the reasoning in this video is so stupid it almost burns
I could deconstruct it but I reckon I'd be a wasted effort if you're the kind of person who would sit and watch something this bad and think "hey, this guy's makes a lot of sense. I'm going to post this so other people can learn"
I learnt about global warming in the 80s. I thought at the time that greed being what it is, we'd probably have to wait until the shitty things, like regular once in a thousand year floods, fires, heatwaves and the like actually started happening before the world all moved as one to do something about it. Now that's it's happening, I guess I underestimated just how fucking stupid and easily manipulated many people are.

it's even more depressing, these people aren't passive
it's like if the tobacco industry persuaded millions of people to share videos about how smoking causes cancer is a hoax
I could do one using the irrelevant fact logic of the above video
"did you know cigarettes are up to 75 efficient at not causing lung cancer? did you know that more smoke is produced by cars every day than all the cigarettes smoked in a year. that's because people want you to think smoking is dangerous"

This oil industry propaganda is probably modelled on the tobacco industry campaigns.

Plus all the films from the 40s onward that made smoking look sexy.

accurately documented the glamour, sophistication and sexiness of smoking.
Seriously, bring back smoking on TV and films. All the villains have toothpicks these days. Toothpicks! It's ridiculous.

these days you'd depict people standing near the skips outside shopping centres trying to suck down a marlboro in their 5 minute break. it'd only be 3rd world countries you could go all bogart and not make it fantasy

Please do waste effort on the stupid to make them wise
I did Environmental Science GCSE, late 80s, global warming was not part of the syllabus. In fact the syllabus mainly used the example of the coming ice age theory, backed by Greenpeace and other international govts, as a how not to lesson.
A Leonard Nemoy presented film about it is on YouTube if anyone wants a real hoot. All the same people backed and funded that film as back global warming now, except isnt it a ‘climate holocaust’ in the new jargon? These are the same buy now pressure techniques a life insurance salesman might use. With the previous ice-age scare they used Mr Spock cos he is a clever tv character and that’ll convince ‘em, he had no formal training on the subject. More convincing than the teenage school drop-out by comparison, true. So the stupid is spread all over the greeny fictions as well.
In 80s Environmetal Science GCSE, I’d say the overriding common exam question was about “peak oil” and that too fell by the wayside in the intervening years. Lastly a note for an equivalence being made elsewhere here: Greenpeace is richer than many oil companies at this point, mainly due to the way they keep refreshing their product lines. Though yes, follow the money always.

Look out lads a fallacy from authority
Point was made above about “learning about global warming in the 80s” taking an exam in the subject in that period in which it was not even prominent in the syllabus is entirely cogent. Obviously one A level counter bid trumps me, or 97% of scientists maybe.

greenpeace, as a registered charity, produce audited financial statements that anyone can read
Here is greenpeace international's financial report: www.greenpeace.org/static/planet4-international-stateless/2021/06/0639667b-greenpeace-international-combined-financial-statement-2020.pdf. Their worldwide turnover was 90 million euro, with 52 million euro in assets, which puts them as about a medium sized charity.
Now if I take Santos, which is a medium sized oil producer in Australia, a very small player by world standards. their profit was 1.8 billion.
So you're not only wrong when you say "Greenpeace is richer than many oil companies at this point", you're wrong by a factor of 100s, which takes a special kind of ignorance. So when I say "how fucking stupid people are", here's a good example. and along with many stupid people, you won't let this change your mind. you'll keep repeating this absurd claim as if you have access to some inside information. you don't.

Given the username, he'll keep repeating it.
Projection seems to be endemic in far right wing circles, they are most annoyed by their own behaviour; Which they seem to have little insight into.

Hi, troll.
I took my GCSE Geography in the mid 90s, all our textbooks were from the 80s, and nothing at all was taught to us about a coming ice age, so you'll understand me assuming you're a fucking liar, or some sort of b0t regurgitating facebook nonsense.
