Which worse are YOU going to choose?
For skeptics about global warming, or even for anyone, the following video makes an interesting argument. Basically, the guy argues that whether or not global warming is real, the course of action to take is pretty obvious.

One thing though - while his presentation might seem fair to both sides, the leniency goes to the side that says global warming doesn't exist. Let's be clear: there's OVERWHELMING evidence now that global warming is, indeed, happening, and that we're responsible for the speed and intensity of this climate change (as opposed to previous ones that have happened throughout the history of our earth). Of course, you'll always find a scientist somewhere ready to say the opposite, but the scientific community as a whole has accepted this is a fact. (See for example the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, especially its Fourth Assessment, two part of which have been published this year.) So it's not exactly like the two lines are equal as likely scenarios. There's pretty damn tough evidence in favor of global warming.
For a very basic but extremely clear and comprehensive understanding of global warming, there's nothing like Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth".

(Anonymous) 2007-06-18 07:33 am (UTC)(link)A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash, produced and directed by award-winning European journalists and filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack, tells the story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. The idea that the world’s oil supplies have peaked, or will soon, is gaining mainstream currency. You needn’t be a conspiracy theorist to see a connection between America’s current obsessions with the Middle East and national security, and the world’s looming oil crisis. The frenzied search for alternative sources of energy now being pursued by the largest multinational energy corporations makes it clear they also believe a crisis is fast approaching. Each day’s headlines, whether the subject is Iraq or South America, sheds new light on the issue. Shot on location at oil fields in Azerbaijan, Venezuela, the Middle East and Texas, with original music by Daniel Schnyder and Philip Glass, the film provides not only questions, but possible solutions to the most perplexing and important economic, environmental and public policy issue of our time.
