  • the earth's climate ...

    the earth's climate has been changed by humans for thousand of years. ever since the first forests were cut down to make way for farms. this changed climate patterns, to what end nobody knows. also, china is building 7 new coal plants week. being energy efficient may make you feel good, but does very little for the enviroment.

    ok, it is fact that we as humans have been changing our climate for hundreds of years. way back since the start of the neolithic era, when farming was invented. the loss of forest and jungle changed weather patterns to what end nobody knows. also, china is building 7 new coal factories a month. buying an energy efficient car will make you feel good about yourself, but wont do much to save ur enviroment.

  • It's about the ...

    It's about the affect the industry has in addition to what we already hear about. It's called bringing additional facts to the table. All of this adds to the problem, and shortsightedness or an unwillingness to see the entire picture is just because your Hummer does more damage is really, well, republican of you!

  • volcanoes and ...

    volcanoes and metabolic by-products produce way more green house gases than we could ever do. thats not to say global warming isnt happening(cause it is). but it is how we have changed the landscape on a global scale that is realy causing global warming. so people, buy land rovers and monster trucks, and dont feel guilty about being in an air plane cause it hardly makes adifference...

    According to whom? I think this video is making a larger point too about death as a big business and alternatives for individuals to think about.
