Just came upon these yesterday, and I've ordered the book. Thanks for the videos; most entertaining. Kids and family are important. But do keep the channel up.
I've got and have read the book. (word 6 on page 134 is "no")
All I can say right now is thanks for all your work. Opened my eyes, gave me a touchstone for others with the videos and the book. Give your loved ones an extra hug, I'm glad for what you gave us, and I wholly support you getting back on focus with your family. From one sportsracer: Thank you so much.
Thanks for your hard work and thoughtful presentations. I want to say that your conclusions leave God's promises out of the equation: the Bible explains that current Earth is only temporary. God Himself will judge man and the Earth with more terrible destruction that the global warming scenario (see Revelation chapters 6-19), but will then restore the Earth, and finally replace it with a new, perfect and eternal Earth and Heavens (see the final three chapters of the Bible, Revelation 20-22).

Why did you have 2 children? Was it to create 2 enormous new 'carbon footprints'? Maybe it's because you don't truly believe all this b.s. yourself- you're just brainwashed by spending your whole life in academia.
For your kids' sake you should stop whining, buy a gun, learn to shoot it, teach your kids to shoot it and prepare for your own worst case scenario. This would probably mean you need to stop wasting time telling others what to do and how to live. Protect your own, Snivelpuss.
Who the f*ck do you think you are? Your mentally sick. Environmentalists arnt suggesting people stop having ANY kids.. The science behind climate change is getting stronger every day with AAAS & NAS in full support of the evidence.
If you dont want to believe AAAS and NAS and an overwhelming majority of scientists in the world, and you want to insult this guy who has put his life on the line for a good cause, then i hope you watch fox news every day and die an ignorant fool.
So your gonna completely disregard my point just because i didnt put an "e" on the end of "your" ?? Yeh - really intelligent. nice come back.
Rather ironically, both my parents are psychiatric nurses, so, actually I think i am quite clued up on what determines being mentally ill. But thats beside the point.
Come back to me with a real valid point, and I promise ill reply... Unless you would rather live in fairy-tail land and go watch fox news with all the other pussys.
Pascal's wager doesn't inform anyone. Most of the stuff he claims is nonsense anyway. Look up climategate and the numerous IPCC retractions that had to be made since xmas. The alarmism is based on bad science and scams.
The skeptics just like the alarmists make mistakes, because that is what humans do. The whole purpose of science is error reduction, and the problem with the alarmists is that they are subverting the rules need to correct their many mistakes. Mistakes like thinking the Himalayan glaciers are going to all melt by 2035, claiming that the MWP did not exist, the hockey stick fraud, inverting data, making unsupportable statistical claims, and so forth.
Hundreds of hours more research and all he's know for is a the global warming equivalent of Pascals Wager.
I've looked at what's been done on both sides and the alarmists have done very shoddy work. Look at the Hymalayan glacier fiasco as just one of hundreds of mistakes.
The purpose of science is error reduction and I recognized the anti-science thinking processes of the alarmists a long time ago. You don't hide data, claim consensus as a scientific principle, or make ludicrous claims.
It is at this point that I direct you to Potholer54's videos, which are a measured and rational set of videos that explain away much of the mis-information surrounding this subject. I'm not going to continue on, as Potholer54 does such a good job explaining it all.
@ReligionOfNice BTW he has covered a lot more than just Pascals wager. You seem to only be looking at one side of the argument and not really looking at all the information out there surrounding this issue.
Thank you Greg for your video. For my part, I accept your letter of resignation. You have done every thing you could and so much more. Now you can take care of yourself, your wife and your two daughters.
I will do what I can to help you, so we won't end up in the 'B' column. I promise

Thank god he's gone... he's made his money, done the book... caused a lot of you tube children to have nightmares.
Well, as the reasonable people have been saying... the "science" behind all this GW crap is mostly political.
With the release of the CRU emails and files, now EVERYONE can see just how big a joke the science is: "...concerted and coordinated efforts by leading climatologists to fit the data to their conclusions while attempting to silence and discredit their critics." -WSJ
Greg, you did awesome man. Taking the time to share ideas, thoughts and you forced many of us to put some time on this issue. So hold your head up high, you did an incredible job laying out an intelligent thought provoking set of videos.
I personally want to thank you for the time you put into it. Your kids should be very proud that their dad cares sooo much about their world, their future and our lives.

