Check out the more evolved descendant of "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See:" a tour-de-force of logic and reasoning, backed up by a battalion of thoroughness and detail. Yes--you must see for yourself: "How It All Ends."

In exploring the six hours of "expansion pack" videos, you have a couple options for your navigation ease:

* Use the links in the "About This Video" of "How It All Ends," or
* go to manpollo.org or wonderingmind42.com--both sites created by others--which have them all neatly laid out for you. Manpollo.org also has all the videos available for download for viewing offline, burning DVDs, mashing up, whatever.

If you contact me, it would help to tell me the name of the video you are talking about.

not a single respected scientific body worldwide disputes the existence of man-caused global warming. yet so many people seem convinced it is a conspiracy. weird.
researchers and scientists are not respected on youtube i see.

The upcoming and current technological boom this world is witnessing will solve, dwarf, and dominate any "problems" like global warming, lack of energy, over population, limited food, etc. People who decide to live in fear will always be a nuisance to themselves.

So, it does not sound like your retirement from video-making had anything to do with negative comments.
You simply got so deeply involved in the details of making this 7-hour-long video, making sure that it was rigorous, that you exhausted yourself and could go no further. Sounds reasonable, expected.
Best wishes for whatever work you do now!

The Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW denialist = Holocaust denier = Evolution denier nutjobs NEVER mention the loss of jobs to those who want to work in the solar and wind field, but these are not coddled ad pampered to the way the coal, oil, nuclear industries have been coddeled to by politicians, esp in the US, for over 200 years (starting with coal, obviously). It is time for the AGW proponents to fight back against the flood of AGW-denying propaganda that infiltrates the airwaves and internet and cable tv. We need our viewpoint heard and acted on, the way the denialists have been coddled to and have had politicians bending over backwards for them for centuries.

Conservatives are the biggest hypocrites on earth: crying against "big government" about some insignificant adjustment to their lifestyle, but demanding big government punish prisoners and criminal defendants for actions that should be their right in the first place (consuming marijuana, allowing consenting adults to marry regardless of sexual orientation, and fighting the police to win that right).
Conservative bullshit = their conspiracy theories that getting tough against those who refuse to make a lifestyle or shopping or consumption change for the environment will hurt the economy. Not ONE shred of scientific evidence for that bullshit theory.

Regardless of my stand on Global Warming, specifically Global Warming being caused by humans...

I disagree with your logic. You argue two alternative statements are held to be the only possible options. When in reality you fail to mention if there are other alternatives. Your presentation of a false choice reflects a deliberate attempt to eliminate the middle ground on global warming.

I don't necessarily disagree with the "it's better safe than sorry" argument. However, there is a huge hole in your argument on global warming. In column A, if the cost were to cause extreme global depression in the first row, then it would most certainly cause extreme global depression in the second row. Regardless of the outcome, the cost is sunk and not recoverable. A depression of the magnitude you are suggesting would also have most, if not all, of the elements of (B, true), which by this logic would actually make column B the better choice since there's a chance of no negatives.

"It is the nature of human species to reject what is true but unpleasant, and to embrace what is obviously false but comforting

Props to ganjaeno for bringing up that statement. It is incredible how many people, many with little interest in scientific matters, think that they know more than the best scientists on earth, instead prefer to cowardly stand behind the denial movement mainly funded by oil companies.
As for Greg, I like the logic you use, especially the fact that you detach it completely from science and appeal to logical reasoning to bring your point across.
Keep up the good work and don't let the haters bother you

Wow way to fast talk people on global bs warming. You're not using any logic. Global warming must be PROVEN WITH FACTS. It has NOT. It is sensationalist BULLSHIT.

I agree with your logic however; It is NOT the only matrix. I like the world today in that one can express ones self using the net, texts, cams etc. The science behind CLIMATE CHANGE (not global warming) is vast and ever changing. Look at light, right? Light is always expanding. I live in Near Mt Shasta California and those glaciers have been growing since the mid seventies. i have been on the summit three times. When half the world is destroyed we will be growing crops and drinking cold water, EVERYDAY
