  • Global warming is a fact. People this dumb shouldn't be allowed opinions.

  • @blahblah1234567818 no, your just mentally deficient.

  • Comment removed

  • Well Britain would freeze because the greenland icecaps would release thosands of cubic tonnes of cold freshwater into the sea. This would effectively ( CBA to go into but if you want ask and I will explain) Turn off or move the gulf stream. And if this happened then Britain would have basically the same climate as Moscow, and the knock on effects could cause a iceage in western Europe. This same event is what caused the last ice age. The great glaciers in America melted and had the same effect.

  • @1Sladman1 This could happen and that is because of the great temperature affecting properties of the ocean. If the ocean is warm then the land right beside that ocean is cold and if the ocean is cold then the land right beside that ocean is cold

  • Even if Global Warming isn't on the scale of what everyone is making it out to be and the earth is just making a cycle, the polar ice caps are still melting, and melting quickly, it's causing animals to become endangered and the sea level to rise, if they melt completely (and I'm not saying they will) then where I live (central Florida) won't be so central anymore, I'll be living on the beach, meaning many will die and we will have less land to live on. This needs to be prevented.

  • Even if Global Warming is NOT true, it is still a good idea to cut down on fossil fuel consumption only for the reason of preserving it for the future.

  • You're a visionary. This video nicely condenses most of my beliefs of the media, government and just about everything else into an awesome 8 minutes.

  • I agree with you, global warming is a huge scam! I also think that 998 out of 1000 people are hopelessly stupid and it is very depressing.

  • Global warming is a scam... Just think of it. "HEY WE ALL NEED TO STOP using (insert fosil fuel here) cuz the earth is heating up." Oh okay. So... We should save the world economy by easing out of fosil fuels? "NO.. well.. Yeah... Those oil bilionairs have much infulens. "Oh right okay. Lets stop using it. (Just to be clear, i know there cant be infinate oil in the ground. And just take a deep breath of the exaust then nah that cant be good for me.) Its not all bad its just to save their asses.

  • Just because the earth goes through a climate cycle doesn't mean it can be affected by humans. So that argument doesn't make any sense. A plant will go through a cycle: growing and losing leaves but that doesn't mean a person can't go and off all the leaves. Natural things are constantly being changed by people.

  • Phil Jones has admited no global warming since 1995.

    He admits to lying and the NEW guy that took over from him, now says Phil Jones is crazy.

    Phil Jones used to say that..

  • read somewhere its universal warming not just earth its all about money and gullible people

  • sorry i replied before i watched the whole video. apologies

  • but in the end, if we burn less fossil fuel, recycle more, create new technologies (green energyetc) etcetc, whats to complain about?

    its really not that much of an effort to contribute even if gw isn't real for a normal person, and it can lead to alotta good

  • There are many conspiracies that are worth listening to but the people that are actively concerned with global warming i assure you, pay little attention to the papers, thats not the best source of real news.

  • Hilarious!!

    Your video contradict themselves.

    What a prick.

  • Where is the contradiction?

  • videos*

    all over the shop;

    You believe in life out there (crop circles) but tarot reading and higher consciousness is out of the question, 'Dont believe the media' you tell your friends yet you base your anti-squatting rant largely on what the papers told you. (global warming is a scam); Climate change and Global warming is not an environmental issue, its a capitalist one.

  • You're not listening.

  • Good video. Glad to see someone still has some common sense. The Earth is 5 billion years old. We have been keeping weather records for 150 years. So all of a sudden we can tell the difference in natural weather patterns and something that is caused by man? Lol. Oh but the polar ice caps are melting! Yes, because we are at the end of an ice age! The glaciers that covered most of the earth melted millions of years ago. Was that caused by man? People are so stupid. that is the danger.

  • the biggest problem with global warming theory is that its effects are SOLELY based on computer models. Nothing else.

    The problem with this is that not a single one of the published computer models predicted that there would be zero global warming over the past decade.

    ALL of the models got it wrong.

    This means you have to toss out the models. You can NOT use them. To continue to use failed models is simply not allowed in science.

