One of the founders of Green Peace, Patrick Moore, says about the oil sands, "their development is necessary - and often leaves the production sites in better environmental shape than they were before oil was taken from the land."

[77truthpeacelove]

what a movie..watched 5 times in webmovietube

[amielanquist41]

this is great !! going to watch this in webmovietube

[disciple3d]

There are thousands of scientifically produced papers showing that carbon dioxide and other gasses like methane produce a warming affect of the planet. It's not difficult to understand. The reason people say fossil fuels are the issue, is because we are releasing high amounts of trapped carbon, which was absorbed by plants many millions of years ago. The planet has had many fluctuations of climate, but that does not mean that we don't have an effect with our actions.

Reggie Watts the comedian? He's golden!

[monkidoe]

Love their version of the New York Times!

It had a beautiful impact on those who read it!

[pinkmagica]

Yes Men are Amazing! Love them! Thank you guys foe everything you do!

[ausendundeinenacht]

@pinkmagica AGREE WITH YOU

REALLY

[frankystein12]

I am glad that the RCMP has common sense and didn't even bother arresting them.

[litlemadguitarist]

This is not pranking. Its a call to change!

[BeAsTm0aD]

lol how do they not get arrested?

[ausendundeinenacht]

@BeAsTm0aD hI there

Although the Yes Men have not been arrested for fraud, they have been arrested for unrelated offenses during their events. Bichlbaum of The Yes Men was arrested for an outstanding parking ticket at one of his Survivaball rallies.

[cogitheum]

@ausendundeinenacht I wonder about that. Surely they could at least be arrested for impersonating government officials or disturbing the peace, and they could certainly be sued for false light if not defamation. And it seems like they piss off the right people to make it happen. Why do you think these guys (heroes though they are) are still free and have a pot to piss in?

[ausendundeinenacht]

@cogitheum "not suye abt that";;;hm! i copy/pasted it so i certainly didn t invent THAT

now...you raise a good question here,however: "And it seems like they piss off the right people to make it happen." SURE true:"Why do you think these guys (heroes though they are) are still free I HAVEN T THE FAINTEST"and have a pot to piss in?" DO THEY? is it a possibility they get finabced fr Wellwishers ober the Net, or do they connect gayly...with the right men,believe or not this has been intriguing me

[xoZiggy]

i love these guys, they are so awesome!

[RenegadeTimes]

Funny ...and exposing.

[tinmccool]

Any data set can be cherry picked to back a tendentious stance (Republicans get a dictionary). I have no vested interest but do have access to plenty of information from respected sources. The case for man made climate disturbance is overwhelming. The planet will survive, we won't.

So long and no thanks for all the pish

[ausendundeinenacht]

@tinmccool "have access to plenty of information from respected sources. "

i mean these deniers are soo stoopid its almost as if they are convonced that saying the same UnTruth over and over again it will miraculously be regardeded as

truth

Forgetting we all live in the Internet Age now, not b4 the Gutenberg press

[likeanaccident]

FUCK YOU

[theabyscalls]

@AllRiseForDrEvil your just an idiot. Its people like you that extinct species and fuck up forests. You chose to ignore the fact that were not only screwing nature and torturing billions of animals but screwing ourselves and sentencing ourselves to death. To me, people like you are the scum of the earth

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

You know what your problem is? You associate climate change scepticism with pro-nature destruction. There is no convincing proof that we are changing the climate, yet we are pumping billions of the tax payer's money into ridiculous measures which are all gonna fail. When I claim to be sceptic of climate change because it hasn't been proven, that doesn't mean I encourage wiping out animal species and cutting down all forests. The fact that you can't tell these two apart makes you the idiot.

[ausendundeinenacht]

@AllRiseForDrEvil TOUR PSEUDO REALLY SAYS IT ALL

I FEEL SORRY FOR GUYS LIKE YOU AND HAPPY I DON T AT LEAST HAVE TO LIVE WIYH UR PERSONALITY

AS YOU UNFORTUNATELY DO

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

@ausendundeinenacht

First of all, switch of your caps lock. By using capitals, you can't hide the fact that you don't have anything useful to say.

The climate has been fluctuating for as long as this planet has an atmosphere, which is quite a long time, and we have nothing to do with it. Now I will give you one last chance to explain why you think we (the human race) are responsible anyway. And don't feed us any of that CO2 bullshit, I want actual proof, not shots in the dark.

