Global Warming as Risk Management - "How It All Ends"

One doesn't have to win a Nobel prize to have a valid view on issues of international import. By the same token any nut job with a webcam can make a video (and every kook with an internet connection can start a blog), however when issues are presented in an intelligent manner that is based upon logic more than simple emotion and when the issue is arguably one of the most important issues of our lifetime (possibly for the species), I would find it hard to argue that you couldn't spare 10 minutes of your time.

How It All Ends video (youtube for you poor saps who have it blocked at work)

The first video is simply a basis for the argument of whether or not humans should take action to fight global warming. The next of the series deals with what one can do, the risk management aspects of choices, etc.

While only a simplified exercise in demonstrable logic it does concisely emphasize the point that it would be better to do something and be wrong than do nothing and be screwed. What can I say? I am a sucker for whiteboard and a logic matrix.