I cannot understand this guy. He muddles his message with all this verbiage. I honestly didn't know he actually believed global warming was occurring until right now. And I've watched several of his videos, plus subscribed. (I think global warming is a crock).
Taking stimulants to the point of hospitalization is ridiculous.
well... Greg will love to hear that ... this video was the one that enabled people that reason like you ... to sorry but - finally - become conscient about what's happening.
Well, it's clear from watching your videos that you have done an amazing and mind-blowing contribution to raise awareness of global warming! It's probably one of the most effective "one man" campaigns I've seen on the internet. Sad to hear you'll stop posting for now, but happy for the videos and the book! Hope to see you back after your long, but well-deserved break. (And stay off the Redbull! ; )
I surprisingly stumbled upon your video series and youtube channel today. Watching your plight, your passion and your progress, I was in utter amazement. Although I am a little late to the punch, I am still here to witness your journey and can still participate in achieving our collective goal. I bought your book and look forward to reading it soon. Be well.
Please enjoy your life my friend. You've done so much.....Thank you for your well thought out and classy way of presenting your case. Thanks champ....
I'm half way through your book and loving every page. I watched your entire video series and thought it was nothing short of amazing, but your book reaches a whole new level.
You've done more than anyone could be expected to do, and then some. So by all means take a break and spend time with your family. They're very fortunate to have you as a husband and father.
Kick back and relax for a while, we'll take it from here. Take care and keep in touch.
Of course, get rest. You need to save yourself in order be saving somebody or something else! Be back as soon as you are ready again! Thank you for the great input. From: professional conservationist and mother of 3 children
Or maybe some of you are just jealous of him, maybe you wished you had come up with this excellent presentation. Maybe some of you feel he is trying to convince us that action is better than inaction, well although he did convince you or not, he still leaves you with choices and he is right about how to look at the problem, you have been put in front of a choice, if you chose column B its fine, but why the hatred? Just give your honest opinion and that is it, civility is in order please everyone
Yes come on people be civilised here, I didn't hear Greg call anyone down through the whole 6 or 7 hours of vids he has uploaded in the last 2 years, he showed us respect, would it be too hard to give him the same. Just for the work, time and efforts he has put in this matter, The least we could do is hand him the respect he deserves even if you are not agreeing with him, he still went through a lot, and it shows this man has only good intentions, so why all the hatered, You should bow to da man
I am former mechanical engineer now working on my Environmental Management Masters degree. I must say you've been my favorite professor. You've taught me things I didn't know and presented others in different innovative ways.
Thanks for everything you've done... Rest assured, you have done all you could. You've actually accomplished what millions could not.
Keep us informed. Keep in touch. You ARE an inspiration to many.
Thanks Greg. You're truly inspirational. I don't usually post comments to anything but I've already posted a few to you. Your series of videos was the most educational course on science and how it works that I have ever seen! Your arguments about Global Warming are incredibly well reasoned out and researched and you're and inspiration. I bought the book! Take care and get some rest.
What a bummer, first saw your videos just over an hour ago. You've done amazing things and you give me hope. You're a role model for everyone educated.
Ok Greg, you've done yours. Now walk away. Just walk away. :)
It does occur to me, however, that you might be something of a workaholic, so while you may not come back to this project, you might find a new one to sink your teeth and time into. Beware of that.
And hey, if you come back, we'll have to fire you!
Eventually we will celebrate... let's just stay put for know... One of your adventurers bids you adieu and ask where/when the hell can we get the book in Argentina!

