  • John and Hank deserve a Nobel prize

  • yea sooo climate change has happened constantly since the beggining of time .... we are just speeding it up ... its ok once the water level rises the world will clense itself a little and we can start all over again. circle of life

  • Question: how exactly does this website offset your carbon emissions? Just curious on the mechanism, not doubting the validity. Basically want to figure out if there are more things I can do myself to set off my emissions.

  • @haleymathiot

    I completely agree! And by the way if your name is Haley... Mine is too......spelled the exact same way! DFTBA

  • ... John and Hank SHOULD win the Nobel Peace Prize!

  • okay.....i still like you, and i still think you're smart, but i'm now doubting your critical thinking if you really thing Al Gore and Opera have done anything positive in the USA...

  • Wha?!?!?! I watch ALL OF THE MINUTES!

  • Wait... why are you paying for MY watching your vids?!

  • yaay, I'm watching this on October 12th, 2011. Time-traveling IS possible. Hoozah!

  • As of the 07 October 2011 Nerdfighters have spent over a century purely watching your videos.

  • 1.21 jiggawatts?!

  • in the url its feature=mh_lolz

    ahhah

  • "all the action in my pants"

  • It is so jokes that he has a book called How We Die on his bookshelf.

  • @vlogbrothers but if our electricity is solar powered, it means our battery is charged by solar power that doesn't do any harm to the enviroment (well its not supposed to at least) and nowadays many people (at least in oz)(and by what the company told my mum)have solar power so nowadays its about the same amount (way more nerdfighters and videos.) So... I guess... Yay?

  • Isn't it called global climate change now? not "global warming".... just saying. I'm more concerned with the effects of the Yellowstone caldera and the dramatic devaluing of the dollar on life as we know it on this planet.

  • have you ever thought of calculating how much time you guys (Mr.Greens/ John and Hank) spend on the computer and/or with a video camera to create and edit the videos along with how much time people take watching and commenting on them and how many kilowatts and therefore how much carbon that might equate to? but that would also take a lot of math considering how many videos, views, and comments in forums or YouTube you have,so maybe it wouldn't be worth knowing a price you may not be able to pay

  • Al Gore did NOT deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm sorry I just simply don't believe it. And I don't accept him as a Nerdfighter. I know it's not my say, but I really can't stand the man.  :-(

  • @SethGunnells says 2011 to 2007. we all know now of his hypocritical lifestyle and the number of scandals that he has engaged in. Regardless, the past John was not privy to these facts. =/

  • this day was my birthday =D !!!

  • What about JK Rowling/?????

  • "the stuff going on in my pants"..... lol

  • John, have you considered how many people are now on laptops, which have batteries, and at least some of that time spent watching your videos is done on said batteries? I watch mostly by battery, in my back yard, because I can. :)

  • @alikidry it still takes household power to charge that battery. sorry, you still create a carbon foot print.....

  • @TheCanibinoid granted, but i'm hoping my footprint is slightly smaller since i'm not plugged in *all* the time? dftba! :)

  • @alikidry Your batteries are charged by electricity ;) -John

  • @vlogbrothers I'll get a pedal-powered copper wound tube with power surge protection if you will. ;D

  • @vlogbrothers Yes, but laptops are way more efficient than desktops, the desktop uses ~110-120Watts,Laptops from 15-35 Watts.

  • @vlogbrothers what if they have solar panels on their house? Then they would be using the solar power to charge the battery. :P

  • one day there will be a nerdfighter in the presidency , and in the following 8 years ( yea he/she gets re-elected ) world suck is going to drop soooooooo much , i mean like utopia levels , thats how little world suck will be left.

  • @MyLIfeStudios Actually, I'm sure it will be JOHN or HANK getting elected, the other brother being vice president, of course.. Then, they are going to make worldsuck go down to ZERO. And have a lot more people supporting them.

  • heheeey the dutch are mentioned, makes me proud... :)

  • You go through a lot to ensure that this site remains carbon-free. 

    ^-^

  • Don't give a nobel prize to Oprah! She is a decepticon! She is taking over the Discovery Health channel and making it all about her!

