He sais somewhere: "This means the end of human race...."
Warnings have been there already so many many years, and nobody listens. Nobody.
If all will happen what is foretold here in the video, and what is absolutely logical, then I can say just this: Human beings have killed this planet, nature, life, have followed only the most disgusting part inside of them and that is GREED. If human race will disappear it will be a blessing for the Universe. The only way to avoid worse.
You are never in the same place, ever in your life, not even for a millisecond. You are on a fast moving planet, both rotationally and orbitally, which is part of a fast moving solar system, which is part of a fast moving galaxy. You are now many many thousands of miles away from where you were in the universe, when you began reading this paragraph.
We as a species, are on a planet that appears to be in a BIG hurry to get us somewhere. Maybe the term "Human RACE" is more appro
the person that is holding the camera is annoying, can he stop breathing hard and stop responding to the speaker? god, what this guy is saying is important and this guys is killing it for us.
@thelivingroad pretty sure this is as full as you can get it. The broadcasts of the program this interview was a part of are only 30 minutes long, so this was likely the final edit for TV.
@starkiller187 You mean the SOPA/PIPA that was shot down after one day of internet protesting? The earthquakes that have been happening, en masse, since the dawn of time? 2012 IS happening because it's just another year.
People in World War 2 thought the world was ending. Civilizations HAVE ended before. Life will go on, maybe not for you and me, but it will. And to lay the blame at the feet of some conspiracy bullshit isn't giving the world or history its true credit.
Quote, "I haven't seen a moment like this in history" because "history" is short - very short. Talk geological times and what we are seeing is not new. The real problem here and now is the idea that there has never before been a complex human civilization on the Earth that has faced the prospect of being wiped out. Well there has. Google Talboys' work on the Stonehenge Observatory and the inexplicable changes in climate only 10,000 years ago or the Giza Wave Machine. Incredible,
I think he underestimates how drastic the current technology improvements have been in new fossil fuel extractions. Especially from shale. That does not change the overall implications of what he is telling us though.
@Halewijn01 it doesn't change it indeed. I'm willing to bet those drastic improvements aren't nearly good enough: have a look at what should be the third video in the related video list on the right: "The most IMPORTANT video you'll ever see". Wait until he gets to the part about insects in a jar.
Fantastisch dat we zo helder en duidelijk de situatie uitgelegd krijgen. Toch moeten we oppassen dat we met onze gedachten positief blijven over de toekomst van onze wereld. Wat we nu doen is de aarde de afgrond in denken en met deze angst gaan we ten onder. Laten we een wereld visualiseren die mooi is met een overvloed aan bronnen en liefde en beseffen dat dit een kans is op een betere wereld.
I believe, that our current 'Generation-Z', people born after the 1990, DO have this mindset and will take the necessary attitude when THEY are telling how the world should behave. They are well informed, have a incredible amount of information for themselves, have a lot more overview over the world then we (i'm 10 years older) ever had. I give all my hope and will free the path for those people to come. The glass is half-full.
Well, he's wrong about the poles, he's wrong about the glaciers. Human kind is 7 Billion strong and therefore can whithstand a blow of decreasing 90%. The earth's temperature has not risen for 15 years now..... What's he selling?
it's too late.. all people worry about is Justin Bieber, Paradise Hotel and stuffing enough burgers into their fat stupid faces ..now the Mother Nature will give the feedback, as the result of human's selfish behaviour
Anyone who 'respects Al Gore' the first 'Climate Change Billionaire' should be treated with great suspicion. Don't get your 'facts' about climate change from government - the very people who are going to TAX YOU TO DEATH because of their suspicious, agenda based data. There are just as many respected scientists who refute mainstream climate change stat's
As good as his plan sounds, I think people are too diverse and stubborn to come together to do this. Basically it will cost too much, no one will want to make a move due to the supposed risk, and we'll be fucked. Before the race dies off though there will be WW3 for the worlds resources.
His proposed energy crisis solution sounds good, but I imagine it would be prohibitively expensive to implement (kitting out virtually every single building in the world) and I would question whether you could actually realistically generate enough energy to meet our needs this way (for example consider the amount of energy consumed by industries, how many house-power plants would you need to run, say, just one factory like an ore refinery or car manufacturer?). Here's hoping I'm wrong.
He's doing a lot of mental gymnastics to prove his point about climate change. The fact is he has no evidence and not nearly enough reporting (as he said humans aren't that old) on climate change to prove any of this.
People like this are only concerned for their habitat and they think humans can change the planet. Like we are important enough to change it. Suffer the people
