    Kumi, by saying that your Hollywood movie star was just reading a script ... we plainly see that embracing that actor's ability to convey with smooth progression is distracted by the sight of that blasted script.

    "Not giving your life, but giving the rest of your life". Inspiring words those!

    According to Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore, who testified in front of a Senate committee, “There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years,” according to Moore’s prepared testimony. “Today, we live in an unusually cold period in the history of life on earth and there is no reason to believe that a warmer climate would be anything but beneficial for humans and the majority of other species.”
    Moore went on to point out that "“It is important to recognize, in the face of dire predictions about a [two degrees Celsius] rise in global average temperature, that humans are a tropical species,” Moore said. “We evolved at the equator in a climate where freezing weather did not exist. The only reasons we can survive these cold climates are fire, clothing, and housing.”
    “It could be said that frost and ice are the enemies of life, except for those relatively few species that have evolved to adapt to freezing temperatures during this Pleistocene Ice Age,” he added. “It is ‘extremely likely’ that a warmer temperature than today’s would be far better than a cooler one.”
    Indeed, cold weather is more likely to cause death than warm weather. RealClearScience reported that from “1999 to 2010, a total of 4,563 individuals died from heat, but 7,778 individuals died from the cold.” Only in 2006 did heat-related deaths outnumber cold deaths.
    In Britain, 24,000 people are projected to die this winter because they cannot afford to pay their energy bills. Roughly 4.5 million British families are facing “fuel poverty.”
    “The fact that we had both higher temperatures and an ice age at a time when CO2 emissions were 10 times higher than they are today fundamentally contradicts the certainty that human-caused CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming,” Moore said.
    “When modern life evolved over 500 million years ago, CO2 was more than 10 times higher than today, yet life flourished at this time,” he added. “Then an Ice Age occurred 450 million years ago when CO2 was 10 times higher than today.”
    Even though poking at these totally brainwashed "cool kids" and the old hippies who still believe this old Al Gore piper-ed Chicken Little fairy tale does indeed have its charm, it really is sad that this lunatic thinking still exists.

      Alas, I guess I write in vain and you're nothing but a troll. But I won't let you write your "facts" unchallenged.
      "Climate change: 97% of climate scientists agree" It's called "scientific consensus". Check this climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus
      BTW Patrick Moore is, as far as I know, not involved with Greenpeace, not since 1986. He's supported nuclear energy since then, for example, and gets paid by companies he was once opposed to.
      Additionally it's not about "global warming", but more exactly "global climate change". Which means that some areas may get colder, other areas may get warmer. You try to construct with your numbers an impression that is quite different from reality, a reality which many people have to cope with.
      Did you even watch the lecture?

      Take your concerns up w/ Patrick Moore. I'm just not interested in senseless go-rounds with those who'll grasp at any straws simply trying convince anyone who'll listen to their nonsense, that "global warming", "climate change" or any other term that'll be dreamed up next to justify what is only a planet-wide wealth redistribution scheme, is indeed either real, and/or puts the earth in any kind of real danger. Bye now.
