  • this is fucking awful

  • astroturfing at its best

  • I found out about this propoganda movie by reading a really interesting book - The Cult of the Amateur by Andrew Keen.

  • ASTROTURF- MAGGOT- FUCK!!!!!

    YOU AND THIS VIDEO ARE EVERTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD.

    I HOPE YOU AND YOU FAMILIES DIE OF CANCER. YOU ARE A VIRUS WITH SHOES. KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!

  • @duffland09 U MAD?

  • ASTROTURFING!!!!! FAKE!!! LAWL!!!1

  • You'd think with all the money the PR co and their big oil sponsors paid, this clip would actually be funny.

  • @Pihasanddunes1 They tried hard to make it seem like a cheap video, but instead they made it so bad that it screams of an astroturfing job

  • you suck.

  • sad. really sad.

  • you know ExxonMobile is worth more than 400 billion dollars. I'm sure they could have spent a few more dollars to come up with a better quality and actually funny video

  • Good Job

  • @nebraska9000 Dude, read the description in the video, their argument against the movie is that its boring.... So if I am to judge truth by that standard than I guess this video is even more of a fabrication since it is more of a bore. So yeah, you are just arguing with me over something we agree on exciting does not equal true/boring does not equal false....

  • copyright infringement, use of tux

  • cant believe there are people in this world who think climate change is a joke

  • first libs said an ice age, now global warming....anything to take over the world with communism!!!

  • @macjake72

    Liberals are right wing. Deal with it.

  • @WhimsicalQuandary

    Black is white. Deal with it.

  • @tajniak4

    Liberalism is not socialist in the least. Keynesians are right-wing and have always been.

    They only seem left-wing in America because there is no left-wing in American politics, mostly because the Pinkertons were so keen on beating anyone who dared to unionize back in the day so unions never became as strong as in Europe and thus no left-wing party was ever formed. The one leftist in American politics and it's Bernie Sanders.

  • @WhimsicalQuandary conservatism is not right wing in the least, they're still advocating for government!

  • Pathetic; You'd think that Exxon could have put a little more money up on the screen.

  • Too funny lmao al whore Is full of shit! Keep up the good work.

  • al snore

    

  • @GregGumbel all snore LOL but we'll see who's laughing when we all die of hunger or loose our houses, or...

  • @bv90andy lose :)

  • Nice try, DCI.

  • BS anti-climate change propaganda?.. Science too boring for you, dumb ass??.. Don't believe in climate change?? Try ocean acidification and ground level ozone.. the science on these IS indisputable. Let your kids choke on photochemical smog and starve to death.

  • Who are the 1381 fools who liked this video. Are they |Exxon Mobil or other oil company executives. GRRRRR

  • Astroturfing made this video and this was funded by Exxon Mobil (the mother fuckers)

  • astroturf

  • FUCK EXXON-MOBIL!

  • O que o dinheiro não faz, não? Zeitgeist veio depois para complementar toda essa podridão...

  • Actually no... its a brilliant public relations move. Do the research...

  • This has to be the stupidest anti global warming video ever. Period.

  • omfg.. take it serious!!!

  • Low budget,yes,but still a better production than "An Inconvenient Truth."

  • @muskratist - low budget? this is very slick, very corporate. it's anything but a "basement video". yeah, it imitates south park but it was made by the republican PR company, DCI Group.

  • The real inconvenient truth is how X-Men 3 totally ruined the franchise.

  • @vonFiedler What are you talking about? The film's revenue was 30-50 times it's budget cost. Hardly a financial failure.

  • Did I say it was a financial failure? Don't appeal to success, critics and fans alike hated that movie. Brett Ratner completely destroyed the status quo, killed off major characters, muddled the Phoenix Saga (the most well known X-Men story), and frankly everything else about the movie was poor as well. You know X-Men 3 was a fuck-up when it caused them to reboot the franchise.