[ausendundeinenacht]

@AllRiseForDrEvil First of all,change the way you adress me unrespectfully

TALK after THAT

I FLATTEN YOU WITH MT ARGUMENTS IF YOU CAN TAKE IT

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

@ausendundeinenacht

1. Check your spelling.

2. You first addressed me in a, well I can't really call it disrespectful (that's the right word, not the non-existing "unrespectful"), moronic way. So you started this whole charade.

3. I haven't seen any arguments from you yet, so I seriously doubt you got any to begin with, but bring it on if you're so delusional as to believe you actually got a chance.

4. Switch off your goddamn caps lock, you come across like a semi-retarded individual.

[aelfredhauscarl]

@theabyscalls If man climate change is real then why are all the planets getting hotter ? aliens burning fossil fuels I suppose . And actually it corporations who fuck up forests . The governments in the world cannot care too much as they still let companies use cost effective plastic containers .

[ausendundeinenacht]

@aelfredhauscarl Your heart seems in the right place

You do however talk or rather write like a monkey whos just mastered the alphabet

ReRead yourself then you see what I mean!

[aelfredhauscarl]

@ausendundeinenacht I assume you mean my heart seems TO BE in the right place and I write like a monkey who HAS just mastered the alphabet? I did consider rereading myself but realised it is quite impossible. However I did reread what I had written if indeed that is what you are attempting to ask. Please notice the word reread does not require two capital letters. The pejorative remarks you wrote do not not further any argument nor do they disprove the argument I stated.

[ausendundeinenacht]

@aelfredhauscarl SORRY

DIDN T MEAN TO SAY LIKE A MONKEY

BUT UR SENTENCES JUST DONT MAKE A LOT OF SENSE" If man climate change is real then why are all the planets getting hotter ? "

BECAUSE CLIMATE HANGE MEANS GLOBAL warming

As in warm

As in hot

SO WHY YOU SAY "HOTTER",?

"aliens burning fossil fuels I suppose" ...there you seem ironic? Towards WHOM?

ReRead or reread...alters little you hairSplitter I can write and innovate as much as i like can t I, so did Shakespeare who introduced massively

[aelfredhauscarl]

@ausendundeinenacht Now now that is not nice . Ok Global warming is a hoax . It certainly not man made it is something which man can do nothing about. All the statistics which are presented to us are done so by scientists who ignore vital data from the collective sources thus providing corrupted results. Watch Piers Corbyn's Assessment here on you tube . Piers Corbyn is a well respected meteorologist he successfully does long term forcasts. Climate change pfff your having a laugh.

[checkyoursources]

@aelfredhauscarl Anthropogenic Global Warming is tje best explanation we have for recent warming. No known natural factors can account for it e.g Solar ouput was low in 2010 and we had a cooling La Nina for the first 9 months of the year yet still 2010 was exceptionally warm completing the warmest decade on modern record. Care to name a better explanation than humans for recent warming since 1978? Corbyn's predictions have an accuracy of 55% - thats only slightly better than tossing a coin!

[aelfredhauscarl]

@checkyoursources The Earth has experienced climate change because that is what the climate does, it changes, expecting it to remain the same at all times is akin to expecting the weather to always remain the same. We can adopt a Cnut like stance and try and prevent the climate from changing, or we can acknowledge that global warming is based on corrupt science and carbon trading. Corbyn is actually 80-85% accurate which is why no warmist answers his repeated challenges to take him on.

[checkyoursources]

@aelfredhauscarl 1) I didn't say that climate stays the same, I said that No natural drivers explain its warming direction at the moment while anthropogenic emissions explain it pretty well. 2) Climate reacts to whatever is forcing it to at the time, currently its most likely to be us. 2) To assume that past natural changes are the same as this current one is similar to saying that lightning can cause a fire but matches cannot. On long term predictions Corbyn is only 55% accurate.

[aelfredhauscarl]

@checkyoursources Anthropogenic emissions only explain it if you ignore the evidence that contradicts this explanation. When scientist start hiding evidence that exposes the lie and present corrupted evidence as the truth, that is when the argument for man made climate change is lost. Corbyn is a very good scientist and his opponents cant take that away from him so they smear him instead. Climate change is overshadowing real environmental issues and that is the real damage being done.

[checkyoursources]

@aelfredhauscarl In that case, please provide a more likely explanation than anthropogenic emissions for the majority of recent warming since 1975? 

