I posted this in one of the other parts of this documentary, but I'll say it again here: the human race is amazingly resiliant. So long as there is a serviceable amount of Oxygen in the air, we'll get by just fine.

Another point to consider is that anything that happens is simply a global correction: mother earth has played this whole game before. It's just bigger and faster now, and who knows? Maybe the recoil back into a relatively cool climate will be much quicker as well? The only things we know about this planet are the things that have already happened. We can say that x is going to happen, but it is scientifically impossible (even arrogant) under current technology to speculate anything -- only to report what we're seeing and try to do what's best.

That said, perhaps scaring the balls off of people is the best way to get them to try to do what's best...

ihavenoclue69069: "thats fucking crazy. its just nature balancing itself out. nature will always win to create equilibrium. i think this has happened b4. well it has, like the ice age, world got covered in ice and stuff then all that snow reflected the sun and warmed it up and melted and it stopped when it reached equilibrium, but this time instead of it naturally happening, humans caused it."

Sure, nature will find an equilibrium - but don't forget that nature, in terms of planetary change, has incredible patience and no compassion for the creatures that live on the planet. 98% of all types of life that have ever existed are extinct, adding humans to that list as the planet takes millions or perhaps a billion years to swing back into a hospitable enviroment, would be entirely normal.

Is that the kind of normality worth not cutting back on our fossil fuel burning for?

Certain Shade of Green is an Incubus song. Fuck Green Day.

"its just nature balancing itself out."
You're retarded. Nature isn't balancing itself out. 1) This is all being caused by human pollution. Nature isn't in control here. 2) It's not balanced; global warming is winning anyway. The temperature is still going up. 3) Nature will eventually reach equillibrium. Wanna know how? By heating way the fuck up and killing you, me, and everyone else on the planet. Once humans are extinct and all of our cars and factories are destroyed, the climate will return to something habitable and maybe a few million years later the bacteria that survived (if any) will be able to evolve into multicellular life again.

Or we could just not destroy ourselves.

That is very depressing.Just think about it:"We are living in the world with no future" or "rather f'd up future".

Great upload man
As a parent nothing is more scary then worrying about what type of future your kids will have.
If only people would actually react, instead of just talking about it for a week or two, then it's all just forgotten....

his 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! :)

The world has seen many catastrophic changes in its history. Many changes killed off species, and many new species evolved over time. The world's climate has gone through significant changes over and over again.

Humans have only been around for about 100,000 years, but perhaps our species isn't as superior as we think. Our time on the Earth may be short-lived, but our passing will be for the better, and the planet will live on. New forms of life will emerge to whatever the new atmosphere accomodates.

Our mental superiority over other animals has led to our demise. But the Earth is just a speck within our solar system. Our solar system is but a speck within our galaxy. And our galaxy is but a speck within the universe. We are insignificant to all but ourselves, and our passing will be inconsequential.

1) Don't buy a house the size of Texas and air condition it.
2) Drive a smaller car. Or ride your bike. Get some freaking exercise.
3) Vote green, or at least vote greener than you do now. Or just vote, you nitwit.
4) Buy light-colored shingles when you re-roof your house (or business) to increase the albedo effect.
5) Buy a two-directional fan for your bedroom window, instead of a window air conditioner.
6) Replace your old, oil or gas burning furnace with the highest efficiency model you can afford.
7) Contact Gosmar, the clean-air alien, and ask him to please exchange our atmosphere with a planet that is experiencing global cooling.

We are fucking tiny so STFU.
