    Now there’s a book:
    “…superbly crafted…. A must read.” -Gen. Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.)

    “This book trumps most of our accounts of the global warming crisis.” –author Bill McKibben

    “Al Gore should share his Nobel peace prize.” -The “New Scientist”

    “This is a tremendous book and well worth anyone’s time to read…. You’re in for a treat—Craven is funny as well as exceptionally clear, and wise.” –Kim Stanley Robinson, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Mars Trilogy and Science in the Capital

    “This is a terrifically thoughtful book…. Cravens book shines an illuminating floodlight on how we think about global warming.”
    –Ross Gelbspan, author, “The Heat Is On” and “Boiling Point”

    Greg Craven (that’s me!), the creator of “The Most Terrifying Video” never intended to write a book. It just sort of happened. All as a result of the two-year back-and forth I’ve had with the YouTube community about this video and its follow up marathon “How It All Ends.”

    So now “What’s the Worst That Could Happen? A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate” is available from Amazon and other sellers through the links at www.gregcraven.org, as well as your local bookstore (I hope!).

    Check it out if you’re intrigued by the argument in this video.

    ———-

    The reason the comments are closed on this video is that most of the criticisms of what’s presented here have been addressed by the bruisingly thorough 7-hour How It All Ends video project, the discussion is happening over there. I spent months combing through literally tens of thousands of critical comments to find every single objection, criticism, “Yeah but,” and “You missed a spot” that I could to this video.

    You might find the results interesting, and hopefully, helpful: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=92EE5DBE2987982F

    You can post comments there. But to tell the truth, the conversation has moved even farther along, since the criticisms to those videos gave rise to the book, which now has it’s own discussions going at http://www.manpollo.org/forums/index.php.

    Cisco Security MARS Training from Global Knowledge

    Posted by admin on January 14th, 2010 and filed under network security | No Comments »

    Cisco Security MARS Training from Global Knowledge – In this video, Global Knowledge course director Jim Thomas, a specialist in Cisco security training, explains what’s different about our Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS) course.
    Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS) is a family of high-performance, scalable appliances for threat management, monitoring, and mitigation that enables you to make more effective use of network and security devices by combining network intelligence, context correlation, vector analysis, anomaly detection, hotspot identification, and automated mitigation capabilities. With MARS solutions you can readily and accurately identify, manage, and eliminate network attacks and maintain network compliance.
    Jim explains how we’ve enhanced our labs beyond what you’ll find in the standard Cisco MARS training course by incorporating more real-world labs, network devices, and software applications. The standard Cisco MARS course uses preconfigured virtual devices where we use real equipment to prepare you for real-world scenarios.

    On Eve of Obama’s Moscow Summit, Experts Warn of Growing Risks to US Nuclear Deterrent

    Posted by admin on January 2nd, 2010 and filed under security policy | 8 Comments »

    As President Obama prepares to depart for Moscow, few Americans have any idea that his administration is in the process of negotiating a follow-on to the START treaty framework that appears likely to leave the United States and its allies substantially less secure. The New Deterrent Working Group – an informal team with hundreds of man-years of experience with America’s nuclear forces, doctrine, operations and arms control that is sponsored by the Center for Security Policy – have prepared for Members of Congress, the executive branch, the press and the public at large a comprehensive Briefing Book entitled, U.S. Nuclear Deterrence in the 21st Century: Getting It Right. http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/p18110.xml?genre_id=4

    Posted by admin on November 17th, 2009 and filed under Risk Management | 1 Comment »

    January 29, 2008 presentation by Stephen Schneider for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series.

    When a climate expert gets cancer, the result is unifying theory about how to tackle questions in each field. Stephen Schneider, PhD, professor of biological sciences, discusses his ideas about climate and cancer. He also discusses his 2005 book, The Patient from Hell, which chronicles his attempts to find the best treatment when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