To ChyldeNull: We all have 'inadequacies' but I can certainly find better ways to 'make up' for mine other than posting my thoughts on youtube (however true they may be) so what else ya' got?
I simply think that Greg is making a huge deal out of his effort and telling us how he has to 'pay back' his family for lost time.
I reiterate: Waaa Waaa Waaa.
Try hiking the Appalachian Trail, that's real stress.
you are a fool. and you've clearly never hiked the appalachian trail if you think it's any kind of comparison to what Greg has undertaken (and achieved). being tenacious isn't enough, you need to use your brain as well. maybe you should use yours a little more.
I know Greg Craven. He is a friend of mine. Greg is one of the most sincere, honest and caring people you'll ever meet. He is a voracious seeker of answers.
If you don't like his videos fine, but please don't attack his motivation and values simply because he may be a bunch of ones and zeros to you.
Greg took on an incredible task, threw himself into it, which is the only way Greg knows how to operate, and has provided an important service and angle to look at climate change.
PLEASE take care of your health now, I'm surprised you're still alive after drinking such huge amounts of red bull and going without sleep for so long
I hope you dont quit the human race, just look at what Darwin s origin of species has done for mankind and look at the opposition he had to put up with.
I think your book is going to be quite important too and you will be remembered for it, i just wish i had the intellect to come up with such a book.
2 years... no break. That's respect. I really hope your book and your actions make a difference in the future because frankly, I'd hate to live in a doomed world.
... I am saying i hope so much that the big countries pul together and make a change - because i'd also like to sit back in the Knowledge that we did what could have been don to save our bacon cuz face it the planet is going no where anytime soon... I also would like for my son and his children to be able to grow up in a world that still is able to susstain human life as we know it. And last but not least where is part 2 and 3??
Hey Greg, sounds like good idea for you to relax for a loooong time now :-) so go take care of yourself and while your are at it pat yourself on the back for a job well don. Ive seen all your vids and talked it over with as many friends as I could. Aside from the fact that I live in a country that has about a snowballs chance in hell of affecting the world climate in any other way than debate, and so we have with our Copenhagen consensus - Not that I think that Mr Lomborg is right. But what i
Make sure you get your kidney's checked out, a coworker of mine used energy drinks day in and day out and then ended up have to pass a half dozen kidney stones.
I took adderall for 5 years. Your vid reminded me so much of that period in my life. I lost focus of what was really important to me. I became sick and my relationships started to fall apart.
omg please stop drinking redbull , you will die if you keep this up! you already had a hearattack, and i had once before somebody drank too much, then he said he quit but it was too late already please quit now!!!!
Cater to the 100 that follow you and you will be fine
Cater to the 10 that belittle or hate you and you will become quickly burned out.
Choose your crowd, and F the rest...your not going to make everyone like you, even if you sent everyone chocolates...some people simply live to be angry.
(commented before watching the video, wich i am going to do)
I told you to stop making youtube videos, you finnaly got some alone time , go watch some tv or something. you said it yourself you were going to quit... please spend some times with you kids, BUT!! please, PLEASE go full-time teacher at universetie.... the family could use the money, you said it yourself... and you have childeren something to offer, noboys dad is home always and everybody works fulltime
Human behavior cannot be changed easily. Even without a change there is an economy crisis and starvation in the world. Any solution should include POLULATION CONTROL. Having one child or none instead of two would make much more difference than living environmental consciously!
Oh dude, please don't resort to name-calling... If anything, you can call me a girly man because I am. But, I feel that people are more disappointed by the suddenness of your "resignation" followed by the quick book plug than by the plug itself.
Either way, please, go offline. You took time off so you could spend time with your family, and it's about time you do! You've done more than any average person would, and you've done a good job to boot. Take care (:
so sad to lose you loved the videos - my degree has felt like this - just at the last hurdle they lost my last module - not at the finish line yet - try yoga to regain energy - red bull has a health warning it thickens your blood within 30 minutes and makes it gluppy a recipie for heart attack- was on yahoo news 1 year ago - I have dropped the stuff like a hot brick . you tube has 53 minute kundalini yoga video easy even kids could do selected exercises with you enjoy I will take own advice too
Hate? So anything remotely uncomplimentary to you is "hate?" How about you're just an ineffectual, lost schmuck like most of us? We live in a society that ENCOURAGES (or at least regularly elicits) this sort of superficial quasi-drama.
I don't hate you....but I do rather "hate" our culture--yeah, the same culture that used up the world and flushed it down the toilet.

