Re: [videoblogging] Re: Let's band together to do something about Global Warming!!!
Doctor P, You might want to lighten up a little here, Casey was trying to do something good, and, believe me, I know Casey, and she's not dumb. For the record, you also might note in inconvenient truth they site statistics about how a large percentage of the warmest years on record have been in recent years (very very tiny sample - as you know - but they are using dramatic data to illustrate their point) and, as you know, this curve of climate change is now almost parallel to the y axis, since it is accelarating at such a dramatic rate (a curve they showed in many ways in many forms on inconvenient truth), it is very dramatic when considering a very small sample of years and, in fact, I just heard a story on NPR about how warm this winter is, over-all, compared to others and scientists interviewed certainly implied that this was related to global warning, recognizing that most of us recognize that what is important is a much larger trend. So, in my view a dramatic anecdote, referring to a very small sample of data, adds an emotional appeal that can then be backed up by data. Mainly, I'm saying if you want to get your point across you might try a less pedantic and condescending approach. By the way, I saw your pocast featured on blip, subscribed and I'm enjoying it a lot - i would recommend it. ... regards ... Richard On 1/7/07, doctor P [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Global Warming is real and it is a real threat. However, Casey, your note that no snow in Montreal confirms your belief that GW is behind this is a disservice for the environmental cause and is disappointing for scientists like myself that are trying to educate the public on such matters. Science is not a belief. Natural patterns are not a conspiracy theory. An anecdote is one data point not an evidence. Lack of snow or a heat wave must be placed in a graph where they produce a body of evidence that may show a trend. The melting of the polar ice shelves is cataclysmic and is happening. What can you do about GW, Casey? First, educate yourself. Go to a bookstore, for example. Read popular versions of the science describing GW. Rent 'An Inconvenient Truth' by Al Gore. I produced a video myself explaining Global Warming at http://spacegeek.org/ep3_QT.shtml Google anti-GW website to learn how to respond to the oil industry. As a Canadian, you are one of the highest producers of GW byproducts and waste. Have you written a letter to your rep. regarding the Alberta Oil Sands? Are some of your friends driving SUVs, could you convince them to question that choice? Your show is popular. Would it be possible for you to produce a show about GW in an entertaining but also educational way? Your idea of a vlog site with GW witness accounts and tags can only be real if it is intelligent otherwise it will be debunked and will provide fodder for those who like to portray environmentalists in a poor light. Once you have educated yourself, then your actions will not be based on belief but reason and that is the difference between a closed-minded person manipulated by religion/patriotism/trends and an enlightened member of the environmentalist community.

I posted footage almost a year ago from a flight over the Alps, see http://www.beginningwithi.com/travel/flying.htm.

If you want to keep 'vlog' in it I suggest, 'vlogglobalwarming' otherwise it sounds like you are for global warming even though you are not. On Dec 22, 2006, at 5:45 PM, Amanda Congdon wrote: - Tag it! (What do you think of the tag vlogforglobalwarming?) -- Steve Garfield http://SteveGarfield.com

Hello All, Ok, Casey. Here's my contribution. I happened to tune into weather.com and based the episode around what I found there. It's a fresh upload, not yet into the vlog site, but on Blip.tv Here it is: http://blip.tv/file/120486/ Zennie --- Joshua Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In here, too.

Unfortunately, the fog has cleared now, so I can't do a video that supports vloglobalwarming, not that fog has anything to do with it, just that it's managed to scupper people plans to escape England, this year. I wish I could help, but I am geo-located in a place that usually doesn't have snow at christmas time. Paul Knight On 23 Dec 2006, at 02:07, Joshua Paul wrote: In here, too.