  • yeah every one says hey save the earth Blah blah the earth will still be here it doesnt need us (humans) we just live on it what they need to say is save the humans

  • I agree with alot of what you are saying, i believe the worlds temperatures will change whatever we do but i think we are speeding that process up. we've turned into a throwaway society, no one repairs anything anymore, stuff is just replaced, i think its a good thing to try and conserve the planet so that our children can have as good of a life as we have. Keep up the good work sven, just subscribed to you after watching mordeths uk series.

  • I don't think we're speeding it up that much at all, do you know how much green house gasses a super volcano emits from a single explosion? More greenhouse gasses than we as a human race have ever emitted, and that's a natural occurence.

  • I also think you're mostly right with thise video. It is just a big sham, like you said all it takes is some research, which most people aren't willing to do correctly or at all.

  • I watch your spykee and rovio vidioes there cool but this was a bad vid soz.

  • no its good, he has a good lecture voice

  • Maybe you should monitor the weather channels for a few weeks..

  • To see what? The coldest winter in sometime for some people?

  • Global Warming may or may not be true. But Global climate change due to industrialization is true. Whether it is only affecting the natural change in climate a little or a lot. Extra carbon dioxide, methane and Sulphuric acid and many more chemicals are being released into the atmosphere. These chemicals being being released into the atmosphere act as insulation causing UV radiation to be trapped in the atmosphere after it has entered. It may not affect temperature but it will affect climate.

  • You aren't scientist and climate change is way beyond common people understanding (really).

  • haha you're talking about mordeth and his theories. ye he is preety skeptical about all governments. lege though :) Hey what do you do? do you run you're own business? coz you seem to be minted with all yur bikes n gadgets. oh yeah n its good to see some people with intelect rather than being spoon fed information from the government and media.

  • I too have seen the video..... and yes, no fact.

    Global warming, just like religeon is BS

    Peace

  • watch my video: Global Warming...it has real facts

  • I watched your videos. I didn't see any facts at all, well one statement at the end not backed up by anything. And even if gw is true I'd argue *that* fact...

    :)

  • Thank you for saying what I've been thinking.

    NASA, here in the US had to redo it's calculations on global temps when a student at MIT realized they got it wrong. The warmest average temp happened in the 1930's when the central states were nothing but a big dust bowl. AND, Antarctica, one of the coldest places on Earth, used to be tropical. Of course the temp is changing. Nothing any one does can change that. Unless you want to blame "God". And don't get me started on that crap. Thanks Sven

  • The total taxes for fuel at the pump in the UK is 71.5%.

  • Global Warming is a lie.

    I want to believe in it though. England is TOO BLOODY COLD! Yet I STILL want to ride!

  • I dont believ that the london bombing were set up... but if youv seen the movie loose change, it becomes pretty obvious that it was possible that the US blew up the twin towers after the plane crashed into it. The charges were planted a few days beforehand. Im not sure about the whole moon thing, i mean, I agree its possible and it was the cold war and competition witht the USSR, but its unlikely.

  • Compare lots of real demolitions to 9/11. You'll notice one difference. NOISE. Demolitions are noisy, boom, boom, boom, boom. The charges need to go off, then xx seconds later the building falls.

    Russia would have taken any excuse to dispell the USA landings. They didn't because....their scientists agree the US did it.

  • Thats a good point, but theres a load of other circumstantial evidence that adds up. Its an entertaining idea. Its actually carried on in this theory (I dont know if youv heard it or not) that the pentagon wasn't damaged by a aeroplane but was also blown up - theres a lot more evidence behind that one. Isn't speculation fun

  • I'm not sure it is when your speculation has to be accountable to 3,000+ bereaved families :)

    The facts are....just that.

  • never fucken belived this like 900 years ago it was as warm as today it that was a very rich time apprentaly and i doubt we cud fucken do that to the earth its like sayin ants r gonna take over the world

  • FINALLY someone's come out and said it! Awesome video!

  • Personally I have to say that: the media, government and industries all have nothing to gain from global warming. In fact their is no industry really to gain from global warming, but their is ALOT to gain from negating all accusations of global warming. Governments, well some governments are being forced to drop huge amounts of money on different recycling programs, on opening new power plants to close older polluting ones, if they don't ask for extra money they will go bankrupt - Ergo. the USA

  • Some crackpots video lol

  • ok ! we know it's a scam , but what can we do?

