so funny ,sad and true

[keetongeer]

This posted video, “40 Years in 3 Minutes” takes a hard look at an environmental disaster towards the end, while synched to the beat of The Beatles’ GLASS ONION”.

i DONT EVEN OWN A CAR NEITHER I SPEND

[TheCaptainLulz]

I love watching the foreign oil talking point. The US' 2 biggest suppliers of foreign oil are Canada and Mexico. I dont think were a terrorist danger to anyone here in Canada

@TheCaptainLulz

fuck you i know all about the moose cavalry and trained polar bear death squads

get back BACK I SAY

[rlwhite55]

I forgot how perfect this one was.... nice to recapture the moment... ?

[danny114950]

this video does manage to capture americas short attention span pretty well! also whats with the random tuna sandvich at the end?

[miamistorm]

Very well done video that showcases your abundant creativeness and ability to deliver a message relevant to current issues and topics of debate. I usually don't agree with your perspective on many topics but I must comment upon your wonderful talent to produce entertaining and thought evoking animated video shorts. Have you thought about doing a much longer video on a current issue(s)?

markfiore videos are always worth watching even if you don't always agree with Mark. Great job as usual.

[marcostar57]

Good job as usual! The part about news being "far away & foreign" is so true.. Americans are (or are kept) so sadly ignorant.

[JixMa]

Excellent! 5*****

[amazingbollweevil]

Thanks for pointing out something we so often forget. We're constantly destroying our ecosystem but unless it's exciting, no one will report on it.

[bohemianh]

funny, tv watchers, the intellect of america grows each minute

[akai454]

Very clever, Kick Ass People!!!

[Mauhadeeb28]

"30,000 deaths a year due to pollution"..... What a bogus non scientific stat.

[dangerouslytalented]

@Mauhadeeb28 That study you are talking about gathered together the data on deaths from diseases that are caused by coal fired power plants, and then subtracting the number of people who would have died from those diseases anyway (extrapolated from data from areas that don't burn coal).

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented Like I said, not a very scientific stat.

[dangerouslytalented]

@Mauhadeeb28 Actually, they are probably being conservative with regard to the numbers.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented They would have to be "conservative" with the numbers considering there is no proof just guesstimations. One might say it is due to that and someone else may say it is due to other things. It all depends on which scientists theories you choose to believe.

[dangerouslytalented]

@Mauhadeeb28 ... so who will you believe, the doctors or the coal companies that are trying to say that coal is clean and does not kill anybody.

[aweiss]

@dangerouslytalented who would i beleive? A scientist who is only funded because he raises alarmist notions or one who gaisn very little and rubs up agaisnt his colleagues with his research.

Hm....

[dangerouslytalented]

@aweiss Actually, the coal companies pay handsomely for favorable studies, just like the tobacco companies used to.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented Tobacco companies still do. Everyone has an agenda and the agenda is to do whatever i necessary to insure longevity of employment. Science would be pretty defunct if they never spread terror stats. Same goes for corporations and lobbyists.

[dangerouslytalented]

@Mauhadeeb28 There is far more money in denying that a very very profitable industry does no harm than in saying that it does harm.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented I never said it didn't do harm, just that the numbers are blown out of proportion.

It is common knowledge in this day and age that any and all smoke may result in adverse side affects but most people do not care because the rewards generally outweigh the risk. If they didn't than people would not be working at the plants.

[dangerouslytalented]

@Mauhadeeb28 Do you know how much harm coal smoke causes? In London back in the 50s, lung disorders were pandemic. After they banned coal, the deaths went WAY down.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented You are ignoring my previous posts and questions. Millions of people all over the world work for the coal industry because the rewards are greater than the risk. If it really was as bad as the ulterior motivated scientists say they are, the people would recognize it and discontinue their employment.

