptable pov.
By simplifying AGW problem solving to four choices, you have vastly over simplified it, and introduced a huge bias in favor of giving power over to the AGW fear industry.
Good point. I guess you'll be getting your own opinion published, too, so that you can rake in the easy dough just like me. Hey--the more the merrier! (Oh, and I could tell you weren't even trying. . .some of us are just effortlessly snarky.)
I was not aware that publishing is a path to easy money, but then I guess a lot of things about AGW involves rewriting the rules.
I have no doubt you are a sincere believer, and you are certainly eloquent. But the fallacy I see in your argument is that you assert AGW mitigation will not have negative costs. But it will. That ignores a lot of evidence. Kyoto and ethanol come to mind. So I stand by that yours is a polite authority argument.
Hey--you might have just what I've been looking for! I've been searching high and low for credible, thorough analyses of the economic costs of taking action that conclude it would be tremendously harmful. So far, I haven't found much (see "HIAE: Get What You Want"). Nothing more dire than a 3% reduction in GDP growth, unless it comes from a think tank. So far, the economic doomsaying seems to be mostly conjecture. Could you give me some heavyweight sources to give merit to your assertions?
If the snark level on either side in this thread gets much higher, it might take away from what appears to be one of the more attractive aspects of your video series- a reasonable appeal to skeptics. If you really do want to dialog, I will be happy to do so. If not, I understand.
Whoops, sorry. My earlier post was snarky, but the last one (starting "Hey--") was entirely sincere, but reading it after the previous one I realize it certainly can do double duty as snarky if that's what the reader is (reasonably, in this case) expecting. I am sincere in the last comment--I have been looking for credible economic disaster scenarios, and need some help. You said "That ignores a lot of evidence," and I'm hoping you have some evidence I haven't come across yet. Please help.
Enough with the bible garbage. I love it when bible belters want to demand "proof" of something...or anything for that matter. It's the whole "proof" issue itself that makes few people interested in what the bible "says" at all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Bible is not only a book of history, but also foretells the future. Much of what people are saying about gw is contrary to what is found in the Bible. And if it is true that God wrote the Bible and that he is in control, can you afford to push it away as irrelevant? It has every thing to do with all the issues of our time, people just dont know that because they neglect and reject it, and anyone who even talks about it.
Don't waste your time on *it*, it's account is a dummy account (some what ironic; dummy account for a dummy person!) Just a spineless troll, hoping that if you believe in his invisible friend too, he'll be saved. Yup just thinking of itself and telling you its *helping*! Truly pathetic, but it's this kind of mindset which is our greatest problem and that we need to educate so we don't go the way of the dinosaurs! Here's hoping.
Psalm 147:15-18 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and his waters flow.
Matthew 24:35 ...Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
If the Bible is Truth then you can do nothing to stop global warming:
2 Peter 3:10 ...But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works therein shall be burned up.
Where will you spend eternity? Death is the issue. This has been the issue of all time, it happens to every man. If the Bible is the Truth, you have two options heaven or hell. Heaven for accepting the Truth, hell for rejecting it.
One issue that you forgot. One that is more impotant than global warming. Gw is no more or less an issue than all the other issues. But there is an issue that "trumps" them all
I really like "The Earth Will Be Fine", but skip any subtitle, letting the reader figure out for him/herself that it only means the planet itself, not whatever lives on it.
how about... "WE'RE ALL GUNNA DIE!!!" in very big letters? although i guess it isint quite the topic, but it will definitely catch a casual browsers eye....
The title "THE EARTH WILL BE FINE..." may be a brilliant move. To myself (a longtime advocate of what you've said in your videos), the title is intriguing because its like "wait, what is he saying?!" But to your primary audience, the skeptics, it comes off as if it is downplaying the climate crisis, so they'll pick it up and then realize its real message. The other titles are absolutley hilarious and catchy, but I don't think they'll appeal to your intended audience. I'll buy it regardless!
I'm looking forward to it regardless of the name, but something catchy would be good. I liked the last suggestion (I found the polar bear and pistol image funny).
