 | Sea Level Rise and Its Impact on Southern California Beaches Southern California is renowned for its beautiful beaches. The effect of sea level rise on these beaches could have grave economic consequences for the region. Join Dr. Reinhard Flick as he describes how the coast and beaches of southern California formed, why they look the way they do, and how various scenarios for rising sea level play out.

 | The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See Over 6,700,000 total views on various websites so far! But DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO! I'm serious. This message isn't a hack (I'm the guy in the video), and it's not a ploy to get you to actually watch it (reverse psychology). It's just that there's a hole in this argument big enough to drive a Hummer through because of an assumption I didn't realize I had (isn't that just the way with assumptions. . .), and the argument has been UPDATED to address that hole. So instead of watching this old, tired, hole-y video, go watch the NEW, IMPROVED version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg It's called "How It All Ends," and is backed up by literally HOURS of "Expansion Pack" videos, answering every single criticism, objection, "What If," "How About," and "You Missed a Spot," that I came across in reading the 7000+ comments (most of them critical) on various websites about the argument presented in this "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See." So please, DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO and then make some comment about Pascal's Wager or how this argument can be applied to any threat, no matter how ridiculous. Those, and literally EVERY OTHER OBJECTION I'VE EVER HEARD are answered in the bruisingly thorough series of videos backing up "How It All Ends." Even though I DON'T WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS VIDEO, I'm not taking it down, because I'm hoping it (and the comments attached) will become a small piece of history, as a precursor to the UNDENIABLE TOUR-DE-FORCE ARGUMENT that is the "How It All Ends" video project. So DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO (have I made myself clear?) I'm hoping that it dies a nice, quite, peaceful death, fading into respected irrelevance. Instead, go watch the new, up-and-coming "How It All Ends" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg Once you get there--if you follow the index to the other videos--I think you'll find that I present an argument that you CANNOT poke a hole in. I've spent literally hundreds of hours discussing, researching, and refining my arguments to ensure that. And then, once you're convinced, do everything you can to spread the message--forward the video, leave comments, nominate it for awards, agitate for YouTube and others to feature it, mash it up, burn DVDs and hand them out like candy--hell, even record YOURSELF making the arguments, get famous doing so, and make lots of money--I don't care! Just get the ideas out there! So go ahead. Watch "How It All Ends," and its expansion pack videos, and try to poke a hole in the argument. I dare you. I DOUBLE-DOG dare you. (Ooooooo. . . .) And if you can't, then you may find yourself with a strong agitation to do something about the potential threat. In my experience, the only way to calm that agitation is to act on it. I've got a video for that, too. ;-) So go for it. ****BULLETIN (10NOV08): Despite my best intentions to let go of this damn project and get back to my family, I gave in to a book agent's suggestion to turn these videos into a book.

 | Climate Change: What We Know and What We Need to Learn How is human activity changing the climate and what are the consequences? Is global warming the cause of more frequent droughts, stronger storms and less snow in the mountains? Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Scientist Dave Bader explores what scientists know about climate change and the research tools used to study the climate.

 | The human face of climate change Testimonials from around the world. Climate change has been at the forefront of international debate with a focus on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The social and humanitarian implications of climate change, however, are only beginning to be brought to public and political attention as a systemic issue of deep concern. The adverse impact of climate change primarily affects the world's poorest and most vulnerable; the very people who contribute the least to climate change suffer the most -- a striking injustice. Climate change is likely to trigger, or at least constitute a key factor in an increasing number of humanitarian crises worldwide. The immediate and most visible consequences of climate change are more frequent and intense weather events such as storms and flooding. In addition, and probably more importantly in terms of scale, slower-onset disasters, such as climate-change-driven water stress or rising sea levels caused by melting polar ice and shrinking glaciers or higher global temperatures, are already being felt in many parts of the world, and in particular by millions of people in poor and marginalized communities. Climate change has a negative impact on sustainable development and on progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. Water stress in the form of severe drought, dwindling groundwater sources, and changing rain patterns is dramatically aggravating food scarcity in a number of already vulnerable zones. Rising sea levels could submerge island nations and flood entire coastal areas, putting millions of people at risk. The humanitarian impact of climate change is likely to be among the biggest humanitarian challenges in years and decades to come. Action so far has been slow and inadequate compared with needs.

 | Climate Scientist Dr. Michael Oppenheimer on climate change In-depth interview with Dr. Michael Oppenheimer, climate change scientist at Princeton University and one of the co-authors of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change who along with Al Gore were recently co-recipients of the Nobel Prize for their work in climate change science and awareness. Dr. Oppenheimer discusses the many dimensions of the complex issue of climate change science, as well as giving practical advice to citizens around the world on how they can take practical and economical steps to reducing their carbon footprint and to force politicians to take more serious action on this vital issue of our time. |
 | You Control Climate Change More information: http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/greencatalogue/swf/ The European Commission has launched a campaign to build public awareness of climate change. Using the slogan "You control climate change", the campaign encourages citizens to adopt certain everyday habits to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The campaign which kicked off on 29 May 2006 encourages the public to sort waste, leave the car in the garage, use public transport, not to leave electrical devices switched on, and so on. In short: "turn down, switch off, recycle, walk". |

 | Antigua And Barbuda National Anthem The Siboney were the first to inhabit the islands of Antigua and Barbuda in 2400 B.C., but Arawak Indians populated the islands when COLUMBUS landed on his second voyage in 1493. Early settlements by the Spanish and French were succeeded by the English who formed a colony in 1667. Slavery, established to run the sugar plantations on Antigua, was abolished in 1834. The islands became an independent state within the British Commonwealth of Nations in 1981. Capital: name: Saint John's Administrative divisions: 6 parishes and 2 dependencies*; Barbuda*, Redonda*, Saint George, Saint John, Saint Mary, Saint Paul, Saint Peter, Saint Philip. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ac.html |
 | Climate Change and the Ocean From http://scienceinsociety.northwestern.edu - Global Warming: A Threat to Biodiversity is a Northwestern University public outreach program to help the general public understand the reality of global warming and its impact on biodiversity. A panel of five experts discuss- in plain English- the scientific and social issues involved in the ecological aspects of global warming. (3 of 7 - Global Warming) Dr. Richard Feely discusses the broad impact of global warming on our oceans. He examines the damaging effects of retreating arctic ice, coral reef bleaching, and ocean acidification on fragile marine life ecosystems. |