Seriously, please fuck off - global warming deniers are the dumbest, most retarded idiots on earth - just stupid, stupid, stupid people who do not understand the most basic fundamental principles.
The canadian tar sands have been strip mined for years mate - not sure where your getting your information from but keep up. its why the wanted to put in the trans american pipeline this year.
@audas I don't deny climate change. Global warmers are the dumbest people because they fail to see that there is a cycle to the planet and the solar system that is out of their stupid little hands. Please fuck off
Riiight, you've clearly never read a single thing on the issue - of course there are cycles - no one has ever denied this - ever, you are amongst the most stupid people on earth with your position, Lord Monkton claiming to be a lord with his goggle eyes and everyone laughing in his face at how retarded he is.
nothing screams "Im a fucking retarded monkey" more than being a global warming denialist - seriously embarrassingly stupid people.
@Xello998 Of course there are system's out of our control (solar and stellar cycles etc.), but we can't deny the fact that the climate is composed of compounding, chaotic, feedback loops. Think of it as the butterfly effect and carbon releases as the butterfly's wings. We should at the very least realize that fossil fuels are not viable for a high-tech, distributed society, and then commit to moving away from them. To say that it's "out of our hands" is not a constructive mentality.
@JonnyMataza It's not constructive to blame everything that's wrong with the weather on oil without any viable alternatives. Things like geothermal, solar and kinetic are only viable for small portions of the requirements today. As for thorium plants, even if they get these running they are still only covering what we get today with elite nuclear plants which aren't enough. This hype only lines the pockets of rich, save the environment, pricks who don't even care about the planet.
@Xello998 As you mention thorium, I found the site thoriumremix to be very interesting. As it is, I agree with everything you just said. Especially about the lining of pockets. But the reality is that oil is not sustainable for a hi-tech civilization. There's also no avoiding the fact that the planet is warming up, perhaps fatally. You're also right about elite energy not being a viable solution. Rifkin realizes this and addresses it when he talks about "distributed" systems.
@Xello998 If there are not direct alternatives, we should change or minds and change our requirements. And, he has his alternatives, his whole second part is about that. Or did you zapp away after 10 minutes?
The solution is a complete different mindset. Our, your, generation obviously can't do that. But, the upcoming can be able to do it.
This planet needs a radical depopulation. That's what the radical wealthy are hoping for. They are hoping for masses to dies off, by hook or by crook. They believe their money will insulate them from the violent global change. Can anyone deny that cold logic? Are we jealous that we won't be able to keep our bloodlines alive after the change?
@biggrigga Jeremy Rifkin is an economist. He's not a biologist. He's not a historian. Being an economist does not quialify him to make statements saying seven billion people will die, and the human species will vanish.
@FranciscoKGuerreiro Jeremy Rifkin should have a talk with The Venus Project. "Everyone at the same page." always seem a dangerous statement in this culture because they think its communism or socialism. Its really frustrading when you're talkin' about the problems Fresco and Rifkin are adressing here. This is no hippy bullshit. This shit is real and IT CAN BE SOLVED. But nooooo.... Profit is what is important...
This guy just won't get to the point: Get rid of the financial regime. Noone's going to care about their own extinction as long as they can make a buck out of it!
'third industrial revolution' wtf is that supposed to mean? even more industry?
DON'T TAKE HOLLAND AS AN EXAMPLE!! I live there (but i'm leaving), it's corrupt to its rotten bones. Human rights will be gone here within a few years, just like in america.
I really hope that people will chose nature over money some day. What Rifkin says should be announced all over the world. I hope people will stop being ignorant and will work on a better future.
This is the harsh truth and we should stop running away from it. The fact that all you guys here are listening to what he says is truly wonderful.
If you guys want to be in fucking denial suit your self. It aint gonna change the outcome. You are so deep in your ignorance and consuming that you fail do some basic thinking. Not accusing you. You don't know any better. Those in denial remind me of my mother in law. Her husband in dying out of cancer, all doctors say 3 months, all tests the same and yet she choose to believe a quack who has no credentials and claims her husband will be ok. Why? cause he sells hope.
even if what he says is not true, why not use renewable energy anyway? it is cheaper and more climate friendly our generations can even profit from it!! seems like a good idea to me :) for example right now a single household in australia can produce enough energy through solar energy harnessing to power itself plus sell at least 20% of said harnessed energy back to the grid at double the price/cost of creating it! in 5 to 10 years you are making money and not paying a single power bill :D
@T1Brit Scientific research you moran. Sediments. Didn't study geography I guess? For as far as the grasslands: watch the video again. People like you are the reason our great grandchildren will endure hell on earth.
