The curiously contradictory concept of global warming

Visuals from here: http://www.archive.org/index.php

There's something going on here I can't quite put my finger on. Our planet has always had climate changes, it's part of the nature of it. To use that as an excuse to make us buy all sorts of things we don't need is yet another means for big business to profit, but on the other hand it makes sense to treat our home with care and respect and not strip its resources bare, whatever the reason.

One hefty volcano could outdo all our human efforts, good or bad?

I pin my hopes on the Projector Room and still do my bit!

Indeed. We are small. Though we are also big.

I agree in that it doesn't take a genius to see that burning fossil fuels releases "toxins" faster than the earth can scrub them, polluting fresh water faster than the earth can replenish, and generally thinking the earth is for our taking has a poisoning effect.

I think people who live in denial of this have their own agenda for refusing to do anything about the state of ecological affairs.

Really good video!

The scientific consensus is clear. And any scientist who speaks against the consensus of the scientific community is speaking against the consensus of the scientific community.

That's just how science works.

It's sort of democratic.

It doesn't confuse me at all, just makes me smile. :)

I initially view videos from three different channels so that in case I go away or can't log in for a few days I don't lose any videos beyond the five page mark... When I reply I'm logged into YouTube from only my main channel on the default browser. I'm logged into my other channels on two other web browsers, and it's too much of a hassle to switch default browsers every time I get another email notification.

It saves me some time and I hope it doesn't confuse you too much :)

It's funny the way you come back and respond as someone else. :)

Science is not an international conspiracy.  It's just people gathering data and letting the data speak for itself as it has on this issue.

The oil industry can buy a few scientists. Luckily, it can't buy all of them.

SomethingSeaTrashed,

Either you believe in science or you don't. The global climate change issue was resolved through the preponderance of the evidence and global consensus.

Science works by scientific evidence.

You seem to be turning not believing into some kind of religion. You have faith that scientists have no idea what they're talking about.

Are you similarly skeptical of scientists who -support- oil industry objectives?

I think we each have to be our own John Lennon.

[withnielandi]

I agree, I try to tell family and friends this but sometimes I feel like im speaking to the deaf and blind. I don't read newspapers and laugh at the propaganda on mainstream tv, I do feel though that the tables are turning and people are waking up to it. It's a shame we don't have a John Lennon of the modern world

Still, we cannot lose sight of the fact that we are part of the evolution of the planet, and not some foreign pest that was introduced to wreak havoc with the ecological balance, or are we? Still, with our departure a gross imbalance will remain, and you're right, the world will always seek an equilibrium but it will not by nature remain naturally balanced all by itself as all things are changing always...
