Global Warming - Do you care?

Seen a paper about it :
"Overall, you shoud watch the film but not forget a point never showed : causes of global warming are also social".

Yes the environment is getting destroyed but I hate the example you gave. Di Caprio and Obama are both criminals. Since Obama was in office he doubled the USA's national debt to almost $20 trillion.

If you really care about what is real, watch these. It is important to be critical and not just get brainwashed from liberal schooling and mass media.

oh god. so early in the morning to read all of these comments.
yes we should care.
no, it's not fake.

i'm too lazy to argue

I care, but sadly we can't change anything

All those companies with 10000 maschines destroy everything, I wish they would stop rushing like ~100 years ago, slow and nice

Yeah, we're pretty much already fucked at this point so we should try doing our best but don't get your hopes too high. Our ancestors screwed up the weather and then tossed the ball to us and yelled "fix it!", not the nicest legacy.

We will die from a nuclear war way before Global Warming becomes relevant enough to end the world.

It is NOT global warming caused by man, it's natural change which occurs all the time.

Obviously we should care but we are not going to.
In my opinion i dont care since everybody is still with cars and those things that make the world worst, i always wanted to see how we destroy ourselves

oh boy, human "dumbass" nature at its best. "were not doing anyyyyyyyyyything wrong". you have to be really stuck up to think you could just chop down forest after forest, burn zillions of gallons of fuel, spray unlimited amounts of chemicals into the air and have ZERO adverse affects on the planet. the same kind of jackasses that would go out and pour their cars oil out in the yard

I care! So are the bunnies! <3

The whole debate seems to be based on the quaint Victorian notion of nature being in a beautiful, harmonious equilibrium, rather than the tumultuous, gritty fight to the death with ever-changing battle lines that actually happens. Yes, I believe that the world is warmer than it was a thousand years ago, but the world has been getting warmer ever since the last ice age 11,000 years ago. Only 20,000 years ago the Great Barrier Reef was dry land, and when the world was warmer, what is now Australia's arid interior used to be a sea . Climate change is just the latest in the list of big issues for those of us living beyond mere subsistence to worry about. Before that it was the hole in the ozone layer, HIV/AIDS, nuclear armageddon, communism (seriously, America? WTF?), etc.

I think it's sensible not to waste energy, but I don't like the moral condescension that often accompanies the message, and I don't agree that it is justified. It really takes government legislation to make a significant difference, because industry doesn't change unless there is a dollar in it. I am concerned that people are trying to find an easy answer and blaming the wrong thing. Carbon dioxide isn't the problem - it's a plant growth stimulant, so it is a self-regulating system, to some extent. Carbon can not be created or destroyed on earth and it doesn't leave the atmosphere, so the quantity of carbon (upon which all life is based) is fixed. If carbon dioxide was really the enemy, we should be binding carbon up in stable compounds - i.e. making lots of plastic.

People (or governments, rather, e.g. Australia and USA) like to bang on about China, but their new vehicle emissions laws are amongst the strictest in the world and they really don't like to look bad. I worked with an engineer that helped developed a new Jaguar V8 engine (they "leveraged" the work that Toyota did in developing their 1UZ-FE), and he said that the Chinese emissions limits were their benchmark, because they were tighter than their local standards in the UK at the time. Just three days ago, a mate repeated an anecdote told to him by one of the senior executives of the iron ore mining company he works for. He had been in a meeting with a Chinese steel company executive in Beijing in the lead up to their Olympics. Apparently, the prevailing wind was blowing pollution from one of their mills over the area of the city they were in, so the steel exec got on the phone and shut the plant down. This would never happen in Australia or USA - it's a multi-week operation to get it back online, and he would have lost his job.

