  • Must be so comforting to believe that we can pump trillions of tons of previously fossilized carbon into the atmosphere with no ill effects on climatic stability. Great, too, that espousing such a ridiculous belief dovetails perfectly with the interests of the most powerful & entrenched political forces in the world. If you're articulate and willing to lie, you can even get a $40 monthly check from Burson-Marsteller for raising doubts about established science on public fora like this. Win-win!

  • @milnoid

    Win-Win indeed that mouthbreathers (that's you and your ilk) think for one minute that a single human being is going to unplug a single gadget, much less turn back the clock to 1880. When we both know only more energy is going to be used as everyday passes. Instead of carping about something you have no control over, try adapting or dying out like the dinos did.

  • @bowlingballout I'm quite sure we will use every last barrel of oil we can find -- even even if it costs more than a barrel of oil to extract it. I've never denied that reality. But the rank dishonesty and deception involved in climate change denial is still pretty difficult to stomach, and bodes ill for humanity's capacity to adapt.

  • @milnoid

    At least now we're on the same page. This subject has been in the forefront of the news, with all the hand wringing to go along with it since the late 1980s. I think I'd rather listen to Jehovah's Witnesses tell me their Armageddon is coming than hear about GW. What is real, is our incessant polluting and the over population of the Earth. Far before the Sun kills us, we'll take ourselves out... one way or another.

  • hitler had brown eyes

  • Ah..."green" technology doesn't make anyone rich but those that invested in the Chicago Climate Exchange...like Gore and Goldman Sachs. Stupid Sheeple...

    If you eliminated ALL electrical, ALL fossil fuel, ALL fire of any kind from ALL of the earth, for the next 50 years...it wouldn't change the temp. a full degree. Stupid Sheeple.

  • @obamatheonebiglie

    You my friend, are one of the few with a brain.

    Congrats!

    :D

  • jeeze ppl don't talk so much, if you read 1 comment you could watch vid 10 times!

  • It's absolutely astounding that people don't think Global Warming is real. Of course the earth's temperature fluctuates, we are coming out of an ice age. But we are able to predict these changes with great precision and still the earth's climate is rising much faster than it should be.

    @ClownFight , you said Global Warming scientists are funded by the government and start-up energy companies, which is completely insane. Big oil is challenging the truth, not the other way around.

  • @Lorax4Life

    Believe anything that makes your little heart content.

    The whole global warming is such a scam that they had to rename it "Climate Change".

    We humans are little ants, that have very little power over anything. If you really want to waste your time with such nonsense, be my guest.

  • @bowlingballout I believe that just as 97% of the scientists who proved that climate change is real your are also a Harvard, MIT, Berkeley etc scientist. right? And btw, it was republicans who renamed it climate change just before big oil paid them millions.

  • @Dasch1A

    What I love about your ilk is that you never address reality. Here is a taste of reality for you. NO ONE, not even you, is going to unplug a single device. In fact, you should count on energy consumption to double in the next ten years. Faced with that, tell me what your friends at Harvard and MIT suggest we do about it? Pissing and moaning about it will solve nothing. Go wring your hands with your drum circle buddies until you have a legit plan of action about this topic.

  • @Lorax4Life Climate change is happening. The argument is are people causing it to happen. The belief in man made climate change is nothing but a ploy for power and money. There was climate change before man and there will be climate change after man. Climate change has been going on for billions of years so why are you concerned about it now? Man made climate change Is the new religion for the week minded, give us your wealth and sacrifice while the kings (politicians) live high on the hog.

  • @Lorax4Life Its not the warming part,its the man-made warming part most people don't agree with.

  • I couldn't agree more bowlingball. I've been to Clingman's Dome in TN, the highest point in the state and second highest in the est. All of the trees up there are dead. When you see pictures from years ago, there was lush greenery. The view is clouded by smog. This is a result of pollution that I would like to see changed. Changing climate as a result? Don't believe that's the case. Climate changes up and down throughout history. Why would we think that all of a sudden the cause is different?

  • The conservative unscientific bias is immediately evident in anyone who brings up some ad hominem claim they are being "oppressed" by some "liberal" bias during the proven AGW theory.

  • I am a fierce animal rights soldier, but even *I* found this hilarious! Yeah - that Sharpton-Hitler (Robertson) PSA annoyed me.

    I am also NOT a pacifist. I believe each individual should be allowed to choose which war to fund and morally support. The "support-the-troop" wacko-Nazis are the biggest bunch of fanatical hypocrites, telling me I should be forced to support gov't troops even MORE than I already do (with my taxes).

