Description:
Over 8 million total views. Now there's a book: "...superbly crafted...A must read." -Gen. Anthony Zinni, US CENTCOM Commander (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"On Amazon: http://snurl.com/kjpvpGreg 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.On Amazon: http://snurl.com/kjpvpTrailer for the book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e10ZNpogv4What the critics are saying: http://www.gregcraven.org/en/the-book/endorsements-and-criticismsDownload a 25-page preview: http://www.gregcraven.org/en/the-book/download-preview-of-whats-the-worst-that-could-happenIn the press: http://www.gregcraven.org/en/the-book/press-coverage-for-the-book----------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?p=92EE5DBE2987982FYou can post comments there. But to tell the truth, the conversation has moved even farther along, since the criticisms to those videos gave rise to the book, which now has its own discussions going at http://www.manpollo.org/forums/index.php.

May 30, 2012 - Hmmm/ REFORMING the UNITED NATIONS??? Now that certainly sounds interesting??HOW do they describe themselves?"The normative context of our research is sustainable development: We see earth system governance not only as a question of governance effectiveness, but also as a challenge for political legitimacy and social justice."WOW? If I wasn't used to slippery talk? I might not quite GET THEM?BUT? As it so happens? I am quite used to slippery subjective dissertation.
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - And as always? It always comes down to KEY phraseology to nail the subject matter as to it's honest source.PHRASES LIKE:Social Justice? Political legitimacy? And of course EARTH system governance? OH? And let's not forget social sustainability?Haven't heard an aweful lot about AGENDA 21 lately? Have you? It's goten a few bloody noses alone the way and is prety well beat up/ BUT???Well? Remember that part about :REFORMING THE UNITED NATIONS as one of their key goals?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - AGAIN? FROM: The Earth System Governance website?The Earth System Governance Project is the largest social science research network in the area of governance and global environmental change. Our international research programme takes up the challenge of exploring political solutions and novel, more effective governance systems to cope with the current transitions in the biogeochemical systems of our planet.Hmmm? MORE EFFECTIVE governance? That doesn't sound TOO POLITICAL? Does it?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - But Nifty Naughty Nighty is constantly telling us the whole AGW question has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS! And THEN posts a story from 32 scientists from an organization primarily driven to and by POLITICS?THIS particular philosophical agenda is named PANARCHY. And if you think some of their talk has been double speak BEFORE this? You have no idea how sweaty it gets.Ok? So WHO funds them and WHO is associated to them?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - LUND University. Who hosted The Lund Conference on Earth System Governance. "Towards a Just and Legitimate Earth System Governance: That was interesting enough I guess? BUt?In the article Nighty cited? The article published in Science on 16 March 2012, 32 leading governance experts from the Earth System Governance research alliance argue for a fundamental overhaul of global environmental governance.Hmmm? OVERHAULING ALL GLOBAL GOVERNANCE? In the name of ENVIRONMENT of course?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - So let's GET REAL and at least TRY to be just a tad more THRUTHFUL here? This whole idea is based in ECOPOLITICS. And in some cases almost driven to the level of a STATE SPONSORED RELIGION. Or at least that woukd seem to be the goal? Only in theis case? The STATE would be the WORLD, run by a NEW SYSTEM of GOVERNANCE derived from a TRANSFORMED and over hauled UNITED NATIONS? One administed by SCIENTOCRACY??
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - The FUNDAMENTALIST Muslims say they want to dominate the WORLD? I understand that since they come right out and say so? THEY come right out and say6 everyone else is KAFIR? I get it. I don't have to like it? But they aren't hiding behind sprinkly language that a lawyer could find ten different definitions and assumptions from. they're CRAZY MFers. But I understand them. THEY are least HONEST and forthright about their agenda.And I LOVE THEM for telling me WHO they are and WHAT they want.
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - The JEW haters are just about the same way too? MOST of them are sincere haters with no qualms about stateing their case. CRAZY MFers! BUT right out in the open with straight language very few people can misconstrue.I LOVE THEM for letting us know who they are and what they demand. They would be much harder to deal with if they were closeted freekazoids.And NOW we get to the AGWers? THEY constantly tell you half truths and distortions that lead to misinformation/ MAINLY thru EXAGERATION.
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - FOR INSTANCE:32 scientists say we need stronger world wide governance? THEY DON'T come out and SAY ALL forms of governance, EXCEPT WHAT THEY WANT, are bad and wrong. But only a moron could misread their messages?THEY don't SAY WHAT form of governance they want? Just that EVERY ONE that exists today is insufficient to get what they want? BUT? THEY KNOW it has to be stronger with MORE POWER to MAKE people do what they want?USE your imagination?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - And then we have?: From the same website; 21 Issues for the 21st Century. REMEMBER that AGENDA 21 thingy?"UNEP Foresight Report identifies 'Aligning Governance to the Challenges of Global Sustainability' as most urgent emerging issue for UNEP and related UN programmes."
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - And for those who still just don't see any links to cwertain people trying to use the United Nations as thier POWER base? We have several papers written and available on their website. One of which is:Biermann, Frank. Greening the United Nations Charter. World Politics in the Anthropocene. Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development, May/June: Notice please? Where it says? WORLD POLITICS in the Anthropocene?So much for it has NOTHING to do with POLITICS???
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - And then we have the "COST" Organization? (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) And: COST Event Report: Global Environmental Risk Governance under Conditions of Scientific Uncertainty: Legal, Political and Social Transformations.Hmmm? WHERE have i heard that TRANSFORMATION agenda before? Oh yes/ UBUMMA wants to TRASFORM AMERICA? I'm a bit skeptical when I see this word. WHY do they never say FROM WHAT and TO WHAT? Afterall? Isn't that what TRANSFORMATION is?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - S0 let's condense this a bit? THEY don't like ANY government right now because NONE of them provide what they want? So they want to TRANSFORM all government? FROM WHAT- TO WHAT? LEGAL. POLITICAL, and SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION??? THEY want the LAWS to say what THEY want? The GOVERNMENT to be what they want? And SOCIETY to be what they want? And the 32 scientists come from a SOCIOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION??
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - IN FACT! THEY SAY!The Earth System Governance Project is the largest social science research network in the area of governance and global environmental change. SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH NETWORKSOCIAL SCIENCE.I wonder why nighty FAILED to mention that it's 32 scientists wereSOCIOLOGISTS?Like I said? Half truths and distortions are their meat and potatoes. And THEY wonder WHy almost everyone is starting to ask them a whole lot of questions? And If we do? They say KILL YOURSELF?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - BUT? WHERE did "earth system governance" come from?'Frank Biermann is the director of the Global Governance Project. He is professor of political science and of environmental policy sciences at the VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and visiting professor of earth system governance at Lund University, Sweden. He specialises in the study of global environmental politics, with emphasis on climate negotiations, UN reform, global adaptation governance, public-private governance mechanisms
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - He pioneered the concept of 'earth system governance' in 2005, which has evolved into a major global research programme in this field.Biermann holds several research management positions. Internationally, he chairs the Earth System Governance Project, a ten-year core research project of the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change. Biermann is also the founding director of the Global Governance Project.So he invented the "science" AND created the organization?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - Now if you want a real brain fire? Look up COUPLED SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL systems?Scholars (sociologists) have used the concept of socio-ecological systems to emphasise the integrated concept of humans in nature and to stress that the delineation between social systems and ecological systems is artificial and arbitrary.Got it?The differences between sociology and ecology are ARTIFICIAL and ARBITRARY???SO? There is NO difference???Interesting?
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - WHy does that remind me of Cool Hand LUke and SHAKIN THE BUSH BOSS, SHAKIN THE BUSH? Like shakin the bush proved you were still there?Well Nighty? I'm SHAKIN the BUSH and I AM still here?BUt? THIS was the single most important link THEY HAD TO MAKE! Otherwise? HUMAN caused and ECOLOGY(AGW) just didn't fit the puzzle right.HUMAN(sociology) and ECOLOGY HAD to be linked. They HAD to be a LINKED science. OR? NOTHING they said would work.
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - By WHy is this link REQUIRED? Example of an anthroplogical argument:anthropologist one: What, rice again???We had rice yesterday!anthropologist two. No we didn't! We had COUS COUS!anthropologist one: RICE! anthropologist two: COUS-COUS! anthropologist one: RICE! anthropologist two: COUS-COUS! anthropologist one: RICE! anthropologist two: COUS-COUS!

