Climate change is simple: We do something or we’re screwed

Posted on 04:54 by Unknown
Grist's Dave Roberts has a TED talk on global warming - Climate change is simple: We do something or we’re screwed.
Back in April, The Evergreen State College invited me to speak at a TEDx event called “Hello Climate Change: Rethinking the Unthinkable.” Videos from the event are now online.

My talk was called “Climate change is simple.” I’m proud to say that I used only 17 of my allotted 15 minutes.

I’ve put an annotated version of my slideshow beneath the video, linking to sources and adding thoughts. The only thing I’ll say about the video itself is that I’ve always thought these things would be better with a soundtrack.
