well in Chris' defense, this film crew flagged us down after the conference and asked us a bunch of questions on the spot, then edited our responses. I thought they did a good job, but its not like these were rehearsed, practiced or the questions known in advance....Chris' more articulated views on the intersection of peak oil and climate change come out in his writing and work at TOD - but this video does serve as a small example of how easily spoken word can depart from science when on the spot...

Ah okay, you should have told us that from the beginning!

So now you get a compliment - if that's how you lot speak when off the cuff, that's fucking brilliant. I assumed it was prepared and more-or-less scripted. It certainly doesn't look like you got ambushed as you describe.

My advice to you is go for the scripted speeches if you're going to spread the videos around. When dealing with something which is in the public mind either a controversial issue or an unknown one, you want to make sure you're saying exactly what you want to say.
