1. @ltsgoyanks Thanks again - I hope you enjoy my globalchange com site as well as the pjvdixon channel.... loads of new resources added over the last weeks.
2. @ltsgoyanks Thanks for your kind and generous comments! I enjoy meeting audiences in many different parts of the world, and engaging with them, and then giving all the content away online, so it is great to have words of encouragement and appreciation!
3. @pjvdixon You bet! I don't know if I have made the comment already on one of your other videos: I think your presentation skills are fantastic! Seriously, you could give a speech on pond scum, and I am certain that it would be interesting and hold my attention! I tell ya, if the conferences I attended had just 25% of your enthusiasm, perhaps they wouldn;t be a waste of my time! Thanks again, and I look forward to more videos in the future.
4. @ltsgoyanks Thanks for your interesting comment - I agree that we need to act. The good news is that a lot of green tech does pay for itself quite rapidly if oil prices remain above $100 a barrel.
5. @Gayworld: Honestly, I think the cost burden to Americans (and oh by the way, all others that use energy) will be higher if you do nothing. You are probably a fan of supply and demand, and how it will work out the energy crisis we may face in the future: if there is limited to no supply, the price will be out of control. These Carbon offset schemes combined with real world energy solutions will pay for themselves in a matter of years!!! Doing nothing is what will cost us.
6. The slow-bleed bankruptcy of America consolidates wealth/power into the hands of an Elite few and starves the rest of us into accepting their North American Union; 3 nations under a single evil rule. The Elite's intentional destruction of the Gulf and Atlantic Oceans using the BP oil tragedy now have Obama & Al Gore conveniently rushing to pass their pre-planned Carbon Offset Tax scheme to institute bogus new financial burdens on all Americans that will push us into over-taxed 3rd world poverty.
7. Oh and remember to subscribe top right yellow button as adding more on these issues of global warming soon.
8. Utility bills is an easy way to measure most of it and easy to calculate carbon use from them. Strictly speaking they ought to measure carbon used in mining, transport and so on as well. Yes other gases will be restricted in time for example industrial / waste methane.
