If you watch only one video online this week, let it be this one:

"How It All Ends" - a video explaining what we should do about global climate change (a.k.a. "global warming") from the perspective of risk management.

It's only 10 minutes long, and I like it because it reflects my own thoughts on the issue.



But if you have a bit more time (say...3 hours), you might want to also watch this BBC series, "The Climate Wars":

The Climate Wars: Battle Begins

This first episode explores the history of the discovery of global warming, up to the present day.

The Climate Wars: Fight Back

This episode covers the skeptic's arguments against global warming, including the Medieval Warm Period, the unreliability of the surface record, and sunspots.

(Pay particular attention to the last ten minutes.)

The Climate Wars: Fight for the Future

This episode covers the question of just how much of a problem global warming really is. It repeats stuff from earlier in the series, but goes into more detail.

Seriously guys, if you have time...watch it! It's incredibly interesting.

(And if you need a shallow reason...um, the presenter has a Scottish accent?)
