The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See


by elephantjournal.com on Dec 21, 2009

With nearly now 8 million views, now, this guy seems to have hit it out of the park re: how to talk about the most important question of our time.

Update: followup is here.

Pass it on.

Over 7,500,000 total views.

Now there's a book: What's the Worst That Could Happen?: A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate (Paperback) by ~ Greg Craven
Reviews:
“…superbly crafted…. A must read.” -Gen. Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.)

“This book trumps most of our accounts of the global warming crisis.” –author Bill McKibben

“Al Gore should share his Nobel peace prize.” -The “New Scientist”

“This is a tremendous book and well worth anyone’s time to read…. You’re in for a treat—Craven is funny as well as exceptionally clear, and wise.” –Kim Stanley Robinson, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Mars Trilogy and Science in the Capital

“This is a terrifically thoughtful book…. Cravens book shines an illuminating floodlight on how we think about global warming.” –Ross Gelbspan, author, “The Heat Is On” and “Boiling Point”

Greg Craven (that’s me!), the creator of “The Most Terrifying Video” never intended to write a book. It just sort of happened. All as a result of the two-year back-and forth I’ve had with the YouTube community about this video and its follow up marathon “How It All Ends.”

So now What’s the Worst That Could Happen? A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate” is available from Amazon and other sellers through the links at www.gregcraven.org, as well as your local bookstore (I hope!).
Check it out if you’re intrigued by the argument in this video.

The reason the comments are closed on this video is that most of the criticisms of what’s presented here have been addressed by the bruisingly thorough 7-hour How It All Ends video project, the discussion is happening over there. I spent months combing through literally tens of thousands of critical comments to find every single objection, criticism, “Yeah but,” and “You missed a spot” that I could to this video.

You might find the results interesting, and hopefully, helpful: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list…

Look. Anyway you look at the question of global warming, the stakes seem to be the whole world. ~ Greg Craven
