I saw a video recently which applied Pascal's Wager to the global warming debate. For those unfamiliar with the argument, it made the case that the consequences of staying inactive about global warming and being wrong are far more dangerous than taking action and nothing happening.
Do you think this argument applies? Do you agree? If you do agree, what kind of action do you think we should take?
Here's the link to the video if you're interested. I don't know what qualifications if any the guy has, but what he's saying is interesting in itself: http://www.break.com/index/tough-to-argue.html