May 30, 2012 - More climate change news..(Please read before the denier with all the sock puppet accounts is allowed to censor it)...Weather runs hot and cold, so scientists look to the ice.A report released on Wednesday by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirmed that a strong body of evidence links global warming to an increase in heat waves, a rise in episodes of heavy rainfall and other precipitation, and more frequent coastal flooding. .reported in the NYT29 Mar 2012
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - And as some have noted here? God and religion in general is the very essence of an anthropological argument. One CULTURE says HE exists. the next says SHE exists, The next say NO THEY DON'T! One say he/she/ it is black. The next says white. One says he is Muslim. Another says OH NO YOU DIDN'T!Anthropology is CULTURE driven. HERE? One culture say we have to tax everyone into the poor house. The other says. BS! And BOTH are sure they have the MORAL highground?BUT? WHICH is making demands
101orson101 Says:
May 30, 2012 - ONE culture says WE NEED A NEW WORLD WIDE GOVERNMENT and POLICE force to enforce it's edicts? Another culture say FRAK YOU! ONE culture say we have to give up some of our personal notions of freedom for the good of the many, as THEY defone it? Hell? Even SPOCK had to learn that lesson the hard way?Yet? One has to wonder? IF they were so right? WHY does anyone have to give up ANY liberties and freedoms? And WHY REQUIRE a world police force to make them do it? Does NOT sound like a MORAL point.
Nightversionn Says:
May 30, 2012 - More climate change news...(Please read before the denier below with all the sock puppet accounts is allowed to censor it)....Climate change to cost Pakistan up to $14 billion annually.Climate change could cost the economy of Pakistan up to $14 billion each year for natural disasters and other losses -- almost 5 percent of the country's gross domestic product, stated Former Federal State Minister for Environment Malik Amin Aslam. .reported in the Lahore Daily Times, Pakistan23 March 2012

May 30, 2012 - Like mifty nigyhty says? 32, count them/ 32 scientists have decided what the world needs. ALL 32 of course come from ONE organization. That organization being:"THE EARTH SYSTEMS GOVERNANCE PROJECT."AND their STATED GOALS?The project is a decade-old effort to coordinate research on global governance, with a stated interest in reforming the United Nations, in order to mitigate human impacts on the environment.