@Pascalsmit1971 Floating ice packs do not leave sediments. I watched the video. I know that Jeremy Rifkind makes a lot of money giving these lectures - and the worse he paints it, the bigger his fees become.
You are one of the credulous little followers who will swallow every word be4cause you actually get a kick out if it. But you are too stupid to even use your own brain. Ice sheets float - and they grow and recede every year. Rifkind is talking out of his ass. And you just love it don't you
@T1Brit The people denying Rifkin's stories are making MUUUUCH more money then Rifkin does. Don't you understand? Any idea how powerful the oilindustry is?? OF COURSE his theories are being denied!!!! But by who? Who told you Rifkin is talking out of his ass? Did you investigate yourself? Or did you read it somewhere? Did you see it on Fox News?
If billions of people get to know Rifkins message, people will panic. People will stop consuming, or will be consuming less. To be continued.
@Pascalsmit1971 Nobody TOLD me. That is what I SEE. He talks about Arctic sea ice a million years ago - as if he had any idea what it was - he does not - NOBODY does. He makes a fortune selling books and making after dinner speeches to governments all over the world - that is a fuck sight more money than I make. Even if global temperatures rise 6 degrees - it's not the end of Humanity as he says. It's the end of Bangladesh and Somalia and Chad. Long live the new temperate zone of North Canada!
@T1Brit Part 2: And you are telling ME I don't use my own brain. Just look around you. See for yourself. What about the hurricanes? You see...if you would believe Rifkin, it would mean you'll have to cut down on your energy spending. Drive a smaller car. And a lot of people just prefer not to believe the stuff they don't WISH to believe, just for their own short-term luxury's. Those oil company's don't give a fucking shit about your great great grandchildren. Or DO THEY? To be continued
@T1Brit Part 3: If you distrust people that make a lot of money: distrust the oil-barons! THEY payed some institutes to come up with 'scientific proof' telling us that 'it's not that bad at all'. And so..yes, maybe Rifkin IS making a lot of money, but hey you know: HE IS TOO BUSY TELLING HIS STORY TO EVEN BEING ABLE TO SPEND IT!! You buy the lies of the oil-barons. Because you want to believe THEM. And pardon about the 'morAn'. I'm dutch, so no native english speaker. To be continued...
@T1Brit Part4: Even people who don't believe Rifkin can tell you the worldwide supplies of oil, gas and cole are NOT endless. We HAVE to cut down on our oilconsumption, otherwise we won't be able to make medicin as well. It's mostly the people with enough money to spend/ a big car / an old car that WISH not to believe Rifkin and shout out loud that he is lying. But please: go ahead if you'd rather believe the lies of the trillion dollar oil industry. They are VERY happy with people like you! ^^
@T1Brit part 5 : Oh and yes...ice sheets DO float yes. And they DO grow and reduce every year, yes, totally right. But we're not talking shrinkage, we are talking DISSAPEARANCE. And I know floating and melting icebergs won't increase sea-level. But land-ice like on Antarctica DOES. Furthermore: it's not sea level that's the problem: it's the ecologic system. WInds and streams will change, europe will freeze, USA will become a desert. But I understand you will move to siberia to become a farmer?
@romulusaugustulus476 it's just not gonna happen that way though. We're too busy "competing" with eachother for what's left, driving on war and corruption. Some people will get together and prepare us but the vast majority of us won't even acknowledge it as being a problem until way after it's knocked on our door to the point it's already in our house...
a distributed energy grid i can live with. it involves the principle of sharing for mutual benefit
distributed capitalism? wtf is that?? you distribute it and you milk the capital out of it? like you first milked the capital out of oil?.....whilst the people on the ground slaved their butts off to scrape an equilibrium of survival?
do you honestly believe humanity WANTS to live by capitalism any longer?
not the humanity im aware of, the humanity im aware of wants to shake capitalism altogether.
Your theory is flawed though, because there are no people getting cancer on a plant-based whole foods vegan diet. Check out Dr. McDougall's clinical 30 year work. He's cured every patient of cancer through a plant-based diet. I'm not trying to outright dismiss your claims. They just don't match reality.
Again: Humans are too stupid to save the planet, everything they do so far to correct this issue has very little forethought, makes it worse, and has no objective vision and a lot of political hate for this "mystical evil doer" who is never YOU. This "remember we are the good guys" is the mantra of evil.
@chase82 This guy is a lawyer; a person who's life is dedicated to conflict. That tell it all. Do you understand what a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean is?
People who are part of the revolution need to be educated on the true source of all the world's problem. There is nothing you can do within any system that uses any form of currency to immunise it from problems similar to what we face today. Google "Resource Based Economy", learn about and take part towards a system that puts human value (not monetary gain) first and recognises resource and energy as common heritage to all humans.

