Worth a watch, however, I can point out a few flaws in the logic.
1. Economic downside is not something to be taken lightly- this could
affect the well being/lives of many more people than climate change.
2. The weighting of prestigious institutions argument- have prestige has
never stopped large institutions from undermining their credibility for a
benefit.
3. The 'handful' of dissenting scientists argument. This is a common
myth, but just not true.
Having outlined the points above, intelligent risk management of the climate
change issue, advocated in the video, is the best way forward, from my
perspective. Have a look and kick in your own 2 cents.
