Hi, my name is Stievanny. I am an Indonesian who is now studying in Taiwan.
I've listened to your arguments, and I thought that was solid enough. However there's a part which I did not really get what you mean, which is in Column "false" and "yes". You said if the G-CC is not be real and we did take action, that means we already wasted money, and we are in a global economic depression.
1. In what way "wasted money" did you mean?
2. Why did you say there will be a global economic depression? Don't you think that was to extreme to be true?
Well, I don't want to say that it was completely unreasonable, but I think that part was not strong enough to be one of your argument.
I think even if the G-CC turn out to not be true, and we did take action, actually we didn't wasted money at all, maybe I will consider it as a preventive way to prevent the global warming.
However overall, I really like your arguments. It gave me some new ideas about Global Warming.
Regards,
Stievanny
Hi Jane and students,
I liked this video - I think the author made his point very clearly. Not everything can be measured in terms of costs.
Warm regards from Slovenia