  • theres no such thing as MAN-MADE global warming

  • In 50 years when I'm old and respected I will be that leader of the nobel peace prize comitee. Then you and Hank and all nerfighters will get the prize.

  • You TOTALLY need to win the Peace Prize. That would be so made-of-awesome.

    Way more than that now, John. Two more years makes loads more.

    And I write comments while watching the videos so that I can remember all of the things I want to respond to.

    Yay for Al Gore.

    Love the Beach Front reference. We in my family frequently discuss that while at the ocean.

  • what about youtube's servers and backup servers?

  • 60 seconds = 1 minute john... is your math still right?

  • *cough*climategate*cough*

    Then again, that is the other side of NErdfighteria, there are some who you will like, and some who you wish you weren't so associated with.

    Any promonet republican/conservative nerdfighters, or is that just wishful thinking?

  • What does political affiliation have to do with science?

  • Here, less to do with science, more to do with nerd fighter eligibility.

  • How much is it to neutralize carbon again?

  • @whydizz Based on the fact that the view number of their videos had increased about 30 times since then, it'd take them around 2000 dollars to be carbon-neutralised now.

  • From the description I have heard about who Al Gore won over I would have to agree that she deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Its like how Obama won the Noble Peace Prize and I'm really excited about it but at the same time I'm kind of like ok but what has he really done yet (and take notice I said yet because I expect great things in the very near future). I mean they are both very inspirational but I think you need to do something first you know?

  • you mean call you if the haven't already drowned in their ignorance and stupidity

  • beachfront property

  • God, I love your Happy Dance...

  • i think everyone should go to the website and just give them 11$ (prices went up) and get a ton of carbon out of the air.

  • oh oh, in the future, you can take out all the time used in computers in Iceland course our energy comes from water (hopefully you get what I'm trying to say ... ?) so that's all good :P

    (and there are probably other countries with lots of nice energy sources too aye?)

  • Haha, You should recalculate this now!!

    You would even have to include, shipping DFTBA records all over the world! lol

  • Lmao that was so funny at the end. i <3 the Green brothers you guys are so damn funny.

  • that's pretty odd to say. Hank is Johns brother who also makes videos on vlogbrothers. Just go to their profile and you'll see. And yes he is nuts but he's awesome.

    Genius is the closest thing to insanity.

  • "The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits"

    -Albert Einstein-

  • Are you saying that about John Green or Al Gore? And are you saying they're stupid or that they're a genius?

  • I was referring to John Green, and I was calling him a genius.

  • Ok good :D

  • Hank is John`s younger brother. This video was directed at Hank, Hank will make one replying.

    There is no such thing as cravck

    His videos are addicting like that

  • About 60,000 years has been spent playing games in the Halo series altogether.

    ...

    Uh.. the more you know?

  • I love the ending :D

  • Has anyone else noticed how John's voice gets much higher when he gets excited? hahaha it makes me happy ^.^

  • That is some impressive math.

    I love the frequent Dutch references. As someone of Dutch descent, I appreciate the dedication.

  • I write the comments while I watch the video. Sometimes I get screwed by asking questions that get answered later in the vid, but oh well.

  • You like the Netherlands a lot don't you? :P

    I think it's good that you're trying to be carbon neutral. So yay for that ^_^

  • so he does care for Outside after all

  • Comment 199:

    And you say that you're NOT good at Maths?

    O.o

  • "buy beach front property and call me in 50 years."

    lol

  • @NpPro93 John is the master of the burn.

  • haha buy beachfront property and call me in 50 years...PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • i think oprah got moved down to number three since the pwning...

  • woah.. my mind is boggled by all the numbers

    0.o

    hahahha, go nerd fighters!

  • o come on, everyone knows global warming is just a natural part of the end of days.

  • Oh god, your last comment was priceless. I, in fact, do not believe it is anything other than a normal cycle of Earth, but I wouldn't buy beach-front property anyway.

  • I think I ACCIDENTLY flagged this video.

    if I did I am REALLY sorry!!

    -Sophia

  • your low puff levels on this videos make me sad

  • I totally would pick John and Hank first if i could pick who receives a Nobel Prize!!

