Global Warming Denial is a Criminal Attitude (stop indulging these punks)
Most global warming deniers probably know they’re full of s–t on some level. They don’t deserve civil treatment since they’ve been BS-ing for decades about environmental issues (acid rain, ozone depletion, water pollution, logging, fishery quotas, endangered species, tobacco risks, etc.). Global warming is just their latest & greatest denial play. They’ve already had far too much air-time, given their weak levels of expertise and refusal to accept science at face value. “Free speech” of that sort has interfered too long with critical science policy. Arguments should be weighted by hard-earned knowledge, not just how loudly someone screeches to a gullible audience. As long ago as 1859, scientists had a solid concept of CO2′s potential effects (eg John Tyndall). Over the next century there were various debates over the exact greenhouse mechanism, but no major denials of physics until the Industrial-Right got wind of the situation and reacted as they always have to environmental warnings. Their devious strategy is to pretend that the science can never be settled and can thus never be taken seriously. See “The Denial Machine” (2006) for a good summary of that tactic. Don’t be distracted by the deniers’ superficial credentials or political offices. Approach them as you would any street criminal (or white collar thug). These ingrates are sneering at a major man-made threat to the only life-sustaining planet we’ve got, and it’s mostly about their longstanding, paranoid hatred …

In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION: Supreme Master Ching Hai discusses the interlinked effects of the global livestock industry on global warming, pollution, economics, health and more. An advocate of the plant-based diet for personal and planetary health for more than two decades, she has in recent years established an international constructive television channel which also highlights the causes and effects of climate change, including through news reportage and interviews with leading scientists and climate authorities. In addition, she has facilitated live-broadcast climate change conferences on several continents featuring government officials, scientists and other representatives advancing the multi-sectoral benefits of dietary change. Widely recognized for her humanitarian works, she is a Gusi Peace Prize laureate and was awarded a US Presidential Award in September this year.
