If that video doesn't make you think that doing something about climate change is important then I don't know what to say.
The economics he raises. He quotes dollars. I call bull on that. For one, he was less than convincing that the results would be "hell on earth". Second, we barely understand the economics of healthcare, now we claim that the economic costs of "hell on earth" is the easy part? The "natural progression of that basic fact"? Total, complete, and utter BS. The lack of scientific and logical rigor is astounding. It calls into question the entire thesis.

And yes, you DO need an economics degree to make that connection, and have any credibility whatsoever. Kinda like how you need a science degree in a climate related subject to have any credibility in climate science.
