  • Manmade climate change deniers need to be tortured and executed.

    They would LOVE it, because they clearly love destroying millions of other people's homes and crops and businesses by their refusal to give up meat or give up having kids.

  • @Desertsn0w17 Manmade climate change deniers = Holocaust deniers

  • @mphello

    Your approach to resolving global issues is very irrational and ignorant.

    People can deny whatever they want, the fact is that countries making everything you use have no environmental policies, let alone any respect for the environment. If you are such a radical, how about you flip your keyboard over and tell me where it's made? If that country has respect for the environment, don't throw out your keyboard, and tell me where its made.

  • @Desertsn0w17 You obviously don't give a shit about the survival of nations or humanity.

    The fact that you started with baseless ad hominem attacks like "irrational" and "ignorant" proves that you are a subhuma shithead who never did a day of work in your life, because you never had to think.

    And if you are so pro-economy, tell me how the fuck the world economy will survive when millions are flooded out of their homes and crops die because you refuse to give up coal and oil?

  • @Desertsn0w17 Since you're an obvious overpopulation-denier, then tell me: why do you complain about environmentalists and animal rights activists? We should have more more more environmentalists and animal rights activists.

    You do not have the mental capacity (again, because you don't know what sacrifice and hard work on, since you live on the gov't dole) to comprehend the magnitude of things.

  • @mphello

    On behalf of Youtube users, if you are stating your personal opinion or belief, please specify that in your comments and posts. If you are stating information, please cite your source..

    Furthermore, from your uninformed assumptions about my personal activities and political views which you haven't a clue about, it is my personal opinion that you are: a) extremely delusional. b) a wanker.

    Also, have a good day.

  • @Desertsn0w17 Don't pretend to give a crap about rationality or "citing sources", because you - as a member of the anti-science scientology cult of denying manmade climate change and blaming Jews for everything - are the last person to lecture anyone on citing sources.

    YouTube users would be FAR better off if you would disappear and stop clogging up youtube with your crap.

    Now, please show me the hundreds of peer-reviewed climate articles that "totally disprove" AGW.

  • @mphello

    I find it hilarious that you have assumed so much about me, and that you believe i am:

    -practicing Scientology

    -blaming Jews for everything

    -disagreeing with climate change

    -denying climate change

    You must have really lost your mental health going around throwing around such extreme assumptions, which leads me to believe that you are a delusional disgrace to environmentalists.

    I really hope that others wanting positive change are nothing like you or else everyone is sincerely f*cked.

  • @Desertsn0w17 So now you try to backtrack from your climate change position?

    Let me guess: you deny the proven fact of MANMADE climate change, right?

    And YOU assume that I buy all my products from countries with poor enviro records.

    The last time I DID buy a gas-powered car (1980) I went out of my WAY to find an American-only-made product. And I go out of my way to avoid buying products made in Indonesia and China and Pakistan and etc because of their human rights abuses.

  • @mphello

    Your guess would be incorrect. Now you know my position on climate change, and hopefully by now, my opinion on your communication skills. Just to add, I noticed some of your previous comments used strong language. Words like that accomplish nothing but tarnish your own reputation.

    Now I really hope that the next time you argue, state opinions only.

    Unless you can make your arguments more sensible, reasonable and thought-out, you will continue to come off as an uninformed radical idiot.

  • @Desertsn0w17 Yes, I knew from your first email that you are an extremist fanatics who needs to learn and read more facts and stop making up fantasy or reading fantasy produced by other ideological fanatics and religious fundamentalists like yourself. (Extreme free-market capitalism belief IS a religion.)

    Know this: I am the greatest thing in your life. Far more important to you and your life than your parents, or friends, or family or ("god" forbid) kids. Because I make you think.

  • @mphello

    Enough of your delusional comments.

    If you know me so well, who do I vote for in Canada?

  • @Desertsn0w17 Until you publish your own paper in a peer-reviewed journal in climatology and present it to the next IPCC meeting, nobody in that field should take you seriously.

