SOUNDBITE (English) by Margot Wallstrom, EC Vice-President in charge of Institutional relations and communication strategy: "Until you dig a hole, plant a tree, water it and make it survive, you haven't done a thing. You are just talking." Those are the words of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangari Maathai. After working with environmental issues for more than two decades, I know this applies to climate change. We can't just talk about it. We also need to plan the necessary actions and policies to tackle it. And we need to start digging that hole

SOUNDBITE (English) by Margot Wallstrom: The poorest countries, those least responsible, will be the most vulnerable and exposed to climate change. This is our moral obligation. Copenhagen must deliver a global agreement based on social and development needs, burden sharing and the polluter pays principle. Developing countries will need substantial financial and technological assistance from the industrialised world. This is necessary to help them both to limit their emissions, not least those caused by deforestation in tropical countries, and to strengthen their resilience to climate change through adaptation. The European Union is committed to contributing our fair share to this financing. Tomorrow the Commission will put forward a blueprint for the financial dimension of a Copenhagen deal.

climate change- the greatest propaganda of the 21st century!!

[JonThm]

'Climate Change' is fiction from the pais stooges from nuclear power, or the stupid. Here both.

[dreamii90]

Im sorry but swedish english is hilarious, It sounds horrible :D Im swedish myself btw...

[JonThm]

'Global Warming' was nuclear PR, until the wordl started cooolnig in 2005. So now the nuclear stooges talk about 'climate change' - as here.

Sorry if these facts insult you.

1. You are not qualified to interpret and/or critique "papers" and/or "experiments". It takes many years of education and field training to begin go have a meaningful grasp of this very complex issue.

2. Rational laymen rely on credible, qualified professionals. The most respected are associated with scientific institutions.

3. ALL of these institutions concur on the core issue; HUMANS are warming the planet.

Not corporate propaganda; the truth.

Ok. Apart from insulting, u do not provide any evidence of what u say. The papers provides experiments. A science is indipendent on the source, experimental results must be carried out by others to check whether or not they are reliable.

You have no idea. You shut up, because u r a peddler of misinformation.

[ReduceGHGs]

Are you really qualified? Since you are a poster here on YouTube it is VERY unlikely.

One of the basic concepts of research is considering the credibility of your sources. You haven't done that. Your SPPI source example proves it.

If humans were NOT affecting temps wouldn't you think there would be at least one credible institution that would be saying it? These institutions span the globe and decades of research. Think they all conspire to lie and falsify their conclusions? Not hardly.

[ReduceGHGs]

You provided SPPI as a source. Try reading about them before you parrot their propaganda.

That was a GOOD one!

[agfigueroaa]

I read those papers and I could understand them.

They are peer-reviewed papers, they are thus more reliable than institutional reports that nobody checks.

[ReduceGHGs]

Here is EXACTLY what I said.

"ALL of our historically reliable scientific institutions that have studied the issue basically agree."

You want me to review the validity of those papers? You're kidding right? I'm not qualified are you? Not likely.

Propaganda? Sorry, but NASA, EPA, NOAA, AGU, AAAS and all the rest do honest science.

I noticed you didn't provide ONE reliable scientific inst. that backs your opinion. Why not?
