The video was very entertaining, but can something so complex be boiled down into four categories? I am not so sure.
And if we use his argument and take the most extreme situations, we find that draconian legislation and over compensation may in fact lead to global famine and War as well as major environmental degradation, not just 'economic recession'.
The other issue here is who should act, not just IF anyone should act. There are arguments that state that only those countries which have gained the luxury of having their basic needs met can afford to act.
With that in mind for me the evidence is clear that we need to start taking action, but the action we take must be Smart.
