Stop Soot, Black Carbon, and Global Warming - Earthjustice

[critterfreek82]

Great work!

[samhamels]

Nice, I like these kind of cartoon-stile informative videos!

This is dopey. I have asthma and soot doesn't cause it, it irritates it. DA. It's finally all coming out that Al Gore and his global warming climate change is nothing but a scam! 30,000 scientist agree about this but Al Gore refuses to even debate them? What's he trying to hide? The fact that he'll make billions if Cap and Trade passes. But it won't because Congress is even on to the Global Warming SCAM!

[namniekib]

@ucannotescape.The soot and black carbon are a direct result of incomplete combustion,which makes little economic sense.These airborne aerosols block sunlight necessary for photosynthesis,which makes little agricultural sense.It clogs the lungs of people,which drive down worker productivity.Corrupt politics aside,lowering the particulate matter in the atmosphere has its benefits.

[MartinNyberg]

Simple message of this video is being missed - stop unnecessary burning of ANYTHING that emits soot. Sort of an international burn-ban that we should voluntarily adhere to. Compost... don't burn, that yard waste and limbs and branches pruned from your bushes and trees. Don't burn a "campfire" just for the freaking fun of it when camping.

[Tracymmo]

This is so well done!

[utubesux101]

How can that many of us be arguing that global warming is fake? Everywhere the issue is brought up. This issue was set forth by scientists, those of which have been studying the world for years and years and have a lot more education on our global properties and habits than we all think we do. Unless you all can take accurate tests proving thousands of scientists wrong, the problem remains. It is our world's stubborness to take the blame that is preventing us from truly finding a cure.

[FreedomsPatriot]

NASAs much-ballyhooed data showing that 1998 was the warmest year on record for the Earth was, uh, wrong. A blogger found a Y2K bug in the data algorithm, NASA climatologist James Hansen, and NASA has now issued corrected data. The warmest year on record for the Earth: 1934 1998 was the second-warmest. The third warmest: 1921. Michael Asher at DailyTech*com tells the story of how blogger Steve McIntyre, who operates the site climateaudit*org, found the error and forced NASA to admit it.

[TRUMPHENT]

Hmm, NASA's Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index graph has 2005 as the warmest year. This is published by GISS.

Is there another NASA? Which planet is your NASA on? Is it even in this solar system?

[buddcinder]

using the rise in co2 to to say that the Earth is warming means that we could not possibly go through a cooloing period as the level of co2 is still rising significantly.

[kimberleycalling]

Sorry FreedomsPatriot, what you write is a "crock of shit". Anthropgenic Global Warming is confirmed, so get over it.

"Sun spots foretell warming trends better than any indicator known to man."

No they don't, they're only part of the mix which predicts changes to weather. "Weather" does not necessarily mean "climate".

[earthspiritsun]

THANK YOU for providing a good tool for science teachers, kids like the 15-year-old, and all of open mind.

Naysayers apparently choose not to learn that "the economy" is worthless to us and especially to future generations who cannot breathe and must evacuate low-lying coastal areas and islands.

"Cap-n-trade" is an inadequate stop-gap until enough folks wake up to the realities of sustainability that should be the responsibility of ALL of us.

Hang in there, shiliJL and keep on learning !

[N37BU6]

No offense, but you have no idea what you're talking about. This isn't a matter of opinion, here.

If you bothered looking into it, you'd see how pointless it is. It's expensive, cuts 50% of jobs, STILL POLLUTES in other ways, and 90% of the jobs are temporary.

Cap & trade spreads pollution. It doesn't stop it. It also pushes industry into lesser developed nations, thus stealing jobs.

It's NOT about the environment. It's about control.

[21brooksy]

Isn't it worth trying to invent technologies that will help the earth become cleaner and help us lead healthier lives, even if Global Warming (etc) isn't happening?

[LovesDisciple]

Very good video,makes it very understandable and digestible. Thanks earthjustice you rock!

[ChomFa]

I am all for global warming. It might rid us of self-indulgent egoists like you.

[wailinburnin]

Save the Earth, burn down Vail!

[shiliJL]

I don't understand why people comment saying that global warming is bull. Im not a scientist or anything but i doubt everyone here is and even if you were i doubt you would be 100% sure that this isn't something real. It can only help if you do harmless things that may help stop this from happening if it exists. If you don't believe it just shut up because you're not contributing positively to the world in any way by disagreeing.

