Re: the great global warming swindle
I'm glad someone pointed out the editorial bias in this 'documentary'.
Still, the lead climatologist in France's government recently changed his opinion from a, "yes humans cause global warming" to "we're not 100% sure yet". As a result he said that maintaining biodiversity by ceasing overpoaching in the seas and controlling toxic substances is far more important.
No matter what the outcome with regard to global warming, the idea of a society concerned with sustainability is without a doubt important to human survival. At the very least the global warming frenzy is just an omen; a reminder that we cannot live on fossil fuels indefinitely. Without the climate scare there would be much less research in solar and wind technologies which are on the verge of breaking the cost barrier currently preventing them from powering households across the country.
The video makes some good points but it certainly changes nothing about the way I will continue to live my life. I'll still recycle, I'll still bike to work and school every day instead of drive and I'll still be an avid proponent of electric vehicles and high fuel efficiency. The only way mankind can hope to survive the tidal wave of technology that we are on the verge of is if we consider more than our consumer impulses when we live our lives.
