Putting M$ instead of MS should be an automatic credibility destroyer in SW I swear... And I don't buy into Greenpeace's crap at all, this actually is distancing me from my desire to buy a PS3 since they endorse it.

Nintendo doesn't release their information. That's the only reason they're always considered the worst by Greenpeace. Like most people, Nintendo doesn't take Greenpeace seriously.

Well. It's not only about how much power does it consume, but the industrial process (energy, waste, etc...) of making the machines and materials in making a product (recyclable, etc...)

Thats false. It says Sony is the most environmental friendly, not the PS3. In 2007, they did a study and the Wii used the least power with 360 2nd, and PS3 last. Sony may be environmentally friendly but the PS3 is not.

What? Did you believe that being "enviromentaly friendy" is all about power consuption of the machine but not power consuption of the industrial process that makes the machine? Also, It's about waste and industrial process waste too.

Yeah, this is about Sony as a whole, and primarily their televisions and handheld devices at that. It doesn't even bother to reference the PS3 much.

20k years ago North America was covered in ice, which then later melted without the help of evil humans and their game consoles.

Britain had the longest cold winter this year since 1996, which is the opposite of what global warming advocates predicted. They have been wrong about a few other things as well:

Exactly, the main source from Greenpeace doesn't even mention the consoles. It talks about "VAIO" PCs, TV's, Walkman, camcorders, and digital cameras. lolfaqs is just trying to be a troll.

If it does it does, if it doesn't it doesn't. Remember that insdustrial energy efficiency deal im huge numbers. so even if one industry is 10% more energy efficient than other, it still trumps over 10% more power consuption of the consumer machine, as it doesn't run all the time while that industry runs almost all the time. Even if it did, What about waste? What about durability (machines with high durability has less not fucntioning part in a landfill), reciclable materials, material that decompose rapidly, non toxic material used in the machine or the industrial process?

and yet AGAIN if it takes a certain amount of stuff to make a console then it takes a certain amount of stuff to run that console and then that eventually surpasses it in a short time then its not enviormentally friendly.

And I can definately say that it takes more to run the 20 million ps3s sold then it does to make the amount they make a month.

Global Warming doesn't necessarily mean winters should be warmer etc.

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/global-warming-may-lead-to-colder-winters-in-britain-406084.html

But if Britain instead had record high winters that would have also be used as evidence of global warming, no?

An explanation as to how it could happen is not the same as an actual prediction. It seems that to be a global warming scientist all you have to do is provide an explanation as to how weather phenomenon x could be caused by global warming, but don't actually predict when it will happen because that will show how little you really know. Just provide some general conjecture and let the advocates do the rest.

But more importantly there were record colds around the world in 2007-2008, which the IPCC didn't predict. In fact the IPCC incorrectly predicted that the earth would warm by 1F from 1998-2008 as the result of increased co2 emissions. The emissions happened but the warming did not.