  • John, 2 things --

    1. Watch Global Warming Swindle. It will change your life completely. While I'm COMPLETELY for different sources of energy, and the preservation of our environment, Global Warming is a lie. Which transitions nicely into part 2.

    2. Can you explain to me why the temperature has dropped down again (and below in some areas and months) the average again? That fact alone explains the lack of GW discussion on the national stage lately.

  • I ALWAYS WATCH TIL THE END JOHN!

  • Oprah! :)

  • this video had 666 ratings, no one rate it thats pretty cool

  • An idea, anyone?

    Just like carpooling where people share ONE car, us nerdfighters should come together to ONE computer and watch the green brothers together; therefore decreasing carbon emisions and saving time!! WHOO HOO!!(whoa, talk about a run-on sentence...)

  • a true;y wonderful women who saved these innocent people in risk of her own life? Now there is a women who decreased world suck.

  • First of all, the earth goes through cycles and solar flares, it always has and has always caused weather fluctuations, so this is not abnormal. Besides, the earths temperature has only changed ONE degree over all this time. And, besides that fact, youll notice that my comment focused less on global warming and more on who should have won the peace prize. Lets say youre right and global warming is an actual threat. That woman still deserved it over him. He hasnt cured it. How could they pass up

  • Well said.

  • wow.... im only 13.... thats scary.....

  • WELL DESERVED?!Al Gore didnt deserve that! Even IF global warming had truth and merit, which it DOESNT he STILL doesnt deservr it! He won it over someone who worked to save lives in the holocaust and then reunite families after. She risked her life and saved TONS of people in one of, if not the most tragic event in semi modern history! It is unbelievable that he won over this amazing person.

  • How can you say the Global warming doesn't exist?! There is so much proof that it does truly exist. For example, the polar ice caps, which have been around for MILLIONS of years, are MELTING!. Polar bears are dying because they have to keep swiming because there is no ice for them to stop on. And this year there have been more tornadoes in places that don't normallly have tornadoes. That's not good. There is so much evidence that proves that something is wrong with our World. We need to change.

  • Everyone knows global warming is caused by the lack of pirates right? its a statistical fact that as global average temperature goes up, the number of pirates goes down. theres a perfect correlation! this is what the church of the flying spaghetti monster believes...

  • yes! And this is why Pirates are better than ninjas.

  • you wouldnt happen to be a pastafarian would you?

  • yes! Proud nerdfighter/pastafarian/sports­racer/way too many slashes.

  • I've spent more than my life time watching you guys. o.O

  • Whoa...math...too much. But that is a...significant amount of carbon. And I'm probably not helping by writing a Nerdfighter comment.

    Responding to several commenters before me, I don't know what to think about Global Warming. I'm not scientist, and that means that I have no say. Many people I respect (i.e. John and Hank Green) have told me it's real, while others I respect as much (i.e. my science teacher) have told me otherwise. AHH!

  • Oprah? Really? haha.. Interesting.

  • how did you get the stats on all ur videos and stuff? did you really go through every video and checked? or did just use on video and assumed that is the same or close to all the other ones? or is there something that actually tells u the stats?

  • -insert your favorite four-letter word here-

    we are bad carbon producers!!!

    -runs out and buys 5000 energy-efficent lightbulbs-

  • What?! I watch until the end! Always! I can't risk missing the introduction of some new Nerdfighter in-joke!

  • I've watched every movie all the way thru

  • Did you call Daniel??

  • thats weird that you say no one watches to the end, i watch every video til the very end .. except the one about harry potter where you spoil it.

  • Albert Gore, psh, what a hack. Norman Borlaug deserves a nobel every year until his death, and then afterward, awarded posthumeiously forever. Admittedly though, Al's pretty damn funny on Futurama.

  • did you have to call Daniel? to figure all of that out?

  • Best ending EVER!!!!! That was a good line for all them sceptics.... Your great, John! Definately made of solid AWESOME!

  • THIS VIDEO IS ON MY BIRTHDAY

  • Thats some uncharacteristicly fine math there John.

  • I like your hair cut!

  • You two definitely deserved the nobel peace prize.

    How is decreasing worldsuck not worthy of it? People will catch on eventually, though.

