Very convincing. He is correct in his conclusion. But he fails to realize that humans are not entirely logical beings. Basically its a gamble with the same odds as a slot machine, seeing that global warning is an accepted theory by most scientists. If everyone used his theory or mode of operation when making decisions, the world would undoubtably be a better place. But many people do not make the right decision. Tens of millions of people gamble and many lose their jobs, houses, families, etc.Unfortunetly politicians are not more responsible than these people.

There you are utterly wrong! It's far from accepted by "most" scientists, only by most "scientists" (meaning junk science adherents like Al Gore).
Unless of course you mean the knowledge that without the atmosphere trapping heat the temperature on this planet would be roughly -15C on average instead of +15C, but that's not what those "scientists" mean when they say "Global Warming".

But you are excused, the propaganda is indeed relentless and we all know what constantly bombarding people with propaganda while preventing the publication of the truth will do.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

From what I understand, the average temperature of the Earth has changed only very slightly over the last millennium.. I mean, obviously humans are not taking very good care of the planet.. and global warming is probably occurring; however, it is so at such a small rate that it is almost negligible. I don't see problems with global warming in the immediate future.

Over the last Millenium? You mean you've never seen anything on the Medieval Warm Period, or the Little Ice Age?

Who exactly are you talking about? My dad is a "real" scientist. He believes in global warming. My friends dad works at NOAA as a programmer/scientist and he believes in global warming, So who exactly are these scientists that do not believe in global warming? Regardless, the video advocates the proper course of action.

Question: Doesn't the fact they 'believe' in it tend to indicate that it's not settled fact?

Actually most scientific papers that address global warming agree that it is happening.
