I watched the first half-hour. The rest I'm recording.

There are some things I agree with. Some I don't.

The primary thing that I agree with is that humans will do absolutely nothing beyond token measures like recycling (and they kick and scream about having to do even that) until there is an absolute crisis. But their example of an absolute crisis wouldn't be big enough. A category 5 hurricane wouldn't do it.... we already had Katrina. While 'Nature' magazine has had articles linking global warming to number and strength of hurricanes, there are plenty of others that dismiss their findings.

But I'm putting all my money into desalination plants. Looks like a great stock to get into.