Ahh, the subject! OK. The subject is that, except for the last 3 videos in about a week, all this guy's stuff is over a year old. WHY is it necessary to now RETURN only to say he WON'T be returning, and how he's suffered so much...blah, blah, blah...except to perhaps get PITTY sales for his book?
The more I look at this, the more pathetic it gets....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Let's see:
1) Sick of teaching (certainly a thankless job), so he takes off to "be with kids."
2) DOESN'T really want to be with kids: get addicted to the internet and makes videos
3) POOR GUY! His videos are SO IMPORTANT that the world clamors for more of his wisdom....and he sacrifices himself to a world greedy for the fruits of his intellect.
I can only hope that in his next video he'll be clutching his chest when he talks about "the pains," and repeating how we MUST buy his book!
"Sick of teaching" --> If you watched his videos, you'd realize that this is a lie.
"DOESN'T really want to be with kids" ---> if you watched his videos, you'd realize he's stated numerous reasons why doing this *is* for his kids.
Yea, at 3 I just realized that you were trolling. You've never even bothered to listen to a word this guy's said and you're just here to spew your crap ideologies n bag on the guy.
Thanks for exposing yourself; makes it easy for anyone viewing your comments.
I guess "argument and inference" is difficult for you. MANY people have trouble admitting (even to themselves) their true motivations. If he SAYS he went to half-time teaching to be with his kids, then, almost immediately started NOT doing that, then one can infer:
1) His true motivation was NOT to be with his kids (or he simply would have done so).
2) The actual EFFECT of his actions was to get away from his teaching--thus "sick of teaching."
"I guess "argument and inference" is difficult for you."
Yea, that's gotta be it. Because not responding to my previous arguments (until now) is totally a sign of someone dominating an argument.
You can make all the inferences you want, but the bottom line is that you've little to no evidence to base it on, and are contradicted int he very same videos you call "Old". Try watching them because repeating myself only makes you look bad.
"1) His true motivation was NOT to be with his kids (or he simply would have done so)."
I'll make this easy for you. Here's why that argument fails. He's stated SEVERAL times that one of the major (if not, THE) reason for his making this videos was for the future of his kids. Now how in the hell can you go from "safeguarding his kid's future" to "he doesn't want to be with them"? The two are necessarily connected; no future, no kids.
I'll try to make this simple for YOU. I won't call you a moron....maybe you just don't pay attention: He SAID (at 1:25) that he took time off in order to SPEND TIME WITH HIS KIDS....NOT to save to world on behalf of his kids.
I think you need to work on comprehension. Is English your first language?
You're a complete idiot and you keep showing why this is the case. No one ever made the case that he said such things *in this video*. In fact, I said several times that he said that in his OLDER videos, the ones you never bothered watching (or remembered). Doesn't change the fact that he *has* said it and that my point still stands about you having no point. Save the insults for when you actually have something of value in your argument, rather than stupidity and nonsense.

Lets factor god into the grid and assume that climate change is real.
If god doesn't exist and we do nothing ... bad thing.
If god does exist and we do nothing but god saves us ... good thing.
if god doesn't exist but we still do something that stops climate change ... good thing.
if god does exist and we do something that stops climate change ... good thing.
The grid shows that we are better off doing something and not putting all our faith in god.

Vote off any and all criticism whether it's constructive or not so you can feel good about what you THINK you have accomplished.
It's called the white light of truth Pal.
Things/Beings like Roaches and Trolls don't like it either but it doesn't stop them.
Go forth and multiply.

Dear Greg,
I am former mechanical engineer now working on my Environmental Management Masters degree. I must say you've been my favorite professor. You've taught me things I didn't know and presented others in different innovative ways.
Thanks for everything you've done... Rest assured, you have done all you could. You've actually accomplished what millions could not.
Keep us informed. Keep in touch. You ARE an inspiration to many.
cdesalliers 2 years ago 3
Thanks Greg. You're truly inspirational. I don't usually post comments to anything but I've already posted a few to you. Your series of videos was the most educational course on science and how it works that I have ever seen! Your arguments about Global Warming are incredibly well reasoned out and researched and you're and inspiration. I bought the book! Take care and get some rest.

Ok Greg, you've done yours. Now walk away. Just walk away. :)
It does occur to me, however, that you might be something of a workaholic, so while you may not come back to this project, you might find a new one to sink your teeth and time into. Beware of that.
And hey, if you come back, we'll have to fire you!

To ChyldeNull: We all have 'inadequacies' but I can certainly find better ways to 'make up' for mine other than posting my thoughts on youtube (however true they may be) so what else ya' got?
I simply think that Greg is making a huge deal out of his effort and telling us how he has to 'pay back' his family for lost time.
I reiterate: Waaa Waaa Waaa.
Try hiking the Appalachian Trail, that's real stress.
It's all about the money now anyway.
It started innocently enough but...

you are a fool. and you've clearly never hiked the appalachian trail if you think it's any kind of comparison to what Greg has undertaken (and achieved). being tenacious isn't enough, you need to use your brain as well. maybe you should use yours a little more.

