I am very happy that Youtube started this Davos project. This is terrific; we have access to see things we could have never seen before. This is an incredible means of global communication. We actually have the opportunity to participate in global matters, by sparking thought in important people... Its amazing! p.s. Google is my homepage :)

So many people say the United States is becoming a third world country as of Jan 2008 it was already true. What do they want in under-developed countries? Jobs.

What do we want here in the USA? Jobs. We are already there, just too many were in denial when this video was made, but not as of June 2011 especially in light of the Nuclear problems around the world. And not just in Japan, can you say Las Alamos, Fort Calhoun, Cooper...? I knew you could.

About the video: Quite a few mistakes in the transcript/subtitles.

About the content: This seems like a good thing.

+1 for sustainable living.

@backitupwithfacts

Because the term 'global warming' is misleading and incorrect. It should rather be 'climate change'.

Also, to advocates of Global warming, the times of Ancient Rome were warmer by ~ 10 degrees Celsius. If this is true, how does one explain this phenomenon?

@ReduceGHGs

An applaudable and most noble proposal.

I however have two points of contention:

1. Sustainable living, based upon conventional definitions, means to replace oil, but current economy, and technology is fundamentally based on oil, that unless we can find a similar hydrocarbon alternative will collapse, and cause widespread societal panic.

2. You say sustainable living, provide a proposal for your idea?

loool did u know plants inhale co2, and exhale oxygen, so reducing co2 reduces oxygen, lol you lot have completley lost the plot hahaha

[ninupimps007]

look at the gross total CO2 emitted by all the countries from start of industrial age ... look how far out US is from everybody else ... look at china's and indias and just consider they are here for 5000 yrs now... man whole planet screwed in just over 400 yrs ... man that must be something right? ...