  • @mphello ..... ARE YOU BILL O'REILLY!?!? Seriously? Man, I'm your biggest fan!!! You should interview Geraldo Rivera, and Michael Moore AGAIN!!! I wanna be as cool as you man! You always shut down the competition! You totally blew Desertsn0w17 the F*CK out of our reality! MPHELLO's INFALLIBLE LOGIC FTW!!!!!

  • I'm about to show this video today at presentation about climate activism in Ukraine

  • I would actually prefer to live comfortably, rather than living in an economic disaster resulting from the clamping of CO2 emissions.

  • excellent animation - poignant and beautiful. Well done!

  • 350.org is all in SPANISH! Speak ENGLISH! The Universal language. No comprendo espanol, idiotas! jajajaja!

  • @TodayIs101010 there is a place at the top of the webpage to select the language. It isn't in spanish for me... maybe you clicked the spanish option by accident.

  • nice

  • Keep up the good fight,,,now need to make the corporations adopt longer term sustainable model of business.

  • AWESOME! I'm SO excited for 10/10/10!!!! I'm only riding my bicycle as much as possible now! i can't help i'm so excited!

  • Somebody needs to push the button on this whole rotten, hateful movement.

    You guys are wrong, and your bloody, brutal, hateful fantasies about killing everyone that disagrees with you prove it..

    'no pressure'?

    What next, ;no individuality'?

  • The problem is that even if all the people who actually do care would stop using cars or siply stop creating CO2, billions of people would still be creating it. There are only two ways the world is going to be saved 1. EVERY SINGLE PERSON will try to lower their carbon foot print and actually make an effort. 2. There will be a great breakthru in science and technology that will save us all

  • a great effort.............

  • LOOK AT THESE FOOLs BREYINGG TO THIER FALSE goddess GHIA.

    CO2-LIPO-MANIA

    BWAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    mother nature serves father GOD.

    GET IT THROUGH YOUR POTT FILLED BRAINS.

  • Arrogant lies!

    31,000 scientists and the founder of the Weather Channel know that man-made global warming is a hoax.

    4500 of the 6000 temp gathering stations were shut down because they didnt agree with the global warming scam.

    Watch out for those who want total control and regulation of everything!

  • It's going to cost everyone so much that we will all be in the third world, unable to work or pay for anything if the climate change laws go into effect.

    It is immoral to go along with this devastating lie!

    A minimum of 12.8 million will die if the cap n' trade legislation goes through.

    Do NOT believe this propaganda!

  • 31,000 Scientists that don't believe in global warming

    petitionproject

  • The fact that 4500 out of 6000 tempature reporting stations were closed because they "didn't fit the model" and had much cooler temps than the 1500 that makes the data appear than man-made global warming is real?

  • Ridiculous!

    Haven't they heard of climategate?

    Toto has pulled the curtain away and the alarmists are still pretending to be "The Great and Powerful OZ!"

  • Still the best, simplest, clearest message on what's needed.

  • 350=Starvation in Africa

  • Good luck tomorrow!! Hope the turn out is amazing!

  • Great video. . .amazing that they could convey so much, so quickly and simply, without using any words.

  • can't you already see consequences from climate change? If not, try too... it's serious dude !

  • aren't you seeing the changes and the effects of climate change ? If not, try too... it's serious man !

  • Save the environment ! 350 !

    Very smart work ! Congratulations !

  • The real problem is the spite between the two parties, you would fight over a crust of bread, you would disagree out of sheer spite IMO. Follow the science, do the research, make up your own mind. God is a scientist.

  • it's not saying we should get rid of all C02. It's saying we just have too much of it and that the safe amount of C02 for this planet is 350. Check what it's a bout you may be surprised.

  • took your advice, turns out you were inaccurate...

    CO2 is produced by industry, essentially through the burning of fossil fuel (gasoline)

    CO2 is a greenhouse gas that does contribute to global warming

    Although it is true that plants require CO2 to survive, they cannot keep up with the increasing human production, therefore leading to excess CO2 in the atmosphere and subsequently global warming.

  • who made this video. cool

  • buen video

  • who are the artists who produced this? bravo!

    in honor of pete seeger's 90th birthday may 3, of

    his work cleaning the Hudson and his song 'one blue sky above us....'

    pass the word to all yr friends-- this is the issue-- this is the time!

