Help Stop the Climate Crisis

We can solve it.

Watch this update on the climate crisis from Al Gore.

“The danger is that the temperature increase might become self-sustaining, if it has not done so already… the warming of the seas may trigger the release of large quantities of CO2 trapped on the ocean floor. In addition, the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets will reduce the amount of solar energy reflected back into space and so increase the temperature further. We don’t know where the global warming will stop, but the worst case scenario is that earth would become like its sister planet, Venus, with a temperature of 250 centigrade, and raining sulfuric acid. The human race could not survive in those conditions.” Stephen Hawking, Cambridge math professor and theoretical physicist

Still in doubt about global warming? Watch this video. It's called "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See" and while it's not a horror movie, it is rather disturbing. And it's sweeping the Internet.

The YouTube video is actually a 10-minute lecture on global warming, delivered by Oregon high school science teacher Greg Craven. It may sound preachy, but it's hugely popular and has generated millions of hits on multiple websites.

Craven delivers the low-tech, video treatise from his home in Monmouth, Ore., armed with a black marker and a whiteboard.

He methodically argues that the debate over whether humans caused global warming is moot; instead, Craven says, "the risk of not acting far outweighs the risk of acting." Craven says at its worst, climate change could bring droughts, famine, floods, dust bowls, economic collapse and the displacement of millions. He concedes that the policy changes that are needed to counter global warming will be economically painful. But he insists that the costs of maintaining the status quo will be worse.
