We're in a lot of trouble. We're killing the environment and our Mother Earth.

Bullshit!

Penn and Teller take on environmentalists in this episode of their Bullshit! series.

Funny and informative...

The car ban in this key nexus point of New York is having a ripple effect even now. It is meant to cause a great economic shock which will then be used to provide the justification for calls for ever greater control. It has been used here, without the carbon label as far back as about twelve years ago. In September of 1999, for a day 150 European cities banned cars from stretches of roads for a day.

This did not take, but as always with the agenda, in standard Terminator fashion, it will robotically keep on rolling until stopped.

Throughout the ancient world, the dictators known as royalty imposed strict regulations and controls on the populace. Rome had the wearing of the color purple restricted exclusively to the emperors, to broadcast their claimed divinity.

The environmental situation on the planet isn’t really very good. We have the cutting down of much of the Amazon rainforest, the trees of which produce 20% of the world’s oxygen, the rampant use of depleted uranium, which is anything but depleted and is leaving Iraq filled with trillions of microparticles of carcinogenic death sweeping over Iraq, and the Eastern Garbage patch, a mass of plastic in the Pacific covering an area twice the size of Texas. Fish have routinely been found dead with bottle caps and all sorts of other crap in their stomachs. Do we get the mainstream media and the big environmental groups holding their big rallies and beating down the mainstream media and the politicians’ doors about that?

Instead, we get another load of trash — that the source of global warming is human-caused carbon emissions and that the world scientific community is in unanimous agreement about the “fact”.

Chris Landsea, member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, resigned, issuing an open letter stating:

Severn Cullis-Suzuki is one of the world's most remarkable youth activists. Born and raised in Vancouver, Severn has been working on environmental and social justice issues since kindergarten. At age 9, she and some friends started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They traveled to 1992's Rio Earth Summit, where 12 year-old Severn gave a powerful speech that deeply affected the leaders who heard it.