  • Saw Bill McKibben talk today at University of Otago - what a brilliant speaker, and what an important issue. The must important number in the world - spread the word.

  • we ALL need to do our part for the future.together we STAND,divided we fall.

  • Let me push this to 1300 comments - How many here went to PowerShift or the DC power plant protest? 15 students from our U here TX went. I didn't see anything on the news about it. I guess we need to get 500,000 people out next time. Or one million. Tho wouldn't want all that travel, so we need to get 1 mill people from around DC to join together, each on carrying a photo & sign sent by us here in the boondocks to show our presence. I'd pay local person to march in my stead.

  • Dr. James Hansen, top NASA climate scientist in his Bjerknes lecture at the Am Geological Union this Dec said that if we burn all fossil fuels we will tip the climate into runaway warming as on Venus, ending all life on planet earth.

  • Germany gets less sun than America and has bought ALL of ASIA's SOLAR ! America is 30 yrs behind the rest of the world and with Health Care also .Forget Dafur Americans First !

  • I LOVE THIS it's unbelievably clear

  • woohoo!

  • We should all by now KNOW what 350 means. But if we don't, the mystery should spur us on to investigate. We've known about GW for over 20 yrs, & we well know it saves us money without lowering living standards to mitigate it (or we should), so we have no excuse whatsoever to continue perpetrating death and mayhem upon earth's biota, including people. Besides, people who refuse to mitigate might find themselves in a much hotter eternity.

  • Also, Aaron, think about the impact it's already having on us (people): asthma, hunger (from increasing flooding and droughts), homelessness (from natural disasters)... and it will only keep getting worse if we don't all work together. Before dismissing this all as "hippie environmental" nothingness, educate yourself.

  • we need to try everything, we all need to keep at it and this video does that, thanks

  • we can do it!

  • Clear and simple, 350 is the number the world should know and aim for. Lets make it so.

  • cool vid! we can do it! 350!

  • Great video. 350 is an obtainable goal. Let's do it!!

  • here's to every day being a global day of action!

  • well done how this is understandable in any language and just about every culture. Strong important message; good job.

  • Or did we hit it and we have to go back?! Anybody?

  • If you want to know what this is about, watch 0:16 to 0:20 about six times in a row. We're on our way to 350 parts per million. If we don't stop there, we blew it.

  • really simple and easy to understand, no matter what language. keep up the great work and I hope this goes really really far!

  • 350!

  • world need to know!!

  • Perche il mondo deve sapere!

  • Excellent to translate a very abstract quantity, 350 Parts Per Million into a political slogan.

  • Great video. I like the graphic style.

  • i also reallly like the music. amazing. :)

  • the animation is brilliant. i reallllly liked the lack of writen words. it made it that much better! That was amazing! thanks

  • Behind climate change are two powerhouses: hyper-consumption of resources (both renewables and nonrenewables) and overpopulation. It is quite clear that climate change can not adequately be addressed without reforming our economic systems (and by extension, the consumption habits of our nations citizens).

    Get the meme out: our economic systems are the cause of the great issues (unequal distribution of wealth, resource loss and climate change). Halt 'endless growth'!

  • great video!

  • cool

  • very cool and really informative =D great job :)

  • good video

  • shit - we've got a lot of work to do

  • This is the most important issue in the world - everyone that cares about poverty needs to understand the issues

  • We all need to keep this in mind - and in our actions!

  • Exellent video. Short and to the point!

  • Great video. Our leaders are idiots. It's really up to us.

  • this is a topic that everyone needs to address more. people need to get educated on this ever looming problem.

    i'm a Hispanic woman and it bumms me out that this problem isn't address more in our community.

  • that ani was awesome! Simple, straightforward and hopeful. It motivates me. I hope it motivates others.

  • If only agreements could be made to tax carbon!!!

  • RE "The bad news is to do it, we will have to engineer plants and expose to sunlight on vast scale or build immense machines to inhale 1/4 of the air...."

    Or, we could turn out lights not in use and the myriad of other small and big measures of energy/resource conservation/efficiency.

    The world's poorest 40% get 5% of world product. The richest 20% (us) get 75%. We can do better to REDUCE.

