The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See (part 1 of 8)
Posted by: wonderingmind42

Video duration: 557 seconds

And probably the most boring. But then again, when I told that to my students and had them give me feedback, most said that if you followed along with what the presenter (a professor emeritus of Physics at Univ of Colorado-Boulder) is saying, it's quite easy to pay attention, because it is so compelling.

read about Thomas Robert Malthus he predicted overpopulation centuries ago. this person is like the architect from the matrix, there is a lot more to the story than it seems. these people are the baddies and you are worth nothing to them your just a number. time to take the red pill or the blue. the rabbit hole is goes waaaay down if I were you I'd stick with the blue pill since there is no solution yet,enjoy your virtual malthusian beef steak the real one tastes nasty.

By: toeg1. on 28 Nov 08, 23:18:44
Bald, This is simple and taught early on, agreed. It's also forgotten early on. In the US especially, we have to be told what to think, how to think about it, and what conclusions we must draw from it. The analytical mind, which this video is all about, is kept dormant from a very early age. It is important to awaken that mind and use it, as is shown here, to analyze what we are told and to compare our results with the spin we're given. It's too bad that most will never see this.

By: ourearthhome. on 27 Nov 08, 20:08:40
kernchen013: My suspicion is that those who oppose a gold backed money system have tried to put one over on us. The world had a gold standard system for a very long time and it seemd to work quite well until it was sabotaged. Recently I disocvered that the problem you raise was handled by bills of exchange that allowed the existing supply of gold to back up a credit system that could expand as large as needed at any time. The bills of exchange was the clearing mechanism. Google Antal Fekete.

gold has ...
By: Kernchen013. on 27 Nov 08, 17:28:41
gold has limitations, due to the fact that the economic growth can overexeed the amount of gold that exists. We need a barter trade system, where currency is used to mirror the economy. Speak, if we need more currency to exchange goods, then a by the people controlled bank should do this. Third Reich had a good economic system.

By: ourearthhome. on 26 Nov 08, 23:27:48
deprofundis442:Good question. On the other side of what promises to be the total destruction and discrediting or the assumptions of the old regime we will need a new monetary policy and a new tax policy. Money will have to based on something of real value like gold. Taxation will have to be focused on a value created by society itself the taking of which works no disincentive for anything anyone does. Taxation of land values in all its many forms is that kind of taxation.

By: Kernchen013. on 26 Nov 08, 13:54:06
they need this inability of the people to understand the exponential function because our entire credit/debt system runs on it. If everybody would know, no one would ever get a credit to buy a house or office...

Imbecile. Your comments make George Bush and Sarah Palin look intelligent.

By: OscarLimaMike. on 26 Nov 08, 10:03:40
Thank you for posting this video I have realized for many years that over population and over consumption is the root of most of out problems but politically there is a deafening silence on this issue. Read Anthony Burgess's excellent novel "The wanting seed" The idea that infinite growth in a finite system is acceptable let alone good is quite frankly insane. It is human greed and willful ignorance in action. The two systems were this ethos exist that come to mind are capitalism and cancer.

70%/year rate here ...
By: azapta. on 25 Nov 08, 13:05:14
70%/year rate here means that if the current rate holds, after one year it will be 70% larger. But the growing rate grows as the quantity itself grows and after one year you have 100% growth. If you expect %70 after one year you have to assume 53% at the beginning of the year. That is to say that the growth happens gradually and doesn't just jump after the year ends. The formula works better for smaller numbers because with smaller numbers you directly assume that the change happens gradually.

Thanks, but it ...
By: PhotographerPeter. on 25 Nov 08, 08:42:33
Thanks, but it still doesn't hold. If something grows 70% a year, according to your formula it will double in a year. That doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I guess the ...
By: goldensleeves. on 25 Nov 08, 04:20:41
Yeah, I guess the denominator must be x < 70. Perhaps it works if you use the formula as 70/(x - (30n), where "x" is the original denominator but "n" is the number of times that 70 is exceeded. For example, if 70 is NOT exceeded, n is 0 and, like the video, 70/(x-30(0)) holds. Now, suppose 70 is exceeded once, then n is 1 and 70/(x-30(1)) works. This solves your example. Likewise, if 70 is exceeded twice, n is 2 and 70/(x-30(2)) works. I just made this formula up. Is it correct?

