The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See
By Viola Woolcott
This is Greg Craven. He is a secondary school science teacher and environmental harbinger of doom. His video, ‘The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See’, has prompted a storm on the web, with over 4 million viewers (and a fair few critics among them).
Craven argues that An Inconvenient Truth didn’t go far enough. Don’t you think that is well impressive?
To pull it off took him months of living on take-out and energy drinks while his wife and two daughters moved out for weeks at a time as he filmed away back at home, working hard on his 44-part series.
Craven also found his share of critics among the ostrich-crowd as well… with almost 7000 negative comments in return for his efforts. All of which, it seems, served to help him refine what he had to say as he patched the holes in his original video with a follow-up called “How It All Ends”.
As Craven himself puts it himself:
“This is not just another environmental issue. This may eat our lunch. This is fundamentally different because in a complex system like the climate, there may be tipping points where irreversible damage is done, but you don’t see it until it’s too late to do something about it. That’s what really has motivated me.”
The video is well worth a watch. See it below, and draw your own conclusion!
