A good video about the global warming debate
 
This is good stuff. It settles the matter pretty cleanly without
dragging the it's happening / it's not happening debate into the fray.

Very entertaining, well presented, logical conclusion. Two faults, however:
1) The presumption was not addressed that if GW is not happening, "we" take
action, (presuming we can alter climate,) and accidentally turn this dirt
ball into an ice ball. If we can cool the planet if it's warming, couldn't
we do the same if it's not warming?? 2) "The end of mankind as we know it"
was a cautionary statement. As we're all going to end up worm food or ashes
anyway, what's the big deal? It's not like we are going to be around the
corner in a hundred years peaking at what the hell's going on.

Other than that, it makes sense. Now if only Asshole Al would get the hell
out of the picture.

For me, I'm trading in my main and genoa and getting a couple smoky big
diesels in a planing hull. Also think I have a few cans of old Freon-based
lens blow-off'er around I can shoot off on in the marina.

Put those freon cans to good use, man.

Can't you still get those little plastic horns that hook to the top on
the can, to make noise with?

Typical Canadian. If it's not a hockey stick, they can't operate it.

Yeah, I don't think that the presenter ever thought he would make a
difference to someone so narrow minded.

I think narrow minded simpletons were his target audience.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
