I had no idea that talking about the single most pressing and confirmed issue in science in the recent decades would open a can of worms.
Let me first say:
I respect that there are people who have not read the scientific literature on the matter.
The "opponents" of global warming has managed to do a great job psychologically in making a lot of people believe that global warming is some sort of scam or somehow that it's just another hypothesis.
To me this is actually quite mindboggling with all the emperical data that exist and the borderline unprecedented consensus within the scientifiy community.
Even gravity is more controversial than global warming at this point, at least gravity is irreconcilable with relativistic quantum mechanics.
Proof of consensus on global warming and climate change:
http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensusSo why do I mention this instead of just playing it neutral to not step anyone on their toes? Because it is real and I refuse to ignore this just because it "might" offend some redneck idiot because we might lose a few dollars over it. That is worse than what the banks is doing today, at least they just steal money and don't force people to remain ignorant and dumb.
As one of the guys who actually got into cryptos because I also actually believe in the need for change I will not piss on my principles.
But hey, I am not going to create the video so sure it's up for vote if we are going to include the fact that NXT is important due to the insane amounts of energy Bitcoin uses which is detrimental to the worlds ecosystem.
If you happen to lack knowledge about global warming and don't want it to be included: feel free to vote against it, since it's decentralized and democratic you have all the right to ignore reality.
But I honestly think it would be a much, much more honest and influential way to show just how important it is that a mining altcoin don't become THE FUTURE.
You do know that there is no original data don't you? How does one conduct science without data? How does one trust science without data? And that's just one thing that is B.S. about these so-called scientists.
I am sad that one of your "principles" is global warming, but if that is how you want to live then go for it. I am a little puzzled by your attraction to crypto-currency as the very nature of them will destroy your "principles" if successful. Only strong governments can enforce global warming taxes and fees. If these currencies help to hasten the demise of the Euro and the dollar, your "principles" will be defeated.
Further, you will be happy to know that over a decade ago all of the "scientists" said that if the world did not seriously address global warming by 2010 then it would be too late. So stop worrying -- your "principles" have been lost forever.