  • @vonFiedler Oh, sorry :) I thought you meant An Inconvenient Truth was a failure... Though the latter was obviously a better investment than X-Men 3 – this one only doubled the budget costs.

  • If the four-year-old down the street had made this, I might have been mildly impressed.

  • Wow. I have never endured such a shockingly awful piece of cinema/animation/anything in my life..

  • Well that was crap.

  • lame... and to all the people who think global warming is a myth, GET A CLUE, DUMBASSES!

  • @ArkLover27 You first. Learn a few things about physics and chemistry, then come again. Oh wait, "the polar bears are dying!" doesn't require actual hard facts. It just requires the usual, unbased, boohoo-nonsense we see from enviro-nitwits on a daily basis.

    You're looking for a dumbass? Look at Al Gore. There you have one.

    Oh and, global warming has happened in the past, it will happen in the future. Nothing we can do about that. The sun drives our climate.

  • Absolutely Awesome!  Maybe not to propaganda eating penguins but to everyone else!!

  • OH NOOOOO ALL GORE WILL MAKE EVERYONE SLEEP WITH HIS MOVIE AND MAKE US BREATHE DEEPER CAUSING MORE CO2 TO BE PRODUCED THEREFORE FLOODING THE WORLD AND OPENING A PIRFICT SHIPPING ROUT OVER THE NORTH POLE I BET HE HAS ALOT OF STOCK IN SHIPPING

  • Is this the best that DCI Group, the Washington PR firm that made this film, can do?!?

    Lame.

  • @chimproller : I think that the Obama Administration only spent $5 Trillion on this...we'll only have to pay for it for the next 50 years. A masterpiece (like all his others!!)!!

  • Comment removed

  • I found that movie entertaining. I found this video parody boring.

  • So stupid

  • Gotta love corporate Propaganda.

  • Global warming is BULLSHIT!!

  • DCI DCI DCI :DDD you could come up with somethig better than that lol

  • All they need to do is add footage of Penguin-Gore assaulting a masseuse and this video will officially be a biography.

  • AL GORE is a RAPIST-he raped a massage therapist in NY; AL GORE views himself as ROMAN Cesar Tiberius-whom decried in 14 BC"The whole world shall pay me taxes or be killed!" AL GORE-wants to carbon CAP & TAX the whole world so he can steal $Billions. AL GORE has three $8 Million house like King Tiberius whom had a palace in ROME,palace in Constantinople,& palace in Antioch. ALL HAIL EMPEROR AL GORE-KING of RAPE!

  • The story of AL GORE&CARLYLE Group-(S.Frisco)Its called EX PRESIDENTS club(GREENHOUSE-GLOBAL WARMING-CLIMATE CHANGE- GREEN ENERGY-SMART ENERGY)-It's LIE-LIE! Thats why NAME keeps changing like LIES chg! You can call it CAP&TAX-is what it does-Another Globalist Scheme so bunch of corrupt EX-Presidents-like BUSH,RAMOS (Philippians,) MAJOR(Brit,)Al GORE can steal more $BILLIONS from TAXES-(ROMANS taxed WORLD)the GOV. PUPPETS must have$B's to join Ruling Elites vs.FEMA death camps with us PLEBS!.

  • Well, I remember that years ago, Al Gore ALSO claimed that he "invented" the Internet...

    He probably also invented Post-Its.

  • @musemom2 Check Snopes to see why Al Gore never said that.

  • Ah, astroturf...

  • the plan.. waat was the plan????

  • the 1 world govt wsj-foxnews-rushie ECONOMIC FREEFALL neocons is the obstruction politico of NO ... the murdoch family (bod & largest shareholder) are mostly foreigners & rupert's wife's born in chicom Xuzhou ... meocons CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH so they lie ... take al gore ... i saw him on tv today ... he said you could listen to the world's top 3,000 scientists or to limbo ... but the 4th reich ... i mean meocons listen to limbo ... they do without question ... join the fox news sponsor boycott

  • CO2 is neccessary for plants to survive!!! If there was too much of it in the air, wouldn't we all die from CO2 poisoning?

