YouTube Debate: What will you do to stop global warming?

[readme60]

Global Warming is a scam.

[Akesson1986]

He is so right!

[jamspooge86]

buckywtf what are you smoking? The Earths carbon carrying capacity is estimated to be 4-4.5 gigatonnes per annum and humanity every year since 1970 has equalled or exceeded that total and as of right now we're at 6-6.5 gigatonnes per annum.. leaves oine to wonder where the other carbon is going to go/do lastly-wouldnt you rather be safe than sorry?

[PainTrain87]

Will you state the theory of global warming please?

[cowinyourface]

The 'Global Warming' concept to brain wash people into accepting 'humans are to blame' is a hoax. Taken from Club of Rome report in 1991:

'..It would seem that [we]] need a common motivation..adversary, to organize and act together..The need for enemieseither real or one INVENTED..

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. The real enemy then is humanity itself.

[chrisflvs442]

where are the facts behind these accusations?

[buckywtf]

Since when is CO2 a bad thing, it's natural, it's been around alot fucking longer than we have. Humans can't come close to putting out as much CO2 as the worlds volcanoes. So what if the world is heating up, it's natural. It's been alot warmer in the past....unless you believe Al Gore's bullshit. The earth is fine....the earth isn't going anywhere......we are. We will probably go down as the only species to terminate itself...and we're supposed the most intelligent species

[omfg567]

Everyones going to believe you...Because your more trustworthy then scientific fact..

[cronin098]

Well he's right. If we didn't take out so many fucking trees (acres for one Sunday's New Yorker), we probably wouldn't have a problem with running out of oxygen. Of course, money such a huge factor that the good people at the New Yorker are willing to risk our survival. Obviously, it's more than just the New Yorker, but I'm listing one example along with taking cutting down forests for cities and wasting paper in whatever other way.

[detachment345]

Global warming is a myth

[MTGunNut]

myth? Myth?!?!

Its a flat out lie!

[detachment345]

i know!!!Did you know that the vikings would grow crops and cattle in greenland, now it is freezing. It actually got colder. People who believe in global warming are to eager to believe the destruction of the world

[cowinyourface]

Some one ie: angryaussie coogiez youtube nazi is spamming your comments, when it is NOT spam. Apparently this 'angry aussie' has over 9 YT accounts he 'mass spams' people from... be warned that they have YT nazi's out there trying to brain wash people into believing Global Warming is somehow 'real' and that humans are the problem!! Don't these nuts read the CLUB OF ROME reports !!

[ScottMcSanchez]

That's why the ice cubes in my drink sink right to the bottom...

Oh wait, NO THEY DON'T. Take some chemistry, ice is less dense than water. If it wasn't, all ocean life would die every winter.

[Oxbloodred]

Well said janjop...I think he'd be great teamed up with Ron Paul...

We really need to wake up..

[janjop31]

America is far too stupid to elect a man like Kucinich. He's right on target with energy. New technologies don't need to magically appear.

[louis12346]

· The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr. Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.

· The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age: the Claimant's evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.

[jamspooge86]

and you have that wrong about the Gulf Stream stopping-what he said was the Gulf Stream due to the changing densities of water and other factors reversing course and possibly dramatically altering regional climates

[louis12346]

NewsAccording to the new data published by NASA, 1998 is no longer the hottest year ever. 1934 is.

Four of the top 10 years of US CONUS high temperature deviations are now from the 1930s: 1934, 1931, 1938 and 1939, while only 3 of the top 10 are from the last 10 years (1998, 2006, 1999). Several years (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) fell well down the leaderboard, behind even 1900

[alwaysopen]

do you do a bong hit every hour so that you will retain this rhetoric?

The water is on the planet already and there are no reserves on the way. the surface of this planet is actually more than 75% water and we only see the tip of it. There is not enough water to flood unless you believe the fear factor being thrust upon you.

[alwaysopen]

Google $500,000,000,000.00

[tevonx]

Yea, right. Dems answering snowmen show just how foolish they are.

[somuch4freedom]

no, it just shows how in touch democrats are with regular people, unlike the republicans who only support the higher class.

[JadeDragon007]

As the amount of hot gas/air arise form the exhaust of motor vehicles and factories, the earth temperature will increase, melting away the ice of the polar axises, thus increase the amount of water in liquid form and FLOOD ALL COASTAL AREA!