[N37BU6]

"If you don't believe it just shut up because you're not contributing positively to the world in any way by disagreeing."

Single most ignorant thing I've ever seen written on Youtube... you are an idiot. You must be a liberal.

The best parts were "I don't understand" and "I'm not a scientist" followed by conviction.

PS- those "harmless" things destroy economies.

[shiliJL]

I'm 15 years old and i don't have that much time you do to post "ignorant" comments or criticize Barack Obama as if you were to change anything...if you respond and i look at it i'll pray for you. Hopefully you don't die as bitter as you seem to be..

[shiliJL]

Oh and it might seem obvious that im attacking you and not the argument but you did the same and you have no argument :) sorry about the rest...Instead of focusing on the argument, your main objective seemed like it was to be my enemy so i did the same :D "Followed by conviction." that was cool i like that(I really do)...Lol i'll be more careful next time about leaving "ignorant" comments cuz "I'm a liberal" and you're not so you're right in every way and i'm not...(im being sarcastic)...

[nn123654]

There is no reason we can't have an economy that is sustainable. The two things don't nessacarily have to be mutually exclusive.

[buddcinder]

Global warming is not bull but is a natural occurance through sunspots and moisture.The leading greenhouse gas is not co2, It is water molecules. This planet is heating up but its not ower fault. I refuse to be taxed on a pack of Al Gore lies.You are typing on a computer about global warming. Think about the pollutants that go into the air to make that. The lie is that its co2 while the true problem is birth defects from real pollution and and designer chemicals in the air. Read a book

[kimberleycalling]

buddcinder: Maybe you should read a book. Global warming in the past can be attributed to changes in global tilt, orbital variances, volcanism, solar activity, etc. In the current event none of these are occurring. What is occurring is a huge rise in CO2 and there is a clear correlation between rising CO2 and average global temperature. That's good enough for the world's top scientists, so it's good enough for me.

Earth to budd: We've known about global warming long before Al Gore came along.

[buddcinder]

maybe you should read a book. The earths temp rises before the level of co2 rises. that is a fact that al gore failed to say.the rise in temp precedes the rise in co2.your correlation is wrong.The largest greenhouse gas is water molecules in the air. That is a fact! Explain to people why we have had a period of global cooling for the last decade. The only answer is that the sunspots regulate our temp. We are coming out of a period of very little sunspots so we cooled.

[kimberleycalling]

buddcinder: I'm an environmental educator, so I'm well enough read.

Your post is full of denier crocks and distortions which have all been debunked.

[buddcinder]

Do you disagree with the last ice age 10000 yrs ago? Since that time the earth has warmed. The earth is still not back up to the pre-ice age avarege temp. There are tropical fossils in northern canada.

My point is that there is a huge fluctuation in earths temp. Alarmists use their shortterm test and predict longterm catastrophies. All this talk about saving the planet by stopping co2(which is very much loved by all plants)will only end with a tax on the people which will not stop an ounce.

[kimberleycalling]

You're actually missing the point. In this context, the current climatic conditions have nothing to do with that of 10000 ybp. Life on earth is currently adapted to the extant climatic conditions. The changes which humans are engendering are too rapid for that life to deal with and this will lead to an even greater extinction crisis than we've already caused.

"co2(which is very much loved by all plants)"

That statement is a favourite dupe used by the unintelligent for the unintelligent.

[Maziyar]

Humans = 3 % carbon in atmosphere. :P

[NFM3]

Let's focus on the big business and indstries that pollute - leave the individual and their cars alone. Let's stop picking the most defenseless target.

[mustafasg]

wow great video its very helpful to understand the effects of global warming

[exonerator]

Just need to convince the whole of China and we win.

[FreedomsPatriot]

What a crock of shit!

One volcano eruption and there goes 50 million years worth of Co2.

IF you think about it logically from the beginning of the earth, Oxygen is the contaminate!

[kimberleycalling]

"One volcano eruption and there goes 50 million years worth of Co2."

Another discredited denier crock.

[FreedomsPatriot]

Absolutely!

[blueboar1986]

25% of human caused global warming. What a way to present number. Human is a small factor in global warming to begin with.

[staphinfection]

STOP USING THE TERM GLOBAL WARMING.....

THE TERM YOU SHOULD BE USING IS: CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

We humans are fucking up this Earth, if we can't co-exist, we are all doomed.