  • This video's got it's own article on wikipedia. Look up "Al_Gore's_Penguin_Army_video_­controversy"

    Gotta love that this was probably made by some very talented indivudals, trying hard to make it look as amateurish as possible.

  • Who cares if it's propaganda?

    Inconvenient Truth itself is propaganda!

  • @TBustah

    How do those lobbyist balls fit so far down your throat?

  • @scarshapedstar How do Al Gore's balls fit so far down YOUR throat?

    I don't have to have an alterior motive to see Mr. Gore's slideshow for what it is: a boring piece of crap designed to make people feel guilty about everything they do.

  • @scarshapedstar @scarshapedstar

    AIT is a film that contains information and ideas about climate change, created in an effort to make people see the world the same way as it's creator. By definition, that makes it propaganda (I'd post the def, but there isn't enough room).

    It doesn't always contain lies. My use of the word was in the literal sense, I was pointing out that while this short may be propaganda, by definition, so is AIT.

  • @TBustah

    "AIT is a film that contains information and ideas about climate change, created in an effort to make people see the world the same way as it's creator. By definition, that makes it propaganda "

    Well, shit, in that case every single one of my science textbooks is propaganda.

    Yours is such a broad definition as to be meaningless.

  • @scarshapedstar

    Whatever, guy. Obviously, you and I aren't going to see eye to eye on the issue. And I really could care less.

    Just know this: I have my own reasons for not buying global warming, none of which have anything to do with lobbyists or where they choose to put their testicles.

  • I think Al Gore is the biggest DICK that ever served in the White House. The most important thing in the world is that Manhattan is gonna flood in 250 years? Wow dork, you wanna get your head examined - WE COULDN'T CARE LESS, OK DORK? Go kill yourself Gore.

  • Hahaha this is Exxon Mobile's propaganda. Most of the anti-gore posters here are probably being paid as well. Exxon Mobile is the richest company in the world (300 billion revenue 2009) and it only takes a fraction of that to get a company (DCI group) to make this and have their little marketers influence the idiot sheep with low IQ's.

  • Al Gore, fraud.

  • this is... how should i put this...

    i hate it. disrespectful

  • "Propoganda 101" look this up on wikipedia...very interesting video to be sure.

  • @nebraska9000 No one cares what Gore thinks or does. Every single reputable scientific organization the world over acknowledges the reality of climate change.

  • The U.S. Senate Commission on Environment & Public Works

    Warming fears are the worst scientific scandal in the history When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists. - UN IPCC Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.

    Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined. - Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden

  • Do Itoh or Peden have any relevant qualifications? Have the published in any reputable journals on the subject?

  • Mythical UN IPCC Consensus Continues to Crumble: Top UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Turns on IPCC. Calls Warming Fears: Worst scientific scandal in the history. Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist who specializes in optical waveguide spectroscopy from the Yokohama National University, also contributed to the 2007 UN IPCC AR4 (fourth assessment report) as an expert reviewer. Itoh, a former lecturer at the University of Tokyo,

  • I looked up Itoh, and this was the only page I could find regarding his relevant credentials: desmogblog(DOT)com/kiminori-it­oh

  • Actually I have never seen an inconvenient truth and I am pretty sketch on the idea that global warming is man-made but this video is just ridiculous, it makes absolutely no valid or even close to convincing points whatsoever but I now see that exxon mobil feels very threatened by the whole global warming movement. I would like to see less emissions expelled into the atmosphere so I support Al Gores cap and tax proposition. My lungs will be better for it.