  • All that Global warming is BS . Its true with Ice Age , but look , 10.000 years before J.C The Mediterranean sea didn't exist . It came because of "global waring" which is a normal process of the earth , but 10.000 years before J.C did the human being have the "bad" cars and the industries ? No! its just to make some money for the Government by raising taxes.

  • You look scary in the dark. 8-|

    I don't believe global warming either... I believe it's a money grabbing scheme.

  • Sven's ears move alot when he talks....lol

  • Hey, tubingblaster....Should'nt you be in class now? Try going to school, it might help you, That or therapy!

  • Hey, tubingblaster... please explain "you should try getting your head stuck out of your ass"? My reality is you need to go back to class and learn how to write your english profanities properly first. Remember what the teacher said tou you last week...always use a pencil first...

  • nice, you just owned yourself...great job rofl

  • If CO2 and methane are dangerous for world then it's the people and animals that causes global warming, not cars/motorcycles or industrial. Every time you breath you release CO2, every time you fart you release small amount of methane. So only and best way to reduce global warming is to reduce amount of people with limits of getting pregnant and birthing childs.

  • So I agree that human made global warming is 100% rubbish. It's only big cheat and reason to get more money from all the people.

  • in regards to the intro, there could be a human impact with regards to green house gasses in medeavil times. im not sure on the actual statistics but something like 8% of gasses come from live stock, and the population of these animals massively exceeds what it would naturally be due to the human need for them... just a point to think about

  • Have you ever heard Johnny Ball's view. He explains it, nicely, as rubbish. I watched him on the News recently in debate with some eco suit that was banging on about the whole world being doomed and wind turbines were the future. JB said to the guy that wind turbines could indeed power the earth but the wind pull would also rotate the earth on it's axis bringing forward a new ice age. The eco suit looked really sheepish & said "really". JB then said NO but you guys i'll believe anything! lol

  • LOL I haven't seen it. But it sounds like I'd enjoy it.

  • liked the view on how the masses go along with what they get told by media and gov sects and religon etc clasic example the moon landing real or fake?... it was filmed in area 51 and slowed down in frame rate to look like weightlessness then aired on national tv and everyone saw it as truth because of tv. even now 2008 all they do is shuttle up into orbit. thats it? they dont go any further?...why?they cant!!radiation will destroy them.they shoud point hubble2 at the moon,i bet they wont lol

  • I'm a bit of a space geek. The moon landings aren't fake.

    Pointing hubble at the moon also wont help, it's not powerful enough (even though it can peer into far off galaxies).

    I've exhaustively researched this and my opinion is the moon landings are true.

  • From what I understand most of the experts in these fields say the landings are indeed true, I'll open my mind further if you can find evidence to the contrary. None of the common arguments I've looked into hold any weight.

  • I think it's great that you've put this up. The bigger the subject the less enquiry people make,and the more likely and willing they are to be influenced by the most persistant/fashionable spin, it frees the mind for more important things like the colour & intimate specification of their car or home cinema system etc.

  • I also don't believe in this alarmist global warming crap. My main reason? Water vapour. It's a much more important greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Frankly CO2's influence over the climate is nothing compared to the power of humble old H2O.

    It also pisses me off to see everybody attributing bad weather to global warming. "Oh crap, a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico!? It's obviously global warming!"

    I wouldn't be surprised if people blamed the recent UK snowfall on global warming.

  • I don't believe in the whole Human Based Global Warming either. It's nature.

  • i believe in cod if that helps...

  • Specifically what would you like me to think? A plane crashed into the towers and they collapsed. Not much more to say?

  • Of course the earth goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling, but it would be plain ignorant to assume that humans do not influence those cycles in some form. We may not be the sole cause of a Global Warming phenomenon but we definitely contribute to the process in some way with everything that we pump into the environment. So Yes there is a cycle, but there wasn't all these chemicals we put into the atmosphere that we have these days. So yes, we are altering the natural cycles.

