Confronting Climate Change, with Al Gore

[VoxJoxx]

Once the planets population has wiped itself out the earth will move on and heal herself, the evolution of this planet has no place for this incredibly selfish species called Homo sapien. We have a finite time here, the planet has a infinite time. To be human = to be the dick of the universe.

MAnBearPIG!!

[djihadq]

so it isn't global warming anymore, is climate changing, rite i see. u dont have a clue do you. humans are too insignificant to make any difference to be honest. nature itself produces a lot more CO2 through decomposing animal bodies and stuff similar to that than all the humanity combined. oh yeah another thing, one single blade of grass produces 1 ton of oxygen a year. i would say thats plenty to go round.

[Moniles]

CO2 is what you exhale, stop selling the idea that is harming the climate you!, and to you all, do you think that a multimillonaire like Al Gore is interested in helping us?, THINK FOR YOURSELF

[JoeJohn90]

Al Gore's paid climate scientists studies have found, CO2 emissions from the US are the problem, not CO2 emissions from India or China

[parkimedes]

The posts that are extremely angry because they think global warming is a hoax, are made by people paid by corporations to flame the internet to create the illusion of public opinion. Its total bullshit. Ignore the angry posts: look at the facts.

[AutomaticAwesome]

Google is not evil. Their only pushing global warming when they are not giving data to the cia and nsa.

[TheMichnikowszczyzna]

Global lie not warming!!!

[muaybattletv]

Yes more and more people are waking up. STFU with your bull*hit propaganda Gore. Tax CO 2 of yourself

[TheGrimsdale]

Fuck you Al Gore. Fuck the NWO. You are wrong and we all know it. Now fuck off you hypocrite.

[Slammo]

still at this- ?

[rozan143]

dis is true, here in the philippines we are experiencing extremely hot climate during daytime and even during nyt time, unlike b4 its more cooler..

lets take action against climate change b4 its too late.. godbless..

[WurledPeas]

@rozan143 I'm in Cavite right now. It's much cooler this year than last. Don't buy the hype. Al Gore is all about Al Gore getting rich off BS carbon credits while the little guy pays higher taxes, there will be fewer jobs fewer consumer spending and countries like Philippines will suffer badly. We already had a rice shortage last year. Let's not make it a trend by eliminating all the fertilizers and pesticides. I know, I have a farm in Antique. No chems... much less rice.

[rozan143]

@WurledPeas :

really are u sure?

it seems like cavite is more blessed province compare to cebu and leyte,

cuz here in cebu its becoming hotter and hotter,hehe but anyways you have a point.

its all about al gore getting rich.hahaha thanx for da info..

mabuhay ang pilipinas!

[THkaas]

Ice has been melting for billions of years, but they didn't have google earth back then...

[truegwbfan]

such bs is believed?

[motoxmainia]

total shit....carbon trading 08 reached 126 trillion dollars ,it is projected to reach 10 trillion dollars ,the largest comodity world wide bigger than OIL ,COAL AND IRON , THATS WHAT THIS HOAX IS ABOUT

buying and selling fresh air ,fuck you mr al (capone)gore

eastangliaemails (dot) com WAKE UP ! ! ! Write to you congress ! Make them see the bigger picture. WE CAN MAKE THIS CHANGE HAPPEN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[tchejunco]

It's wonderfulllllllll

[aaronszachrauer]

Al Gore aka Goebbels of Global Warming Scam

[Kaoskadosk]

While caring about our earth is a good thing, their reasoning for doing so can be questioned.

[Scurck]

It is proven now. The earth is not getting warmer, it has in fact gone cooler in the last couple of years.

And of course, the fact STILL stands that CO2 does not increase the temperature. It is the temperature of the worlds oceans that causes the rise and fall of CO2 (as shown on Gores graphs if you zoom in a bit). The temperature changes are caused by the sun.

[sajeevan1]

no its not getting cooler ice caps are still melting there is no big change earth is in danger lets stop exsisting and start living

yep your right co2 doesnt increase temp but carbon monoxide can kill up just the slightest change can effect our whole ecosystems

[Scurck]

Yes it is. The data used to "prove" global warming where faulty. So they did a new study who used much more reliable data and it showed that the earth is cooling.

The half-life of CO at room air temperature is 3-4 hours (CO2=38 years).