[winstonelpero]

r u kidding me!!!! global warming is real and u can see it in every day things such as a large fluxuation in tempatures and an increce in natural disasters.and becides do u want to live in a super poulted world like mexco city? u r thedownfall of ameirica XxBigRedxX

[XxBigRedxX]

Global warming is a lie and not human related.

[owr1]

This is all just a BBBBBIIIGGGGG scam!!!!!

[AlexMadsen87]

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth." ~petition of 31000 scientists that disagree with IPCC

[sayhmm]

source?

[kimberleycalling]

LMAO, you deniers are such moral and intellectual Lilliputians. That petition is totally discredited, with dead people's signatures, non-scientist's signatures, irrelevant scientist's signatures and double signings.

Of course the opposite is the truth - there's no evidence that the average global temp isn't increasing and tons that it is and no evidence of any other reason for it than CO2 emissions and the subsequent forcing events. Do some reading before you comment fool.

[OaktownBman]

Great video. Fun presentation. I hope a lot of teachers get their hands on it to show to student.

[ninja3502002]

co2, a polluntant, wait a sec...

which term is it again global cooling, global warming, or climate change, these liberals love to change your lifestyle and want to change your humanistic habits.

the challenge for you readers here

which causes the most destruction: humans like driving, typing on your electric computers, watching tv, air conditioning, or any other household items or mother nature like volcanoes, tornadoes, or an other metaphysical evil out there

[BLUEHIPPO47]

Of course the climate change denial industry,with it's vested interest in the status quo,will seek to undermine facts which are rigourously and scientifically proven.

Such people should hang their heads in shame.Thank God though that the oil industries puppets are not ruling America anymore.

[BettyMaurice]

Good presenation of vital information. thanks for your guidance, EarthJustice!

[mangeese]

What did YouXKneekXIT say??

[Earthjustice]

According to Google Language Tools, the comment was:

Stephen Hawking: ask the big questions about the universe

[mangeese]

Thank you for the translation.

[wendymac]

i didn't understand the role of soot in climate change before now - this broke it down well - and great visuals. keep up the work, earthjustice.

[TylerNull]

Soot plays no role in the weather.

If you remain ignorant of science, then those who hate mankind will continue to proselytize their toxic theology to you with fake science and prophesy of thermal Armageddon.

They see mankind as the problem, and government as the solution. They make Hitler look like a centrist.

"

Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.

"

-- Sierra Club Director, David Foreman

[Wise111111]

Dave Foreman ascribes to the principles of Deep Ecology, which borrows little from science and relies mostly on western metaphor to discuss mans relationship with the environment. Deep Ecologists conveniently ignore the fact that only 7% of the Earths human population uses over 55% of its resources, nor do they account for the consequences of unending economic growth. However, I dare anyone to find a reputable scientific journal or peer reviewed article which calls Climate Change into question.

[TylerNull]

The fact that those holding such toxic ideologies ARE peer reviewed -- appointed as directors, for example -- gives the reasoning mind insight into the judgment of their peers as well.

Clearly, their ideology of human extermination -- an expansion of Hitler's Final Solution -- has much to do with socialist mysticism and nothing whatsoever to do with science.

The fact that such dangerous imbeciles infest our "reputable" institutions doesn't make their genocidal insanity any more scientific.

[upbeatjazz]

sounds to me like it is you who is ignorant. I assume you also believe the earth is the center of the universe and humans were placed on the earth 6000 years ago.

[TylerNull]

"sounds to me..."

It's comforting to know what I sound like to people of your ilk. Beyond that, your fantasy of my "belief" isn't much of a rebuttal, is it?

[kimberleycalling]

There's nothing to rebutt, you've just ranted a heap of dumbass opinion.

[TylerNull]

The weather isn't my opinion.

The fact that socialists of the "environmentalist" sect claim they can control the earth's temperature to within one degree out 20 years through a labyrinth of fascist policies isn't my opinion.

Their prophesy of thermal Armageddon based on UN bureaucrats censoring the scientists they hire isn't my opinion.

The quoted reference of environmentalist's "solution" isn't my opinion.

Your inability to discriminate reality from opinion is typical of your ilk.

[kimberleycalling]

What utter garbage. You should get your thinking straight because your comment is as weird as I've seen on YouTube.

[TylerNull]

"What utter garbage."

Unable to address ANY aspect of their toxic mysticism, the devout enviro-mystic merely spews more baseless decrees, and projects their idiocy onto whoever notices.
