It's your program for understanding the drama now unfolding on the global stage.

Good video, but one word of advice...delete the plug for your book or move it entirely to the end of the video. It turns your PSA into a commercial and the audience loses the message. Sales pitches are turn offs, but thanks for the video.

@McSuperfly5 FYI: Almost all of Richard's books are released serially online and available for free. I can guarantee you that he, and PCI, don't publish to make a profit!

Good video, good message, but I've given up hope to politicians doing the right thing, I am sorry to say that. the earth is run like a business, and will go down as a businees, or otherwise due to the persuit of profit over survival. The anti-worry-lobby has won the war on reason and science. I wish that the truth would be obvious to the people, but it turns out that people can be given any truth they like to hear. Perhaps the end of humanity is a fact, and there is nothing I can do about it.