If you love animals and life so much, why are you killing off endangered species with wind turbines? "massive fiberglass blades on the more than 4,000 windmills have been chopping up tens of thousands of birds that fly into them, including golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, burrowing owls and other raptors." Save the planet and kill the birds?? WTF.
What is far worse than "global warming" is how humans are destroying their own genome from ignorance. You can't continue to allow the genetic degradation for much longer. There are over 4600 know genetic defects in humans and all people have genetic diseases. ALL. There is only genetic degradation shown in DNA evidence. Religious ideas of Evolution are archaic anti-science. DNA is absolute evidence that cannot be denied any longer. Humanity's constant ignorance is against its own species.
@GoodScienceForYou ". There are over 4600 know genetic defects in humans and all people have genetic diseases. ALL." You are a moron. You are uneducated, stupid, and full of your religious drivel.
@GoodScienceForYou Genes respond to environment. They do not predetermine disease. It is the environment that is producing disease in people, namely exposure to carcinogens.
@Godinme I am sorry, but genetic defects allow carcinogens to kill us. A normally healthy human (not many left on the planet) does not get cancer. The normal, healthy, immune system will destroy those cancer cells as soon as they are recognized. It is the genetic defects in immune cells that's the problem.
@GoodScienceForYou Sorry, but no. Having a cancer-associated genetic rick variant does NOT cause cancer. A gene variant is simply another risk factor. Cancer is multifactorial, with genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors interacting to cause disease. Furthermore, carcinogens directly damage DNA. Read The China Study and you'll find that animal protein is the most potent cancer promoter people consume.
@citizenOfNowhere777 Actually, the evolution of the associational cerebral cortex coincided with human use of language and not with the consumption of decaying animal flesh. Read your anthropology and neurophysiology. Eating meat did not make our brains bigger.
@citizenOfNowhere777 I have a tested IQ of 180 and I have not eaten meat for 42 years. So, your bullshit ideas are crap. Eating meat makes you stupid.
@GoodScienceForYou Your statement just shows how much you didn't understand what I said due to lack of information/knowledge. What I said was in reference to "evolutionary stage". I didn't say eating meat NOW. You wouldn't be having an IQ score of 180 had your ancestors (and mine and everyone else's) not eaten meat and that's a fact.
@citizenOfNowhere777 There have been many studies on vegetarians, and pure vegetarians. They have higher intelligence, more stamina, live longer, and have fewer health issues, and heal much faster than meat eaters.
This information is there for you to find, but it is not taught in public schools and in universities, because it opposes a huge industry and a huge addiction to meat. The human genome can process vegetation and produce any protean needed. Meat protean is tamasic.

