Global Warming on the Whiteboard

The debate on global warming really frustrates me. Why? Well, primarly because I have always been of the opinion that as a species we really can’t take chances with our planet and we especially cannot take chances when the only obstacle is economic or political. When I speak to global warming naysayers they often fall back on the arguements that strictly curbing our appetite for energy consumption will be devestating to the ecomony or that it will impact us politically in a negative way….perhaps meaning that the US will no longer be the super power that it is today. The problem I see with both these arguments is that these outcomes pale in comparison to what could happen if global warming is in fact imminent at this point in time and we do nothing significant to stop it. What is the greater tragedy….the US being leveled to an even playing field with the rest of the world or millions of people being displaced by natural distasters, the loss of coastal cities, and rampant famine? Well, the fact that many people get stuck on that basic concept frustrates me to no end. How could anyone feel it is wiser to do nothing in times of uncertainty than it is to do anything?

Well, I came across an AMAZING clip on YouTube that charts our best choice as a species on a whiteboard. Enjoy!