  • You would have to agree with me that humans have drastically altered the globe yes? We've cut down rainforests,drained lakes and streams dry...so to say that everything we are doing to the earth does not alter the natural cycles in some way is ignorant. Are the the cause that the globs is warming, maybe not. As you said there is documented proof that happens, but I fully believe that humans could be speeding up the process a bit.

    Sorry for the rant =/.

  • I could easily see weight in arguments that us puny humans could not possibly change the climate of the earth. I could also find weight in arguments to the contrary. I wouldn't find either hard to beleive. The world is incomprehensibly big, in the scheme of the world/universe we are absolutely nothing.

  • The bottom line is, regardless of what I or anyone else says: scientists DO agree that the earth is getting warmer. so there is warming of the globe.

  • Wow 10 points for not quoting fully.

    "The bottom line is, regardless of what I or anyone else says: scientists DO agree that the earth is getting warmer. However they DO NOT (all) agree this is because of human influence/co2/the greenhouse effect. Anyone who says otherwise is a bare faced liar."

    I said there is a warming of the globe in the video, yes, this is true. But it's happened before, long before industrialisation.

  • you learn this in primary school, but yes I agree that global warming caused by humans is a scam, on the other hand the ozone damage is not! X_X

  • i agree with you

  • See my video entitled "Do you worship a masturbating hippo?"

  • Sven, I'm a true fan of your vid's, and i really agree with most of what you say. But seriously, the view you have really set me off. Global warming may be just nonsense. This however, does not mean that we should carelessly blow enormous amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse-gasses into the atmosphere.

    The ocean btw, doesn't release CO2. It releases vaporized water.

    This is probably the first time I've disagreed with you sven, and the first time I'll give you 4/5 stars ;)

  • Then you've missed my point. I'm NOT saying we shouldn't be watching our co2 output. I'm not saying lowering our emissions is a bad thing at all (or recycling etc).

    You're more than welcome to disagree with me.

    I have kids, therefore I have more of a valid reason than some to care about this planet and the affect it might have on the future.

    On your second point you must know something the websites, people, and documentaries I'm hearing don't? Could you cite your resource?

  • You see sven, CO2 is released whenever carbon is oxidized. In plain english: Whenever something that contains carbon, C, (Plants, animals, remains of these etc.) burns. This also applies to oil, coal and other fossil fuels which are in fact almost pure Carbon. Really basic chemistry, but I see from other comments that chemistry is not your hobby. On the other hand, vaporized water is in fact a more important greenhouse-gas that CO2. The last one there is something sceptics use as an argument.

  • As I asked, could you cite your resource?

  • Oh jesus lord the sacred holy thingy (i knew that would make you really annoyed)! Seems i misunderstood some of what you said.. The oceans surely release CO2, but the vaporized water it releases is much more important to the greenhouse-effect. Sorry!

  • don't oceans store carbon in sedimentary rock on the sea bed in between metamorphic rock layers?  I'm not sure the sea releases CO2 magically :s

    and if you say fish respiring i'm gunna giv u such a slapping 'cause the rate at which fish respire it 40% less efficient than human respiration.

  • HAHA. not.

  • There ya go Sven. Good vlog :)

  • I gotta say Sven, you made one hell of a point actually. I might just look into this ordeal, I find it pretty interesting...

  • Cool video.

    Can you move your hand away from your mouth in future vids? :D

    x

  • The night vision mode made any ugly bugger more palletable. But it also enhances a large calcium blemish on my front tooth, which I dislike.

  • yeah it was going to happen anyway , but we have helped by accelerating it mostly with choppin down trees we have had a 20% impact but i think its stupid to try prevent it as its unreversable what we are doing is trying to slow it down so our children or there children will have to suffer it how sick is that,,,,i know its christmas and things but i say lets nuke antartica with everthing we have,will stop it melting then and we can face it properly

  • It is good that you are doing your own research, but your conclusion is based on false premises. Look up 'green house effect' online and you will see that the mechanism that causes global warming is not so hard to believe. It is important that humans stop putting carbon in the atmosphere because it is a real threat to the nature's balance. pm me if you are interested in learning more about this subject.

  • This is my point, I have and I don't believe it. I'm always interested in keeping an open mind and learning more about any subject.

