in the abundance of water the fool remains thirsty. in the abundance of food, the fool starve. in the abundance of education, the fool remains stupid. some will see these videos and not take anything from them and of course be negative and showcase their ignorance. i'm incorporating this into my science class

they are GOOD

Prisoner's dilemma. A given country would only benefit from acting on CO2 if all other countries do as well. What is the likelihood that if the USA cuts back on CO2 that, say, China, Russia, and India would as well? Or would they just burn the fuel that the USA otherwise would have?

But,.. how can we do this without John Denver?

The closest I can think of for a hero for this is Leon Panetta. A hero inmy book on US environmental policy. He went the distance for Monterey Bay.

@phantomscolts2 Still "jumping the shark" phantom? You make even global warming deniers look sane - and believe me that's almost impossible to do...

@phantomscolts2 Do you realise how crazy you look to an outside observer?

@phantomscolts2 The trouble is it's more sensible to credit the stated opinions of the best scientific organisations on Earth rather than wild eyed paranoid conspiracy theories of random internet loons on youtube.

I also know a lot about the science - it's beyond doubt that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, that it's increasing in the atmosphere, that we're mostly responsible, that the planet has warmed and continues to do so. Arch-sceptic scientist Lindzen agrees - only he says it won't be very much

@phantomscolts2 Paranoid thinking phantom. You people really sicken me that your brains are so screwed up that you believe your own horse shit. If anyone listens to the types like you and thereby threatens my family and my future you lot will have an awful lot to answer for.
