You are so right -- see what the heat does to your brain?? We removed a layer of clothing and corrected it. Thanks.

By the way, it's magnates, NOT magnets...
But what do I know? I'm just a stupid flat-earther.

The problem with your four square box is that you have tilted the outcome to support the idea that it is better to take action, than to not.
You did this by collecting the most scary scenarios of the IPCC and the extreme global warming activists WITHOUT assigning the probability that they may occur to them.
While blithely throwing aside the possible problems associated with a world-wide economic collapse. As if the world wide economy is not tied to things like providing health care to people (bad economy, less able to do so) or feeding people. Or being able to respond to true disasters like the hurricane in Burma, the earthquake in China, the Tsunami in the pacific.
Wasting money is just like wasting resources, as a matter of fact, a good economist can tell you that money is a symbol for resourses. Just ask the Arabs if their resources aren't worth money.
As far as your nightmare scenarios goes, you can get the same sort of things from natural occurances such as an asteroid strike, or a super-volcano eruption.
Do you seriously think, in the face of the scientists that say otherwise, that sea levels can rise 20 feet in 10 years? Huh? And by scientists, I am talking about the same scientists that put together the IPCC reports. Or do you want to make your own nightmare scenarios without ANY credible scientific evidence to back it up?
Or how about the lead author in the IPCC report recanting the idea that AGW will cause more and stronger hurricanes? I think I heard you mention that hurricanes like Katrina might become the norm. Well, here's a news flash for you: Catagory 3 hurricanes have always been the norm, as far back as recorded history goes. And now you have someone that beat the drum talking about "More bad hurricanes" saying, well maybe not. And if they are stronger, then it would be 1 to 2%.
Here is the comment that pokes a hole in your silver bullet:

It is stupid to waste resources (money) combating something that only has a 1 to 2 percent chance in coming true. And the "draconian" regulations that it is O.K. for you, becuase you live in the USA, would result in certain death and disease (because of the lack of resources i.e. money) for literally millions, maybe more, as we recover the economy because the "rich" countries wouldn't be able to help and support them.

Good luck with your video. Let me know how it works out, I'm truly interested.
