Stop Soot, Black Carbon, and Global Warming - Earthjustice

Soot, also known as black carbon, is the second-leading cause of global warming after carbon dioxide, and it's totally preventable. We already have the technology to avoid producing it; it's just a matter of using it.

For more information, go to StopSoot.org.

According to Google Language Tools, the comment was:

Stephen Hawking: ask the big questions about the universe

Of course the climate change denial industry,with it's vested interest in the status quo,will seek to undermine facts which are rigourously and scientifically proven.

Such people should hang their heads in shame.Thank God though that the oil industries puppets are not ruling America anymore.

Good presenation of vital information. thanks for your guidance, EarthJustice!

@ucannotescape.The soot and black carbon are a direct result of incomplete combustion,which makes little economic sense.These airborne aerosols block sunlight necessary for photosynthesis,which makes little agricultural sense.It clogs the lungs of people,which drive down worker productivity.Corrupt politics aside,lowering the particulate matter in the atmosphere has its benefits.

Great work!

Nice, I like these kind of cartoon-stile informative videos!

This is dopey. I have asthma and soot doesn't cause it, it irritates it. DA. It's finally all coming out that Al Gore and his global warming climate change is nothing but a scam! 30,000 scientist agree about this but Al Gore refuses to even debate them? What's he trying to hide? The fact that he'll make billions if Cap and Trade passes. But it won't because Congress is even on to the Global Warming SCAM!

Simple message of this video is being missed - stop unnecessary burning of ANYTHING that emits soot. Sort of an international burn-ban that we should voluntarily adhere to. Compost... don't burn, that yard waste and limbs and branches pruned from your bushes and trees. Don't burn a "campfire" just for the freaking fun of it when camping.

This is so well done!

How can that many of us be arguing that global warming is fake? Everywhere the issue is brought up. This issue was set forth by scientists, those of which have been studying the world for years and years and have a lot more education on our global properties and habits than we all think we do. Unless you all can take accurate tests proving thousands of scientists wrong, the problem remains. It is our world's stubborness to take the blame that is preventing us from truly finding a cure.

Hmm, NASA's Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index graph has 2005 as the warmest year. This is published by GISS.

Is there another NASA? Which planet is your NASA on? Is it even in this solar system?

NASAs much-ballyhooed data showing that 1998 was the warmest year on record for the Earth was, uh, wrong. A blogger found a Y2K bug in the data algorithm, NASA climatologist James Hansen, and NASA has now issued corrected data. The warmest year on record for the Earth: 1934 1998 was the second-warmest. The third warmest: 1921. Michael Asher at DailyTech*com tells the story of how blogger Steve McIntyre, who operates the site climateaudit*org, found the error and forced NASA to admit it.