By: PhotographerPeter. on 24 Nov 08, 09:42:04
If you know something is growing a 100% a year, you know -without using any arithmetic- it's doubled after a year, But if you use the formula of Bartlett than it has doubled after 70/100= 0,7 year. The formula doesn't hold!

The exponential ...
By: ourearthhome. on 23 Nov 08, 22:32:11
The exponential function applies to both population and the increase of the money supply based on debt. The solution to both problems is the full taxation of land values which would return the value of land created by population to pay for public services needed by that population and it would end land speculation which is/was the root cause of the real estate boom and bust which set off the financial collapse currently in progress.

By: vhostym. on 23 Nov 08, 11:08:46
It's not the man on man relationships, sex out of wedlock or all of those. It's the main pervasive mindset of the rich to stay richer. That those "other" people don't have what we have, so let's not give them any. I am truly sad for anyone who can't see that we KEEP entire continents such as africa poor on PURPOSE. Although it might seem random at a glance, it is usually war or a despotic ruler that's causing distress. As long as money is the sole god, we are lost. Think about that. -V

Nature created the problem of hiv to control the population of Africa? What proof do we have of this assertion? How do we know it was not caused by the tainted vaccines given to Africans by the World Health Organization and Bill Gates? Vaccines are provably toxic and have caused enormous untold damage to the human population. Weakened immune systems are the result of vaccines and half of aids patients don't even have test + hiv, so what kind of malarkey are we witnessing in this pronouncement?

When he talks about prices, these are nominal and thus provide no useful information. With regard to population, there are many articles around proving a stong negative relationship between education and birth rates. The developed world now has a problem with the 'aging of the population'.

By: biped19. on 28 Nov 08, 04:41:32
Good points. But how can income continue to grow infinitely? This seems connected to the logic of what this professor is stating. Second, Ive begun to notice that even educated people are having bigger families today. Better education would help poorer continents like Africa. But, one has to wonder if other factors like culture etc. play a part in people's decision to over produce and consume.

By: goldensleeves. on 25 Nov 08, 04:44:34
Well, if we stop births humans go extinct. One possible solution is to make the birth rate always equal to the death rate. Yet, I think I agree with Zami900 that resource distribution is much more impartant than overpopulation. For instance, if we figured out how to get a high energy efficiency ratio from sunlight then we could all have a completely free, noncompetitive distribution of energy. That's UNquestionably possible. That would reduce wars, recessions, poverty, suffering, etc etc...

By: Zami9000. on 24 Nov 08, 23:40:51

People follow other people as if these people are infallible and don't you question why and they'll look at u like ur crazy. The teacher guides you to you not to them.

By: guitmusic11. on 11 Oct 08, 19:57:04
There's different "levels" of probability to be dealt with on the issue of global warming. Is the earth cooling, then if it is is it a result of human actions, then if it is a result of human actions, what is the probability that the impacts would be as large as some have projected.Under this logic, we could end up with a distorted probability. What we have to do is accept that the connection between each "level" results in a different curve on the next level.

By: guitmusic11. on 11 Oct 08, 19:48:32
I'm sad to say It but I believe I see a flaw in your risk analysis. The analogy of a lottery ticket just isn't going to cut it. When you deal with real world policy and implications of disasters you have to look at it from a mildly different perspective. You can't just keep multiplying probabilities until you've accounted for all possible variables and levels. You also shouldn't grant 100% impacts either.... cont'd

By: cstrand31. on 15 Oct 08, 22:30:47
unfortunately what you're describing is either ignorance or just pure laziness to actually "click the link" and follow the source,gather its information and then apply it to the credibility spectrum. Ted:"But why do they put a guarantee on the box?" Tommy: "Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time." - Tommy Boy

Well, yes. For you ...
By: nobagav. on 15 Oct 08, 08:07:30
Well, yes. For you or me the credibility scale formalizes something we already knew. What I was trying to get at is a problem on a society wide scale. A great deal of information comes with a "seal of approval" quote or endorsement, which is often false. In the emails I mentioned, the originator is so confident that including the link is all he needs to do that he didn't even counterfeit the link. If you click it, the link goes straight to a disproof of the email's premise.

