An absolutely amazingly well done documentary on the subject of global warming or climate change. Not a conspiracy video but an actual documentary with some pretty amazing facts. This is a must watch video for everyone.

I think there is something to the "global warming" hysteria, but I also think it's gotten way out of hand, like McCarthyism in the '50's. It's an excuse for some people to make millionsbillions or even trillions of dollars, and the government likes it because it gives them more excuses to control you.

Although my belief that there is something to global warming has weakened considerably.

Pollution of the atmosphere is heating up the earth. Ice on the poles and the mountains is melting, raising the sea level. Many islands are already sunken. These are facts.

Whatever you say, there will always be someone speaking against it, for whatever reason. In this case they are wrong, don't believe them.

Watch this entire video before you comment. It has some very good, scientific data. I don't expect everyone to accept it, but at least give it a chance and watch it straight through with an open mind. Some of the scientific data is quite interesting.

I can tell that some are replying against this before even watching it.

This is going to be an even bigger flamewar than our religious threads.

What more evidence do you need:

It's absolutely true that many "Green" movements are just scams for more money. But scams do not disprove logic. Just because the Red Cross steals aid money, doesn't mean people aren't starving or dying of malaria around the world.

My thoughts exactly.

EDIT:

Also OP, you're in Canada. You should be able to see it from your house.

I don't doubt CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas, it isn't even the only or the strongest greenhouse gas. I just don't see that it's been proven human activity is a driving factor in the planet's changing temperatures, considered it's been well known to be cyclical, and it's following such patterns much more closely than the doomsayers' predictions. Also, as Arthur mentioned, editing past temperature recordings doesn't help their cause.

I think the argument goes that the CO2 raises temperatures slightly which increases water vapor, which in turn is the major "greenhouse gas".

Are you claiming we can measure other planets temperatures to a fraction of a degree Celsius? I doubt the readings are that accurate here (especially 100 years ago), let alone millions of miles away. Actually the sun seems to be rather weak the last few years, so another Mini Ice Age might be coming.

Understatement of the year. The atmosphere of Venus is more than 96% CO2, and it's 100 times as dense as well.

Here's 112 links to the published hysteria. It wasn't "just a couple of articles" as some claim.

This isn't one guy. Watch it, seriously, it interviews lots of scientists who have studied this and presents their data. Some of it surprised me, like the real source of warming (and cooling) trends which the data matched precisely. Watch the video to to find out where. This isn't one man, just a well done documentary with lots of legitimate scientists commenting. I will admit, I think the title could have been better done, but the documentary is not really like what the title would suggest.

Just please watch it, it's not what you think. It's really quite interesting and makes some good points. A few I never thought of.

I won't argue the issue, I just wanted to share some data and opinions from legitimate scientists that have studied this (and been silenced to a certain degree) of the opposite end of the coin on the issue which you don't hear. And I feel that in all fairness, everyone should at least give this a fair chance to explain their point of view and show you their data. Then once you have heard both sides, you can decide which you feel has a stronger case. But so far we just hear one side of the debate, and that in my opinion, is not very fair at all. Especially with what is at stake, and I'm not talking about the climate here, watch it to see what else.

Lets see if it is possible for people in these forums to be fair and then reply without swearing.

Consider this: almost all scientists (or if you will: experts, people that do this for a living and has spent years studying it) in the field agrees that global warning caused by human activities is a real thing. But you, a layperson, choose to believe a few outliers instead. Why would you do that?

It's a bit like with GMOs. People don't like the idea of it, so they want to pretend that there's something wrong with it. But there probably isn't, it's just that there is a lot of scare mongering and conspiracy talk going about. Poeple are often so inflexible when it comes to relating to new ideas.

Basically, you should start with an open mind and follow the science, otherwise you are just setting yourself up for embarrassment

My house is already 50 cm below sea level, and that is certainly not going to get better. I'm happy that at least my government is taking this problem seriously: NL Climate Agenda Of course we should be doing even more

Clever people have a houseboat.

Houseboats in Berlin.

Arguing against science with the faults of television is not going to work.

I've discussed with a "clima-sceptic" years ago. He seemed to grasp the subject better than me, so I had to resort to saying that I didn't understand the topic well enough to competently argue about it. I asked him where he learned all he knew. It turned out it was an American website by an obscure "institute" or "center" in Washington. About 4 mins of googling revealed that this "institute" received a large sum of $$$ from ExxonMobile. They were even so nice as to publish a big list of donations. After I showed this to him, he went on to say that none of it was relevant, because all the mainstream-scientists formed a large conspiracy, too, with big monetary interests behind them.
