An update on how the viral idea started by "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See" and beefed up in the "How It All Ends" video project is progressing. "Operation Saturation" contains some really BAD news, and some really GOOD news. Which do you want first? Well, here's what you're going to get, in four parts:
Part 1: "THINGS LOOK REALLY LOUSY." Some SERIOUS doom and gloom. Yucky, yucky, yucky--but it's not in your interest to look away.
Part 2: "CAN WE FIX IT? YES! WE! CAN!" The GOOD news--it looks like we've accomplished a "proof of concept" that we CAN change the world by spreading this idea of looking at the risk instead of the certainty! Awesome!
Part 3: "HERE'S HOW" Your mission, with detailed instructions. THIS is how you save the world (or--more pertinently--our collective hide)!
Part 4: "GET 'ER DONE!" Even more strategies, most quite easy, most with great potential to multiply awareness.
BIG THANKS TO THE FOLKS AT THE MANPOLLO.ORG FORUMS for help in refining the message!

Welcome to the operation NUTJOB.!!! LOL
DarthMai 1 year ago
Dude , you are a nutjob!! CO2 ,Nitrogen in the form of Nitrogen oxides, dusts, Ozone, Sulfur oxides, Oxygen and water wapor, hydrocarbons have existed for millions of years, volcanic eruptions and forest fires have naturally occurred even before humans existed. Nature has a way of correcting itself. And this is governed by the Law of Partial Pressures. Human beings survives on oxygen levels of 19.5~ 21 % , and oxygen are continuously produced by plants/trees. And they need Carbon dioxide .

Did I mention smog? No.
"THe GREEN MOVEMENT now is infiltrated by the REDS"
Ok, now you really are showing your colours =P If you seriously think environmental awareness is an evil communist plot you are crazy.
My point was you can have too much of a good thing. Take Oxygen - it's essentioal for respiration but too much of it and it will kill you, not to mention the fire hazard. If you can't understand a basic principle of balance, there's no point continuing the discussion.

Talking smart ...like educated when probably you are a hack.
DarthMai 1 year ago
@MaxSafeheaD when you are in the city and there is smog, smoke..of course it smells bad. And the smoke and smog in Beijing is not CO2, CO2 is odorless. What you are actually complaining is the particulates in the exhausts. Thats why in coal fired plants there are particulate filters. THe GREEN MOVEMENT now is infiltrated by the REDS. Sewage is not a pollutant either, in fact sewage can be used as fertilizer. However, you are now talking about solid waste now, are u dumb?

@DarthMai
Of corse CO2 is a part of nature, that's the whole ******* point.
Sulphur Dioxide is also a natural gas, and Methane but that dosn'yt mean they have no effect on the climate. The atmosphere of gas on the surface of the earth is the REASON we have climat at all so your claim that it's composition is irrelevant is utterly stupid. Sorry, but there's no other way to put it.
Sewage is natural, I suppose that isn't a pollutant either?

@kkob So if you are right, we're doomed anyway, it sounds like to me. May as well not worry about it, right? Or how do you plan to stop the feedback? Global Warming is only a symptom of human greed and rapaciousness. Without addressing issues such as lifestyle and procreation, we'll never tackle Global Warming. We're just 'consumers'. The green movement is a joke of a trend that mostly poor people engage in.

@Justwannalogon Feedbacks. Deal with the feedbacks. Methane is rising in the atmosphere and is already up to 1.85 ppm after being no more than .7 or so for the last 400,000 years, at least. Methane is seeping from the Siberian Arctic sea area and all of the tundra. This is one of those positive feedbacks people like to pretend don't exist. They exist, and we've still got half the oil left. And coal. And nat gas.