  • Why is it that the average Joe can't see the difference between predictions and facts. Global Warming theory is a worst case scanario put forward by a group of scientists funded by Governments and start-up energy technology companies.

    Sure, pollution is bad, we know that, but people won't switch to a more expensive, more complicated energy source unless they're threatened with the end of the world.

    It's a great marketing strategy designed to bankrupt the Arabs... but it ain't necessarily true.

  • Even if you don't believe global warming is real, why would you not support all of the positive actions toward energy independence that are a direct result of believing in it -- especially if you call yourself a "fierce environmentalist???" You say "gobal warming' is going to make people rich" But I would rather have people becoming rich off from solar, wind, geothermal energy, etc. rather than BIG OIL (nonrenewable resource) getting more of our money and polluting the environment with it.

  • Remember, this is lampooning the unctuous commercials in question. I think you make very good points.

    Pollution is a very real problem that needs to be addressed. I just don't buy into man made global warming.

  • I totally agree that we humans are trashing our home, the Earth. I'm just not ready to making the leap of faith that our atmosphere is warming up beyond what is cyclical and normal. Thanks for commenting.

  • It's not about whether or not global warming is the fault of man or if we can change it.

    It IS about the fact that there are only so many resources and we DON'T control those resources. Until we start conquering Iraq, Iran, and accumulating those resources for ourselves the people who do control the resources will sell them to the highest bidder, or keep them for themselves. It's almost more about economic freedom than enviromental protection.

  • I think we should try to solve any problem that we recognize whether we actually succeed or not only time will tell. Better to try and fail than never try at all in my opinion.

  • I think you make a good point. This mostly dealt with the silliness of the original campaign.

  • I was giving a clear voice to your opinion, to make you realize how stupid you sound.

    I'm positive we have all of the means and technologies today that can solve this crisis.

    We simply need the willpower to bring the change into place.

    And the scientific community has shown on many occasions that there is agreement among the vast majority of scientists that there exists an important necessity to save our climate from disaster.

  • "I do not believe we are the cause, much less that we have the power or the gumption to do anything about it even if we did."

    This is a silly argument. We are changing the very composition of our atmosphere every day.

    tinyurl (dot) com/2skv83

    Whether you like it or not, we humans are nature, just as nature surrounds us. We push nature, and nature will push back.

    We must take action to stop our harm of nature, before it becomes too late to stop it.

  • Two points to consider. You cannot prove it sufficiently for me with what is and or has been purported. I don't buy into the notion that samples taken over the amount of time that science has been worth a damn means anything in the big picture.

    That said, I do agree with your notion that- "I'm positive we have all of the means and technologies today that can solve this crisis.

    We simply need the willpower to bring the change into place."

    If that statement is true, I agree, we should act.

  • When you say that my argument is silly, if you are talking about man's ability to harm the environment I do agree we are killing ourselves with pollution.

    My other argument is that we DO NOT have the power to stop any purported warming, and if we do have the power (something I reject) we do not have the will.

    I can take a beautiful oak tree and destroy it, but that doesn't mean I reconstruct one.

    We can destroy the Earth, yes, but we cannot put it back together. We don't have that ability.

  • "My other argument is that we DO NOT have the power to stop any purported warming, and if we do have the power (something I reject) we do not have the will."

    So we'll just sit on our asses until the human species (along with most other life on Earth) is destroyed? This could take as little as ten years.

    Even if we didn't have the power, don't you think it wise to at least TRY? In this scenario, whether we take action or not, we're all dead in the end, right? Why not at least try?

  • "I can take a beautiful oak tree and destroy it, but that doesn't mean I reconstruct one."

    Right.

    Picture the Earth as this tree.

    The human race is a lumberjack.

    GHG emissions are the chainsaw.

    We are so close to cutting away enough of the tree that it will very soon fall down.

    We can stop the chainsaw, protect the exposed cuts in the tree, and try to bring it back to its original state. We cannot put it back together, we can only stop ourselves from destroying it, and give it time to heal.

  • I'm assuming that you mean the temperature records we have are too unreliable, since they don't go back far enough?

    If you take a look at the ice cores analysis, which gives measurements of the global temperature going back over 400 thousand years, you'll see that we are changing the natural cycle of climate on our planet.

  • I think you fell and hit your head. Anyone that thinks like you do doesn't even have a head to fall on. Maybe you were thinking with the other head that you thought with when you were a teenager

  • Thanks for your keen insightful comments, now go get in line for some more Kool-Aid. Apparently one dose wasn't enough for you.

  • "Thanks for your keen insightful comments, now go get in line for some more Kool-Aid."

    None left. You drank it all, ya idiot.

    Check out the IPCC AR4.

    Not a single national science academy disagrees with its conclusions.

