What a film! What an instructor! This was the most thought provoking little video, I've ever seen. I hope it makes the rounds of the Internet in mach 2 speed. So that we can hear the sonic boom of information before the sounds of all life forms on Earth being struck down by this intangible, imponderable Global Warming Theory. I must say, there is a resemblance here, of the Aesop's Fable:
The Ant and the Grasshopper

IN a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
“Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and...

IN a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
“Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"
“I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same."
“Why bother about winter? said the Grasshopper; “we have got plenty of food at present.” But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food, and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:
“IT IS BEST TO PREPARE FOR THE DAYS OF NECESSITY."
This, written in the Sixth Century B.C.. Why has modern insight vanished? Could it be the Almighty Dollar had something to do with it?

I am not convinced by the "man made" climate change argument. I know that this puts me in a minority but my view is that the earth's climate has been changing ever since the earth has had a climate & many more times before the dawn of humanity. The voices of the anti "man made climate change theory" scientists (& let's not forget that it is still a theory) are drowned out by the scientific majority. But as has been said before - science isn't politics & majority decisions aren't proof of truth. Having said all of this I am not in favour of profligate human activity. Economy in all aspects of life is all it will take to address any theoretical man made climate change threat. This is a superb ...

Economy in all aspects of life is all it will take to address any theoretical man made climate change threat. This is a superb well thought out exercise in logical thinking. Forget Al Gore & his questionable motives for trying to save the planet. This guy should get the plaudits. As the saying goes "common sense - its all to uncommon".

A very good presentation and simplified. But he did make one mistake. If we choose column A. This does not mean loss of economy because of factories closing. It could actually mean the economy would grow because we would do things to lesson pollution.

We would ride bikes or better yet. We would finally use technology to create man powered vehicles. Some of that technology would be solar power. And that could be transformed into Hydraulic Technology.

The wind could be put to better use then what it is now. They already have designs that are more compact and can create more power output.

The rivers can flow freely. and with designs similar to wind generators. The flow of water can be harnes...

The rivers can flow freely. and with designs similar to wind generators. The flow of water can be harnessed
without the use of dams.

Crops can be grown strictly by organic means. And any waste from farm animals to organic residue can be made into methane gas. And that can be used as a power source.

Recycling should be 100%. There should never have been land fills. This is just { out of site out of mind } mentality.

In other words. To do something, means there will be jobs for everyone. No more will the auto industry say
they can only get 35 miles per gallon. Or they cant make a smaller lighter vehicle.

It takes more people doing a job to solve the problem. Then it takes to say we don't need to do anything.

I do agree that it would be a smart thing for man to try and stop global climate change.

Now bare with me on this thought so I can make a point. I’m not sure that trying to stop global warming makes a great deal of sense. The earth has been changing from the day it was formed. Nature has always adapted to the changes. From natures stand point, there really is no correct state the earth is meant to be in. Nature takes what ever condition the earth happens to be at the time and adapts to it. Currently, we are in the middle of one of the biggest and fastest phase of extinction the earth has ever experienced. Does that mean that the earth is doomed? Not in the least. The earth will ca...

Nature takes what ever condition the earth happens to be at the time and adapts to it. Currently, we are in the middle of one of the biggest and fastest phase of extinction the earth has ever experienced. Does that mean that the earth is doomed? Not in the least. The earth will carry on and nature will adapt and create new life to fill the earth with again. In fact, I predict that man will eventually cause so much damage to his environment that he will cause his own extinction. After nature has purged the cause of this great phase of extinction, man, nature will do what it has done time and time again, refill the earth with new life. The earth and nature will survive mans short existence on this earth. Earth day is not named correctly. The earth will survive. It should be called “Save Mans Little Ass By Trying To Stop Man’s Stupidity Of Destruction Before He Causes His Own Extinction Day”. (cont)

So, I think what we should be trying focus on is making sure we stop killing off man’s life support system. The temp change will be a pain in the butt if it is true but to be honest, man and nature can adapt to such a change. What man really needs to focus on is stopping population growth, over fishing, rain forest preservation, etc. In other words, man needs to figure out just how much nature must be present before the whole life support system fails killing man off. We don't need to do these things because we are “left winged tree huggers”. We need to do these things to makes sure we don't cause our own extinction.

If you think that we will never cause our own extinction, think abo...

If you think that we will never cause our own extinction, think about this, at any one time, the world only has about a 30 day food supply. If all food production, crops and stock animals, were to suddenly come to a stop, the earth only has enough food to feed the world for about 30 days. That is sobering to think about. I get that number form my brother in law who has is doctorate in Agriculture, food production. (Dr. Steven King) So I am very confident in this number... he knows his subject.

My point is, yes, we should try to stop global climate change but it should be just a part of an even larger plan to make major changes in mans way of life so that man does not cause his own extinction.
