The "Pascal" argument is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my problems with this video. He says that the cost of doing something about global warming is that we lose money and go into a depression but it's easy to forget that people around the world will suffer from higher food prices. Higher food prices for some people means the difference between life and death. And I would make the argument that if the earth is warming up it may benefit life. The vast majority of life exists close to the warmer climates by the equator and hardly any life exists in colder climates like the north pole. Maybe in the shortrun a degree increase will hurt life but longterm it will help life because plants will grow where they didn't before which will benefit animals and man. Someone still needs to convince me that a degree increase will certainly be bad for humanity because I'm not convinced.

I must admit that video irks me. I have a masters in mathematics and I feel I am educated enough to respond to it. If I had the technology I'd be tempted to make a video response to it and rip it to shreds.