[mrh112]

yep all gore, hmm strange how he came out with this still UNPROOVEN theory when his wonderfully crap career started to fail and hit the dust, still if you want to beleive the world is ending and all that crap be my guest, lol the sad and probably true fact is we will all probably be nuked before we can even worry about global warming, north korea, china, iran ect...

[bentaye]

It makes me sick .. Global warming is a fact, but it is NOT CAUSED by HUMAN ACTIVITIES ... it is directly linked to solar activity ..

And in the few next years it will cool down again .. this CO2 story is just bullshit ..

just ask google and you will find some very interesting docs on the subject ..

[mrh112]

soo true too bad the only idiots who actually beleive global warming is caused by us are all what is left of the 70's hippy parade, still it will all come clean eventually, there getting desperate now with all the new adds and all, they know people are starting to get the truth!

[rocketsredglare101]

"The cheapest way to stop global climate change is not converting to

solar power or buying a hybrid car. It's putting on a condom.

That's the conclusion of a London School Of Economics study showing money spent on contraception is five times more efficient than money spent on clean energy technologies. It backs up a recent Oregon State University study tha

t concludes overpopulation and massive immigration is the single biggest threat to the environment." NUMBERSUSA(DOT)COM

[hiitsme3love128]

what if your a girl? lol

[FS9Media]

Theres girl condoms lol

[hiitsme3love128]

O_o WELL I GOTTA KEEP MY P*SSY PROTECTED! I NEED GIRL CONDOMS!!!! XD

[Xhaosz]

Al Gore actually is right, believe it or not, Global warming is happening as we speak, we need to change things

[tkpenalty]

I feel for al gore with so many idiots in this world who just refuse to listen to evidence and come to conclusions themselves without it.

[crimsontiderdotcom]

He can speak so everyone can understand from the 114 year old man to the 3 year old child and even the unfortunate people with IQ's below 70. But damn it's s......l.......o.......w.

[nhprman]

Gore's scare tactics are based on grossly out-of-date data. The 4 meter sea level rise is a myth that even the UN had to retract and revise in its report, due to faulty models. Gore fails to mention that scientist still cannot spell out EXACTLY how much we are affecting global temperatures (plural - there is no ONE "Earth Temp.") and by what percentage we must cut back pollution to arrest those changes - that is IF we can change the earth's climate at all, which is doubtful. Google: Epic FAIL.

[tkpenalty]

Unfortunately for people like you the consensus of scientists disagrees. Gore's data has been reiterated by many other scientists, politicians, etc.

It seems like you haven't even watched the video if you missed all the projections that were available.

There is no evidence against global warming, but there is much evidence for it. Take the recent unseasonal weather across the world for example, dust storms, floods, everything.

[prismaticmarcus]

it seems you wrote this without looking at the vids, which are full of projected global temperature changes. you also musn't have heard gore say, in this vid, that emissions need to reduce by 80% by 2050.

[nhprman]

prismaticmarcus, thanks for simply repeating the bogus claims in the video. Repeat after me: Just because someone SAYS something in a video, doesn't make it AUTOMATICALLY TRUE. Projecting a "global temperature" doesn't mean there IS such a thing. Saying one must reduce by 80% does NOT say that the figure is accurate. In fact, this is a shot-in-the-dark estimate. We should always question science and there is no "settled" science here, just a lot of guesses and scare tactics.

[prismaticmarcus]

sure the 80% figure might really be 85% or 65%. i don't know and you really don't.

but to say 'we should always question science' doesn't make sense. science IS the processing of questioning. it's about looking at the evidence and trying to develop explanations and theories that explain it. gravity's 'just a theory'. but apples still fall from trees.

and yes, the thought of the climate becoming more extreme and more unpredictable, accompanied by disappearing coastlines is very very scary.

[nhprman]

prismaticmarcus, I get that "science is the process of questioning' But do you? The theories espoused by Gore et al are not a Religion. There is no "right" answer, and no "proven forever." You're right - I don't know what percentage, if any, we're contributing to warming. If we don't know, how can someone like Gore INSIST that we must roll back to pre-1990 levels of CO2? Why not pre-1970 levels, or pre-1880 levels? Because the final # is not known.

