| Nicole Foss: We Need Freedom of Action To Confront Peak Oil | |
| videonation | 05 January 2011 Peak Oil and a Changing Climate from The Nation and On The Earth productions, co-editor of The Automatic Earth, Nicole M. Foss, explains how energy relates to the economy and what our impending energy crisis will look like. Foss discusses the issues associated with peak oil in financial rather than environmental terms, because she finds that peak oil has much more to do with finance than it does with climate change. Foss talks about what she calls a (quote)false positive feedback loop, which involves optimism leading to (quote)caution being thrown to the wind.(end quote) When this happens, Foss believes that people become angry. Succumbing to fear and anger might lead to engagement in destructive behavior, which would make it harder for society to confront peak oil and climate change. Reacting to former vice president Dick Cheney, who once said (quote)the American way of life is not negotiable, Foss says, (quote)That's true because reality is not going to negotiate with you.(end quote) | |

| GLOBAL WARMING'S GOOD FOR YOU - Ben Sheehan | |
| bensheehanmusic | 11 December 2010 As seen on Gawker (http://bit.ly/dlOosd), Explore Music (http://bit.ly/fRkzKl), and Funny Or Die (http://FunnyOrDie.com/m/3v87). An original song about the positive benefits of Global Warming. Written, Performed, and Produced by Ben Sheehan. Directed and Edited by Chris Whitman. Starring Ben Sheehan, Kunal Tandon, Ali Kresch, and Riki Sheehan. LYRICS: Scientists are claiming that our planet's in decline They say that if we don't go green the earth will not survive But what if all their facts are wrong, and everyone's been had And in reality the changing climate's not that bad... If the polar ice caps melt, there'll be more water to drink And the roaches that infest your foreclosed home could all become extinct Surfers will ride tidal waves, deserts might get rain And streaking would be awesome in a global hurricane 'Cause when the ozone layer up above evaporates It means that we'll get better tans from stronger UV rays Lakes would dry, trees would die, but I have to think it's true If all of us are still around in 2022 There's only one conclusion we could possibly come to Global warming's good for you Now democrats are using stats to frighten soccer moms Who only let their kids outside with SPF 300 on And republicans pretend that each sign is just a lie 'Cause Exxon gives them $20,000 for every motion they deny And when the ozone layer up above evaporates It means that we'll get better tans from stronger UV rays Greenhouse gas will fill the sky, three-eyed fish will multiply But if the world is still around in 2022 Then I say 'keep on burning up those precious fossil fuels' 'Cause there's just one conclusion we could possibly come to Global warming's good for you | |