  • "and you have to consider all the action that goes on in my pants (the forum)". i'm sorry, but that just made me giggle quite childishly... ;)

  • Al Gore? Seriously? It's like Jimmy Carter all over again.

  • omg... I now wonder how much carbon I've used by watching these videos on YouTube from the beginning (plus a few of them I've watched a few times actually)

  • o no

    me too

    eek

  • wow. that's a lot of youtube views. people love you guys. a lot O,o wow.

  • Does that mean the nerdfighters have to take out themselves to stop the carbon-monster?

  • I watch till the end =O ?! <33

  • me 2

  • sorry i meant

    Hair cut*

    nice tho...kinda short

  • hair cute :D

  • If YouTubers weren't watching you they would be watching something else, keeping the Brotherhood carbon neutral is not productive.

    The carbon generated by: publishing/shipping your books, and your air miles is equivalent to the carbon created by a Chinese city.

    Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth' was a slick presentation by a slick politician.

    Even if it was "true' what has it got to do with world peace? It is more likely to fame the flames of world division and create a group of eco-facists.

  • WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY was I drinking orange juice while watching this.

    WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY did i have a mouthful of liquid in my mouth while i watched the end note?

    (may i point out that that^ could only happen to a nerd fighter)

  • i kind of resent that last note a littel bit because i live in an island, jamestown rhode island and it is one the best place ive been in my whole life

    serously

    guess how big it is?

    9 miles long

    1 mile in wideist part

    i love my island

    im sure youd agree

    and i do more than my part in global warming

    especailly since i just got a grant for my school to get solar panels

    yay me

  • love the end note

  • Wow, I just noticed John replied to me 3 weeks ago. And I haven't noticed just because I haven't checked my e-malil. This is like the highest honor of YouTubian Nerdfighter kind! all hail jhn!

  • the figures now aday are reall astounding and scare the crap out of me. I might live to see the final effects of global wrming if we keep treating the earth like we are now.

  • Oprah?

  • Oprah! Really? Are you sure? :)

  • Al Gore really shouldn't have won :/

  • I would not have put Al Gore 3rd. I think plenty of people other than Al Gore deserve that. Give it to an African who organizes against the gangs. Give it to the EMT with the world's most effective record of life saving. Give it to anybody but a corrupt Washington politician who spends over $1400/mo on his personal electric bill.

  • LOL... World suck.

  • i'm obsessed with you and i always watch until the end and if you werent already married i'd marry you. but like you probably wouldn't know about it. which might make things awkward. k bye!

  • 17 years!! That's more then I've been alive! CONGRATS To joo two!

  • Although I am also concerned about our environment, I have a problem with Al Gore winning the NPP over the woman who helped more than 2,500 people escape from the evil baby/man during the Holocaust. No comparison..in my opinion.

  • Ocean front property? I think I'll buy mine in Arizona. In 50 years people will think George Strait really didn't love the woman!

  • I have a request... could you make a video summing up why my friend should recycle? Maybe Hank would be good at that, being the head of Ecogeek. I found out Melisa doesn't recycle and I was super surprised and almost disgusted, but I can't come up with a way to convince her besides "U sux0rz, u kill treez". The netspeak emphasizes the low convincability of my argument. ;) Please help!

    Many Thanks From a Fellow Nerdfighter,

    Kate

  • You look like bill gates

  • John, you didn't take into consideration that if Brotherhood 2.0 did not exist (God forbid) many people would still be on their computers using up carbon. Therefore, you musn't assume that Brotherhood 2.0 is responsible for all of that carbon use; just some of it.

  • i have a peanutbutter and honey sandwich O.o

  • wow.... my brain hurts....

  • I'd just like to state that because of B20, I was able to participate in a class discussion today. My teacher asked if any of us heard about who won the Nobel Peace Prize, and I was the only one able to confidently answer.

  • wow that was a lot of numbers to keep up with John....

    thank you for contributing to the decrease of world suck on our behalf :)

    I wonder if Al Gore is a nerdfighter and just hasn't been informed of it yet...

    Pretty cool about him winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but if Leo Decaprio gets on then I might have to say that's going a little overboard...

