"I'd start with energy... I'd cut off Americans supply of cheap abundant engery, I couldnt take it by force so I'd make americans feel guilty about using the engery that heats their homes, fuels their cars, runs their business and powers their economy. I'd make cheap energy expensive so that expensive energy would seem cheap. I would empower unelected beurocrats to all but outlaw americans most abundant sources of engery. After banning its use in american id make it illegal for american companies to ship it overseas.

Still, he doesn't explain how we're supposed to become energy self-sufficient.
Are we supposed to make every car run on coal?

He's referring to high energy costs which is slowing down the economy as it always does. You realize that?
Don't be so paranoid. I was questioning you out of curiosity, not to shoot your opinion down. Your orignal post in here had me wondering what was so wrong about the video

Lots of people believing something doesn't make it not true any more than it makes it true. Meanwhile scientists have piles of work they have done researching the subject.
Also no one has mention the relevance of consensus among scientists, only their evidence, which makes your comment a strawman.

A juvenal prank.
By calling science a religion you hope to elevate religion to a science. Very sneaky.
You need to read "Division of Cognitive Labor" by Philip Kitcher. It argues that irrationality of individual scientists contributes to a rational scientific community.
Edit: Defending the principles of science makes me feel all icky.

Yes, and? My claim was that he isn't making any factual assertions, thanks for agreeing with me.

An entire branch of philosophy studies belief and qualifies it. Faith is just faith.
Faith is belief in the absence of justification, IMO.
If I believe in man-caused global warming when there's significant scientific evidence supporting it then it's not the same as believing that God created the world in six days because it's written in an old book that ripped off the Epic of Gilgamesh.

His last point. "If I wanted America to fail I suppose I wouldn't change a thing."
The video is made to make people think, at least that is my opinion on its purpose. This one man making a youtube video isn't going to bring the solutions on every one of these problems
It's not supposed to make people think, it's supposed to galvanize popular support for this person's views.
It's an emotional message.

Looking at you.
So, you can't have faith unless you are a Christian? You do know that I am not a Christian.
Why don't you believe in global cooling? Oh! that's right, scientists were wrong about that, but there is No Way they could ever be wrong anything now.

No, I was using the Bible as an example to apply to all religions that make untestable claims.
There's a difference between the rational response of not believing anything any scientist says without due cause and what you're doing, which is categorically rejecting all science because some of the time they make mistakes.
If we all shared your view then we wouldn't be having this conversation because the computer would have never been invented because of crippling angst and self-doubt in what would have been the scientific community.
Well it starts with clicking "like" on Youtube.

I'm not saying I believe in Global Warming because more scientists believe in it than not, rather that the evidence and arguments on their side are stronger.
Phlogiston was abandoned in favor of Lavoisier's new chemistry not because suddenly 51% of all scientists believed in it over phlogiston, but because the arguments and evidence for NC became more powerful.
