Greenman3610’s Videos for Beginners

Greenman3610 (Peter Sinclair) is now doing a series of videos that are meant to debunk the disinformation and lies put out by Climaticide denialists. The information is designed to help out folks who don’t know what to say when a denialist friend says that global warming is nonsense because “This is the most snow we’ve had around here in years.”

These videos are also a good way for beginners to learn some basic global warming concepts. The videos are short, well made and scientifically accurate. I will update this page with new videos as they come out.

ACTIVISM

From the We campaign: an ad for the 2008 Olympic games

The best ad so far from Al Gore’s We campaign

Very funny, but somewhat vulgar, (so consider yourself warned) Greenpeace video about light bulbs and energy conservation.

From the 350.org campaign

The League of Conservation Voters spells out John McCain’s hypocrisy on clean sustainable energy.

MUSIC
