Ad Nauseam, I know. This one's been flogged like a dead horse and, depending how cynical you're feeling, could be the latest straw man of imminent doom. But, this video I'm linking to asks not are the enviromentalists or are the wait-and-see-ers right, but what's the best worst case scenario for taking action or not taking action. Basically suggesting what we would reasonably conclude, that if the warming is not man-made and we take action, we're courting economic recession on a massive scale and if we don't take action and the warming is man-made we can expect catastrophucks on a biblical scale. So, really, the question becomes what's the best worst case, depression or cataclysm?
We can recover from a recession, but not from a cataclysm.
Obviously, the video is quite simplistic, but I think the point it makes is still very valid.
