My cousin Carolyn sent me a YouTube link today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDsIFspVzfI
This link has gotten more than 2 million hits, which on balance is probably a good thing. The geeky guy argues well for taking action to stop global climate change (GCC). But he’s also propogating a huge error that propogates fear. He suggests that if GCC isn’t real, or is as remote as some in our government and corporate America insist, but we take action anyway (since ostensibly we don’t know for sure), the worst that can happen might be global economic crisis (as opposed to decimation of the human race).

This is wrong thinking! There is plenty of money to be made in green technologies and sustainable business. It’s true that oil companies that refuse to explore alternative fuels may have to cash out with only the billions they’ve garnered from our war in the Middle East, but nations, corporations and individuals who have invested in alternative fuel and lifestyle will reap the benefit. We have to stop thinking doomsday and get creative!