I don't agree that solar and wind power are any more "renewable" than petroleum, because future energy is still dependent on future solar radiation. The renewal cycle time may be shorter, but that is all. Fossil fuels are just "yesterday's" solar energy. I remember an interesting point during a presentation by the professor of the alternative energy centre at one of the local universities. It was about 15 years ago now, and I realise that photovoltaeic cell technology generally improves in accordance with Moore's Law, as with other semiconductor technology, but he said that the amount of energy collected by a solar panel in its lifetime would not cover the amount of energy consumed in its construction, in part due to the ultraclean environments required. That doesn't mean that governments shouldn't provide incentives, because otherwise the technology won't improve. The same goes for electric and hybrid cars. Whilst they have low or no tailpipe emissions, the power still must be generated somewhere, and the amount of energy and emissions involved in mining, refining, constructing, and disposing of the batteries and the rest of the car mean that if you really want to something for the planet, just keep driving that inefficient old shitbox instead of buying a new car. The same goes for vegetarianism and veganism. It is not the moral high ground that their proponents like to take - according to the World Wildlife Fund, the greatest threat to the world's rainforests is clearing for palm oil plantations. Furthermore, a strictly vegetarian diet is not sustainable for omnivores like humans. Vitamin B12 is essential for life and there are no plant sources of active Vitamin B12. Herbivores get their B12, and a significant proportion of their protein by digesting gut bacteria. In non-ruminant herbivores such as rabbits, bacterial fermentation occurs downstream of the small intestine (where nutrients are absorbed) in the cecum, which humans have as a vestigial appendix. To access these nutrients, non-ruminant herbivores must eat excreted (yep, out the anus) cecotropes (don't try this at home, kids). The life and death of a wild animal is not generally the carefree one that people like to imagine is longed for by those slaughtered for food. Without a stable source of food and protection for predators, daily life is trying not to starve to death or be torn apart by predators, or fatally breaking a leg in the escape and suffocating under their own weight when they can't stand. Death is usually one of the above or disease.

So, I actually support adopting energy conservation measures, but I will argue with people that try to tell me I'm morally inferior for not adopting their favoured methodology. If people really cared, they wouldn't change their cars or mobile phones for fashion reasons and they wouldn't own more than three pairs of shoes.

The movie was a good approach and managed to get some attention more than other documentaries about the same matter but I bet most of the people clicked away after realizing that it's a documentary, so the hope in a move powered by the masses is probably too optimistic, and I feel that steps like what the movie was suggesting should've been done at least 15 years ago, now, they're hoping that the tobacco,oil and food companies will change their actions/the masses will stop consuming as before?
Yeah, sure thing.
Deep shit, here we come.

Those who say they care probably still buy too much food, use too much electricity and throw out crap without recycling.

yes, i care because without global warming there wouldnt be life on earth and it would be like a much colder planet. However current warming is much faster than it should be. There were times when planet Earth not had any ice on poles and in the time of the dinosaurus even Canada was like a tropical jungle.

Each day I spend in this god-forsaken university studying architecture with the most retarded teachers ever conceived makes me accept global warming and our entire species dying off a little big more.

To all of u who cares, I just wonder- Where are your Gods now?

Yes I care - Global warming means higher sea levels.
Higher Sea levels means more man made reefs as sea levels rise.
More reefs means more fishing spots.
More fishing? BRING IT ON!

Do I care about the environment? Of course I do.
Do I recycle? Yes, despite the area I live making it as much of a pain in the butt as possible to do so.
Do I realize the minimal impact I have on the environment? Yep. It's going to take everyone together to make a difference.
Do I believe man is the only cause of global warming? No, not at all.

Cleaning up the world takes money, and that's money most of us (as average people) don't have. It's going to take a much bigger commitment on the part of manufacturers and transportation to have any real impact on the world. Hell, the city I live in even stopped providing recycling bins for trash pick-up, and we're now required to drive our recyclables in and drop them off.

IMHO when the Earth has had enough, it'll kill us all and start over.

Global Warming is very real, man made pollution is very real, anyone who claims otherwise is an idiot. All it takes is for you to look at the air in places like Beijing and you can see the harm we're causing. Of course we're not the only cause, but we're speeding up things to a dangerous degree.

Although that documentary also makes some very spurious claims itself. With regards to monetization of making the Earth habitable again, it shows how stupid we as a race are. Things are dying, the place we live is dying, we're killing ourselves, but we won't stop because it costs a number on a screen that we invented to trade natural resources with.

Things are changing though, people are coming up with inventive new ideas and ways to fix the problems we've caused over the decades. So I think we'll only carry on improving the quality of the environment and the preservation of species. Unfortunately America set us back a bit when they elected a president who denies its even a thing. Hopefully they can vote him out again before he does any lasting damage.

Don't care at all.

You only live once so don't give a fuck about anything else except making your life fun for yourself and not ruining it for others.

And hey climate changes naturally not just because of humans so why care anyway for all we know we could have a new ice age tommorow or we could get hit by a comet.

only when my car say that i do 50L+ per 100 km

i dont care anymore ,

because other lands give a f*** about it.
