"Technology Transfer" is a term everyone who's serious about climate change should have at the top of their "to advocate for" list. What KINDS of technologies to develop is one conversation to have, but another equally valid one is whether or not to share them with developing countries who would otherwise burn coal and oil. Sounds like a no-brainer. So why the hesitation? oh right, that little thing called $.

song is "Goodbye" by VAST

transcript:

You're sitting in a small room
with a smoker.
You used to smoke too,
but you quit.
He puffs his cigarette
and smoke fills the room.
He asks you
how you managed to quit.
You say,
"It's a secret"
He asks you for the secret
and you ask him for money.
He has no money
so you keep your secret.
You both continue to inhale.
P.S. You cant leave the room.
"Think globally. Act globally"

  • The new religion is here. More grants for scientist who get in the global warming wagon and more $ for progressive govts taxing you as per what the scientists priests say. A religion where everyone gets paid AMEN!!!

    Evidence is great. Usually a picture of a traffic jam, this video brings smoke (they usually show hurricane videos) Keepin' it fresh!

  • no worries, copenhagen is over now... onto the next thing!

  • @Plomomedia

    I don't use the arabic keyboard, but I'll definitely work on something.

  • carbon dating and the fossil record : all you need

  • nothing can be proven, the essence of existence is uncertainty but using inference and induction we can create an idea which we can say is the most likely explanation for an occurrence

    the theory of evolution is an idea that, so far, most likely explains the progression of biological entities

    until you find something that is not self-contradictory that gives a better explanation, then there is no reason to hold another explanation as higher truth

    by the way, this rules out any Abrahamic god

  • @pwolff1177 just wondering, did you grow up in a religious family? because that's the only thing i can think of that would dissuade you from perceiving the truth of evolution.

  • very big difference! and you know it. But it seems it doesn't take much to sway the herd one way or another just need a keen shepherd.

    Gravity exists but cant be explained.

    Darwins evolution can be explained but not proven to exists. well at least not in multi-celled organisms.

  • right, like the theory of gravity.