  • I agree with you 100% The earth changes every few thousand years. Massive earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons and cold snaps...it just happens. Earth is a living organism packed into a sphere, the world changes!

    Great vid man!

  • Global warming probbably is an actual phenomenon. It probbably IS happening as they describe, but only to around 15-25% of the amount of "OMG WE'RE GUNNA ALL MELT AND DIE IN 100 YEARSZ0RZ!11!". So that's bull.

    But that's a very squeeky chair!

    But it's refreshing to see someone who actually makes their own opinion from their own reading. :)

  • back then englandwas very hot (enough even for vinyards) but unfortunatly this was only because back then english ppl where really horny and had more sex than now, friction translates to heat so...  thats that

  • 2 years ago i wrote on my book how annoyed im that people believe anything what they hear. finally somebody agrees with me. what a relieve that im not the only one.

  • I was thinking this same thing yesterday. Kind of funny how the video was posted about the same time.

  • "that" TV program? I haven't seen anything recently?

  • Haha, I'm so confused. Oh well.

  • Couldn't have said it better myself Steve. Massive scam, I assume you also watched that TV program aswell?

  • *that* tv program?

  • yes!! someone else agrees too!! Global Warming + Al Gore = BS :D

  • I'm not saying global is not warming, but some ppl blame using cars is the reason it's warming is crap. CO2 is not produced only by cars, think about it. trees, animals, ppl. so, it's warming up, just don't blame using cars.

  • Trees create CO2? lol

  • course it does. when there's no light, they consume energy and produce CO2.

    when there is light, they produces oxygen.

  • umm.. yup, at night.. no light, no energy to make photosynthesis... any doubt? reply my comment then hehe :D

  • lol.. trees take in CO2 and release Oxygen lol

  • only when there is light.

  • They survive by creating energy through photosynthesis in light (which releases oxygen) and creating food through respiration in the dark (which is what you and I do, and releases CO2)

    In a 12 hour light 12 hour dark situation, they create more oxygen than CO2.

  • photosynthesis creates much more energy and O2 than respiration creates energy and CO2.

  • FFS, go to wikipedia, it's not that hard.

  • I love you sven.

  • Wow, my respect for you just plummeted. What ever happened to "I don't agree with your opinion, but I respect your right to hold it"?

  • To clarify, I don't mind that you disagree. I understood making this video that many wouldn't agree. However if you want to /add/ something to the discussion go ahead. But comments like this aren't appreciated. For the record I'm an affluent (although largely uneducated) person, and unlike the majority of my generation I read the Times. :-)

  • Not everyone who believes, as I do that 90% of global warming is caused by human activity is stupid or takes things on face value. I am certainly not able to make that judgement by having a 2/1 in physics. I needed to read up on the subject. I recommend the IPCC reports, to start with. The interesting areas of debate around this issue have long since moved on from the stuff covered in this video and those who still argue against the primacy of human activity do so for non-scientific reasons.

  • I'm not claiming to be an expert. I admit I'm uneducated. In the 70's the experts and the media were all running around (as they are now) about another ice age happening...This week it's global warming.

    I cannot fully understand any of the real arguments for or against, but that's irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion anyway.

    All I'm saying is there's LOTS of historical evidence that the earth's climate has changed drastically on it's own in the past. So, why not now?

  • Another thought I had today. 9 years ago everyone was banging on about the millennium bug. Remember the hype? You see, far down a hateful path - but that is one sided! I'm easy going :)

    I look forward to 10 years passing and coming back and saying "I told you so". I invite you to that same opportunity. As I mentioned before it was less than 10 years ago the papers were full of a global ice age - which is it?

    Happy New year, it's hard to sound genuine with black and white...

  • Scientists are sometimes wrong but the link between human activity and climate change is as sure as the link between smoking and lung cancer; surer for me as I have read a great deal about the latter. It might me a good idea if you did some serious research (that means reading books) on the subject yourself but you also need what Orwell referred to as the ability to face unpleasant fact; ie moral honesty. I wish you, the homeless and everyone a very happy new year.

  • errr... I meant the former. and 'It might be...'.

