Hrumph. Not nearly s'good as pa dutch, but it'll do er. Let's sees ifn we can *save thisn.

Happened to me as well lately. And I remember most the first time I saw this film in Beograd, walking out of the cinema with this tune in my head..

edit: the clip is sifted finally. If it wasn't for your save the clip would've been in the dark discard chambers, and probably stay there for too long, thx!

I made a change to the hostname. The following embed should validate, but I don't know if it will be visible within Canada. It's a shame it isn't avaliable elsewhere, but it looks like they came down hard on this.

it didn't seem to work and being in canada, i can't access comedycentral.com because our internet provider is gay and redirects to www.thecomedynetwork.ca, so if you could re-send that embed that would be great. thanks.

I did mention one specific problem, namely species extinction. At least one species (golden toad) is considered a casualty of a warming planet. Would it have happened anyway? Perhaps. Whether CO₂ released by man is the main cause is certainly in question, but it is known that CO₂ does cause a warming effect, so what is wrong with talking about ways of reducing our output of this gas? This would be in addition to not instead of debate on how to reduce our dependence on a limited resource or eliminating toxins released into the environment. It's too bad about your video. There are a lot of very different opinions here and most people are not shy about debating their position. I hope you won't be either.


Twiddles, never fear that I will be shy. :-D In any case, since I only get one video at a time right now I went ahead and put a new one up that I think better illustrates my personal views. Check it out in the unsifted (http://www.videosift.com/video/Another-good-days-fishing) and let me know what you think.

About the CO2, you again start from the assumption that CO2 causes global warming and state it as a fact "but it is known that CO2 does cause a warming effect." CO2 is correlated with warming, but is not proven to be causitive. The John Stossel video actually points out that CO2 level rises and dips historically tend to lag behind rises and dips in temperature rather than the reverse. Correlated does not necessarily mean causitive. I am not questioning your personal convictions here. I am simply pointing out that your calls to action inherently assume that CO2 causes global warming. For those who do not agree with your assumptions, your call to action falls upon deaf ears. I advocate addressing problems where we use undeniable facts (as in the video mentioned above, global populations of fish are dwindling and adults are getting smaller at maturity) with realistic solutions (Marine Protected Areas to allow safe havens for breeding fish).

As to species extinction, I think that is an issue which needs discussing. Personally, I haven't seen any species that its extinction has been linked to climate change but I have seen reports of hundreds which have been directly caused by mankind. I just did a quick search on the golden toad and while I found suggestions that its extinction might have been due to global climate change, I also found other suggestions that seem just as plausible. It does seem that other than climate change, some of the other most likely possibilities are clearly anthropogenic. Does man have a role in the disappearance of the golden toad? Most likely. Are we steadily poisoning our groundwater with industrial chemicals? Absolutely. I say fix the one we know for sure we are causing and is a problem first.

Ta for the Bravo tags Twiddles! If I ever consider transferring Bravo you're the first cat I will seek out

Guess what? Dupe: http://www.videosift.com/video/Luckiest-Man-Alive

How do you go about finding that?

In reply to this comment by twiddles:
Not saying anyone was right or wrong, but I'd like to point out that according to Top Sifts there were actually over 1300 videos at the time.

Lol. Wasn't trying to be, but I guess it is.

Hi twiddles...
Thank you for your upvote on my submission. That video is sooo sweet it makes me cry. I hope your heart was as warmed as mine.

Thanks for being my 'duplicate' police.

Sifty usually catches those, but he seems to be napping sometimes!