@Godinme You are a blind moron. Even vegetarians get cancer. It is a genetic disease in which the immune system is weakened an can't kill the cancer cells. PERIOD. End of discussion.
@GoodScienceForYou Thanks for the ad hominum attack. Vegetarians get cancer too because dairy comes from an ANIMAL. The casein protein in dairy is the most powerful cancer promoter ever discovered. If you go on a Plant-Based Whole Foods Diet, you will never get cancer.
@Godinme Cancer is caused by genetic defects that allow cancer cells to grow. Cancer cells are a normal part of life, but in healthy humans (very few exist today), the immune system will seek and destroy any cancer cell.
You can live on any diet and get cancer if your genetics is weakened as most are.
There is nothing magical about this. Humanity did this to themselves ,by deeds, poor lifestyle, bad habits, and addictions. All work to degrade the human species.
@GoodScienceForYou If you look at the clinical research of Dr. John McDougall, you'll see that cancer is reversible through a plant-based diet. He's cured tens of thousands of people. I challenge you to find a vegan who has cancer.
@Godinme We were designed to deal with all sorts of environmental issues including cancer. Because of genetic degradation from mutations, there is a 1 in 1 chance that you have a genetic disorder. I have studied this longer than you have been on this planet, and I've witnessed people "cured" of cancer, by pure foods diet. Others don't respond because their immune system is defective. To kill cancer cells you must have an immune system that is operating 100%.
There is already research into helping the immune system of cancer patients with defective immune cells (caused by genetic degradation).
We are genetically degenerated from a condition of fitness to one of having a min of 4600 genetic defects found so far. There is no evolution towards more fitness. Once mutations take place, it is gone.
The fact is all the CO2 on this earth has been here for long before it became encapsulated in the earth as petroleum or any fossil fuel. It was in the air to begin with. The balance is vegetation needs CO2 and our planet needs more vegetation. The Natural turn of events is for this CO2 to come back and for vegetation to come back. This is not some deep dark "evil" matter from outer space, it is natural as life itself and not to be hated.
This guy has a "monster" in his head. He keeps fighting with some "monster" and that monster is his creation in his head. This short of thinking if "us the good vs them the bad" is the problem. Assholes make money from this ideological war and sell books on it, while the perpetuate hate.
The weather here in the UK has been awful. May, June, July, August and now September have been dreadful months, no Sun. The birds have disappeared and the rainfall has been unbelievable.
'What I would like to do, I would love to sit down with the prime minister, and its cabinet...'
hahahahaha !
They're all over 40, have no clue what you're talking about, they don't want to know. These are right oriented selfish capitalist with an unstoppable hunger for money and power. It is sad but true, it is not going to work in the era with Mark Stupid-grabber-for-the elite-Rutte.
I agree half with you, but the fact is that we don't know whether it really is the sun or us doing this. What we DO know is that with the old way we're going to pollute ourselves the hell off this planet
Rifkin assumes planet earth has no intelligence. He is mistaken.... he is underestimating the multidimensional aspects of Gaia and looking at issues from a 3D perspective.
Innovate - free energy will be the start to the next economic evolution. We have it, we just have to implement it. Tidal power to power the world. Hydrogen as an interim to replace fossil fuels to drive cars and aircraft. Climate will sort itself out if the above energy changes are set in place starting now.