[alwaysopen]

DrugDragon...Where does all of this supposed excess water come from? If you are in a backyard pool measuring 60'x 30' and 500 lbs of ice are dropped into each end, will it flood over?

What if 10 100 lb people jumped in instead?

Where does all of the imaginary water come from?

[nonobviousness]

If it's a war for oil, why did prices go up? These people are running for President? Liberals think that if they just fund the right research, a magic power source will appear. Let the market take care of it.

[dabigkid]

Well at least Kucinich didn't say methanol. And alwaysopen, as much as I hate Al Gore and the global warming scare, those are some silly arguments for the defense against it.

[alwaysopen]

If people would actually read the material it is clear that this is not an argument against Gore's scare but the severities of it. I argue against flooding, for a source of alternative energy that is written off as well as the use of micro automobiles. Can you do any better?

[dabigkid]

Yes.

[alwaysopen]

You talk a big game fuckface, walk the walk.

Let's see your BIG ideas that don't mirror the back of the scrotum you are massaging.

[dabigkid]

Nah, too lazy. Ask me next year, or make a better argument so I can finally agree with it.

[alwaysopen]

Lazy isn't the word I would use. Thoughtless maybe, but I think you like to let the buzzword fools lead you around while you nod absentmindedly.

I don't want agreements - start with some creative input. All you do is nod or shake in disagreement.

[dabigkid]

Thoughtless, bah.

[jdanklefsen]

Since when is massaging a scrotum a crime? Personally, I enjoy a nice scrotum massage in the evening.

[SpIinters]

wow you missed the best part where he asked how many flew in private jets to the debate

[alwaysopen]

4. As far as gasoline consumption...why do we go there when the majority of America is clinging to monster SUVs that guzzle gasoline? That is the same contingent that claims fear to ride in small cars for chance of death. Slow down. Daimler-Benz manufactures the Smart car readily available in Europe. The standard two seat model gets 40-50 mpg and is ideal for large cities such as DC. Traffic is heavy and gas is ~$3. The oil companies cannot be made to lower prices but we can use less.

[alwaysopen]

3. The sun is absolutely free - the research and development of photo-voltaic technology has to be stepped up, at the chagrin of the oil companies, so that every structure - home or commercial - is able to produce electricity for storage or to sell back to the utilities on the grids. Windmill technology is ancient when compared to solar power. Every home could be somewhat self sufficient if the research were to start now.

[nonobviousness]

Wind power is solar power. It's the sun, causing heating that causes the air to move. This kind of ignorance is what is wrong with this country.

[alwaysopen]

WINDMILL=WIND dumbass. I specifically pointed out PHOTO-VOLTAIC CELLS. That is two entirely different trains of thought.

If the sun is responsible for air moving and creating winds most wave action on the seas is solar based. Tap into that numbnutz.

[alwaysopen]

2. The sun is responsible for warming of the planet and we just happen to be in a part of history to see the swing towards warm rather than the Victorian era blizzards. They talk back and forth about energy solutions but the most obvious to me is to harness the sun.

[alwaysopen]

1. Al Gore is nothing more than a cheerleader for a cause that is popular for no reason. Its a slogan - "Global Warming" - and a rallying point for those in the democratic party to cling to. If all of the ice on the surface of the planet melted how much could it add to a planet that's 75-80% surface water to begin with? The mentioning of losing coastline is absurd. Where are the republicans going to procure that much water so as to flood the earth's surface?

[louis12346]

Do more than change dam light bulb, We need BIG UN Carbon Tax higher gas prices Like Senator Dodd says We must Outlaw as a Felony all air conditioners and outside patio Heaters Stop warming now save mother earth peace out !

[natotheone]

If we're saving the planet why not just plant enough trees and other plants to handle carbon dioxide conversion. I wonder why I've never heard this mentioned. Instead of banning the stuff that causes it why not make each person or company responsible for planting enough to convert all the emissions they cause.

[FromBoomTown]

I guess it's the oil factor.

[seanf4i]

i swear to god i just saw that man's hair try to wag a tail or something. I think it got all excited, but struggled behind the... hairspray?

if nothing else, he's a funny one to watch.

