Climate Science Video – Is it Convincing?

As we watched the last days of the Olympics the past few days, I zeroed in on television ads sponsored by the American Oil & Gas industry – lots of these ads – and by the American coal industry. Both emphasized, with patriotic overtones, how important they are to creating jobs, and to achieving national independence, along with how amazingly clean they are. Not a word, not a nod, to impact on future climate. Both ad campaigns are efforts to inoculate the public against any new climate change legislation and to keep subsidies alive.
I just came across a very good video summarizing the state of climate science. I doubt it will be convincing to committed skeptics or to the funders of the energy ads.
It is a mystery to me, really it is, why so many people are willing to gamble with the future, when we don’t have to.