    There is not a single scientific organization dealing in the study of climate, oceans or atmosphere that doesn't concur with the IPCC AR4 conclusions.

    Sorry, this case was closed a long time ago.

    Wake up, get your head out of the clouds, and learn the facts.

  • Great argument. Leading with the oft favorite ad hominem attacks.

    Argumentum ad populi may be sufficient for you, but it isn't for me.

    Was the case closed a long time ago, or just your mind?

    The human species will follow the course of most other species, namely extinction, what makes you feel so special that it should be thrust upon a generation other than your own?

    A little conceited to think it should befall others and not you.

  • What kind of mentality is that?

    "Destroy our natural ecosystem, and take every animal and plant on Earth with us to the grave!"

    "The human species will follow the course of most other species, namely extinction, what makes you feel so special that it should be thrust upon a generation other than your own?"

    You should consider that we would be directly responsible for our own extinction. If we have the means to save ourselves, why are we not doing so?

  • Why did you put quotations around part of your first sentence? Who were you quoting?

    You evade my questions but I will answer yours. "If we have the means to save ourselves, why are we not doing so?"

    That presupposes that we DO have the means, and the necessity.

    I do not believe we are the cause, much less that we have the power or the gumption to do anything about it even if we did.

    We over value our abilities constantly. People should stop watching so much science fiction.

  • Here is the basic idea. 1 Science is the best tool of prediction man has ever created, sorry Nostradamus. 2 All of the well respected scientists agree that current human industrial acticities, if not significantly changed within the decade, will catastrophically alter the Earths climate; 3 - The most likely outcome (by far) is a mass extincition and unimaginable human and economic losses; an unrecoverable loss of life support capacity on the only spaceship we have.

    Are you smarter than them?

  • First, "ALL" is a gross over statement. Secondly, yes, I am ready for my dirt nap - same goes for my three kids. If mankind is over, so be it.

  • Climate crisis hoax? You've seen the pictures of the North Pole. Why is it melting?

    For the video itself, there were a few too many bad puns in the script.

  • Based on your comment, I hit the exact mark I was aiming for. I was illustrating absurdity with absurdity. Whether or not there is legitimate global warming, whether or not it is exacerbated by man, those original commercials were beyond farcical. You couldn't possibly think those commercials had any value unless you wrote or produced them.

  • oh my god things change! run for your lives!!

    last time i checked the native americans crossed a land bridge between asia and the americas when there was a mile of ice over canada. rewind another few thousand years and giant cold blooded reptiles could survive because it was a predominantly tropic planet.. carbon levels follow temperature because temperature changes H2O vapor content and throttles density of life. toxic fumes suck and we should ditch FFs but climate crisis = more fear mongering.

  • Thank god for some reason.

  • Pictures????

    You base proof on pictures of something that has been around for millions of years?

    So we take some pictures over the last 30 years and there is less ice.

    Less Ice compared to what?

    30 years?

    The polar ice caps have expanded and receded for millions of years, yet somehow we are still here.

    But NOW, we must panic because certain doom is near?

    There is no sound logic to support the 30 years of ice study and how it relates to the millions of years unstudied polar cap studies.

  • Save our planet! Go veg! Be green!

  • There are a few things about Global Warming that don't quite add up... but on the other hand, it's probably a good idea not to be wasteful, etc. Funny video!

  • "Do you think you are more valuable than future generations."

    Have you even listened to what I'm telling you?

    If we follow your route, do nothing, become extinct in a few years, THERE ARE NO FUTURE GENERATIONS.

    If we follow my route, there's hope for the future... even though we will all die eventually, future generations will thank us for taking action.

  • Look, I don't want to bust your chops on this any more. We are in agreement that this planet is in peril, but NOT from global climate change. The real problems lie in over population and pollution. Those are actual problems that we can see, measure and there isn't any debate about.

    We will pollute ourselves out of existence far sooner than 'roast ourselves' by raising temps by 1-5 degrees (a concept I reject).

  • I believe you are uneducated as to the possible effects of the climate crisis:

    en wikipedia org/wiki/Effects_of_global_war­ming

    Hate to break it to you, but NASA has predicted that we will likely hit the tipping point (natural feedback, look it up) in less than 10 years.

    Unfortunately, almost every other problem facing humanity will be like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Listen, the fact is, I WANT the IPCC, the scientific majority, and others like me to be dead wrong.

  • 90% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct, what makes us so special that we should be spared the same fate? If it's our time, then it's our time.

    Global Warming is modern day Phlogiston, the proof of its folly won't be declared until decades after our deaths, but once it has been we will join the pantheon of other idiotic cultures that were afraid of their own shadows.