Side note: You often use the phrases like "Go check it out for yourself." While I love this sentiments, I have noticed a problem with it in media awareness. I'm going to go anecdotal here (yeah, bad me). My grandfather likes to fwd political emails to the rest of the family. But when told they might not be reliable, he says they include links to debunking sites, and so it must be true, even though he doesn't follow the link. ie: "don't trust me" = Trust me! What's your take on this problem?

So instead of rehashing the debate here, go watch the new version titled "HOW IT ALL ENDS" for what has so far turned out to be an IRREFUTABLE argument for action on climate change. Sound impossible?

He did a four-part one on action ("The Solution") and a two-part finale on information warrioring ("Your Mission" -- this is something anyone can do, even if you're still in school). At the very least, though, pass the link to How It All Ends around as much as you can. We need to get this message out.

By: TempestStormwind. on 15 Dec 07, 18:05:59
This is actually relatively easy to figure out, by the way. It's explained in the How It All Ends videos (See Wonderingmind42's account; How It All Ends is a revised version of this argument.) The action needed is easily determined, and if we act and nothing happens, it's *still* possible to determine if that's because it was bunk or because our actions worked. (It's probably too late to avoid all of it, though.)

By: cjtudor. on 15 Dec 07, 09:04:49
I like his rational and thorough approach. One niggling question is -to what degree should governments, companies & everyday people act? As hard as it is to know today how much of a negative effect we've had on the environment, it'll be just as hard to detirmine how successfully we're turning it around. Is it enough for a country to sacrifice 10% of it's economy for the cause? Maybe it should be 20% or 30%. How will we know? This isn't a criticism of his model, just another complicating factor.

By: TempestStormwind. on 15 Dec 07, 08:01:29
No. Simply put, attacking someone *personally* while letting their argument stand gets you nowhere. It's similar to American football: Do you sack the QB *after* he's thrown the ball? No, you aim to intercept the ball. Ad hominem attacks don't get anyone anywhere. (Which is why I addressed his concerns instead of attacking him.)

And if you were wrong and there was no heaven or hell or God, did you waste your life. I think not.

By: cansurfer1. on 24 Nov 08, 19:47:09
In a binary (base 2)system, there are only 2 digits, 0 and 1. the first few numbers in binary are 0,1,10,11,100,101,110,111 etc. The binary system is commonly use in computers, along with the hexadecimal (base 16) system. If you have ever recieved an error report on your computer, you have probably seen a hexadecimal number(mixed numbers and letters). Wikapedia has a good explanation of both systems, just type Binary Numeral System.

What good does it do to not admit your mistakes? If you never admit you are doing something wrong, you will never learn to do it right, but stubbornly keep doing it wrong. You will never solve anything that way. Refusing to admit your mistakes is the dumbest thing you can do, yet a lot of people seem to think admitting their mistakes is a weakness. If you know you are doing something wrong, should you keep doing it wrong? Of course not. Also great videos. I will show them to people.

By: D4N1CU5. on 07 Nov 08, 15:20:38
Impact factor also has a lot to do with the size of the field that the journal is in. For example, Oceanography might be a small field with few journals, so if you publish in an oceanography journal with an impact factor of 1.0 or 2.0 that might still be the most prestigious journal in that field but you wouldn't say that the work is less valid because it wasn't in Science or Nature with their impact factor of 30-40 or whatever

By: D4N1CU5. on 07 Nov 08, 15:11:57
I'd just like to point out that impact factor has nothing to do with the quality of the work contained in the journal. More prestigious journals like science and nature tend to have higher impact articles like, discovery of a new hormone, new hominid species, new kingdom of life etc. Showing that your experiment works in a different cell line to the last paper you published won't get you into science but it is still valid work.

