I don’t think this video helps one bit. The message I have gotten over the past couple of years is global warming warning does not change anything. People, governments, everybody do not respond to it in a way that will make any significant difference. It just makes the voices of warning feel better that they are right and they told us so… It is time for a different tactic.
At least the video did not incur the instant fail that the written intro does above by throwing in ‘earthquakes’.
The soundtrack makes it true.
Like what Jaryd, drown/burn us in big enough numbers to force a change?
Hi Pete – no I suppose I am more meaning that using “Fear” has not really worked so far. Maybe it is time to try “Greed”. LOL I don’t really know.