  • Why is exxon-mobil and the republicans so threatened by the global warming investigations "never-mind the man behind the curtain" You just decided for me which side to be on. Plus, this video was way more boring then an inconvenient truth... zzzzZZZZzzzzZZZ

  • global warming is real -.- fucking greedy ass fossil fuel companies

  • this is awesome because most people dont know what "Astroturfing" is... "pseudo-science" makes space ships, planes, submarines, Dakar winning trucks...

  • You do realize a PR firm was hired by ExxonMobil to make this, right?

  • Sorry Marxist warm-mongers..

    But..

    Al Gore helped engineer the economically & environmentally devastating NAFTA & GATT expansion into the WTO. We now have the environmental & Human Rights monster China, abusing workers, the environment, & now shipping their slave labor made junk back West that contain toxic chemicals that are making us & our children sick & dying. I know Gore was in thick with the monsters from the People's Democracy of China

    So that did not help reduce Global Warming did it?

  • #1 Misuse of the Linux mascot, "Lux".

    #2 There were so many more interesting and funny things to criticize gore, that this was the least of those things.

    #3 No matter what you think about Gore's political philosophy, the truth of Climate Change is real and evidenced by over 40 years of research and plain observation. Whether this difference is man-made is up to some dispute, but follow the money-trail and the deniers are usually on the pay-roll of the corporations who pollute the most.

  • @bigbuse87 I love how the denialists simply rated down your comment instead of replying to it.

  • @alexjohnc3 You're telling me. We haven't seen this sort of denial since Ted Haggard.....

  • Global Warming is a pseudo-science like they had in the Soviet Union. The top three gurus for the Global Warming Cult are

    A flake, who has a load of character, credibility & possible mental issues

    A Railroad Engineer (Choo Choo Charlie) who is the chief quack of the quacks of the IPCC

    Head of the CUEI is an economist with ties to the IMF

    Yeah Global warming is a pseudo-science

    These bums are more qualified working at an amusement park train ride

    1984 Choo Choo!

  • GW is fiction from nuclear power. The agents of your death

  • You're just a batshit crazy, anti-science tool. How you look at yourself in the morning knowing that all you do with your life is try to oppose the findings of scientists is beyond me.

  • U. S. Senate Minority Report:

    More Than 700 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims

    700 dissenting scientists from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the UN IPCC & Al Gore This new 2009 U.S. Senate Minority Report -- updated from 2007s-features the skeptical voices of over 700 prominent international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC AGW claims

  • This article in the prestigious journal, Science, might be able to help you understand: sciencemag(DOT)org/cgi/content­/full/306/5702/1686

    Then again, if you're the type of person I expect you are, you wouldn't change your mind even if every last person who could possibly be called a scientist accepted the validity of AGW.

  • Ha Ha! gore does look like The penguin!

  • Man caused Global Warming = Al (assclown) Bore!

    It's like this bloated rotting corpse has knowledge of anything?

    Degree in living off the public, fer shure!

  • Yeah, and that National Academy of Sciences? And every scientific body in the world? They don't know ANYTHING.

  • You know, it seems absurd people talk about this being funded by whomever and that it is an RNC plot. Here is the question: Does it lie? Another question: At the end, does it not give solutions you hear/see from AGW believers all the time?

  • And to think this ASSCLOWN was almost elected president!!! Holy Shit!!!

  • You people are morons, Al Gore wants to implement a tax on the people in order to gain funds for him self and his buddies and he will do this by implantation of the bill he wants to get passed that will allow his company to charge people for CO2 emissions.

    Oh and just to let you all know, CO2 is not a bad thing, it's actually the building blocks of life.

  • @VZGproductions So this video is TRUE.

    AND, Xmen 3 was better than an inconvenient truth.

  • @VZGproductions Water is necessary to sustain life, but if I forced 30 gallons of water down your throat then you would die...

    Do you even know what CO2 is? (pauses for VZG to wikipedia CO2)

  • @jaderrockshard

    What is the point of me even telling you what CO2 is when I said nothing about water?