By: itCameFromEarth. on 25 Aug 08, 00:49:24
Impact factor is pretty cool; kind of like how Google rates the quality of web pages based on the number of links it finds to those pages in other pages. well ok i found - "bioscience(dot)org/services/impact15(dot)htm" which is a list of the top 1500 journals in order of impact factor and "nature" and "science" are at the top... "energy environment" isn't even on the list, so it seems you are correct; it's articles must not be widely recognized as valid. Thanks for responding.

By: itCameFromEarth. on 24 Aug 08, 09:19:02

Myth0. I assure you that I do not believe that the HS is the only piece of evidence. (Myth0 is therefore a myth in itself). Myth4. The HS was unveiled as the "smoking gun" of AR3. Problems with the HS certainly have not helped the cause. So when RC says "undermined", I would say - yes, to some extent it has. It causes doubt and raises the bar for everything else.

Reasons to make us neglect as whole lot of nonsense that proclaims itself to be "scientifically poven".

By: TempestStormwind. on 25 Feb 08, 00:08:24
Will do. In exchange, explain to me why, if you throw out all the studies that MacIntyre has his crusade directed against (that is, MBH 98/99, and Briffa, and I think one more), you still get the same conclusion. (The link I provided in my earlier reply -- which includes the hockey stick, straight out of AR4 -- summarizes this.) You act as if paleoclimate is the key here. It isn't. It's just part of the whole. I'd love to hear your responses to Myth 0 and Myth 4 here (tinyurl com/2m3hgx).

Your argument is that we lay people are too stupid to understand a complex system. Fair enough. Except you then want us stupid people to take action and argue with our policy makers in favor of action. Why? Because smart people can't convince them. Hmmmm. Also, the argument about whether climate change is human induced is moot and traps us into thinking the only solution is to undo human's cause, ie carbon emission. The solution doesn't care about the cause, it only demands something that works.

I do hope these videos get spread to all the parts of the world, and become discussed with family, friends and acquaintances.

It's just so terrifying that what you accuse the non-believers doing here is just something that mass media has turned the other way around: nowadays every hurricane or heat wawe is argument for that our planet is dangerously heating up. And consensus is really a kind of a big deal in sciences: Jurgen Habermas, german philosopher, even argued that it is THE way to achieve knowledge. And I think it is important to let some scientist play devil's advocate in peace, without fear for their career.

People are way too concerned about living the high-life & being the next internet millionaire these days. Lets face it, not everyone can be rich.

"THE ONLY CATEGORY LESS CREDIBLE THAN THESE GUYS IS SOME RANDOM JERK ON YOUTUBE .." This is the McIntyre who showed the issues with the Hockey Stick, identified the "Y2K" error in NASA GISS, is an IPCC reviewer and has recognised authority in paleo reconstructions. OK, he's a thorn in the side for Hansen and Schmidt and some others. Things can get tetchy. But McIntyre does a lot to improve the analysis. All in public with full disclosure. Naming him and deriding his work is shameful.

If you don't pay attention to your source, you won't note they all come from the same names. Nowhere is he insulting, bullying, or persecuting them. You are seeing what you want to see. Compare this to your Lord and Savior Steve MacIntyre, who openly insinuates fraud every chance he gets. THAT is an attack.

Because they have different views? Consider dignity and standards. What does this say about the quality of your arguments? I also said that you are better than this. Lack of action is proving me wrong.

By: guffpot. on 01 Mar 08, 21:31:14
If "you" ("A Scientist") believe Archibald's analysis is weak, it is constructive to reply and advise how to improve it. The onus is then on him to respond. If he accepts your concerns and improves the analysis, his work will either move towards or against you (maybe no change). You can then both reconsider your positions. If he doesn't agree with your concerns, you have the opportunity to challenge his work using your own analysis. (Assumes disclosre of data and methods.)