Also, a large factor of the lung health problems in France have been directly related to Asbestos. Around the 60s it was used less and less until its complete ban in 1997

[aweiss]

@dangerouslytalented example?

also you don't address my larger points

[dangerouslytalented]

@aweiss You had two points. I have now answered them both.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented I simply do not care. There are far more pressing issues than playing science semantics with either group since both have ulterior motives ie funding

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented I also fin it hard to believe that of the 60,000 coal fire plant employees, 30,000 die every year. At that rate it would be impossible to find new workers. And if the study spans out beyond those who actually work the mines, why aren't those who work in the closest proximity dieing at astronomical rates? Seems like they should be dieing left and right by that stat.

[dangerouslytalented]

@Mauhadeeb28 That is deaths in the areas that are affected by coal plant pollution. The towns and cities downwind.

And the people who live in places affected by coal mining. Particularly mountain top removal mining.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented Does it not seem odd that those at the plants aren't dieing exponentially? If the facts were as the studies says, people would never work at a coal plant because not only would everyone around them be dieing but hundreds of thousands of people would be showing new symptoms thus notifying the folks to stop working there.

I do not doubt for a minute that coal burning is hazardous to health, but I question how hazardous it is in comparison to not having it at all.

[dangerouslytalented]

@Mauhadeeb28 The pollution is not happening at the bottom of the chimney. The pollution goes up the chimney and becomes Somebody Else's Problem.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@dangerouslytalented And we are still at the reward over risk argument. Those who do not want to be affected by the coal should not live in the areas that use coal or support the coal industry by buying its power or using any of the many products it produces. The choice is ours. If we don't want it we should not support it but we have no right to stop others from using it themselves.

[postorm]

@Mauhadeeb28 Absolutely! Choose to live in a different atmosphere, choose only the electrons flowing down your power wires that comes from hydro electric generators.

[Mauhadeeb28]

@postorm Exactly. At least you get it.

[WorldCapitalBeats]

i just dont believe anything from bp or the govt anymore about this story

[miamistorm]

As usual Mark your video showcases your creative talent and is both thought provoking and entertaining. You have everything right except the 'Climate-gate' facts and fallacies which you have not yet addressed. Although in the case of BP your spot on correct. I would have mentioned BP's Photoshoping of pictures and video stills along with a lengthy indictment listing BP's entire miserable safety record. Well done videos always worth watching and thought provoking even if you disagree with Mark.

[dangerouslytalented]

@miamistorm The climategate thing was a complete antiscientific lie. They just took all of the emails, then quotemined them for the stuff that, when taken out of context, looked really really really bad, and then said that the whole lot were like this.

It is exactly the same thing that they did to Van Jones, Sherrod, Acorn, They lie and don't care who they hurt.

[aweiss]

@dangerouslytalented delete data, change data, how the hell is that excusable

[dangerouslytalented]

@aweiss They were not deleting the data OR changing the data. Some of the data was, what they call in statistical circles "outliers", meaning that they were spikes outside the mean. These are normally disregarded, whether they are positive or negative.

[dangerouslytalented]

I was thinking of the Nigerian problem, BP was behind that too, the oil platforms have massive leakage problems, the fishing industry there is dead, and very little is revealed in the mainstream media.

It is really a pathetic situation that a silly cartoon like this is the only way a lot of people can find out about massive environmental disasters.

[Craydon]

Don't worry we'll notice it all when we can't get food from our own land and water. It's like the say, you don't know what you have until it's gone.

[aweiss]

@Craydon taht won't happen, we can aquafarm and farm with sea water that has been purified, that problem will never exist

[dangerouslytalented]

@aweiss Purified seawater? Purifying seawater causes a massive deadzone around the area where the outfall is, because the salt is far more concentrated there.

[aweiss]

@dangerouslytalented The heinous environmental hazard of salt!!!!

salt can be harvested and used domestically, many people cook with salt, even if it is concentrated and can't be harvested, which I doubt, it would dissipate in the water.

That is really the thinnest most meager response I could have imagined. No offense to you because your position is near indefensible.

[dangerouslytalented]

@aweiss The sheer volume of salt that would be produced by such a plant would greatly outweigh the capacity of the market to absorb it, if more than a few cities do it.

Where desalination IS done, there is a huge dead zone. That is scientific fact. It actually happens.