    Tell me, when did I ever mention anything about water? (awaits response)

  • @VZGproductions I used water as an example genius. Why can't you understand that even if something is apparently harmless, it can be destructive in excess amounts, thus the water example. Any serious scientist laughs at people who believe global warming isn't real, or even worse "up for debate". Science isn't a debate. We are still having the same political debates we did in the 70's over energy because of these people. We could have made so much progress.

  • @jaderrockshard The vast majority of Peer reviewed studies show that the Earth was HOTTER than today , just 900 years Before Fossil fuel use began. "SCIENCE isn't a debate" - but to " HIDE THE DECLINE " in tree rings, isn't a debate either.... Google - MEDIEVAL WARM PEER REVIEW . The science does not jibe with what the IPPC says...I'll stick with the science.

  • Maybe you should breathe 100% CO2 for a few hours.

  • @VZGproductions You simple dipshit. CO2 in the environment climbing to higher levels consistently is a huge problem, and so much of it is released as a result of human activities. A CO2-rich atmosphere would make human life impossible. Do some research before you make yourself look like such an ass; not everything is so black-and-white. You could, of course, just be another sorry attempt by the company to validate this bullshit video.

  • Comment removed

  • IPPC says in 30 years the planet will be 1degree warmer on sea levels 9 inches higher - worse case senario. The sea level varies every day by 9 ft and the temperature vairation outside my front door today will be 21 degrees c. I cope with one by stepping away from the waters edge and the other by putting my coat on if I leave the house tonight. What's the problem exactly?

  • this video was not funded by exxonmobil and GM. The video was created by a PR firm which has ties to the following companies, Aqua Sciences, AT&T, Avue Technologies, Coca-Cola, Exxon Mobil, General Motors Corporation, Google, Intel, McDonalds, Merck, Microsoft, the Myanmar junta, NAQ, PhRMA, Qualcomm and Freddie Mac. Its much different jimkantero

  • Al Gore is a FAKE a FRAUD and a LIAR!!!

    AL Gore belongs in JAIL!!! Climate change my ASS!!!

  • @Halftrac Exactly what crime has he perpetrated? Bush is the one where actual records exist of war crimes, and not to mention the lawsuit filed for not allowing special operatives to catch Bin Laden when they had him pinpointed

  • @jaderrockshard Oh please spare me the Bush BULLSHIT already! Lets talk about your CRIMINAL in the White House for a change!

  • @Halftrac Criminal? Because healthcare for those who actually need it is criminal? Because listening to expert economist is criminal when the republicans themselves pushed for it just as much? Only now are they complaining because their supporters became outraged. Obama is a by-the-book centrist. It pisses me off that we're still in Iraq and doubling in Afghanistan, or how he wants offshore drilling, but a criminal? Name a crime sir

  • @jaderrockshard The only thing you need to know is... AFTER NOVEMBER 2ND Your little Liberal/Socialist party in Washington is OVER!

  • @jaderrockshard

    I have to disagree a bit - healthcare for those who need it at the expense of others is not the best solution to the problem. Giving hand-outs in general is not the best solution to the problem. The best solution, and in this case, the hard solution, is teaching people to stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves. Its the solution that neither the democrats nor republicans want to adopt, because throwing money at poor people is so much easier.

  • @pchwang I' d agree if the world was perfect and everyone was born with equal opportunities, but when people who are actually sick are denied coverage (including those born with said sickness) and schools for the poor are so under-funded while the military is five times as big as the next 3 largest in the world combined and adding the fact we bail out big banks when according to capitalism we should let them fail and alongside families who are dependent on them... this shows a very flawed system

  • Yeah, I don't get it. Regardless of whether you accept scientific findings on climate change, this video is boring.

  • This video isn't just corporate astroturf propaganda, it's boring and badly made.