[prismaticmarcus]

well it look at it from a betting perspective. if you were ruler of the world would you be willing to stake unpredictable and catastrophic climate change on the chance that global warming isn't happening?

i'd rather have cleaner air and use the planet more sustainably regardless.

there's hardly ever a 'right' answer in science, but there is consensus e.g the world revolves around the sun. a small number of people not believing this and saying so very loudly doesn't make it a debate.

[howdythere34]

Hey didn't it used to be called global warming? Now that were in this actual cooling phase and the science doesn't prove positive it's now climate change? Wouldn't the climate change regardless if man were here on not dumb fucks? Hey how about this..the earth has been here way longer then we've had records...so your sample doesn't say shit....wake up folks the world won't last forever anyway....

[TFMahaffers]

What you just said not only is not accurate, but it doesn't support or lead to anything. Instead of being destructive (or an asshole...however you want to think about it), try doing something positive. If that means NOT bagging on people who are working to fix and help the world they love, then do that.

[tkpenalty]

Both terms go hand in hand and proves your utter stupidity if you're scrutinizing over the name of something. Yes there is natural climate change but it has been accelerated exponentially since the industrial age due to the rather obvious reasons.

Scientists CAN look to the past in terms of the composition of the atmosphere.

Why dont you put arrogance aside and actually study these mechanisms? They're quite simple actually. Im astounded that so many in the US fail to understand this...

[prismaticmarcus]

i don't understand the point you're trying to make.

[howdythere34]

I see why you dont get the point.....keep on drinking the Kool Aid and following this little religion.........

[prismaticmarcus]

i showed you the respect of trying to understand your point of view. pity you can't do the same.

[howdythere34]

My point of view is fully expressed now in the fraud that has been exposed. You going to deny this now the fixed science of temps etc from the pro-warming scientist themselves? When we've actually been cooling? Now if you can't face those real facts that have finally come to light...you truly are worshipping a religion and not a fact of science.....fair enough?

[prismaticmarcus]

i haven't looked at all these emails that have come to light, but my understanding is that scientists are still in the process of developing models and theories. that's fine. that's what scientists do. nothing's being 'worshipped'.

[howdythere34]

But the fact that data elements were left out of presentation? Data that would refute their own claims is pretty damning and greatly hurts the scientific community. Two big blow in less then a year on the science community...1. the fossil that was the "big Link" and now this conspiracy...which could actually effect folks financially.....

[prismaticmarcus]

in the meantime the arctic ice cap and antarctic ice sheets are breaking up, and glaciers are retreating worldwide. this was predicted 30 years ago. by scientists...

whether or not you agree that global warming is accelerated by man, the evidence is there that the globe's climate IS changing. and we have to do something about it. and yes, it will affect us financially, but not as much as island nations who are already making plans for when their whole countries become submerged. that's reality.

[rxwoman]

NOPE.  read them again.

Besides you are talking about thousands of personal e-mails going back over ten years, from ONE university, and all they could find was a couple e-mails to take out of context.

Not exactly a smoking gun of any "conspiracy" or fraud.

But since you and others had already made your minds up, it's easier to blow out of proportion.

[rxwoman]

Hmm,

 where's your proof that the earth is actually cooling.

And remember, a rant from retards on FOX noise does not count as proof.

[howdythere34]

Fox noise? Kinda like your NY Times I suppose? Wheres the proof its warming, wouldn't you think if you have a huge number of dissenting scientist as well that the "proof" isn't really in? I'd think if the scientific community is still divided then there is a ton of work to be done. Plus NASA wont even share it's data..whats that tell you. Climate change is all about money and control and nothing more

[jagman84]

Its all about tax & population control. A new world order! Socialism by the back door. They dont give a stuff obout the enviroment. Wake up and reject this con!

[thepianomayne]

@jagman84 The adults are at work trying to solve some of the words greatest problems. You should take your world order bullshit somewhere else child

[shellius]

They just started the tours, they launched on Sept. 22 so yes they are new... check back later for more of them.

[andrewuk]

This is a fantastic facility of Google Earth; educating is the key to helping us avoid the negatives of climate change. I'm a poor, baked-bean eating student, and even I have made a small pledge: signing up to the UK's Woodland Trust. Come on, do your bit too.

[joanbolets]

I went on google earth, but I couldn't see how to activate these tours... apparentely, up to the moment (sept, 26 2009) only three tours are available...
