Denial was a River in Africa

In 2 decades of wars for oil and resources, the fossil fuel industry has gotten a lot of bad press.
But climate deniers are people too, and they need to feel good about themselves and what they do. So they've worked hard overcome feelings of guilt.

It's a defense I call, "Therapeutic denial".....

I'm usually not very keen on censorship, but I think you should remove conspiracy crap/ climate change deniers' comments from the comment sections of your videos. Great videos, by the way: )

@winterstellar

I only remove stuff that is overtly racist, threatening, violent, or just so foul that even I can't stand it. Other than that, I try to make it an open forum. I think when conspiracy nuts post, it just underlines my point about climate deniers.

These GW restrictions are to make sure that no one else achieves a level of affluence that the eco elite and Al Gore have right now, thus keeping everything just as it is now with Al and his cronies on top.

Global warming has been going on since the end of the little ice age ~200 years ago and will continue or start cooling even if every human was taken of the planet tomorrow. The argument over man made GW is like to fleas fighting over who steer the dog they are ridding on.

@cupera1 "I hate Al Gore" is just another way deniers say "I got nuthin".

Great video. Most people in the US and Europe have never seen how people live in third world countries. They are living on the edge now so if things get worse they will be starving.

Seriously, these videos are great! You really need to make more of them!

Make some more on the effects of climate change. Especially mention the effects of climate change and ocean acidification (the other carbon problem) on coral reefs. I have a feeling that the reefs may be the most important part of the equation.

@pseudotruth, that's a very good point! If we ALL get together in groups & demand susainability & 'smart planning' from our communities' govt. planning depts, govts. would be less inclined to align with big-money polluters & more likely to start lobbying THEIR committees to change for the better....

{yup, it started with us - & its starts with us!)

[tnekkc]

We don't have a climate problem, we have a liberal problem.

Name one person who denies the climate.
