YES i am completely and utterly convinced climate change/AGW or whatever its called this week is 100 percent verified after watching this video !!! The? same goes for the science as well as all my scepticism over the science has now been dispelled !!! Thank you Marcus as you are a genius !!! and so hilarious and RIGHT ON !!! You end the argument with a wager which does not exactly inspire confidence in your infallible scientific data.Pathetic in other words + a waste of bandwidth.

he's infuriatingly? right.
By: gabrielcrimson. on 04 Oct 11, 13:45:11
I agree with him? but as an atheist he must see how much that sounds like pascals wager at the end lol.

@superhamzah85 Bizarre invalid analogy. A valid analogy would be if Bridstocke was a ravenous meat eater - but told his audience they all must become? vegetarians to "save the planet".
By: superhamzah85. on 05 Aug 11, 08:58:01
@MMGWsceptic I eat meat but I eat food that is suitable for vegetarians. I'm? a hypocrite.

@pendantry "I rarely fly" ?? In the same article he lists just a few of his favourite foreign holiday destinations including: The Maldives, Mallorca, Bejing, Shanghai, Kayaking in Mexico, Varadero in Cuba, New York and skiing in Val d'Isere. And he says he? planning a long holiday to India. And this guy has the nerve to tell poor people they need to reduce their travel? "Cherry picking"? There's a veritable orchard of hypocrisy to pick from.
By: pendantry. on 25 Jun 11, 14:14:23
@MMGWsceptic Ah, you mean google search? for "My Life In Travel: Marcus Brigstocke, comedian"? Hmm... cherry-picking, much? "I rarely fly, for environmental reasons more than anything else. I take most of my holidays in northern Europe and I either drive or take the train [...] south of France. We drove from England [...] Brighton [...] Edinburgh [...] The Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains [...] bought a motorhome a few years ago; the journey has become the holiday." MMGWsceptic: RABID DENIER

@MMGWsceptic I expressed myself badly. Sorry. People like? Marcus are invaluable; they help spread the word about where we are going wrong in our lives. It's true that his actions have the appearance of hypocrisy; but were he to stop, his message would also stop. In my view, he's paying far more than the going rate for his carbon consumption. It's the inequity of the true cost of the average aristocrat's private jet, or the holidaymaker's 'cheap' weekend flight abroad - these cost us the planet.
By: MMGWsceptic. on 24 Jun 11, 18:45:00
@pendantry Unbelievable that you're trying to make excuses for Bridstocke here: He stands on stage lecturing people to cut back their CO2 emissions - the next minute he jets off round the world on another unnecessary luxury fossil-fuelled holiday . The alternative is, what, stop doing it? Yes - if he believes what he's preaching then he should stop taking foreign holidays. Or else stop preaching. The only 'rampant denialism' here is yours of ? Bridstocke's sickening hypocrisy.

@pendantry Thank you. I will actually look into that. Always interested to learn up a bit. Much appreciated. Oh, it wasn't a question I needed the answer to by the way, but thanks for giving me a lead and not bickering at me like most people online. I'll still check out the? documentary!)

@CaptainShifty54 I do count the corporations that make their money from planet pollutants. Our biggest challenge? is how to stop them raping the planet in the name of profit.
By: pendantry. on 19 Jun 11, 16:37:55
@Socaine If you're serious about? your ice question, I suggest the BBC documentary 'Earth: The Power of The Planet'.
By: pendantry. on 19 Jun 11, 16:34:45
@meursault48? Enjoy your delusions.
By: pendantry. on 19 Jun 11, 16:31:35
@MMGWsceptic I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who is able to be avoid some accusation of hypocrisy, given that the problem is a direct result of the way our society is structured. Any successful person in this borked system has little choice but to travel widely. The alternative is, what, stop doing it? Personally, I think? there's little more useless than a failed internationally-famous comedian. Me, I'm glad he's done something to counter the rampant denialism - like yours.

From Bridstocke's Independent interview on travel: "I went to the Maldives the year before last... I've also holiday in Mallorca? with family and friends.. I went to China for a brief working visit.. thought Shanghai was interesting.. Beijing grabbed me. My son, sister, niece and I were sea kayaking in Mexico.. Worst hotel? Varadero, Cuba. Favourite city? New York. It's a got great restaurants.. I'll be performing at the Volvo comedy fest in Mayrhofen, Austria, 4-9 April HYPOCRITE

@SuperTruth77 Correct you are. Offsets are easy to fake. And since they are equivalent to permits, the concept of using them to place a meaningful scarcity cost on atmospheric pollution is meaningless. However it's easy to see we got an dramatic imbalance in the incoming and outgoing infrared radiation budget of the earth, exactly in the spectrum you'd expect. With the global temperature raising 1000's of times faster than the last 8 iceages Dumb economics don't eliminate? empirical physics

UNFUNNY? AND ARROGANT SHIT
By: meursault48. on 06 Dec 10, 15:53:37
Poor little Marcus, in the three years since this rant, Durkins' film's claims have mostly been borne out. The hockey stick is a joke and we've had clear evidence the CRU has been caught cooking the books. This guy is becoming almost as funny? as Rob Newman, or - in the words of Sean Hughes - a cunt.
By: SuperTruth77. on 04 Dec 10, 09:19:52
I used to? be in charge of a carbon offsetting programme for a major UK distribution company in the mid-2000s. After a couple of years, the board found out the whole scheme we were part of (supposedly planting trees in Bolivia) was non-existent fired me for 'incompetence'. However, they had to pay for my silence with 2 years' salary and a fantastic reference as they didn't want the bad PR to get out. From what I hear on the grapevine, I think most offsetting schemes are like this...
By: andy765gtr. on 20 Nov 10, 19:06:50
brigstock hits the nail on the head. its telling that the uk comedians are generally both atheistic and scientifically rational. being bonkers or in? abject denial about reality is just not very funny. i dont know one religious comedian. comedy is always on the side of the rational. its a shame weve also got a spineless tabloid media, feeding the denial of the low brow, car addled masses.
By: Socaine. on 19 Sep 10, 14:13:26
People are idiots in general, "GW? deniers" and "environmentalists" both ruin their own arguments by being irritating whiners. This guy is hilarious but he's just pounding on the other side with no opposition. Glad you enjoy the video Superfreak, well done Marcus. I live in Southern Ontario, which was once buried in ice,how did that melt all those thousands of years ago? Glad you've taken a side, enjoy the battle, but I think both sides are bicking children now, and real progress has gone boink

I really hope British people don't let the right-wing corporate apologists with their disdain for anything green, entrenched intolerance and want of a World beholden only to 2000 year-old superstitions, take a chokehold on your society like Americans have let happen here. It's just about all over but the shouting in America, they've destroyed the? American middle class and perverted nearly everything that we're supposed to stand for. I hope there's still time for you to turn it around.

If Marcus Brigstocke says man-made global warming is real, then it really must be real. Marcus is a snotty, posh-boy comedian so? he MUST be an expert climatologist. Don't listen to those know-nothing scientists who have expressed doubts about global warming, listen to a Marcus instead; after all, a posh comedian can never be wrong about anything
By: kitchenaut. on 09 Jul 10, 02:07:58
@MMGWsceptic No, you're the rambling one. You can only provide conspiracy nonsense which have no? basis in fact and insults.
By: DeadlyV1RU5. on 06 Jul 10, 18:05:34
FUCK YEAH! This guy absolutely tells it? like it is.
