  • no offense! ;-) there IS HOPE 4 U LOL!

  • Your a shill! God would not have instructed us to go forth and multiply to COVER THE WHOLE EARTH if there would be a problem with that. Your thinking is way off. It presumes that God, Who foresees all, set us up to fail, which is totally not the case. Sure, if you dump hundreds of millions of gallons of poison into the Gulf in such a short time - things will die, or if you jump off a bridge. dollarpages is a dot ORG check it out, smarten up, don't waste waste band width on stupid stuff, move on!

  • And, we have not even come close to previous hot levels. Think about it, if there is any activity left in your brain after the cell phone and all that pop you drink! God, Who can foresee the future, already anticipated anything you can come up with. Global warming, if it was real, would have led to the end of fossil fuels. I see SUV's getting bigger and bigger. Next time, don't show us your disgusting living quarters, clean up first. Maybe brush your teeth, also. Focus on real stuff: CHEMTRAILS

  • you are a DORK! NO SUCH THING AS GLOBAL WARMING! We started measuring AFTER the BOTTOM of the really hot period, which means from the coldest point. DUH! It had NO WHERE TO GO BUT UP! plus, they totally took the MWP right out of the propaganda - to generate what is known as the "hockey stick" graph, where the rapid upturn of the blade is supposed to MISLEAD US INTO THINKING THAT global warming is a crisis - I'm a doctor-researcher-scientist Who the fck are you - moron! ASPARTAME ON THE BRAIN!!!

  • ---cont'd--- Applying the logic you described would leave you no choice. Pay the money. Unless of course, there was nothing wrong with your foundation... One can run an infinity of scenarios in which your logic would apply, but shouldn't. Talk about a castle of playing cards crumbling down. Smoke and mirrors is all you showed. Not unlike the topic at heart. Sorry. It just doesn't work. Or more precisely, works conveniently too well.

  • ---cont'd--- This is what happens when too much thinking blurs the vision. Let me illustrate how I believe your demonstration, albeit well constructed, is absolutely useless. Say I come to your house as a foundation repairman, declaring that your house is about to crumble, and it is just a matter of time before you will have to live with the responsibility of having decimated your family because of your inaction, unless you pay me a fortune to fix its foundation. ---see next---

  • So clear and impossible to argue! Unfortunately, this little demo applies to EVERYTHING. And therein lies the problem.

  • A very salient point and a good way to get people thinking about risk managment. Unfortunately, if, as you suggest, you put more columns in, i.e. a gradient of action scenarios, then you get a number of columns to chose from. When that happens you are discussing the likelihood of an event occuring and you are right where you started from.

  • Sir, Bravo. Very good points. I am not a tree hugger or liberal, but I agree with your logic. As my old First Sergeant use to say, "Plan for the worst, and hope for the best!"

  • Wow, there is just sooo much flawed logic on this video, I don't think it can all be addressed.

    What about another row? What if we "do something" (aka column "yes") but it STILL doesn't prevent it? By the smiley face on true/yes, you make it sound like we'll still be happy? WHAT?!? No we won't! The doomsday predictions still apply for true/yes.

    What about not doing anything and it does happen, but not to the severity that you claim? There are a myriad of possibilities!

  • hey jerk off he said add more coloms and play with it, and if climate change is ture then we should do something and the idea of it not working isn't a reason not to react.

  • Hey jerk off...lern to spel befor yu sond off.

  • i love how it's my spelling that you bring up to try and counter me not any of my points becasue you know i'm right, so how about you try to argue me on an intulectual level and not just sling mud my way

  • Look! Another liberal ignores history! Core samples show accurately past temperature and CO2 levels in the atmosphere. And guess what? CO2 levels and Temperature correlate closely! Every time there is a temperature increase, within several years there is a corresponding CO2 increase! GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES CO2, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND! And guess what else? All greenhouse farmers know increasing CO2 also increases crop yields. SO GREAT IDEA - STOP CO2 EMMISSIONS AND HELP STARVE THE THIRD WORLD!

  • weather or not it is true, the bottom line is this: care for the planet that you live on!

  • How could we ever stop countries like China, and other developing nations from burning massive amounts of fuels in the future? There are an estimated 300,000 to 3 million under sea volcanoes. Do we really make any difference? We are polluting the earth, but isn't carbon good for plant growth? I think we are small in the natural cycle of nature. We want to believe we are more, but if we were gone tomorrow, mother earth wouldn't notice. Next!!

  • It's Pascal's Wager and its as false an argument for God then as it is for the environment and everything else today.

    In warm periods in the past, the Earth thrived, forests spread, deserts shrank, storms moderated as the temperature gradient between tropics and poles reduced. For some reason, somewhere along the way, someone convinced you that the opposite must be true - but that's where you've been fooled.

  • Yes, I realize it's Pascal's Wager and I'm putting my wager on the environment and God for that matter.

  • At least you admit that what you've got is an irrational belief with no basis in reality. At least that's a start...

  • You are taking a long time to say that we should act as if global warming were a result of man's activity. If it turns out that we are are right in this presumption, then we will have done something positive to mitigate the effects coming the planet's way. If we are wrong, we will have simply made an error in analysis and caused no more harm along the way.

    This is not a point that requires a 10 minute video with diagrams to put across. It is simple.

  • Or if we just look at the science, we can be sure that it isn't happening and save our time and money.

    The debate is secondary to the point that the science in favor of it is weak and the science against it is concrete.

    Even worse is your assumption that government regulation could solve the problems anyways. The free market could. Look at countries with heavy environmental regulations, and you'll find the countries that pollute the most.

  • espo i think hes trying to not just save Goverments, but all members of humanity because its all of our problem. We both have to do our part

  • I'm not saying that I disagree with you, but it seems as though you're making the claim that your argument is purely logical, when it isn't. You have made the judgement, but have not proven that the consequences of not taking action when necessary are worse than taking action when not necessary. It is possible that they aren't. This brings the debate back to the same impasse.

  • great video, one thing, if there was no global warming, and we did spend money on saving the planet from it, than that might not be a bad thing. If we were to stop using a fossil fuel based economy, instead be using hydro power, not only would that make everything from heating our homes to fueling our cars a lot less expensive, but it is renewable so we wouldn't run out after 150 years of using it. Either way i strongly believe global warming IS upon us so we should do something regardless.

  • Great Video! We should all be aware of the environment issues at hand ;) This video makes complete sense... pay attention people global warming is here and we must deal with it before it is to late!

    Bravo!

  • Great Video! We should all be aware of the environment issues at hand ;)