I agree with everything he said but he forgot one important point. During the transitions of these energy-communication revolutions, there was invariably a bloody and protracted war. For example the American Civil war, the Punic wars and ohers.
CO2 is not a poison...nor is it the cause of Climate Change. Climate Change is a byproduct of a huge cycle that includes ALL the planets in our Solar System.
@Buai2 so in your opinion we can continue pulluting and consuming at the actual rythm without major consequences??? I don't undestand the point of view of a lot of people like you. Why shouldn't we take the opportunity of trying to develop our societies in a more sustainable way???
@fratelloDiKris You have made a statement that has zero connection to my remark, then you say you dont understand "people like me". Then you made another statement that has zero connection to my remark...and you want me to gratify them? Read my post, and do some scientific research. THEN connect all the dots (!)
@Buai2 maybe I misundestood you... sorry for that :-), I thought you meant that human activities has nothing to do with climate changes ... and what I meant is that everytime that someone talks about climate changes there are "people like you" who say that's not true, that what's happening is normal and natural and so on... with the consequences, I suppose, that nothing is really urgent to be done... ... ...or again... I don't get the sense of your remark...
@fratelloDiKris The bottom line is this, to me...CO2 is not pollution. Why is there no effort to banish the world of serious pollution that IS causing major problems to not only planet Earth, but us. Our air, our water, our food.
Climate change is happening all throughout our Solar System...what does that say to you?
@Buai2 we're just reproducing here on a small scale the endless discussions about whose fault is, who's bad and who's good, etc... the discussions that are necessary to deplace the problem and permit to the economic power of distroying the planet... no needs to continue it, I think... we agree... the situation is heavy and urgent and Rifkin is right: we have to do something now... or not?
@fratelloDiKris Absolutely, we should be doing something about the situation. The point Im making is this. If the issue is not CO2, then a whole bunch of wasted resources, pain and misguided enthusiasm can be avoided by really checking out all angles, and then perhaps we can get past this "us/them" stuff, and actually get on with doing the "real job of doing", as opposed to determining a "price" to actually keep on releasing... CO2. As if charging for "it's release" will alter the situation.
@fratelloDiKris If the CO2 science is SO undeniable.There would surly be some serious freaking out going on from everywhere, and there would be blood in the streets to get on with it. But the only seeming dire concern is the "price". That to me, is skewed and out of context to what you're arguing. which is "urgency".
Look, I have no intention of changing your mind, we dont see eye to eye, and thats fine by me. If I see solid support by Scientists in either direction, I always check it out.
Respond to this video... my point is: we have the opportunity to do something good for the planet anyway: let's do it without discussing 1000 years if it is our fault or something else fault, if the climate is changing... about scientific research... maybe you're a big expert I don't know, but about this kind of sensitive subject you will always find anything and all the opposite so I let the research to the experts... If again I said things with zero connection with the problem I apologise ;)

