Wow...but it didn't happen.This was made 2006.Now it's 2009 and still such ideas are barely present.

You know, part of me can't help but feel that the video views technology as the answer to everything. There's a gee wiz factor in there that's undeniably present. Part of the problem is that it reduces the question into one of consumer choice. Voting with your dollars means that those who benefit most from the system and who therefore have the least stake in changing it are the ones with the most votes.

Global Climate swings are happening but Humans have barely any fault in it.

It a normal, natural cycle that earth goes through, all this worrying and call to arm to impose stricter regulations, taxes and laws to raise MPG on cars, burning of fossils is just a way to make rich people richer.

What we should be fighting against is pollution, for more investment into renewable and alternative energy so we don.t have to burn coal.

From 1800s we are coming out of Little Ice Age, look a bigger picture.

Why answer the problem with technology? Consumerism, and ease of transition, because it's far easier to convince someone to switch from a gas car to hydrogen then to get them to get a bike or just walk. The debate is unfortunatly more politics than science, so you have to keep in mind appeal.

@Radibomb the title means a crisis averted IN 2006, not this video made in 2006. and also, if it was made in 2006, then how did they get a picture of mccain and obama at the presidential debate? I remember that picture in the newspaper describing the debate that took place in 2009

@lolrofl1000 the video was posted on youtube in 2009. FreeRangeStudios include the year of creation in the titles of most of their videos here.

@dnangeldragon What is your source of information? CBS News? Because I heard that around 1920 there was one of the warmest years. I also read that under pressure, NASA changed their data three times, finding that 2004 was the warmest year on record, not the early 1900's. Do you really believe in this hoax? I hope not!

@c4rv3r You're right! I, myself could have put together a random, innaccurate graph showing that '05 was the warmest year! This whole "global warming" thing boils down to one thing, COMMON SENSE. Obviously, you have it! Thank-you!

@WitlessSod Do you believe in "global warming", honestly?

[evilportrait]

I would like to find whoever invented the term "global warming" and slap them across the face. What a ridiculous money-making scheme. And the term "climate change" means ABSOLUTLY NOTHING. "The climate changes". Actually, it's always changed and always will change. That differs from a claim of "global warming", which is also nonexistant. Show me the FACTS, not claims, and I'll believe; don't show me corrupt people who have completed no research to prove a theory.
