I notice in your sources, regarding the NASA article, you tell us to watch your video, "Climate Change -- Is it getting cooler?" I, however, couldn't find this. Did you mean "Climate Change -- Has the Earth been cooling?"

[potholer54]

@cowboyweightlifter =Did you mean "Climate Change -- Has the Earth been cooling?"= That must be the one. Sorry, I've made so many videos I can't remember the titles! If you have any trouble finding sources please message me, because it's crucially important that people use proper sources, and I'm glad you're following that up.

I like this guy, he sounds like Yahtzee's calm, reasonable twin

[fraglimat]

And that is why I never read the papers or watch the news, it's either more or less bullship, but usually some sort of bullshit, if I want to know something I'll look it up, preferrably from several different sources.

Ha what an amazing coincidence, Potholer was ALSo the 10 000 th visitor on the mail online website, we must have been there at the same moment :D

[reenolith]

that skrewdriver example just made my day :D

@Geoff918 Potholer54 was already in college by age 10. :)

Apparently if you completely immerse yourself in a vat of coke for a year YOU DIE! Evil coke!

[Geoff918]

I'm not sure if you were about 10-years old when a rumor went around school, or that the Coke did not dissolve a tooth. Do you have a source for such rampant speculation, or random attribution of some clearly accurate historic portrayal?

BTW...who else just had to look at the top recommended video over on the right? "6 Ultimate Reasons not to be an atheist". Obviously we all knew this would be horrible, but we looked anyways. Got through 1:09 before I just couldn't take it anymore.

[Reip187]

Love your videos. You make me laugh with how you mock certain things with your mostly dry humor. The Hovind theme music had me rolling a few back however which was obviously more direct.

This was actually the video I have been thinking about while watching through yours and was glad to see you made one. Keep up the good work.
