I suppose these little videos are excellent practice for job applications to ABC TV.

We may as well accept it- Global warming is caused by women like Amanda!

Amanda is hot!! but onto the issue- these kids are just like young people of every generation- looking to define themselves and rebelling against previous generations. They don't have any special qualifications or abilities when it comes to science or public policy. What they do have is a history of being misled from their earliest days at school regarding global warming. (I know, I am part of the same generation) The young have been subjected to shameless scare tactics from the get go-

Clearly it's grassroots stuff, and not orchestrated by the UN itself.

Keep up the great work, nice video too! Good luck!

On another note, Nidal, I feel the tone of your comments do not serve to lend your views much credence. I think many would take you more seriously on Youtube if didn't make it all so personal.