  • So we are in agreement. Scientists can be (and have been) wrong. That's all I'm saying, they don't (all) agree that we're causing the earth to warm...Neither do I (and a lot of other folk commenting it seems!)

    That's it in a nutshell :)

  • 'Scientists' includes sociologists and those advising chocolate bar manufacturers etc. You need to read climatologists. I hope the argument was never about the fallibility of human (scientists clearly included, as a sub category of human!) judgement - about which there can be know doubt. There is no one who knows about this area who would agree with you. And really... it's not a popularity contest. But it does not really matter what either of us think; Much more important Obama MIGHT act.

  • Too few words are allowed here. Of course there are some people (who should be shot) who know about this who would agree with you - 'scientists' employed by the oil companies. And, by the way, I do not think America, under a new president, will do anything like enough, particularly given present circumstances.

  • "There is no one who knows about this area who would agree with you" - that's simply not true IIRC. But either way I'd rather agree to disagree. I could be wrong, there's a first time for everything ;-)

    You cannot disagree that those in power can (and do imo) use this as a convenient excuse for nefarious purposes?

    All else aside I've seen great arguments for both sides. I'm not dismissing either, and all I'm saying is you shouldn't either.

  • I keep an open mind until it is closed by knowledge. Those in power have been dragged to a recognition of the truth, against there will and financial interest (see Bush and the Republicans more generally) by the evidence. I just think you need to read up on this. Amazon helps.

  • ... and, by the way, what is needed now, and what I hope to see from Obama, is for climate change reduction measures to be used as a force of economic regeneration.

  • either way you claim one oppinion. wether you say yes its true or no its not true, thats an oppinion. to state that scientists can be wrong does not change anything. You can be wrong to. The question is wether you want to take the risk. I don't. I don't "believe" in it. Theres enough evidence for ME to think that its very likely to be connected to our lifestyle.

  • I believe global warming is true, but naturally. I think man is just speeding it up. But if it's real or not, like svengalie said. We still should recycle, and reduce CO2 emissions. We need to cut back on our waste. Earth is only so big, it can not support everyone, let alone everyone in 50 years. Most of our problems would go away if we just "controlled" the population.

  • Studies show that 11.3% of global warming is caused by fat Americans farts. belee dat! I do know that it's December 2nd and we STILL do not have snow here in Tahoe!!!!!!

  • Everything the news, and government says is true! The government told me!

    I'm joking of course!

  • This video is about how man-made global warming might be false. Global warming could be caused by nature, or could be caused by mankind.

    As for an informed decisions, the overwhelming vast majority of the scientific community believes that climate change/global change. The majority believes that it is caused mainly by man, with a good number believing it is not.

    Sure, the hype-media and plenty of liberals are using it as their pet issue...but we shouldn't discuss the possibility completely.

  • People are lazy, that's a sad fact about people. They get on with their lives and tend to believe the talking points and headlines just to have something to whine about in the pub.

    It is sad, but, eh, the few of us that do our own research can always try to go against the mainstream.

    The Government likes to jump on bandwagons which they think will get Money, and backing from the public, the public will believe shit, and scream for the gvt to do something and yeah.

    Good video Sven.

  • our gcse science teacher said that since the world created it has had cold and warm spots over a few hundreds of years, which basicaly means atm were in a cold spot. which HAS happned a few hundred other times since the world was created. so whats to say that this time its gonna suddenly end.

  • interesting

  • I'm a bit skeptical about "A new ice age"

    EXAGERATION !!

    The world naturally changes, its a fact

  • wooo first comment. =D i think if it is appenin then its kinda a good think. tis freezin in the uk aint it m8? :)

  • It's going to get much colder in the UK. The gulf stream is keeping us warm right now. That's going to stop dead. If you want to know what it's going to be like, imagine Canada. That's on the same latitude as the UK.

  • not being dim but. does that mean we gonna get a decent amout of snow this christmas?.

  • lol

  • Thats what I understood, with the melting ice pushing its flow south. But where's the heat comming from to melt the ice? ....Climate has changed in reletively recent history,there used to be ice markets on the thames. Whether or not we believe any ones' thesis on this, the control of pollution can only be good.
