CO2 Don't hold your breath...

Does breathing really make global warming worse? Don't let Climate Deniers hand you this load of compostable organic matter. Do conservatives really think CO2 is safe because it doesn't cause cancer?
All this and more in this weeks Climate Denial Crock of the Week

Keep bringing the facts. Thank you.

lill help plz? :)

i am conflicted on global warming (what exactly the truth is) -- i certainly am hesitant to trust a government agency

[bbbleaver]

i feel similarly - though i am dead certain co2 pollution is having a marked effect as it is a measurable and notably easy to find data of levels of these contaminants in the soil, air and water. it just needs to stop. the long list of species that are now extinct due to over harvesting etc is well documented but what is difficult to know is what long term effect it will have on us without them here. tho, if earthworms disappear today we will most certainly be gone tomorrow.

Excellent video. I'm not a denier, but I have to say I do NOT think Carbon tax indulgences are going to solve anything, and are merely a means to gain more money and power. How could buying the 'right to pollute' ever solve the problem? It can't.

It is us. We get up every morning and work all day reproducing this system.

@1:17 was already admitted by deniers several years ago as being inaccurate. This is old news. I like to see a counter argument to Dr Richard Lindzen's findings that the IPCC has exaggerated the retention of heat when CO2 is doubled by 6 to 7 times.

google NASA - 2009 2nd warmest year on record this century.

yuhh. can't really do too much until everyone realizes that and makes a conscious effort together.

well i'll be entering a field of science, i'm not sure which one yet, to do what everyone else should be doing

[techjunkie92]

i just havent done enough research to determine the extent to which humans are influencing global warming, whether the amount of CO2 currently in the atmosphere is an issue, etc.I know there are numerous scientists who would dispute the commonly perpetuated views on the above and even whether global warming is occuring.not bein a scientist, I need to look into ths more to form a definite view. there are so many 'facts" being thrown out on all sides of the debate that it is diffiult to decipher

[techjunkie92]

i agree that they would not be far without us. at the same time though i think its important to recognize that we arent the ones primarily responsbile for the destruction, because if we do so, we will focus too much on trying to change our own lives and thus not enough on trying to make a dent (or larger impact) on the primary perpetrators of injustice etc

[Beatnuk]

Kind of.

right now, most of us are connected to "the matrix" / industrial civilization. It is from the matrix our minds get their "impulses", and it shapes how we think and perceive the world. As a consequence, most humans are consciously dead and live in a state of perpetual running from or after something.

Nature allows the mind to function properly. This culture does the oposite. This culture is a system of mind manipulation techniques to make slavery seem attractive.

it's like reconnecting a circuit?

 plug back in and re-establish that diminished relationship that once educated, nurtured, and gave meaning, to our lives.
