*** (19. MARCH 2011) WINNER OF YOUTUBE'S BEST NONPROFIT VIDEO AWARD!!! ***

Fossil fuels have powered human growth and ingenuity for centuries. Now that we're reaching the end of cheap and abundant oil and coal supplies, we're in for an exciting ride. While there's a real risk that we'll fall off a cliff, there's still time to control our transition to a post-carbon future.

A deeper analysis of the crises we face, and possible solutions we can work on right now can be had HERE: http://j.mp/PCReader

  • We each need to do our part, as individuals, to protect Mother Earth. Ride a bicycle or walk instead of drive. Sometimes I feel so alone in this journey. When riding my bike, I am amazed at how little respect I get from drivers. We are all accountable for our actions. If we do not pay the consequence, then our children will. This is a fantastic visualization of just how broken the world's model of sustainability really is. This shows clearly that we need to re-invent the wheel of how we live.

  • 675 people are USEFUL IDIOTS for the Fossil Fuel Industry & are threatening everyone's children!

  • Grow up! Go to school & learn something useful.

  • Excelente vídeo, que de uma forma muito sucinta resume muito bem bastante do essencial da questão ...

  • You should've mentioned that nukepower is not an alternative to fossil fuels, just to make a point for those who are still delusional and think that's a viable alternative to fossil fuels :) And I do have to partially agree that there are a couple skewed points on it since its not just over-production that brought to where we are today.... that's a tad oversimplified. To the Socialism vs. Capitalism, could you lay down your weapons and not see everything through your own skewed glasses?:)Thanks!

  • Then there are the 12,021 useful suckers of the Frankfurt School of Marxists Social Theory.....You've been had !.

  • Right on ! ........... ie "the depression partly caused by over production" Thanks, Frankfurt School of marxism.These Evil bastards are always blaming Capitalism and heralding the greatness of Socialism.Socialism which has killed more people than any other belief system !.

  • there is quite a bit of misdirection in this video... some of the facts have been skewed to fit an ulterior motive..

  • simple. poignant. living within nature's limits. all hands on deck!

  • Fossil fuels killed my father, and raped my mother. :'(

  • hopefully, you're not a politician..