[aelfredhauscarl]

@checkyoursources There hasn`t been global warming since 1975 that is the point of what I am saying, some parts of the world has seen climate get colder recently. I believe that man made climate change is a myth based on lies and corrupted evidence. Climatological cycles run in thousands of years not just decades, slicing off decades here and there from the bigger picture will present a misleading conclusion.

[checkyoursources]

@aelfredhauscarl Actually every decade since 1975 has been warmer than the one before. Over the ten years from 2001 to 2010, global temperatures have averaged 0.46°C (0.83°F)  above the 1961-1990 average, and are the highest ever recorded for a 10-year period since the beginning of instrumental climate records. Source WMO Your "belief is irrelevant, look at the evidence from empirical measurements by a variaety of indepenedent sources.

[azzy314159]

@aelfredhauscarl The climate changes yes. But the rate it is changing at is catstrophic. And is unnatural and we do not know the consequences. So prudence demands that action be taken. Action now and action vigorous.

[aelfredhauscarl]

@azzy314159 Ihave given up debating this :) thanks for your input and response you may be correct in your view, I believe I am correct in mine so to debate it is futile as you will not change your opinion and niether will I . I hope your wrong :) in respect of if you are right and no action is taken then the results would be catastrophic. Tgc and thanks for a gentle response.

[azzy314159]

@aelfredhauscarl Okay. We agree to disagree. Wonder if I will still be alive when the climate has irrefutably changed.

[ausendundeinenacht]

@AllRiseForDrEvil You believe TreeHugging is as bad or worse than Stooopid ????

No one else does

If you werent too ignorant you d start to wonder WHY.....you re in a minority of one!

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

@ausendundeinenacht

Nobody cares what you think. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. So please stay away from conversations you can't handle. Buy yourself a Prius, pat yourself on the back and choke on your smugness.

[ausendundeinenacht]

@AllRiseForDrEvil" Death to"....you sitting in front of some imaginary guillotine, knitting, or what?

A Hoax ? who benfits from hoaxing? and hoaxes DO usually?

is your ignorance infectious , in that case you should be removed from human company

@parisas TRUE

idolising advances No One

But secretly I agree with you of course

[theGetRealGuy]

Those Conferences are so boring these guys should be invited just to spice them up, instead of the Regular Yes Men. well worth the $50 entry!

[freexero]

Canwest Global, Canada's largest media company, has launched a War on Satire to punish the evil-doers who spoofed Canwest's Vancouver Sun newspaper.

[askland]

Yes Men rock!

[theedbarnes]

Satire is a wonderfull thing.

[kentonlarsen]

Maybe they could do something to fix George Stroumboulopoulos.

[megalomania345]

lady die - like a candle in the wind...

[Esaelectronics]

[jaguar807]

Brilliant and hilarious!!

zakmasur35 - go look up the definition of satire to clarify why they do this.

[TukenNuken]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! XD this is awesome!

[cavemanboborj]

Ha!

[zakmasur35]

so are they trying to take down these giant corporations or are they just doing this for no reason?

[megalomania345]

OMG, they want to turn people into candles - RUN!

[hyser4]

[gODfall]

BEST STORY EVER!

[ramona7609]

[erupshaun]

REGGIE WATTS IS TEH BEST

[snipzor]

BEST STORY EVER!

[Sconz32]

Incredible.

[Sconz32]

Actually this wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I was hoping the people in the crowd would start saying what a good idea it was..

[awong76]

Human hair?  I wonder just what kind of human hair? haha... good work Yes Men

[Peterr86]

[ryanell666]

Yes Men as in the documentary that was against the WTO and globalization......look it up on imdb

[Peterr86]

[ausendundeinenacht]

@ryanell666

THE YESMEN FIX THE WORLD

I downloaded it on a torrent

its very good!

[kidmecha]

Very awesome

[Neurolanis]

Ha ha ha.

[d3rfliw]

can you really go to jail for this?

[Neurolanis]

Only if someone claimed to have been traumatized. Otherwise, if they were respectful in their manner, it was just a harmless prank. If it was a fundraising event and those running it claimed that they lost money because of it, they might have been sued.

[NobodobodoN]

@d3rfliw: There may be some jurisdictions where they could get convicted of something that would carry a fine and maybe a short sentence, but it's pretty unlikely.
