Something like a decade ago, I read a statistic; 800 million cars on the planet. I don’t quite understand the intricacies of greenhouse gas emissions in reference to global warming. I sort of get the greenhouse thing but it does not make a lot of sense to me. What I do understand or comprehend in terms of effect is that of the overall heat from 800 million cars plus heat generated for producing electricity plus the heat from many industrial operations would contribute heat in the atmosphere. If you don’t believe there is contribution of heat then just go and place your hand near the engine after it has been running for a couple of minutes. In case it is not obvious to you, be careful, as you could burn your hand. Where does that heat go then? Just because someone does not have an explanation for it, does that mean it does not exist. Go ahead, put a couple of engines in your living room (of course i dont really recommend you do this if you want to live or value your health due to exhaust fumes) and tell me it don’t heat up your immediate atmosphere & quality of the air you breath. Just because one may not have a comprehension of scale, does that mean it isn’t true?
I sensed a trancy/ hypnotic / sheep like (as in follow like sheep) energy to the Google video in the initial posting. (Especially at the start.) I watched it until just after the hockey stick graph before I realized this is not the real deal. I have ignored my intuition enough times to conclude this is Industry PR material. As long as industry is run by bean counters, and people buy everything fed to them from the media without questioning they will continue their PR work in the various forms.