    Good day to you just the same, no ill will - just differences of opinions.

  • Do you have proof that the climate crisis is a "hoax"?

    You should probably watch this video:

    tinyurl com/2ys297

  • Here is an answer you probably aren't prepared for.

    Scenario 1) There is a creator. Answer: He won't let his creation be destroyed by mankind.

    Scenario 2) Big Bang/Evolution. Answer: What difference does it make, the Earth is going to fall back into the Sun when the Universe collapses onto itself. Read your scientific texts, they'll tell you that's our fate.

    Somehow the death of the entire Universe is more interesting to me than the current crop of human's silly notions.

  • bowlingballout,

    1) If there is a "creator," I'm sure he won't give a shit if some insignificantly superior race on an insignificant planet becomes extinct. And in case you haven't realized, this "creator" hasn't intervened at any point in documented history, and plenty of awful things have happened in that time.

    2) That's our eventual end, quite possibly a few million years from now. The climate crisis is upon us NOW. So unless you want to see you and your children die, TAKE ACTION.

  • Looks like we're in agreement. I'm no fan of any creator. Even if there was one, he'd have lot's of 'splainin' to do Lucy.

    We as a species are so full of our own crap. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in an ant hill (is that even possible? I digress) It must be fun to hear them discuss all the goings on too.

    What's difference between death now and death then? Do you think you are more valuable than future generations.

    You lead the way, by moving into a tent and turning of the electricity.

  • I don't think he thinks he is more valuable than future generations, I think he is supporting them. Let's face it, it's a problem and we need to end it.

  • Haha hillariously great video! I would consider myself a conservative environmentalist, but dont buy into the gospel of global warming that seems to be circulating the public eye. I dont agree with the notion that if you dont believe Al Gore's lies that you like to pollute. There is a complete opposite spectrum of scientists who question whether gw is really happening, and if so, what is exactly causing it. Thanks for posting!

  • There immediate ways to solve the problems but it will take drastic action. Wecansolveitorg is not one of them.

    We Can Solve It recruits global memberships and donations but refuses to allow any products on their website unless it is made in the USA. That's not global thinking that is nationalism which is what got us into the shit world we are now facing.

  • I suggest immediate cessation of all oil production or use. Of course trying to get along without heating oil, and plastics may be a difficult transition. How are you going to keep warm Canada, lot's and lot's of wool blankets?

    Even Ed Bagley Jr. scarfs down the resources. I suggest you lead the way and unplug your modern lifestyle. Until then, you invalidate your own point.

  • bowlingballout

    You invalidate your own point because your are on the oil bandwagon. You think that oil production is the cause of global problems but that's just where you are wrong.

    There is one reason for the emission of 90 percent greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and you miss the mark thinking it is oil production. Carbon emissions due to oil by-products is such a small fraction of the problem as to be almost non existence.

    There must be an immediate moratorium yes but it's not oil.

  • BBO, I´m not uptight...but the thing is...sometimes people cry wolf is a prank, then the wolf does come and no matter how much they cry wolf again, the others won´t believe it is true...comic if it weren´t tragic.

  • Moses and Hitler also had another thing in common - they both believed in god.

  • ahahahahahahahahahahhahaaaaaa!­!!sweet!!

  • Love it. A little controvery never killed anyone... today... well not the last 5 minutes I hope.

  • Shouldn't Hitler be where the Republican was and Mosses be where the Democrats was? lol But seriously there are a lot of strong facts support man made global warming. We need to do something about it and maybe get back some of those jobs we lost to China and India back while were at it.

  • While I agree with your stance on being skeptical of any special interest movement, I think that it is rather unscientific to assume that there are no climate change crises on the sole basis that special interest groups are talking about them.

    pppfpfffpftt who am I kidding that was awesome :D

  • man you are awesome , that is such a great video.Global warming is BS and the people that believe it are dumb sheep. The iceage came and went,WHY?,What did we do? It's a natural earth cycle FOOLS.

  • Yeah, the typical liberal bias gets old. Just because we are smart enough not to buy into the global warming crap doesn't mean we like pollution, yet that is what many uninformed people think.

  • Fantastic! As my daughter would write: "lol!"

  • you are a silly man.

  • It happens quite frequently.

  • What did I just watch? I think it's funny but am not really sure.

    )hand shake(

  • ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol 5 again bro..

  • Hahahahahaha! Awesome!

  • ;-)

  • hahaha, excellent job:)

  • Thanks Debbie...

  • that was good. a little strange but good.

  • Sheena

    Did you see the original commercial?

  • Very nice. Great animation!

  • Thanks Stacie

    I always appreciate comments from you!

