PragerU admits Global Warming is real and it's a threat
PragerU admits Global Warming is real and it is a serious problem. See 2:28
and 3:24 "world needs to cut Co2"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgm3QOWt6Tc
I don't agree with the video, but at least conservative PragerU admits that Global Warming is a threat.

Dr. Richard Alley is one of the foremost experts on the reality of Global Warming. He is one of a dying breed honest Republicans.

I agree with Lomborg about the needed investments to improve infrastructure to better prepare for and minimize the damage from natural catastrophes, but the experts at The Rocky Mountain Institute would disagree that green technologies won't be cost effective until 2040. They are already proving to be less costly in many ways than business as usual reliance on fossil fuels.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

That video makes a great case for how Obama, once again, failed to implement an effective strategy for real energy solutions. Opting to Solyndra his policies instead.
Not sure I agree with the claim of the OP add the video is more diverse and broader.

PragerU admits Global Warming is real and it's a threat
Not exactly....
PragerU takes the best ideas from the Left and Right, with primarily a conservative focus and then promotes it.
You'll note that while Lomborg apparently believes in Climate Change in some form (be it man made or otherwise, you'll note he doesn't actually say), he's clearly against nearly everything liberals want to do to try and "fix it", as well he debunks most claims of liberals like in the video of the so-called "evidences" of Climate Change. In fact, if you knew who he was you would know that he doesn't think anything should be done toward climate change, other than to naturally promote clean tech as we already do, but not do some of the more direct interferrences liberals like to do, especially those that effect poor country's. In fact, he believes most of what I've said on this issue.
Clearly he doesn't think it's a "threat" at all.... only that Co2 in the sense of pollution is a threat, because after all Lomborg is an Environmentalist, but not a liberal one (at least in the ways they think about the issues, he's more conservative).
http://www.lomborg.com
If liberals were actually like him, then we could all get along on Environmental issues.
Also, you'll note that other PragerU videos on climate change debunk it.
So, the conclusion is that PragerU isn't promoting climate change as "true", it's promoting good ideas and good solutions, which is why they had this expert do a video, because even if he believes in man made climate change in some manner, he has good ideas for improving things, and tells the truth otherwise, per the other facts.
Conservatives aren't afraid of good ideas, even from people that believe differently about some or many things than them.
But, can't say that about liberals..... a conservative even opens his mouth, and they are sent to hell by liberals, even on things they should be able to have some agreement on. In fact, I've actually intentionally posted a couple of threads recently, to see the reaction, whether there could be common ground where there was some, or not. As I predicted, most liberals here weren't willing to find the common ground, and simply kept to their partisanship.
by the way, highly recommend watching the "Left vs Right" video series at http://www.prageru.com
It doesn't get into everything about the differences, but it's a good intro of some of the key differences.

Do you mean literally your most recent post? The one where you said this?

Of course, sadly that likely won't happen,
What reaction were you hoping for? Other than to get yourself on a no-fly list? Or maybe an FBI watch list?

People that actually understand English the context and SUBJECT of a paragraph, understand that the "sadly that won't happen" comment was in referrence to liberals such as Obama doing radical things that clearly show their Fascism. You also take the text out of it's context, the text after it, which further demonstrates what the SUBJECT of that statement was.
But, liberals are liars as usual.... masters of bearing false witness, misrepresentation, perversion, distortion of everything, anything and everyone not them.

Watch the video. He said that the "world needs to cut carbon dioxide because it causes global warming"(3:23). He also said Global Warming is a threat(2:29). WOW I though you were an expert in watching Youtube videos.
LOL it is clear you are not interested in learning anything, you are here to preach.
Bytheway, Global Warming theory is not conservative or liberal, it is a scientific theory.

Man you people are stupid.... You're being the stupid one and have the balls to call me the stupid one.
It's BASIC SCIENCE that Co2 is a part of "changing climate"....
What I said is he didn't say one way or another that it was "man made"....
He also clearly indicated it wasn't a "threat" by his arguments, AND I made clear that he likely does believe in man-made global warming, and that's okay if he does because that wasn't the POINT of the video. The point of the video was debunking various liberal lies on the subject, and indicating better ways to deal with the issue whatever the issue is.
I also made clear that PragerU clearly doesn't promote Climate Change as true per other videos.
Again, conservatives are fine with differences of opinion, just not the bad crap that he also calls bad.
We are fine if people really want to believe in man-made climate change.... what we aren't fine is all the destructive life destroying crap liberals want to do and do do to try and fix it.
Yes, it is a theory, and in conservative view it's a false one, in liberal view it's a true one.
Our religion based in truth and right shows it as false, while liberal religion based in Earth Worship claims it's true.
Only 7% of Media and 6% of Scientists are Republican..... Thus, this is why both media and science has turned into politics on some issues, rather than simply presenting information and the truth, and good objective science.