I believe, that our current 'Generation-Z', people born after the 1990, DO have this mindset and will take the necessary attitude when THEY are telling how the world should behave. They are well informed, have a incredible amount of information for themselves, have a lot more overview over the world then we (i'm 10 years older) ever had. I give all my hope and will free the path for those people to come. The glass is half-full.

As good as his plan sounds, I think people are too diverse and stubborn to come together to do this. Basically it will cost too much, no one will want to make a move due to the supposed risk, and we'll be fucked. Before the race dies off though there will be WW3 for the worlds resources.

His proposed energy crisis solution sounds good, but I imagine it would be prohibitively expensive to implement (kitting out virtually every single building in the world) and I would question whether you could actually realistically generate enough energy to meet our needs this way (for example consider the amount of energy consumed by industries, how many house-power plants would you need to run, say, just one factory like an ore refinery or car manufacturer?). Here's hoping I'm wrong.

He's doing a lot of mental gymnastics to prove his point about climate change. The fact is he has no evidence and not nearly enough reporting (as he said humans aren't that old) on climate change to prove any of this.
People like this are only concerned for their habitat and they think humans can change the planet. Like we are important enough to change it. Suffer the people

@Xello998 Of course there are system's out of our control (solar and stellar cycles etc.), but we can't deny the fact that the climate is composed of compounding, chaotic, feedback loops. Think of it as the butterfly effect and carbon releases as the butterfly's wings. We should at the very least realize that fossil fuels are not viable for a high-tech, distributed society, and then commit to moving away from them. To say that it's "out of our hands" is not a constructive mentality.

@JonnyMataza It's not constructive to blame everything that's wrong with the weather on oil without any viable alternatives. Things like geothermal, solar and kinetic are only viable for small portions of the requirements today. As for thorium plants, even if they get these running they are still only covering what we get today with elite nuclear plants which aren't enough. This hype only lines the pockets of rich, save the environment, pricks who don't even care about the planet.
Xello998 2 months ago
@Xello998 As you mention thorium, I found the site thoriumremix to be very interesting. As it is, I agree with everything you just said. Especially about the lining of pockets. But the reality is that oil is not sustainable for a hi-tech civilization. There's also no avoiding the fact that the planet is warming up, perhaps fatally. You're also right about elite energy not being a viable solution. Rifkin realizes this and addresses it when he talks about "distributed" systems.

@Buai2 maybe I misundestood you... sorry for that :-), I thought you meant that human activities has nothing to do with climate changes ... and what I meant is that everytime that someone talks about climate changes there are "people like you" who say that's not true, that what's happening is normal and natural and so on... with the consequences, I suppose, that nothing is really urgent to be done... ... ...or again... I don't get the sense of your remark...

@fratelloDiKris The bottom line is this, to me...CO2 is not pollution. Why is there no effort to banish the world of serious pollution that IS causing major problems to not only planet Earth, but us. Our air, our water, our food.
Climate change is happening all throughout our Solar System...what does that say to you?
The science is NOT settled here...period.

@Buai2 we're just reproducing here on a small scale the endless discussions about whose fault is, who's bad and who's good, etc... the discussions that are necessary to deplace the problem and permit to the economic power of distroying the planet... no needs to continue it, I think... we agree... the situation is heavy and urgent and Rifkin is right: we have to do something now... or not?

@fratelloDiKris Absolutely, we should be doing something about the situation. The point Im making is this. If the issue is not CO2, then a whole bunch of wasted resources, pain and misguided enthusiasm can be avoided by really checking out all angles, and then perhaps we can get past this "us/them" stuff, and actually get on with doing the "real job of doing", as opposed to determining a "price" to actually keep on releasing... CO2. As if charging for "it's release" will alter the situation.

@fratelloDiKris If the CO2 science is SO undeniable.There would surly be some serious freaking out going on from everywhere, and there would be blood in the streets to get on with it. But the only seeming dire concern is the "price". That to me, is skewed and out of context to what you're arguing. which is "urgency".
Look, I have no intention of changing your mind, we dont see eye to eye, and thats fine by me. If I see solid support by Scientists in either direction, I always check it out.

Respond to this video... my point is: we have the opportunity to do something good for the planet anyway: let's do it without discussing 1000 years if it is our fault or something else fault, if the climate is changing... about scientific research... maybe you're a big expert I don't know, but about this kind of sensitive subject you will always find anything and all the opposite so I let the research to the experts... If again I said things with zero connection with the problem I apologise ;)

Without the truth, there can be no real morality, justice, equality, success, freedom, love, security, peace, spirituality or even survival. To seek the truth, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says.
