You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way.

I wonder if when we have a huge sudden dying off of plantlife and mammals will all the republicans will still just call it part of the natural cycle of life.. Just like carbon dioxide....

I'm sure the coral reefs in the caribian that has been there for thousands of years dying off all of a sudden in the last few years is nothing to worry about...We should just buy ourselves some Hummers and not worry about a thing.

So what,should we believe in Global dimming?
And also i guess we didn't get an answer as of how are we experiencing Global Dimming with Global Warming.Great paradox.

I am waiting to get answer in part 2 or 3.

4/5 for the video.

That's crazy we lost approx 15% of the sun worldwide, and the climate is still warming slightly... if we weren't riding all the jets around causing global dimming we would all be baking like fried eggs... holy crap that's fucked global warming is 10X worse than we ever thought.

The human race has nothiong to compare itself to except itself, and we all know our corruption is getting in hte way of our innovation and we all want it to stop, therefore we cannot tell anyone that the human race hasn't gotten far, we've no other race to compare to! There are probably tribes of aliens out there who would be amazed and awed by cars let alone global observations. Do not try an lay dooms on humanity because of opinions.

Have to watch to other two vids but i think it could be true, too much has alternate possibilities tho.

but wow if they didn't know heat wasnt the main factor in evaporation i dont think this sky-is-falling theory is going to pan out.

This is why we all need to take responsibility for the planet ourselves by changing our own actions. Here are a few suggestions:

a) Recycle - in my neighbourhood it's possible to cut down your weekly trash by half using council recycling bins, although many people still don't bother! More recycling means less landfills and less pollution. Lobby your local government if neccessary to get recycling scheme in place.

b) Buy a more economical car.

c) Take the car less, share rides, or use more public transport. Walk or bike (as a last resort for the lazy!)

d) Vote for a green party. Lets face it, most parties are shit, and ultimately do more or less the same thing once in power, so vote for a party that has green policies.

I fear a lot of people who are alarmed at this video will just say "OMG this is terrible" and then just go about their lives, not realising that they are actually the problem. If everyone makes small changes like a few from above, then we can do something about global warming.

Lecture over! :)

Simple really, Einstein said it best, "For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction." I think mankind needs to get together and beg
Mother Nature for a 'mulligan' although I'm pretty sure what her answer
would be.
Just in case I'm going to start saving my $ for a seat on one of Richard
Branson's spaceships.

Nice post 5 of 5 for all three, that's a total of 15 of 15.

Funny, for all this research in the 1970s people were scared of 'global cooling'

to tell the truth, it's rather interesting to see all this happening now... especially the rise in wars and natural disasters around the world... kinda makes u think about the christian belief of how the world will end in the book of revelations...

increase in wars, increase in natural disasters... i say the human race has pretty much screwed itself over... and we're juz living on borrowed time...

Get a REAL check in the mail every month

You get money for filling out surveys, usually $1 each, but they add up. There are also free trials for more than $10 each. The surveys are really easy and only take a couple minutes. Each month they send u a real check in the mail for your earnings. This site is 100% legit. You can check the forums for proof of payment. Its just a good way to make some extra cash.
