CO2 Don't hold your breath...

[rusty1491]

@1:17 was already admitted by deniers several years ago as being inaccurate. This is old news. I like to see a counter argument to Dr Richard Lindzen's findings that the IPCC has exaggerated the retention of heat when CO2 is doubled by 6 to 7 times.

google NASA - 2009 2nd warmest year on record this century.

Keep bringing the facts. Thank you.

We have met the enemy

and he is us.

[techjunkie92]

i also think this idea that it is "us" is a dangerous victimizing of someone who isn't by any stretch the main perpetrator. if anything it is governments and certain large corporations that are primarily responsible, and should be accountable (if in fact this info is valid re. global warming)

[yeahwotevaman]

It is us. We get up every morning and work all day reproducing this system.

[bbbleaver]

the foundation of corportocracy is its vast network of workers carrying out orders to accomplish everything 'they'/'us' hopes to accomplish ie gathering resources and funneling wealth up into their hands and taking our pithy share to "live". where would exxon, starbucks and all the rest be without 'us'? i hold myself accountable firstly and refuse to work for or contribute to their wealth by shopping or buying their goods and services.

[techjunkie92]

i agree that they would not be far without us. at the same time though i think its important to recognize that we arent the ones primarily responsbile for the destruction, because if we do so, we will focus too much on trying to change our own lives and thus not enough on trying to make a dent (or larger impact) on the primary perpetrators of injustice etc

[techjunkie92]

i am conflicted on global warming (what exactly the truth is) -- i certainly am hesitant to trust a government agency

[bbbleaver]

i feel similarly - though i am dead certain co2 pollution is having a marked effect as it is a measurable and notably easy to find data of levels of these contaminants in the soil, air and water. it just needs to stop. the long list of species that are now extinct due to over harvesting etc is well documented but what is difficult to know is what long term effect it will have on us without them here. tho, if earthworms disappear today we will most certainly be gone tomorrow.

[techjunkie92]

i just havent done enough research to determine the extent to which humans are influencing global warming, whether the amount of CO2 currently in the atmosphere is an issue, etc.I know there are numerous scientists who would dispute the commonly perpetuated views on the above and even whether global warming is occuring.not bein a scientist, I need to look into ths more to form a definite view. there are so many 'facts" being thrown out on all sides of the debate that it is diffiult to decipher

We can't level the rainforest, blow up mountains, poison the waters, put up factories that spews toxic smoke and enslave ourselves and fellow creatures without there being SERIOUS consequences...

The planet isn't going to sit by while we torture her.

If we give more authority to the governments to "handle the problem", the solution will of course be a one-world government, the expansion of slavery and control.

Our Happiness and the health of the planet goes HAND in HAND.

[Beatnuk]

therefore, the system itself needs to be uprooted and thrown away, because it thrives on misery.

This is done gradually, and the more people join in - the longer the planet can endure. There is a link between consciousness and the material plane that we are just now beginning to rediscover. If we are to move our consciousness back to our own nature, this will affect the physical reality we exist in. That energy will join forces with the planet itself, and strengthen the WHOLE.

[Beatnuk]

Our consciousness is directly linked to the entire planet. As long as we are disconnected, on that level, from our own nature, no solution will be found to work.

[bbbleaver]

it's like reconnecting a circuit? plug back in and re-establish that diminished relationship that once educated, nurtured, and gave meaning, to our lives.

[Beatnuk]

Kind of.

right now, most of us are connected to "the matrix" / industrial civilization. It is from the matrix our minds get their "impulses", and it shapes how we think and perceive the world. As a consequence, most humans are consciously dead and live in a state of perpetual running from or after something.

Nature allows the mind to function properly. This culture does the oposite. This culture is a system of mind manipulation techniques to make slavery seem attractive.

[SheepRCool17]

yuhh. can't really do too much until everyone realizes that and makes a conscious effort together.

well i'll be entering a field of science, i'm not sure which one yet, to do what everyone else should be doing

[ecstatica23]

I wonder for how long will be saying "there is still time"

[FoodOrFail]

Excellent video. I'm not a denier, but I have to say I do NOT think Carbon tax indulgences are going to solve anything, and are merely a means to gain more money and power. How could buying the 'right to pollute' ever solve the problem? It can't.

[asubjectiveopinion]

I'd have to say I agree with you, I can't really see that carbon trading amounts to anything more than a license for industry to carry on polluting while making a cynical bid to bolster the ailing commodities markets.

The fact that the political class have used it as a means to circumvent the physical reduction of emissions is yet another reason why I think it is little more than greenwash.