By: guffpot. on 01 Mar 08, 21:21:47
I often wonder whether both sides should just blank out 1998. It was an exceptional year and we all agree that one year is not statistically significant. If you are convinced by AGW, temptation is to include 1998 as evidence of warming. If you're not, temptation is to say "modest cooling trend in last 10 years". How about "no significant warming this side of the 1998 event".

It's a matter for E ...
By: guffpot. on 01 Mar 08, 21:14:29
It's a matter for E&E. M&M and Archibald have papers which are not really "deep climatology". M&M was more about technical statistics. GW is multidisciplinary. Even economics comes into play. If those who choose to label themselves "climatologists" decide to ignore certain journals, should we really call it a "serious, hard science". In reality, I think you are reaching out for the "good-peer-review/bad review" argument. I think it is a bad point.

By: TempestStormwind. on 01 Mar 08, 18:09:31
He looks at 'similar events in the past' by looking at just one observation station in the Netherlands, and he omits most of the sunspot data from that one site. Why no global data? He also bases his temperature conclusions off of just five nearby stations in the continental US. This is one of the most blatant examples of cherrypicking I have ever seen. (The winner for that is Bob Carter, who decides whether to start with El Nino years or disregard them based on if it'll show warming or not.)

Energy & ...
By: TempestStormwind. on 01 Mar 08, 18:04:31
Energy & Environment doesn't have a peer review process suitable for climate science. They also published Khilyuk and Chilingar, known for concluding that since the earth has given off more CO2 in 4.5 billion years than humans have in 200, and the sun gives off more energy than human activity, humans can't be warming the earth. (I'm serious.) A measure of impact in science is the number of citations. Google Scholar shows Archibald's paper in E&E has ONE citation -- himself. (tinyurl com/32b26f)

By: guffpot. on 01 Mar 08, 16:25:22
I would urge readers here to have a look at Archibald's paper to consider the issues. The next Solar Cycle (no. 24) is very late. Some now ask whether it's in full swing and extremely shallow. Some expect cycles 24 and 25 to be very weak (the next 50 yrs) Archibald tries to look at what happened for similar events in the past and suggests a possible scenario of temperature decline. It is a worthy question, and deserves attention. Aggression is not justified and not dignified.

By: guffpot. on 01 Mar 08, 16:20:12

By: TempestStormwind. on 01 Mar 08, 08:54:51
Except they are both also notoriously incorrect about fundamental points. Bob Carter insists that it stopped warming in 1998. Basic statistics shows this claim to be demonstratably false, but he sticks to his guns (pulling graphs from 6km up in the atmosphere which CO2 theory predicts would be flat...). As for Archibald, google the exact phrase "worst climate science paper ever of all time anywhere". I dislike the review's style, but the paper really is that bad. See also: tinyurl com/243kgq

My case was that McIntyre "alleges" fraud. I don't know about you, but implying someone else cooked the books, drawing analogies to corporate fraud, and accusation of cherrypicking are pretty much allegations of fraud in my book. If my choice of terms was unclear, I apologize. A more direct claim would be based off of post 2793, where McI accuses Hansen of adjusting based on assumption, when he knows why it happened (urban reading are adjusted based on nearby rural stations). tinyurl com/2so7nj

By: TempestStormwind. on 25 Feb 08, 15:46:10
ClimateAudit constantly insinuates fraud, but McIntyre's careful not to actually claim it. He's been asked directly if he thinks there is fraud, and he has carefully not answered the question. The following are given as ClimateAudit posts; put them after "?p=" in a post URL. 216: Comparing UCAR to Bre-X, why? 505: Posting an editorial that serves no purpose except to insinuate fraud. 919: Insinuation of cherrypicking, which is a type of scientific fraud. 880: Accusation of academic misconduct.