  • okay, if i weren't broke and bordering on debt problems I would so donate money to this and all the other enviroment stuff. Blaa, sorry, i'm not feeling up to beat today. I think going to watch potter puppet pals and funny naruto stuff. Till tomorrow or later today:

    NERDFIGHTERS!

    _Rikitiki_

  • srly ? AL gore? > >;

    wth peace award committee?! HIM? Rly?

  • AHHHHHH to many numbers

  • wow and I thought I was smart.... your gonna be smarter than daniel biss soon but dont worry bet he has had a tough time answering ur phone calles ^.^

    YEAH YOU GUYS ROCK NERDFIGHTER IN NZ!!

  • theres just one thing you forgot to add to your mess of numbers all the comments for this video (such as this one) and and soo to come videos like monday and tuesday oh and thursday and friday cant forget friday!!

  • Watch the video again - he said comments take an average of 1 minute.....

  • honestly..your not good at math?

  • adsoajerigjiodfgoergio too....much...math

    hehe :P

    pretty interesting tho.

  • First off.... ouch my brain!

    second. when John tilts back on his chair near the end and blows his lips is look a like hank! haha they really are brothers

  • Am I still a nerdfighter if all that math just made my head hurt?

  • Ummm brothers or anyone else that knows computors.... I cant seem to log on to the official web site ... i have in a matter of two days and about 13 hours plus.... watch all the videos from begining to end... And i am sadden at this road block ... Can someone plz enlighten me and infor me why the main site dont work

  • A bunch of us have trouble accessing the page since the server switch. I don't think anyone really has a clue what's going on... (it works for me about once every three days, so keep on trying, you might be able to get through eventually).

  • when i think about umy carbon production i hang my head in shame =[

  • haha good vid! btw im taking environmental science in uni next year....veryexcited to learnhow to address our global environment....yay al gore..lol

  • holy shit you think alot

  • Yeah....I personally found you guys not that long ago...so I have actually spent a couple hours in a row watching all of you're videos.... and even thogh you guys are highley entertainig and are great to watch I still get the feeling that this is really not what I should be doing.

  • Hm...that's an interesting point. But at the same time, what about Hank's website? The ecogeek site, I believe it is called...what about carbon emissions from that? Those are long articles people are reading, comments to be made, etc...

    I dunno why I brought that up, but it just kinda popped into my head. ^_^;

  • John, you assume that no nerd-fighter is viewing BH2.0 using renewable energy sources. I am, partly. So don't be so down about how much CO2 pollution we're 'causing' as many of us don't cause it. Because we are (hoo-haa!) nerd-fighters.

  • i wanna become a nerdfighter do i have to sign some form or something lol or do i just have to will it happen and it will lol

  • go to brotherhood2 dot com and go to my pants, the forum:P join the forum and you're probably a nerdfighter.. anyone who wants to be a nerdfighter though, is probably already a nerdfighter. this would just make it official to the rest of us;P

  • well i watch every vlog you guys make until the last second... heh... you guys are my entertainment. hoo! haa! nerd fighters!

    \\//(@.@)\\//

  • Also, not that this relates to anything at all, but has anyone else ever looked at all of the videos while in small, youtube, paused in the middle format and noticed that while John is usually in the middle of the screen looking right at us, Hank is involved in some sort of action, whether it's gesturing or tilting his head to the side? I just thought it was interesting. Whatever I'm a nerdfighter, I'm allowed to be slightly weird.

  • DANGIT why can I still not get to the website? Except for once in a blue moon, I always get the "cannot find server" message.

  • John - Anderson's bookstore in Downers Grove, IL (and possibly Naperville, IL) has signed copies of "An Abundance of Katherines."

    Were you in one of these towns doing a signing, or did you sign them in the comfort of your home and have a distribution center forward them on?

    Or are they filthy forgeries? :)

  • i... dont understand.

    Watching your videos is... bad?

    I'm being... bad?

    THEN WHY DOES IT FEEL SO GOOD?!

  • "Buy beachfront property and call me in fifty years." That was awesome~!

  • AMEN!!!

  • al gore is an idiot. liar. etc. please....the world is going to fry in 15 years? what an idiot. co2 isn't even the strongest greenhouse gas. god people, LEARN THE FACTS! feel free to hate me. ill write a nice speech for you about the truth.