[jsilva8869]

The ice is melting. Research also says that over a hundred years ago it was hotter. Research also says that it is 3 degrees hotter on mars than many years ago. Don't be confused people. Its a huge plan invented for money and politics. Pollution is bad, lets do all we can to be better. Energy needs to be conserved. Lets do that. Lets not make this a huge debate. I live in California and they say a cows farts are more harmful than a vehicle in a year. Insanity

[brbruner]

The Nordic Eric the Read was exiled from his home country. He headed West 1,000 years ago where he ran into Greenland. A large part of this island was suitable for farming and the Nordics lived there for nearly 500 years when the islands whether turned it into a frozen tundra and it still is today. To understand the present you have to know the past. The only thing we're doing is making the air quality poor. Changing the weather all together No way.

[kgbahma]

the question should have been, "What will you do to prove global warming?" I support getting of the reliance of oil but not because of global warming.

[12math89]

how can you still believe that global warming doesn't exist!!? i mean come on look at all the evidence supporting it. look at how much CO2 is in the air now compared to 30 years ago.

just watch al gore's An Inconvenient Truth and then talk to me

[oscarbeenit]

Don't get so freaked out, Al Gore isn't a scientist, and the only scientists that back his theroy, are the ones who don't want to lose their government research grants. Go to video dot google dot com, and watch The Great Global Warming Swindle.

[badluck13b]

PT.1 tons of new aquatic life have been discovered in polar regions of the earth with that some animals are turning up endangered because of the new alternated ecosystem and ice melts that's been pending, the measurements of the antarctic and its density is questionably low.

[badluck13b]

PT.2 changes in weather patterns are greatly affected, in America its almost quite too too much often that you in the news a surprising weather (and i should know based on experience for i live in California) conditions, sometimes the temperature becomes very very high or sometimes too low, which means climate shifts are affected so does geographic lands of ideals of known temperatures are not in their average as some lands are >>cont.

[badluck13b]

PT.3 too high via temperature in comparison of their average temperature from the past. also many people are turning up with various even different types of skin cancers in a hight rate, but this is not just because of the sun alone, its also because of negligence of people and population inflation but the sun also does have a huge significance in these factors,

[badluck13b]

PT.4 also some parts in tropic are having a different variations in trees decline and inclines because of the weather changes and tree adaptability in certain temperatures...

[badluck13b]

PT.5 in conclusion climate shifts are inevitable and the planet may seem to stay in a "stable" average weather, but in reality this is not permanent and weather changes are natural, and we already had ice age,thats just many examples of of changes of planet in a dramatic way, but the change can just be surprisingly within decades and not even centuries (scary) so global warming does exist and evidences are everywhere

[GtrGeorge]

louis...your joke is not funny. Noone in the green camp thinks that way. You must be drinking the GOP Kool-aid.

[mistaspot1]

Kucinich makes an excellent point. All this talk about Iran is about oil. Nothing else. Period. Iran poses no real threat to anyone in the world, especially us, on the other side of the planet....

[breaks0]

Save the snowmen and women. Oppose global warming and warring by reducing the nation's reliance on oil! Support the Kucinich WGA and stop using war as instrument of policy. Kucinch 08!

[CityzenJane]

I like the WGA idea-- the Apollo Alliance is all about that.

[louis12346]

YES PLEASE big carbon global warming carbon Tax,genocide in Dafar Sudan is solving part of the problem G-W is your fault, Do more than change a dam light bulb- Its a problem lets fix it by Shut off all electric 6 days a week- only turn water on city for 1 hour a day- We have to SAVE the EARTH, ride bikes outlaw driving except for green politicians, 1 gallon of gas a day - mandatory jail think live green- BIG Carbon Tax on everyone vote Al Gore

[burningice17]

Suggesting extremism in jest does not support your argument.

[Adler4404]

Idiot

[louis12346]

[Auggie56]

HA HA HA HA !

[burningice17]

With environmental policies like Kucinich's maybe then we can breath clean air again and not have to depend on oil in our lives so much. You think the current fuel economies our cars have is the best they can do? Think again. We're being shortchanged. Green helps public health, avoids oil wars, creates jobs, and keeps our jaws from dropping at the pump.

[ritty77]

None of these people will be president. It will be a Gingrich/Thompson ticket. Not sure what order yet.

[lgrf4evr]

yes, i can't wait for cancer dumper gingrich and i am fucking my teenage power hungry talentless whore wife thompson. i hope you don't get cancer, newt will probaly dump you like he did to his first two wife.

[Auggie56]

Ditto's "IDIOT"

[CityzenJane]

yay!!!!

[DennnisC]

youtube and CNN have shown the american people just how intelligent they think we are by showing a question like this.

shame on CNN for pandering by choosing such stupid and inadequate questions.