  • @Extratexture4

    You mean like the oil companies funding AGW? You mean that propaganda that is trying to create another wall street bubble known as cap & trade / carbon taxes? You surely must mean al bore's 9000 sq. ft. mansion. But go right ahead and keep pushing man-bear-pig, because it is the little people like you that will realize al bore's dream of being the first "carbon billionaire." Btw, why don't you greenies invest your time in the REAL environmental apocalypse happening in the Gulf.

  • @biped19, first off, "greenies" are kind of concerned about what's happening in the gulf, though I apologize for not mentioning it in a post I wrote several months before it happened. (and if you think the recent poster are wasting their time, why are you posting here?)

    Secondly, this is propaganda, as exposed by none other than the Wall Street Journal. It was secretly made not by some scrappy individual, but by the DCI group, a public relations whose clients include ExonnMobil.

  • @Extratexture4

    You claim what I cited as propaganda while buying the other. You addressed nothing regarding my points in the post. WSJ is hardly a reputable source, that and the NYT are the "toilet paper of record." These sources duped the masses into believing that we were in a recession & "green shoots." ExonnMobil? Then you must work for BP since ExM is tiny & the last of American oil companies compared to the international cartel of oil companies that include BP. Motive anyone?

  • @biped19, When I said, propaganda," I was talking about the video. That's what the comments are supposed to be about.

  • @Extratexture4

    Furthermore, the corporate media is pushing the AGW hoax while covering up the BP apocalypse in the gulf. Nuff said. And, there is no British inquiry that can hide this fact, like they tried to do with "climate gate" emails. Talk about the criminals investigating themselves. Supporting the AGW hoax is supporting the murder of millions of people in undeveloped countries.

  • Al Gore sucks and is the encarnation of Hypocrisy, Watch his personal use of electricity, he  dosen't believed his own creation.

  • Really? Al Gore created the concept of anthropogenic climate change? I thought that was done by climate scientists. Silly me.

  • This is so fucking stupid .. I view climate change sceptically .. yet i am dumbfounded how this banal video has found so many viewers

  • They made Billion of profit and cannot even pay poeple to make GOOD video making fun of someone they dont like XD That wasted money for what i say !!!

  • LOL, makers got exposed. Next time, if people are gonna troll in real life, you might not want to make it so obvious

  • Well, the over $500 million of our tax dollars going to Finland and Sweden to build gore cars takes the cake. I HATE GORE...

  • And you forgot poland !

  • Wow. They really think people are shallow. Or maybe they want people to be. I wonder if that's why only shallow people are allowed on tv and mainstream(and some indie) movies. If I cared about the future, I think I'd be terrified. Lol

  • The people they made this movie were hired by ExxonMobil.

  • ... Are we supposed to take this seriously, or fit the animators with custom straight jackets? I'd list everything that they got wrong, but I think there's a character limit. So condensed version: this sucks, esp. since "An Inconvenient Truth" is really pretty damn interesting and the creators of the vid are linked to GM and ExxonMobil (who makes really bad "educational" videos).

  • sad when people give your message a bad rating when its the truth

    then again though, people will Always be afraid of the truth, and the truth of the matter is, we are destroying this planet. You don't have to do anything extreme to limit the amount of pollution, you just have to be smart about it; have your house become green, carpool, use halogen lights, and turn those lights off when you're not using them. Pretty simple stuff..

  • This is retarded.

  • This isn't even a convincing video.

  • Just think, the 'astroturf' movement is alive and well again in this country. *sigh*

  • @Goldhelmriel hell look at the tea-baggers. If they don't scream astro-turf, what does? Not to mention the constant Fox News coverage

  • lame

  • This video fails like General Motors' ability to run their company, lol.

  • In addition to the internet, Al Gore invented Linux

  • asa proud Jaunty Jackalope user i say fuck no....

  • mannn i was reading that this was suppose to be some sort of propaganda but i think it was just a corny joke. haha.

  • The worst video ever in Youtube.

  • gore

  • That's Weird! But funny.