  • Got this from 350org - "I'm writing again from the UN Climate talks in Poland, where one thing has become heartbreakingly apparent: for some people, these negotiations aren't just about numbers and compromise and diplomacy. For some people, these negotiations are about survival."

    E.g., the small island states submerging in sea rise...African nations, whose agric is decimated by GW effects -- droughts, etc.

  • Great video, time to spread the word

  • Come on leaders listen to all of us and act on the climate you need to now

    nice animation

  • Very good! Simple yet effective!

  • This is the most significant problem humanity faces. Italy and Poland need to lead. It is shameful that they will not.

  • Wonderful - everyone must see this

  • The good news is that 350 is first step. The bad news is to do it, we will have to engineer plants and expose to sunlight on vast scale or build immense machines to inhale 1/4 of the air, steal and sequester the C from the CO2, release the O2, and use renewable energy resources to do this. These huge devices and vast coverage of gene-modified plants will be our species first real steps to weather and climate control. If we do this, YOU will have a job and a future! Else, likely not!

  • Lays it out so clearly. Well done.

  • got to spread the word somehow

  • Best video I've seen in a while!

  • Wow, one of the best animation message videos ever!

  • Inevitable change! Beautiful!

  • well done

  • Change starts with understanding, pass this video on to others.

    Ya heard!

  • Hopefully the era of inaction and procrastination is over--our wellbeing and that of the planet require nothing less than full mobilization against global warming.

  • 350 + you + me = :)

  • right on!

  • Wonderful! Well done. Simple and to the point. I'm going to put it on facebook. I recommend you guys do that too. xo

  • POWERFUL!

  • Fantastic work - keep going!

  • Keep it up!

  • What really warms my heart most of all is to see how the environmental crisis unites the whole of humanity... That, in itself, is wonderful.

  • Keep up the great work! It's the most important thing for our planet right now!

  • very impressive. must keep this movement in focus worldwide.People must UNDERSTAND that it is not for our benefit only but also for the benefit of our DESCENDANTS. 24shelly49

  • Strong message...i hope world leaders make the climate crisis a top priority. Especially with a worldwide recession there's a golden opportunity to create millions of green jobs and rebuilding the economy. Both crises are intertwined and can be solved concurrently!

  • Here the post on a portion of our CO2 lasting up to 100,000 years. Delete spaces - ww w .realclimate. org/index. php/archives/2005/03/ how-long-will-global -warming-last/ langswitch_lang/in

  • RE methane hydrates, here's a post by a top climate scientist re melting ice-locked methane (CH4) from the seabeds. CH4 is 23 Xs more potent than CO2. However, while a portion of CO2 can last up to 100,000+ yrs, methane degrades within 10 yrs (to CO2 +). But if enough CH4 is released from melting permafrost & hydrates within 10 yrs it could mean total disaster - realclimate. org/index. php/archives/2005/12/ methane-hydrates-and-global-wa­rming/ langswitch_lang/in (delete spaces)

  • time to get on board-

    great message + terrific animation.

    c'mon people now!

  • Excellent animation, good work!

  • Unless we can keep the atmospheric CO2 ratio at 350ppm or even lower, we risk the release of trillions of tonnes of methane from the melting permafrost into the atmosphere. If you think CO2 is bad, methane is its bigger brother who is serving a life sentence...go ahead release him.

  • Top message, 350ppm is a worth goal.

    P.S. Yep, emissions from meat production are a problem. Shame it's so damn tasty! What I do is now have 1 vegetarian day a week. Easy to do & means there are 50 extra days now per year where I'm helping the environment. Little things help! ;)

  • Brilliant! really simple and makes sense without sound, even.

  • RE "REDUCE YOUR MEAT CONSUMPTION." Very true. We need to do everything we can. So I say, when driving thru the fast-food drive thru, order a veggie burger AND turn off your car while waiting; if it's more than 30 seconds before you have to move forward you save gasoline (a non-renewable resource), save money, AND save the environment.

  • Time is now! Get into the groove!

  • Brilliant, says it all. It's time for all sane people to ACT NOW!

  • Very timely and gives a great message!

    Spread the word. We need to do something to preserve and offer a world to future generations.

  • Excelsior!!!

