is it accurate?

The example of Brazil and its massively successful etanol industry and policy is simply great. A very young country, poor 100 years ago, showing leadership and technology to the entire planet! It is the growing of a fair global player it seems.

CMU got really great lectures. This school is topnotch!

@8data they live off that money, but the econ department are ideological libertarians and advocate no government and no taxes...perfect for their wealthy trustees...but contradictory to their raison d'etre...which is tech for tax payer funded military...or rather Treasury bill buyer supported military...Econ depts like them, UChicago, Columbia, Harvard, Stanford all advocate no taxes, no govt, etc. but plenty of war for oil controlling shareholders (i.e. trustees) re: Mellon's Gulf Oil, etc.

Richard Mellon Scaife, CMU Trustee, is according to Rolling Stone Magazine one of the biggest funders of climate change denial propaganda in USA along with the Koch Brothers. He owns media and funds the "astro-turf" activities to confuse American citizens about climate change and also the real cost to them for energy. They are in a very bad predicament having him on the Trustees. Is it because he has shareholdings in fossil fuel related businesses?

its a hoax, just more rubbish talk in this clip. Can I ask who pays your wages? My guess is that its a government. Please can we base our arguments for or against climate change on a proper scientific peer reviewed basis.

@knoxlong - a one sided view? Are you a moron? These speakers are the ones doing the research. This panel exists to inform people of the FACT that is global climate change. "One sided view" implies there is another side to the argument.. If this side is full of people who know what they are talking about, what does the other side contain?

Sorry, but it well established science that humans are warming the planet. This is as per ALL of our respected scientific institutions. Among those that actively study climate change there is no credible debate.

Learn more about it.

I find it somewhat offensive that CMU provides a one sided view that man made climate change is real and pervasive and that storing CO2 under the ground is worth the massive cost and risk.

The opening remarks in this video are even more troubling because she talks about influencing children (i.e. indoctrinating children) that man-made global warming is real without providing facts.
