Global Warming for the scientifically illiterate

The basics of man-made global warming and climate change. It's really not that difficult to understand; and near-impossible to refute.

The author of this thread is deleting comments he doesn't like. He's a liberal arrogant elitist who treats things like global warming as religion. Sorry, but the fundamentalists, Republicans, and all the other groups you call ridiculous, were right on this one! Ben Stein's Expelled movie shows how information on evolution is rigged and how money enters the process.

And that's where people like yourself fail; you're only willing to listen to one side of the debate. I've read Dawkins, sure, but I've also read Behe and other proponents of I.D. I saw "Expelled," but I also watched other documentaries that were pro-evolution. It's called objectivity. Because, sadly, a few years ago, I was one of those folks who was unsure about evolution; but I tried my best to understand it, read a thousand books pro and con, and found that the science was undeniable.

BTW, I could just reverse your personal attacks and say exactly the same thing about you. You're a creationist, conspiracy theorist, wacktard who wouldn't know Science if it walked up and kicked you in the crotch. We're all something; we all fit into one category or another (especially in the eyes of others.) So what? What if I am a liberal? What on earth does any of that have to do with speciation, genetic drift, natural selection, paleontological evidence????

Some of the environmentalists who for so long fought against big business and financial fraud....the said thing is, their own movement has been hijacked by those very same forces, but they are too blind to see it, in my opinion. The very thing they fought against for years now controls their movement. An atheist and creationist can look at the same evidence and come up with different conclusions due to their world view, which, let's face it, affects their conclusions. No one is not biased

I wouldn't deny that a good portion of the "movement," as you call it, has been "hi-jacked" by corporate interests. When DOESN'T that happen? But there's an obvious flaw in what you're saying here. So what? Even if the "movement" has been hi-jacked, that's besides the point; the point being the science behind the cause. It's not the movement that's important. What is important is, "do the facts support the conclusion that the climate is heating up because of human activity?"

I'm not blind to the "Al Gore's" of the movement; there will ALWAYS be opportunism; that's the "spirit" of America. I could say the same thing about religion. Christianity has been "hi-jacked" by opportunistic preachers who are looking to get rich by selling "miracles" and "hope." No doubt that has happened, but so? Does that alone invalidate the claims of Christianity? No. Whether some pastors are greedy bastards or not has nothing to do with the facts. That's all I'm saying.

Ben Stein shouldn't even be a financial adviser. I remember him on Fox News just before the housing market fell.  He was telling everyone that things were fine and name calling the other guest who was pointing out the obvious.

5/5

It wasn't your intention but I laughed the whole way through!! :DD

It's true that Americans generally have the worst education and are more concerned with "entertainment" than knowledge. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I'm gonna take a wild stab here and guess you're an INFJ on the Myer/Briggs which puts you in 1-2% of the population. Most people will not understand you nor do they want to.

Excellent video.

GLOBAL WARMING IS FAKE

AND SO ARE YOU BEARDY BOY...

[blackbird309]

Fact: Global warming can be scientifically proven to be impossible.

I can prove it myself for anyone who dares to challenge me.

This used to work but not any more. Try it for yourself.

Better way is to post the title then let the other youtube watchers google.

[ganondorky]

This is so factually inaccurate. Its amazing to accuse people of not understanding the science, but when you do you create this assumption that YOU do. Clearly you do not. Let me throw this out there: Of all of the greenhouse gases, CO2 contributes only 3.6 percent to the total greenhouse effect. Of that 3.6 percent, only 3.2 percent is man-derived. Thus, only 0.12 percent of the total greenhouse effect is attributable to man-made CO2.

Guess what the biggest GHG is! Its water vapor!

[archerace7]

Now it seems that the only way to get the climate change agenda rolling was to lie about it every step of the way...and now it has been admitted that there has been no warming since 1995...that is scientific fact..lol

[virgogreg]

Alex Jones no because 31 thousand scientists disagree and Because Al Gores movie was proved full of factual errors and the scientists that the United Nations like Philip Jones perpertrated fraud but you are more qullified to know betterright ?

[virgogreg]

Global Warming is a total Scam!

[IrishLincoln]

Well, I am freezing my ass off right now. That's a fact!!