Hi Greg.
I had already ordered the book when I saw this.
Please lay off the Red Bull. A friend of mine had a similarly scary episode with it. The quantities you drank were insane.
Thanks for your great work and please take some rest so you won't burn out.
You've done a stellar job and we need you to be around later.

I know Greg Craven. He is a friend of mine. Greg is one of the most sincere, honest and caring people you'll ever meet. He is a voracious seeker of answers.
If you don't like his videos fine, but please don't attack his motivation and values simply because he may be a bunch of ones and zeros to you.
Greg took on an incredible task, threw himself into it, which is the only way Greg knows how to operate, and has provided an important service and angle to look at climate change.
You go Greg.

Human behavior cannot be changed easily. Even without a change there is an economy crisis and starvation in the world. Any solution should include POLULATION CONTROL. Having one child or none instead of two would make much more difference than living environmental consciously!

Hate? So anything remotely uncomplimentary to you is "hate?" How about you're just an ineffectual, lost schmuck like most of us? We live in a society that ENCOURAGES (or at least regularly elicits) this sort of superficial quasi-drama.
I don't hate you....but I do rather "hate" our culture--yeah, the same culture that used up the world and flushed it down the toilet.

Maybe this mightn't have gotten past your shallow mind and shallow thinking, but perhaps he's done more than simply make videos on youtube. =\

Let's see:
1) Sick of teaching (certainly a thankless job), so he takes off to "be with kids."
2) DOESN'T really want to be with kids: get addicted to the internet and makes videos
3) POOR GUY! His videos are SO IMPORTANT that the world clamors for more of his wisdom....and he sacrifices himself to a world greedy for the fruits of his intellect.
I can only hope that in his next video he'll be clutching his chest when he talks about "the pains," and repeating how we MUST buy his book!
GetMeThere1 2 years ago
"Sick of teaching" --> If you watched his videos, you'd realize that this is a lie.
"DOESN'T really want to be with kids" ---> if you watched his videos, you'd realize he's stated numerous reasons why doing this *is* for his kids.
Yea, at 3 I just realized that you were trolling. You've never even bothered to listen to a word this guy's said and you're just here to spew your crap ideologies n bag on the guy.
Thanks for exposing yourself; makes it easy for anyone viewing your comments.
NwZ2 2 years ago 4
I guess "argument and inference" is difficult for you. MANY people have trouble admitting (even to themselves) their true motivations. If he SAYS he went to half-time teaching to be with his kids, then, almost immediately started NOT doing that, then one can infer:
1) His true motivation was NOT to be with his kids (or he simply would have done so).
2) The actual EFFECT of his actions was to get away from his teaching--thus "sick of teaching."
GetMeThere1 2 years ago
"I guess "argument and inference" is difficult for you."
Yea, that's gotta be it. Because not responding to my previous arguments (until now) is totally a sign of someone dominating an argument.
You can make all the inferences you want, but the bottom line is that you've little to no evidence to base it on, and are contradicted int he very same videos you call "Old". Try watching them because repeating myself only makes you look bad.
NwZ2 2 years ago
"1) His true motivation was NOT to be with his kids (or he simply would have done so)."
I'll make this easy for you. Here's why that argument fails. He's stated SEVERAL times that one of the major (if not, THE) reason for his making this videos was for the future of his kids. Now how in the hell can you go from "safeguarding his kid's future" to "he doesn't want to be with them"? The two are necessarily connected; no future, no kids.
You are a moron.
NwZ2 2 years ago
I'll try to make this simple for YOU. I won't call you a moron....maybe you just don't pay attention: He SAID (at 1:25) that he took time off in order to SPEND TIME WITH HIS KIDS....NOT to save to world on behalf of his kids.
I think you need to work on comprehension. Is English your first language?
GetMeThere1 2 years ago
You're a complete idiot and you keep showing why this is the case. No one ever made the case that he said such things *in this video*. In fact, I said several times that he said that in his OLDER videos, the ones you never bothered watching (or remembered). Doesn't change the fact that he *has* said it and that my point still stands about you having no point. Save the insults for when you actually have something of value in your argument, rather than stupidity and nonsense.
