Rob Miller, managing director of the Rhoda Group, gave a talk called A Really Inconvenient Truth last year at the Hillside Club in Berkeley, California. In this clip he discusses the four scenarios of action vs. inaction in the face of climate change.

At the end of his discussion, (the full lecture is available on Fora.tv) Miller offers a way forward for individuals and business in grappling with the risk and reality of global warming.

Joe Miller, Sarah Palin’s choice candidate for one of Alaska’s Senate seats, does not believe in climate change. That didn’t bother Alaska voters this week as Miller bested Senator Lisa Murkowski in the state’s Republican primary. If that weren’t worrisome enough, it also emerged that the fossil fuel industry spent eight times more than environmental groups on lobbying in 2009, the year the House passed the climate change bill.

The ongoing devastation in Pakistan from recent flooding has now swamped one-fifth of the nation. Twenty million people, more than ten percent of the country’s population, are left homeless and in danger of contracting diseases such as cholera and other waterborne ailments. As of last Friday, at least 1500 have died from the flooding and millions are in danger of starving if relief doesn’t come soon. And as we in America twitter away our attention on the political posturing of the so-called “thought” leaders on imaginary threats – Sarah Palin’s mindless tweets notwithstanding – the threat from such extreme climate-related events on global security looms large in one of the most dangerous corners of the world.