  • LOL,,,good one! "The righhhhhttttt thing to do!"

  • Thanks Bostorican

    Just illustrating silliness when I see it. =)

  • hahahahahahah...this was freak'n great!!!!

  • Thanks

    of Doom...

    the Summer political stretch is going to be fun... Muhahahaha

  • aaaaaa Joseph pushing the envelope again - very good.

    I agree with the doc your animation is improving greatly. Good job!!

  • Thanks Nancy

    I think it possible to be an environmentalist in practice (I am) without having to run around like chicken little. We have so many real problems on Earth that I can't imagine giving so much energy (like the bad pun?) to something so utterly unprovable.

  • Good parody! =)

  • Thanks Andy!

  • do i get bonus points for being uptight and an environmentalist and still laughing ?

  • 13th

    Actually, I changed my description... I am a fierce environmentalist, just not one to cling to every new *theory* as if it were the be-all end-all.

    Yes, you get extra points... :D

  • hA!

  • Haha, "Concentrated"

  • Thanks for watching Chris!

  • Okay, I just watched the actual commercial.

    I think yours is MUCH better.

    And I don't hate you.

  • Katilyn

    Thanks for not hating me =D

  • *GASP*!

    You spelled my name wrong. Now I definitely hate you. :-P Haha, I joke, I joke.

  • Kaitlyn

    I think the new spelling is rather fashionable don't you? XD

  • Your animation skills seem to be improving. Keep up the great work.

  • Dr Z

    Thanks

    Part I of Customer Service due uploaded this weekend. I edited it to death... I think it has its moments.

    Danke

  • Hilter and Moses as spokesmen in an infomercial, where do you come up with this stuff, ha ha!! Hilarious! "It's the REICH thing to do" Ha ha ha!!!

  • Lisa

    I wonder where the producers of the actual commercial came up with *their* ideas. We have to thank them for all their hilarity in the first place. ;^)

  • LOL...

  • BBO..scandalous just like me! hehe!!!

  • Clay

    Absurdity's underbelly is pocked with further absurdity. Ha ha!

  • Joseph Morabito caused Hurricane Katrina.

    The secret is out.

  • It's strange...I thought the Pat Robinson group was all about denying global warming...seems they have changed their tune.

  • Eaters of Fine Babies

    I am Mr. Environment in my family, always reusing, recycling, composting ... all that. Pollution is a serious issue, but I giggle at learned men's need to believe in the boogie man.

    Dare I say it? Hell yeah!

    Global warming is the new AIDS. Just a cause celeb, where people can be cool for just wearing a ribbon.

  • It's the REICH thing to do! LOL!

  • Kathleen

    Isn't it silly?

    Just thought I'd do my part. :)

  • NwM

    People shouldn't leave their oxes unattended if they don't want them GORED... a pun, get it??? Admit it, I'm too fast for you. :-)

  • Please remove me from your list. This just keeps sinking lower.

  • Pizzapinot

    There is always that risk, angering people, when one goes into political humor. The point was to illustrate how foolish the actual commercials were. Have you seen the commercial with Pat Robertson and Al Sharpton?

  • People who get easily offended probably aren't part of your target market anyway, especially if they see you're just doing it for fun. Maybe put these on RightArm Prod, but I kind of like everything on one channel.

  • LOL  i so agree .. excellent vid

  • GortexRobo

    Thanks =D

  • Oy Vay! LOL As someone else said, they keep getting better and better. And I'm inclined to agree with you about the GW issue.

  • Toni

    People tend to mistakenly link GW with other global problems. Yes, there are many complex issues we have to face, but nothing like the images that are being promulgated. IMO

  • That was amazing! Great work as usual!

  • SmartBlueCat

    Much appreciated!

  • Jesus, Joseph, and Mary! What a vid! :D

  • Beautiful.

  • Thanks Frankothemountain

  • You were right. Now I hate you.  ; D

  • Wompie

    I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. lulz

  • My alternate comment: You were right. Making fun of Hitler is NOT funny. People will be totally justified in hating you.

  • I would have gone with Mengele but I didn't know if his face was as recognizable :P

  • oi. finding your page was the best thing that's happened to me lately...

  • Don-John

    DUDE!!!!!!!!!

    That's a cool comment, and on your page too???

    Ultra cool!

  • holy moses this was awesome!

  • Thanks ChannelReview

    I'm still learning... but it is fun along the way.

  • LOL Very funny! Your animations are really good. every time I watch one, they seem to be another step up :0) Well done

  • Nicole

    Thanks! I keep trying :-)

  • Can't we all just get along! LOL! That Hitler is a real joker! POPS