  • Good message but it misses a key part of the global warming equation: emissions from animals mass-produced for food. Want to save the planet? REDUCE YOUR MEAT CONSUMPTION.

  • Good message, but it misses an important part of the global warming equation: the massive numbers of animals raised for food. Want to help the planet? REDUCE YOUR MEAT CONSUMPTION!

  • everyone needs to know this number

  • time to start!

  • bravo!

  • the absolute absurdity of your over consumption

    great vid

  • Well done

  • Great video guys! Nicely done.

  • pretty friggin sweet! :)

  • aaargh! 350 it is!

  • I think the message might finally be sinking in?

  • Amen! Keep it up

  • Nice animation and very important issue!

  • This is the most important issue of the

    21st century

  • Thanks.

  • I love this video, thanks for the work you are doing to portect the health of the planet!

  • thanks for your continued efforts 350! keep up the great work!

  • Great job!

  • really great video!

    like a fresh breath of air.

  • This is great! Ready for GLOBAL prime time!

  • great to see this!

  • that's what i'm talkin about!

    the little things, especially like telling other people, can make a huge difference.

  • I agree with the other comments. It is a no brainer to start doing these things to bring CO2 down to 350 ppm. And the crazy thing is, it is easiest to do the little things. Corporations will catch on soon enough.

  • nice, effective....

  • seems like a no lose proposition to get in better shape, get in touch with nature, think about other people before you act, and stop acting as if the world is here just to appease the hedonistic leanings of those that would be king regardless of income level. great video - i will pass this around to all my air quality and zero waste networks as a prime example of how LESS IS MORE.

  • Here are some things to do that cost nearly nothing: Stay home more, or walk to places. Hang up laundry to dry (a great apartment humidifier in the winter!). Stop taking a shower every day. How dirty are you, anyway? Buy less. Read more. Talk to people & listen to them. Great fun and cheap! Before you buy something, ask yourself "How did I get along without this in the past? What will happen to it when I am done with it?" Think about how to create jobs without making more stuff.

  • 350 is a great video; clear, wordless, powerful, and effective. Go 350!!

    Dave DeSante

  • Fabulous!

  • People keep saying "do something," and I started thinking maybe we need to stop doing things :) Like driving too much, buying too much. Nearly everything has a GHG component -- e.g., the energy to pump & heat water, etc. So any way we can be energy & resource conservative or efficient is great. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE are still the 1st principles, with REDUCE the highest.

  • keep it going

  • I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run out before we tackle that."

    - Thomas Edison

  • Keep up the great work!

  • I love the hope.

  • This is a great animated video! It says so much with just pictures!

  • This is really cool, everyone needs to see this!

  • catchy little tune for a catchy little idea...for a great big cause!

    what are you doing to make a difference?

  • pay attention! this is important! no do something!

  • It's going to be hard to save this planet if we don't act now :( Wake up politicians, say yes to the green revolution we need!

  • This is a great video as a teaching tool. So many people don't realize that there are specific measures of this problem.

    Tell a teacher about this video!

  • This YouTube campaign is a great idea! The world leaders in Poland need to be reminded that they work for us, and we are demanding action on climate change NOW.

  • It's amazing what a few college students can do because they care...now it's up for us to help.

  • 350 - this is the simple goal the whole world needs to pursue. We should all take care to both spread the word and take action NOW!

  • YES! The whole world needs to know the dire consequences of too much CO2 in our atmosphere. If we ignore the facts we destroy our planet!

  • So simply illustrated that even politicians might understand the urgency!

  • This video gets the point across with simplicity and verve. Global Climate Change -- we need to act now!

  • spread the word!

  • so what exactly are we waiting for? It's time to sort this - we won't get a second chance.

  • This video said it all. The world need to wake up to reality!

  • Life is a gift and what do we do with it?

    There is no more time for rain checks. Life is far too precious.

  • Life is a gift and what do we do with it?

    There is no more time for rain checks. Life is far too precious.

  • Great animation...ACT NOW!!

  • So little time and none of it to waste, we all must rise to teh challenge now!

  • Great way to get this vital messagea across. Ask all your friends to watch it.

    keep telling the politicians how without clinate action their power goes anyway.
