getting to the point
I think this is the most candid and to-the-point argument on climate change that I've heard. It's well worth ten minutes of your time; heck, it's worth watching just out of appreciation for good logic, all apart from its social relevance.

I would just like to state, for the record, that I had no idea that people's opinions of monkeys were so complicated. (But then, I guess family dynamics are like that sometimes.) -
